[Review] Speck CandyShell Grip for Nokia Lumia 1020

Speck are known in the industry for creating first class Cases for Mobile Phones and Laptops alike. Here we got the opportunity to test out the GRIP series on the Nokia Lumia 1020.

The case comes in a simple yet stylish package which can be easily opened by a tab on the back. Once you have the product out, just slip the phone into the case and that's literally it.

The phone's fitting was perfect in my eyes, it held the phone securely and even gave up a fight getting the phone out, this tells me that the case is built to last and could easily take a bit of abuse. The style of the case really appeals to me personally, with its grippy texture around the back, and large circular cut out for the 1020's camera housing.

I do have a couple of gripes with this case however,the buttons don't feel as tactile as I'd like them to be. The case's rubber insides seem to also sweat the device, causing heat issues with the phone. This can be acheived over a moderate use without using the camera.

You can purchse the Speck Candyshell Grip for £24.99 in White & Yellow. You can also find more Nokia Lumia 1020 Cases at Mobilefun.co.uk.

Most Expensive IPhone Cases

If you go into any electronics or wireless store, most phone cases you'll see will cost around $20, with the highest prices touching about $80. But some people just can't get enough glamour. We thought that an iPhone case costing $80 dollars, such as the LifeProof (waterproof, shockproof, scratchproof) case was extremely expensive, running almost half the price of the newest iPhone model. We were dead wrong.

The cases below fetch prices that range from a bit over $200 to over $300,000. Are they worth it? Maybe to someone who has that kind of cash to burn, but even then, isn’t it just an iPhone case? On the other hand, some serious craftsmanship has gone into some of these cases, and they do look gorgeous. Take a look, and judge for yourself.

Review: SwitchEasy Colors Case for iPhone 4/4S

Today we are going to be taking a look at a very interesting case, made by SwitchEasy. It’s called the “Colors” case designed for the iPhone 4/4S and it is named like that, of course because it comes in several fancy colors. Huge thanks to SwitchEasy for sending me this amazing product out for review. Now, let’s head up to the review.

In the box you’ll find the case itself, two antistatic screen protectors, two headphone jack and two USB import protectors, a microfiber cleaning cloth and user’s manual.

The case is made by rubber, which really makes the phone to feel very nice in the hand. I can easily say that, this case is the best one for using your iPhone as much hours as you want. It’s very soft.  It really has excellent cut-outs and covers many sensitive parts of the iPhone. Also, it comes in several fancy colors which are: Baby blue, baby pink, lilac, mint, stealth, milk, crimson, mican, lime, fuchsia, viola, saffron and turquoise. The one I am using has the turquoise color. For more info concerning the case’s color, visit SwitchEasy’s website.

Installation process is super easy; all you have to do is place the phone in the case and cover all the edges. Un-installation process is also very easy, all you have to do, is  first uninstall the headphone & connector protecting parts (if you have them installed) and then grab one of the edges of the case and take the iPhone out of it.

Now let’s take a look around the case.

All the top part is covered, and the lock button, except the headphone import, which the consumer can install the headphone jack protector if he/she wants to keep it away from dust and scratches.

The bottom part has two large cut-outs for the speaker, microphone and USB import but I will recommend you to also install the connector protector for ultimate protection.

On the front the case covers the whole white area below the screen and it has a plastic “physical” home button, which actually is more functional than the real one. The case has also “lay on the table” design which means that if you leave your iPhone facing the ground the screen will not have any contact with it. For ultimate protection I really recommend you to install one of the screen protectors you are provided with.

Flip it over to the back, you’ll see that it is all covered by the case’s rubber material and it also has a large and deep cut-out for the camera and flash.

 

The left side of the phone is again protected, including the volume control, and it also has a small cut-out for the profile switcher button.

The right side of the case is all covered by the rubber material.

Now let’s take a look at the cases benefits and cons:

Benefits: Comes in many colors, quite protective, fantastic feel in the hand, makes the phone to look even more beautiful than it is, it comes with several accessories and it has a quite good price for its category.

Cons: The only con with that case is that it could be a bit thicker to offer a bit more protection. In case the iPhone fall of your hand and the ground is a road for example, the iPhone will definitely be scratched and possibly it will break.

Overall I give this case a 9.5/10, because it feels excellent in the hand, it protects the iPhone from getting scratched, it also gives to the iPhone a new stylish look and it comes with several extra accessories which offers the customer more protection for his/her device.

iFrogz Luxe Transitions Case Metallic Green Unboxing - iPhone 4S

What is your favorite color? Green? Blue? Now you don't have to make a decision to buy one case! The iFrogz Luxe Transitions case in Metallic Green gives you the best of both worlds (also offered in Pink/Purple). This hard shell case is based off the award winning iFrogz Luxe case but instead of a black bottom piece and colored top you get a gradient color over the entire case. Not to mention the case itself is fantastic. Watch my video for more and stay tuned for a review to come!

ZooGue Social Shell Orange Unboxing (FREE CASE) - iPhone 4S

Whoa, a free iPhone case! That's right! If you have not heard of ZooGue before you're missing out. The company often offers you an iPhone case for free. All you have to do is pay shipping and handling (about $4-$5). They offer many different colors and as you can see I went with the orange version. The great thing about this case is it's simple. A thin yet protecting, light silicon case for your device. It also included a sticker to help make locking the device easier. Is that consideration or what?
