Color Name:Peacock/Black|Amazon Verified Purchase
I had been shopping for a good case for my iPhone since I purchased it in November. There are a lot of choices out there, but I really liked the look and design of the Speck cases. The problem came down to deciding which type of Speck case I wanted. I had been looking at the CandyShell black/peacock one for a long time. I love the color teal and really liked the case, but I was afraid that the slick candyShell case would make it too slippery and hard to hold on to. That and the cases were still pretty expensive. So I decided to wait a bit and I'm glad I did. During that time, Speck released a peacock/black version of their Grip case, which gives the stability of a hard shell with the softness and flexibility of a soft rubber case. I had a rubber case before just to protect it and it was really nice until it started stretching. That's not an issue with this case because of the hard shell, which makes the whole phone feel so much more substantial. That being said, this case doesn't add a lot of extra bulk or weight to the phone (which was one of my biggest issues with the otterbox and other cases like it). The rubber grips on the back definitely give it just enough grip to make it feel secure in your hand and on soft surfaces like the arm of a chair, or the seat of a car.
That being said, there is one small issue I had with the case. When I was putting the phone in the case, the way my screen protector that I had on the back of the phone was lined up, it got caught by the case which pushed it up. I didn't notice it until about 15 minutes later and by that time, there was all sorts of dust stuck to the screen protector right near where my camera was. I cleaned it up as best I could and tried to put the case back on, but the screen protector kept getting caught and pushed up, leaving bubbles under the screen protector. I finally got some tape and cut it into thin strips to help hold the screen protector down.
Speck recommends putting the top of the phone in first and then snapping the bottom in. Don't do it if you have a screen protector on the back of your phone. I finally figured out that the screen protector was being pushed up when I slid the top of my phone in (it was getting caught on the hard plastic ring around the camera cut out). Once I figured this out, I started putting the bottom in first and then snapping the top in. That kept the screen protector from being caught on anything. I still have the little pieces of tape there just in case, and I was able to get most of the dust out and most of the bubbles smoothed to the edge away from the camera lens. Just be careful when putting the phone in the case. I love it for it's stability, but that's part of what makes it a bit difficult to get the phone in and out (which is also a plus, really, but not so much when it messes up your screen protector). Just make sure that if you have a screen protector on the back (which I highly recommend because this case has a habit of picking up quite a bit of dust in it's nooks and crannies, the camera cut out being one of them), that you slide the bottom in and snap the top in. It should keep the protector from being caught on anything, though I'm not 100% sure because by the time I figured out what was going on, my screen protector had already been dislodged.
Aside from that, I'm incredibly pleased with the case itself. I was a bit dubious of it because I saw no listing for a black/peacock Grip case on the speck website when I ordered it, but by the time it got here, Speck had added it to their product listing on their website. So if you're like me and you love the color teal, you want a case that is both hard and grippy, and you just think that the design of this case looks really awesome and edgy, then I say don't hesitate to purchase. Just be mindful of your screen protectors on the back if you do!

Color Name:Black|Amazon Verified Purchase
Just arrived, and I am VERY pleased. Well made, fits well - tight, but not difficult to remove.
Most importantly, the ribbing on the sides are very helpful and will prevent the phone from slipping from my hands.
I have the Pixel HD case also, well made but slippier, and looser than this one.
Been using it a couple of days now, and considered downgrading my review to 4 stars, as the rubberized edge is a lint/dust magnet. I will still use it though.

Color Name:White/Black|Amazon Verified Purchase
This case is thin and has a more rounded shape than the iPhone 4s's blocky shape. That said, it is a little truer to the thinness of the 4s compared to the case I was previously using. I also like it because it works with the front and back screen protectors I had installed on my phone already. There's absolutely no bubbling up of the screen shield at all.
Pros:
-Thin design
-Grippy (easy to hold)
-All buttons are easy to press
-Doesn't obstruct screen protectors
-Sort of looks like a Stormtrooper!
Cons:
-The ribbed rubber part on the back catches lint (easy to clean out)
-Vibrate switch is a little recessed in the case

Not the actual product
The product is usually 10-15 dollars less than the retail price of the case which is 35. I was ecstatic when I heard that the case was 15 dollars off. Read more
