Switcheasy vs Speck vs Macally Case
location: macrumors.com - date: April 5, 2013
I am in the market looking for a back case for the Mini, and was curious if anyone has tried any of the following three cases? Speck Smartshell Macally Protective Case Switcheasy Coverbuddy I like the idea of the Speck case having the metal along the backside of hte case, which is the main attraction for me. The Macally is the case I can find no reviews on; but love how the sound is ported to the front, as well as the smart cover is secured by the case. Switcheasy has always been a great maker of cases, but seem rather generic in regards to no magnetic strip or sound modification. My default is switcheasy, but if anyone has or has tried the Speck or Macally I would appreciate your input. Thanks.

Which case to prevent scratches? (OtterBox vs Speck)
location: macrumors.com - date: February 5, 2013
I have a OtterBox Commuter and a Speck Candyshell for my iPhone 5. My main concern is which one has more of a risk of scratching the phone from dust getting inside, people with the candyshell or the commuter, please comment on the condition of the chamfered edges on your phone. Update: So today I was cleaning a replacement phone that I got about a week ago from the Genius Bar, and I noticed a small dent/chip on the side (not on the chamfer, on the actual side and not more then a mm in size, probably less) however, it is still anodized over, I looked at my case (speck candyshell) and I saw something that is around the same size and in around the same place, but I think it is just a defect in the rubber. My question is, could the case have caused this, or was it out of the box like this but I didn't notice? I've only had it for a week.

Best hybrid case? case-mate pop vs speck candyshell
location: ilounge.com - date: January 24, 2012
So, when I saw the "first look" at the Case-Mate Pop! on iLounge I just had to share my experience with that case as compared to the speck candyshell. ( youtu.be/YB3eGnRoCzU ) In short, I wouldn't recommend it, but I think if casemate tweaked the design a bit to stop it wobbling when on a flat surface it would go along way towards making it more usable. Still leaves the problem that the rubber comes away from the harder plastic and thus decreases the grip that the front lip has around the edges of the phone, which is what holds it inside the case! eek! My old speck doesn't fit the iPhone 4S and I found the Pop! to be disappointing, but I still like hybrid cases made of two materials. The Incipio Silicrylic, Delta, Invert and Step come to mind, and plenty more that I haven't heard of I'm sure. I like the speck Candyshell, but it is a bit slippy and that is the one area where the Pop! has the advantage. I'm thinking about getting the candyshell gri

2G Case - iSkin Vibes Vs. Speck Candyshell?
location: ilounge.com - date: January 14, 2010
My GF is looking for a pink/purple case for her iPod Touch 2G. Reading reviews it seems that the iSkin Vibes and Speck Candyshell are the top two per iLounge's holiday guide. It seems that the Speck gets dirty after a week and is hard to clean. I've also read that it can crack pretty easily from a 3ft fall even. On the other hand with the iSkin, it is difficult to connect the bottom connector, you have to align it up perfectly for it to plug in. What case should I order? I actually bought her an InvisibleShield but we havn't opened it yet. We are thinking that the cases mentioned above would better protect it. Prices are around $23 for both online. Appreciate any feedback. Thanks! Edit: Also considering the iFrogz Luxe.

Speck vs eXo case and add on idea
location: ilounge.com - date: July 20, 2003
I've had my 30G ipod for about 3 weeks now and I'm trying to decide upon a case. Right now I've narrowed it down to the Speck and the eXo clear cases. I think the Speck case is a more durable material and I like the fact that it covers the dock port. Does anyone know if the eXo case covers this port somehow? I hate carrying around Apple's litte plastic cover tab. The eXo case comes with the screen proctector which is also a plus. I have an iSkin keyboard protector for my Powerbook and it is pretty thin but does do its job pretty well. I'm just wondering if the case for the iPod is the same material and of the same thinkness. If so, I would have to say no to the eXo skin. I would think after multiple times bending the case around the iPod to access the dock it would start to tear. I have a ActiveArmor case (which is pretty much the same concept) for my Handspring Visor that has started to do this after swapping/replacing batteries. If I were

Devicewear Ridge vs Speck Fit Folio
location: macrumors.com - date: April 14, 2012
I have both of these cases, target got the FitFolio in today so ipicked one up. I really like the quality of the Speck, it is slimmer than the Devicewear, also the mags work and I like that it has a snap close. It will also do the alternative typing position like the Devicewear. My two cents are they are both great cases, but I prefer the Speck. The back of the speck is open like before but honestly I see as a non issue.

Bumper vs. Speck CandyShell
location: apple.com - date: July 4, 2010
I will be purchasing my first iPhone ever in the coming weeks and have narrowed down my case choices to these two. I'm not that rough on phones, but have heard of the iPhone 4 issues with overheating and was concerned a full case might contribute to that. On the other hand though, seeing pictures of these smashed iPhones online is rather disconcerting as well..Any thoughts or forewarnings about either of these products would be appreciated.Thanks for your time!

Switcheasy NUMBERS vs Odyssey vs Tones for stealth black 5S
location: macrumors.com - date: October 23, 2013
So, as a big fan of Switcheasy Eclipse and Glitz in the 4/4S generation, I'm planning to buy yet another dual material protective Switcheasy case for my yet-to-buy space gray 5S. The Tones is already a classic from last year but there's something weird (to me) about the mute switch cutout. Also, the "black" one apparently isn't black enough for a "stealth black" 5S build. (a user here had to dye it to make it blacker) The NUMBERS is endorsed by a couple of sites (the wirecutter, ilounge, gadgetmac) but I can't find any opinion from actual users (maybe a few on amazon) or youtube reviews (weirdly). I find the non-descript unibody design to be a plus, but I'm afraid that the lack of a rigid second material could result in it being slightly too loose. As for the Odyssey for 5/5S, there's literally no acknowledgement of its exi

I still have a 3G and am pretty unhappy with the audio quality as compared to playing the same lame encoded mp3's in my Mac Book Pro. Can anyone _qualified_ to provide more details elaborate? I found the following information which implies the sound quality has at least changed. iPhone 4 Cirrus Logic 338S0589 http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/iPhone-4-Teardown/3130/3 iPhone 3Gs ???? iPhone 3G Wolfson WM6180C http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/iPhone-3G-Teardown/600/3

Handbrake: iPad vs AppleTV vs AppleTV 2 vs AppleTV 3 presettings
location: macrumors.com - date: November 10, 2012
I have an AppleTV, an iPad 2, and the new iPad ("4") with Retina Display. Using Handbrake, I have been creating 4 different versions of the DVD movie I am ripping via the presets: iPad AppleTV AppleTV 2 AppleTV 3 Is there any advantage to having all 4 versions of a movie? Or do you think I should stop creating every AppleTV version? Since I have the original AppleTV, will I run into any backwards compatibility issues if I discontinue ripping from one of the AppleTV presets mentioned above? I figure that the iPad version at least saves me some space on my iPads... Thank you in advance.

Screens vs. iTeleport vs. Logmein
location: imore.com - date: March 6, 2012
I've been working on a Screens vs. iTeleport vs. Logmein shootout review for a while now, but they're all such complex apps I wanted to try and get some more opinions on them. I find Screens incredibly easy to use. iTeleport has great mouse level control. Logmein is just kinda in the middle for me. If you use any of them, or if you've tried any or all of them, which do you like better and why?
