Speck Products Fitted Case for iPhone 3G, 3G S Review (Black Herringbone Pinstripe)

Written by reviews on

I’ll review this in two parts, the looks and the functionality. The case looks great, and the pinstripe fabric is truly a unique look for the iPhone. With that said it’s quite bulky and adds considerable heft to my iPhone, although since it’s such a slim phone to begin with it really doesn’t bother me overall.

As for the build quality, I had my first drop in the house after having the case for a day. The two halves attach together in 3 places, on the sides and at the top. The top clip is very small piece of plastic, maybe 2mm wide, although there is room for a much wider clip. This immediately shattered when I dropped the phone, and the case exploded, leaving my iPhone and the two halves of the case on the ground. I’m worried what will happen if I drop it on a more dangerous surface outside. Now the case doesn’t fit as securely because it’s only attached on the sides, and I can’t see how in testing they couldn’t determine that piece would snap off really easily. I think the attachment between the two halves should be a lot more secure so it just doesn’t come apart when dropped … I mean, isn’t the point that it protects the phone when it’s dropped?

Good effort speck, but if I didn’t love the way this looked so much I’d have a new case on there already.
