Speck CandyShell SATIN for iPhone 4S

This is my review of the Speck CandyShell SATIN for the iPhone 4S.


The Speck CandyShell SATIN is a hybrid case that fits the iPhone 4S and comes in Black/ Dark Grey, White/ Pomodoro, and Aubergine/ Cobalt.

The case has a rigid plastic shell with a satin feel, and a rubber inside with holes punched through for impact protection.  Installing the iPhone 4S inside the Speck CandyShell SATIN is very simple similar to removal. The camera cutout is MASSIVE, the buttons are very tactile, the silent switch is simple to access, the 30 pin dock connector port and the speaker and microphone are open, the 3.5 millimeter headset jack and the secondary noise cancellation microphone have miniscule cutouts, the front has a nice lay on the table design, the rubber has reinforced corners, and the satin texture prevents scratches while adding a good grip. With two layers in one case, the rigid plastic being a satin texture, this case gets a top rating.

MSRP: $34.95  
  The Speck CandyShell has a rubber lay on the table lip, camera cutout which might affect the flash, but does not affect the flash with my BatWing Black or NightShade Purple case on the iPhone 4 at all because the cases are darker colors, rubber buttons for the volume buttons and Sleep/Wake button which are very responsive, a cutout for the headphone jack which is miniscule that some headphone jacks might not fit, with the same cutout for the secondary microphone, a cutout for the speakers and dock connector, and rubber on the inside with holes punched in for shock absorption and heat absorption.  The case adds a slight ammout of bulk, but not too bad.  With a rubber lay on the table, there are reinforced rubber corners to absorb shock.
