Speck Website | AT&T Website​
I got this case over a month ago and so far I'm very happy with it. I used to be an OtterBox lover but the silicon and plastic just made it feel cheap and weak. The CandyShell Case is the best of both worlds for me. It's a strong hard shell with a soft silicon gel inside but its also one piece. So no pieces of plastic or silicon bend like on the OtterBox products (specifically the commuter case). I don't work in a heavy machinery environment or do much stuff like that so this case does the job and keeps my phone in one piece the way it should be.
I have dropped the phone with the case on only once, so far, and it was while I was getting out the car and it fell face first and since the edges are raised above the screen nothing was damaged on the phone except the screen protector was slightly scuffed. Overall I'm very satisfied with the case. Couldn't ask for any more than this!
More pics attached. If anyone has any questions let me know. I work at AT&T so I've got more cases here like the Otterbox Defender & Commuter, Speck Cases, and also a Black TPP Leather Case. I'll upload pics if need be.
Next thing on my list:
- Dock

I've had mines for a little over a month and now it seems the top edges are all scratched up and the area near where you plug in the charger is about to rip apart (the bridge area). I'm trying to do a warranty claim, this case doesn't seem to hold up as well as I thought.

im constantly taking my phone in and out of the case so my case bridge area (near the charger port) is not showing any problems of wear and tear. I always put the phone in from the bridge side first and then squeeze the rest of it in. and the scratches happen. its not scratch proof.

How is the volume rocker with this case? Does it "protect" it more? I find that with my "naked" Vivid, I am always maxing or muting the volume by accicent from just handling the phone.

I just picked this up today. It definitely lessens the ease at which you can hit the volume rocker, but not as much as I expected. Still a nice case and it look great with the white Vivid.

I had this case when it first came out. I love the look and protection of it, but the inner soft material is starting to look dry and has these ugly white cracks all along it. Most noticeable on the lip that is around the screen when the case is on.

i liked the white case overall...even after a while it held up well
the lip is fine with me cuz it raises my phone up while its face down
also i returned the case and got an otterbox commuter. its just as good (one of the first good commuters ive used in a while)
but right now im keeping my phone case-less
its so sexy without it but im so scared it might break

I have an Otterbox Commuter currently, and was wondering how my case compares with this one? The top edges of my case are scratched

Finally took the plunge and bought this candyshell today. Pretty great so far. Looks great and makes the phone easier to hold for me.

It looks pretty good

Had the exact same case since November and it is every bit as good as an otterbox.

My only gripe with this case, is the rubber edges the sorround the bezel gets worn and start to look like pencil shavings, i try to remove them by rubbing it with my finger or cloth, bu sometimes it makes it worse. Kinda annoying...

Otterboxes for the M

A little to much bulk for me but I know some people love these... I plan to stick with the VZW TPU case and the holster for the shell case. They work well together...

Love the otter but your exactly right I took a look at them and they are definitely bulky IMO. I just bought a cheap clear case on eBay. Looks good with the white razr m. Say no to retail!! Lol

The defender cases are a little absurd unless you work construction or are in a war zone but I have the Commuter case for the Galaxy Nexus and It feels like a solid part of the phone. It adds about a cm in all directions to it but it's really worth it if you want good protection and a really solid feel. It's really the first case I've ever had that felt like part of the phone.

Commuter for M Pics
Got the Commuter in last night, thought you guys might like some pics.
imgur.com/a/NuwBV (Can't post links yet, sorry. Just copy&paste.)
Overall Impression: Excellent case. Fits perfect in the hand, giving me a confident grip I didn't have with the naked M. It is the most painless install/removal of an Otterbox I've ever experienced; Simply line it up at the top, drop it down and it seats perfectly. The silicone used is so far not attracting any dust or other particles, and if it does they simply wipe off. Included screen protector fits well, however it had a bad case of rainbow banding in certain light (such as at my workplace) making it impossible to use there. Highly Recommended! :highfive:

Trident confirmed yesterday that they are producing cases for the M. One that interests me is the Aegis model. Its a competitor to the Otterbox Commuter and Incipio style cases. They will launch their line the end of this month or beginning of November. I just purchased the Boxwave Duosuit. Should be here Friday. I'll let y'all know how that one turns out.

