Speck Products rocks iPhone and iPad case lineup at CES

By on January 11, 2012 at 6:39pm in CES 2012, Mobile News

Speck Products have always made nice cases, but one of the highlights of the show for us was its awesome iPhone and iPad case showing.

I got a chance to look at all the new CandyShell offerings, from the new CandyShell Grip, aimed at mobile gamers, to the CandyShell Flip, with an intuitive flip-out dock, to the CandyShell Card, which has room for up to 3 credit cards.

They’re all made of high-quality polycarbonate and have two layers, a soft inside silicone for shock absorbing and a hard “candy shell” to protect against drops and breaks. I like that the company is focusing on specific types of users, and its offerings are competitively priced and pretty unique.

The iPad 2 cases are also pretty interesting. The MagFolio Lounge is a new product that hasn’t even been added to Speck’s website, but in addition to featuring a Smart Cover-compatible enclosure, it folds back to fit the contours of your knee, for when you’re trying to make yourself comfortable typing on the couch. The iPad is definitely one of those devices that feels best when kicking back and relaxing, but it’s not designed to stay still while typing.

We’ll be taking a closer look at all the cases in future reviews. Check the break for more pics.

  1. Speck makes great cases. I have the Candyshell for the iPhone 4/4S and the hard exterior/silicone interior design is awesome! Only Otterbox offers more drop protection.

  2. Purchased a Speck case that I couldnt find in store from their site and had it shipped by basic ground which was the cheapest option. I didnt mind paying the extra $7 to get the one that I wanted. What I didnt like was getting a bill from FedEx 4 weeks later for another $20 to get it past the border into Canada. $20 on top of the original $7 fee I already paid, for a case that cost $29.99 *sigh*
