I wanted to turn my iPhone 5 into a fake 5C, so I bought a Speck Candyshell in white w' black buttons to put on my black iPhone 5.
I'm very pleased with how the Candyshell looks and feels. Button feedback is excellent. The TPU seals a lot better over the phone than my Incipio case, so hopefully less dust will migrate inside.
A few things I have noticed though:
1) It's very difficult to uninstall the Candyshell. I was able to take it off, but I was fearful of breaking the phone or snapping the thin parts of the case. Luckily nothing broke.
2). The TPU border around the display is a bit of a dust magnet. Incipio's TPU is a bit harder and seem to not have dust ever cling to its surface.
3) Loose strands of TPU where it borders the polycarbonate shell. Easy to trim off, but looks a bit rough out of the box.
I feel like I have a new phone!
