Anyone know of a good place to get one for a cheaper price for a verizon iphone..
 
does anyone know if i got the ATT one and used it for my verizon iphone, would i still be able to use the vibrate switch? wouldnt it just not line up too well? I found candyshell flips cheap on amazon and wanna just get one and deal with the unallignment
 
I'm pretty sure that Speck didn't change the design for the Verizon iPhone (they have changed it a couple of times with the opening for the camera/flash I believe though). Head on over to their website. They have pictures of how it fits the AT&T and Verizon versions. You'll still be able to use the switch, but it will be wedged at the very bottom of the opening. I didn't like how it looked, so I passed on one, and Speck makes my favorite cases. I think Apple was stupid in moving the switch on the Verizon phone. Whatever the reason, I'm sure they could have kept it where it was. It's a big headache for finding a case.
 
I wouldn't recommend the case... Mine sheds onto my iPhone screen.

The rubber around the display is made weirdly, it falls apart slowly and if you rub against it, little bits of it come off. My display is always covered in gunky stuff now :p

I had that problem with earlier versions but I have never experienced it with the new version...

I have the updated version that doesn't have the LED flash problem. So unless they have 3 or more versions of this thing, I have the latest too

I have the regular candy shell and Flip version. The regular one does that, but the flip doesn't.
 
I've had about 3 replacements for my speck candyshell cause of the flaking. The flaking makes it look horrible. I got tired of getting replacements.
 
I bought one last night. They guy at apple showed me the one before and the one after and I have to say that the newer one with the larger cutout is a lot more durable or at least it fells like it...Here are some pictures

You bought the orange/blue combo at an Apple store? I haven't seen that one yet.

Football season coming up...Go Gators!!!
 
I've had the Candyshell since release day for the vzw iPhone- case is crazy durable. Only downside is the case scratches VERY easily. The entire back of my case is nothing but scratches. But the fact I accidentally dropped my phone two stories down a stairwell and it came out undamaged... I'll never own anything but a Speck.
 
i just went ahead and bought a flip off amazon for 12 bucks shipped and received it today. The ringer switch doesnt line up too well since i have a vzw iphone, but it seems to be a real speck case and not a knock off, anyone know a way to tell for sure?
