Navy blue and frost. I feel like those two, my Apple leather case and my candyshell grip should last me awhile... maybe. ;)

Did you check out as a guest? I accidentally did and now it says I can't view order details. Do they give you a tracking number at least?

Nice colors!

If you provided an e-mail during checkout, you should receive tracking. I did.
 
Why isn't the Griffin Survivor Core a popular case.


I have it and love it initially. Very thin and lightweight and can still see the back (see thru back). And drop rated for 6 feet

Until I dropped it off my 3-4 feet kitchen counter. It shattered my iPhone 6 plus screen. Actually the Zagg glass screen protector. Which I'm so glad I had on. The actual screen was fine

I promptly removed the survivor core and went with another case. Right now I'm alternating between the Spigen slim armor and New Trent Trentium 6L

Screen protector for the win.
Seems the phone fell directly on the screen. Perhaps it's not the case, but how it fell?
 
Am I the only obsessed with buying cases?

Yeah it fell on face. But when someone advertises 6 feet drop rated I didn't know it's only from certain angles! Lol

Directly from Amazon site about it

My understanding no case company stipulates their case provides protection from direct drops to the screen.
I believe companies refer to drops no the corners of a case.

Yeah you're probably right. Guess why they sell screen protectors too lol
 
Apple leather case, Candyshell Grip and soon two zoogue cases within a month of having the phone. Is that bad? :eek:
 
The grip is my way to go. I have the white and black grip, great case

I've been reading your positive feedback of this case. I'm interested in picking one up.

Couple of questions for you. Does the CandyShell Grip lay completely flat, when you lay the phone on it's back? No movement? Is it easy to get in and out of the case?

Anyway you can post up some pics of your white and black case? Thanks.

Mine is "curved" on the back. I can spin the phone on it back on a flat table. Sounds like this is a common problem on these CandyShell Grip cases for at least a generation or older Speck CandyShell Grip iPhone cases from some review comments.

Mine is easy enough to get the phone in or out, but it still requires some effort if that makes any sense. That said, the phone stays really securely in the case and won't slip out under normal use.

This is my favorite case, but recently I've gone back to my Spigen Air Cushion just because that one is much slimmer and lighter, but not so flimsy. I did order a Ringke Fusion clear case cause of the sale, and the buttons are much easier to press than my Spigen one (when I tested on my coworker's).

I'm also tempted to try one Zoogue case just cause of the mostly positive reviews I've seen and the sale.

It actually spins on its back? What a bummer. I really wanted to try this case, but not sure if it's not going to stay put. Does this bother you at all or is the case so good you can overlook it?

Someone on Amazon asked this question and the person responded it laid flat?

Thanks for your feedback!

Personally it doesn't bother me at all. Mine's not warped to the point that it'll freely spin if I lightly touch it. Mine is just slightly warped that it doesn't lay completely flat. Parts of the rubber strips still would touch the table so stops the spinning quickly. Normally, even with the slight curve, my phone doesn't slip on the table. I place my phone face down half of the time (just my habit), and the front lip is completely flat on mine.

One suggestion is you could try going to a physical store to open the package and find one that's the flattest and buy that very one. I remember reading a negative review a while ago where they contacted Speck and the replacement one is still a bit curved too.

Thanks for suggestions and great information!

Speck's website has a 50% off sale going on now, so $19.97 shipped for this case is very appealing. I just might pick one up, because what's another case added to my ever burgeoning collection. :D

So I just laid mine on the floor and no spin. The grip lines kept it stationary. Unless of course I am misunderstanding what you are saying.

Overall I love the case. Tight fit to the phone, good protection and not a lot of added weight and size.

I appears that the grip version for 6 plus is not included. That's too bad.

The 6 plus was included.

I purchased the CS Grip in white/black for $19.97 shipped. The sale excluded the Best Buy colors. Just the black/slate grey, white/black and river blue/tahoe blue were included. The sale ended at 3:00am EST this morning.

Thanks for checking that and your feedback. I picked up the stormtrooper (reminds me) white/black last night. :D

I couldn't pass up the 50% off sale!

I think it's over. Speck was running it on their website. Big banner at top of page said, 50% off everything. No coupon was needed.

I couldn't sleep last night. I surfed over there at about 2am this morning. I was reading this forum, so most likely reason I visited. Banner said sale ends at 12 midnight PST (3am EST here).

Slick Deals thread did mention it was a 4 hour flash sale.
