Hey,

In a few weeks I am going to buy a iPhone 4 or 4S.
I was looking at some cases and I saw the Speck FabShell and Fitted.
They look very good, but I saw some negative reviews...
The reviews said the fabric on the back got loose and frey.
Any experience with one of these cases here?
I would like to hear if your opinions and maybe see some pictures if yours! :)

EDIT:
I also like the CandyShell Satin, but people are saying the rubberised layer is peeling of...
Any experiences with that one here?

Sorry for my bad English...

Thomas

I just edited the main post, maybe some people that have the Speck CandyShell Satin? :)
 
Had the black satin. It peeled like crazy.

I promptly returned it. Maybe they've worked it out by now?
 
Haha. Funny you should ask...

Hello my name is Jonathan...I have this disease as well :(

Haha. Seriously, it drives my absolutely crazy. Here are the cases I've tried thus far with my iPhone 5.

-Speck Smartflex View
-Speck Candyshell Satin
-Switcheasy Nude
-Switcheasy Tones
-$5 eBay bumper
-Pad&Quill Pocket Book
-Lifeproof Fre

At this point, I'm just considering buying insurance on the phone and going caseless. Even with insurance though...I don't want to be walking around with a scratched up phone all the time. 1st world problems...I know.
 
Haha. Funny you should ask...

That's why I am asking these questions. ;)
I hope to find the "perfect case" for me...

At the moment I like the CandyShell Satin, Pixelskin HD and GeoSkin.
The look of the Candyshell Satin is my favorite, it's a shame the satin finish will peel. :(
