Customer Review of Speck IPH-BLK-TS ToughSkin iPhone Case (Black) by Kristen in Florida
Customer Rating 4 of 5
Customer Summary This case saved my marriage. Oh yeah, and my iPhone.
Customer Full Review My iPhone is a week old. One week. One. This is important to remember.

One week old. Today, in fact.

After thoroughly reviewing what feels like every iPhone case available, I purchased the Speck Toughskin. I liked the look, and it appeared as though it had a high "grip factor." Like most silicone cases, it attracts dust. So what?

This morning, the clip proved to be a liability. It was clipped to an inside pocket of my tote bag (probably not in "clip mode" but more likely the clip was in the less secure "stand mode.") Anyway, as I was exiting my SUV my iPhone went flying and landed face down on the pavement - a vertical drop of 3 feet. My heart was quite literally in my throat, wondering how I was going to explain this $400 destruction to my husband.

Imagine my - what? Delight, Amazement...no, RELIEF to discover that my iPhone had suffered NO injuries during this potentially-catastrophic mishap. None - no internal issues, no cosmetic injuries. Nada.

I rated the Toushskin 4 stars. Now, the clip definitely needs improvement. My iPhone likely would not have flown out of my tote bag if it had a more secure clip. Although I am aware that some "operator-error" may have been involved here. But the fact that the Toughskin was able to save my iPhone (and my marriage) from destruction is beyond measure.

Thanks, Speck!