Picked up a black commuter the other day. Really wanted the white one for my white phone, but they didn't have it, and I wasn't going to wait after seeing it in front of me.
Fits great, seems plenty protective, and the phone doesn't feel bulky to me. The black case leaves a little room where a "white line" from the white phone shows up, kind of a cool little accent. Would recommend for $35 for sure.

Honestly as odd is this may be to some people this is the case I'm personally excited, I bought for my wife for her iPhone and she loved it and it looked really good so I'm excited about it for the Razr M
otterbox.com/DROID-RAZR-M-BY-MOTOROLA-Defender-Series-with-Realtree%C2%AE-Camo/mot2-razr-m-realtree,default,pd.html?dwvar_mot2-razr-m-realtree_color=H3&start=1&cgid=droid-razr-m-by-motorola

any idea what the difference is between the defender case and defender hybrid case? The review on Otterbox's website says there is no built in screen protector just a adhesive protector for the screen. Can't seem to figure out if the hybrid has the screen protector like other defenders have?

I got the Defender about two weeks ago. Yes...the case is bulky but I do spend some of my work days on construction sites. I love the case.
My only complaint is the latches in the hard inner case. The top, bottom and USB side latches are all solid. Maybe it's because the volume/power button side only has 1 latch but it rarely stays latched. Fortunately, the outside rubber case keeps most of the free play of that side to a minimum.
Biggest complaint: cheap ass belt holster. Cheap material. Kick stand won't even stand up with the phone in the holster. I can't believe they use that as a selling point because it won't even come close to keep the phone from falling over. What a joke!! No lock on the holster latch and it would be EASY to bump the latch, allowing the phone to fall out. Very easy!
The holster is a joke in comparison to the Seidio clip lock holster that I had with my Blackberrys. Much better latch, a lock and better materials. I mostly keep the phone in my pocket because I'm scared of my phone falling out of the holster. The case is nice but it won't protect the phone if it falls15+ floors from one of my projects.
Good case. Terrible holster. Worth $35 instead of $50.

Question
I am interested in buying this case but I don't like cases that stick to my pocket while pulling them out. Does this matte case have any problems?
I notice that there is a line/indentation around the back of the case - does this trap dirt/lint? I am wondering why they placed it there in the first place.
Thanks.

It goes in and out of my jeans pockets with no issues. If you wear skinny jeans, then I can't help you. It is remarkable to me how little dirt/lint stick to this thing. It is made of hard but flexible rubber, I haven't found anything sticking to it. Keep in mind, its a barely bigger than the phone and it does push up my screen protector in the lower left hand corner. My Spigen case didn't do that, but it made the phone feel huge to me.

Thanks!
Thanks for the info. What kind of screen protector do you have? I have purchased Invisible Defender (screen protector) and diztronic case. Hopefully they wont cause huge problems.
Thank you.

It's just a cheap clear one from Amazon. This case really hugs the screen, it adds almost no width at all. Its not really noticeable unless I look for it, I wouldn't think you'll have huge problems.

Spigen cases always seem to add unnecessary bulk, especially width to phones with their cases. And their colored plastic backs scratch and swirl like crazy.
They are extremely overrated and overpriced imo.

Got a link and pictures?

Can someone test something out on this case for me?
Are you able to stick 1 Credit Card and 1 photo ID on the inside of the back of the case? Will the case stay on and clip to the phone?
I am doing just that on my current phones case and would like to know what cases I can replicate this on.
Thanks in advance!

Does it seem like it could absorb a drop?

I'm using the black one for at&t and it has the correct mic hole openings and all. The op's pics didn't show the at&t version. Just an fyi.

Amazon just emailed me, my Verizon Diztronic Matte TPU case just shipped. Should be here by this Saturday or next Monday.

That lip on the back seems like a weird design choice... i have loved diztronic cases in the past, so I'm sure i'll order this.

At least on the Verizon version there is no lip. It is just a smooth back.

