Innocase 2 Surface or Speck Candyshell?

dt808 · 09-18-2009, 01:04 PM

I bought an ifrogz on the day I got my 3GS just to keep it safe for a week(then returned it, ugly as hell lol), I then ordered an innocase 2 surface and got that yesterday.. amazing case! But.. it definitely ate 2 of my screen protectors like candy. So, this one is definitely going to be returned. Now, I've been reading some damn good reviews on the speck candyshell and considering it comes WITH a screen protector, I'm assuming it wont consume it like the innocase 2 surface.

Any suggestions and tips would be appreciated, thank you!

Btw, got my first iphone a week and a half ago and I'm loving it!

I've never owned the innocase so I can't give you any advice on them but I do have 3 of the candyshells and love them. They do add some bulk but add great protection. You can lay the phone face down & the case has some lip so the glass of the phone doesn't touch the surface. It is a little difficult to remove but once you do it a few times it gets easier. I have the purple, white/cranberry, & just received the white/grey color. I prefer the white colors because it shows less scratches. The back of the case does tend to scratch easy(not deep scratches) but its better than the phone getting scratched.

+1 for CandyShell...

Any slider will carry the possibility of interfering with a screen protector, causing bubbles around the edge. Most two-piece and snap-on-type cases avoid this issue because they don't apply as much pressure to the corners.

Dave has a point. The CandyShell is one piece and does not cause any issues with screen protectors in my experience.

Makes sense. I just wish the innocase worked well with a protector. I ordered the candyshell after reading some of the reviews.

Plus.. everyone seems to be pushing "speck candyshell." haha...

Thanks guys. Btw, what case do you use psylichon?

I use an Innocase II and love it.... I would also like to use a screen protector, but alas cannot. I got a knockoff iSkin Solo as well that I really like for the beach or outdoors. Haven't tried it with a protector yet.

Had the Seidio Innocase II since it's release and it's been great! The black matte finish, and on the inside is a nice felt lining that doesn't scratch the back of your phone

I just took the protector off the iphone and I'm still using the seidio innocase 2 and I do love it, even without the protector.

I just asked all my friends with iphones, which is a LOT and they said all their screens were fine, some even still have V1's.. without a screen protector. Most of them just use a case, a bunch without either a case or protector.

I guess I'm gonna try out the candyshell with the screen protector and see how it goes, but I might just keep them both. We'll see... thanks for the input and info guys.

Just keep your phone in a pocket WITHOUT metal objects (keys or change specifically). I have some minute scratches on my 3GS because of ONE evening I kept a key in my left pocket. It is not impervious.
