That's the point of a case--to take the wear and tear, in place of your phone taking it. What's next, a case for your case?

If I pay $40 for a case, I don't want it to wear down in the first few weeks of owning it. I want to put a premium case on a premium phone and something that will last is what I'm saying. We all know what the point of cases are.
I'm into week 2 with my phone, and the case looks great. No hint of scratches at all. I had the Candyshell case previously and it was still in great shape after a year of use. I don't think this Presidio case will be any worse a year from now.
This case retails for $45. That's not cheap for some rubber and plastic, so I'd expect it to wear better. I noticed I can abrade the rubber on this case just by rubbing my fingers on it, it starts to look frayed. I tried the same thing on my Candyshell grip for the note 5, and that rubber doesn't budge. All I know is my Presidio looks significantly worse after three days of use than my Note 5 Candyshell grip looks after months of use. Maybe I got a dud, I don't know.
Yeah I'm thinking it won't scratch but these rubber grips have always been a problem for me in the past with these grip cases. I hope it does last though because this is the best case I have so far and I have a bunch.
good point
its weird says get three accessories, and 20% off but i got 20% off from one item
gonna give it a try, couldnt hurt

I bought the Speck Presidio Grip at Best Buy, and while I really like it, there is one thing I found annoying.
When I put the phone down face-up on flat surfaces it wobbles, badly. I'm not usually super picky, but it's just so bad considering I spent over $40 on the case. Does anyone else with this case have this issue? I have a Jet Black iPhone if that makes any difference.
It does kinda look like the case itself has a bend to it when it's not on the phone.

Anyone have the case long term now for a few weeks and can discuss the way the rubber is wearing?
my black case wobbles, but my grey doesnt. i ordered another black to swap out, hopefully that doesnt wobble too.
Yes, mine wobbles when you touch the bottom right corner gently. I can live with it. Its a nice case.
yeah mine actually does too, but i wouldnt have noticed if not for testing
pecking at the screen, i do not notice.
not a concern (for me)
Like I said it's not a big deal I just noticed it and thought it was a bit annoying. I still really like the case though.

i too accepted the wobble at first. but once the grey case came in without the wobble, its been driving me crazy haha.
Yeah the rubber on mine is wearing off. I'm using the phone naked right now. I'm probably going to get an Apple leather case instead.