Agreed.
Got one for my and the wifes phone....she prefers my Ballistic case (go figure) but the Diztronic is excellent and not bulky.
I might try the Incipio DualPro to see how it compares to the Ballistic.

Another shout out for diztronic. Perfect slim fit and just enough case for me. Mine surprisingly arrived in the mail yesterday. Great case at a great price!

For everyone wanting to get a screen protector that fits with this case, the Supershieldz screen protector from Amazon doesn't get in the way of the case if installed well (AT&T version).

Trident Aegis case

I wanted something different from an Otterbox. It's a great case, you might not like the color, but it's available in a lot of varieties. It has dust filters over the speaker (a must for my job) and I got it from Amazon.

I've had that case on a few of my phones; Trident cases are top notch, and although they are somewhat bulky, they definitely protect your phone really well..

Yep, they're as bulky as an Otterbox. I get a small piece of mind knowing that I could throw my phone across the street if I wanted to and not get a scratch. :good:

I've always just used the standard black otter box defender on every phone since my Dell streak, but that is a HANDSOME case! would you guys say it's equally as protective? screen guard?

It doesnt have a built in screen guard, but they might include one when you buy the case..
Its not as gigantic as the Otterbox, but it protects in a similar way..

The Trident case comes with a screen protector. If you're going to buy an Otterbox, I would get the Commuter. The Defender scratches the hell out of the sides of your phone, because your phone is rubbing up against hard plastic the whole time. With the Commuter, it's the rubber part that goes around your phone, then the hard plastic shell goes around that.
The last Defender I bought absolutely ruined the looks of my old phone.

I've been running Trident for about 4 years now and always will look to them first.

I just got mine last Friday , and while this case is top notch it will probably go back to Amazon. One because of its size( it is bulky) and two the plugs for headphone and charging constantly pop open.

Nice looking case! Trident def makes 'em good, but why don't they make a belt clip holster? That I can see, Seidio isn't making an active case/holster combo for the flex, and Otterbox only has a holster if you go with the defender. So that leaves Ballistic. I have an otterbox commuter case, does anyone know of a belt clip holster that'll fit the commuter? When I had my Note II I got an aftermarket holster that fit my commuter case (that was given to me), but it seems this flex isn't popular enough to warrant the companies going all out for it. Unless I can find a holster for my OB communter case, I'll just buy a ballistic case/holster combo off ebay... amazon doesn't do well with shipping to Puerto Rico!

Anyone can share some experience about bumper case for LG G4??

Anyone can share some experience about bumper case for LG G4??

I got the LG G4 with Bumper case and this case fits securely on my phone, feels good in my hands, and displays the beauty of this phone. My mother did complain it was slippery in the case, but that was after she dropped my brand new phone on a tiled floor. The phone didn't sustain any damage and hasn't in the several drops it has received from me as well. The case is mildly susceptible to scratches, but its taking the abuse your phone isn't so its not a big deal and it isn't that noticeable.
If you like a slim, low profile case this will work for you. I can easily slip it in and out of my pocket and it doesn't add much bulk to the phone!!!!

I just received this case. It fits perfectly on the plastic back cover. But it doesn't fit properly on the leather cover. Really has me bummed. Not enough protection from falls. The lip on the front of the case doesn't come around the screen enough, like it does with the plastic case. If you dropped it, the screen, especially the corners, would be in danger of damage. I have the wireless sticker inside the leather back, so I was really hoping that this would be the bumper that would allow me to feel the leather.

I ordered aluminum bumper for my brown leather case. Item is as described but isn't really for the leather back.
It is really tight fit and I thought this will leave a permanent mark in long run and sure enough, less than a minute I took it off and had slight indentation where the bumper touches the back. Thankfully leather healed itself and mark is gone now.
I wouldn't recommend this for leather back users. But looks beautiful when it's on. I really hope some manufacturers make similar items for leathers.

I think it depends on the back. I have black leather and although it does leave a little mark, because of the texture, it's very difficult to see.
I can see how it would show pretty easy on the brown leather though since it isn't textured.

I have this on my Nexus 5, love it
