Speck SPK-A0821 Review by Rex Kullmann
This case is my favorite. This is the revised version that has a larger opening for the camera so that the flash doesn't bounce off the edge of the case and spoil the picture.
This is a one piece case, the silicone and hard shell are molded together. To protect your iPhone, Just press it into the case. It fits snugly and feels secure and solid. The silence switch is a little harder to reach. (For me that's a good thing.) And all the other switches feel pretty much the same. Not nearly as rubbery as you'd think. The front glass is protected by a raised rubber ridge all the way around. The connector opening is nice and large. There is no silly cut out to display the Apple logo on the back of the phone. I think that's a plus, but that's just my opinion.
This case strikes a balance that I like between protection and usability. There are more impenetrable cases out there that have the silicon layer on the outside, gripping your pocket fabric every time you reach for your phone, and rubber plugs you must hold out of the way whenever you plug in the dock connector or headphones. This case makes me feel like it probably won't be a disaster if I fumble and drop my iPhone on the sidewalk, and that's what I was looking for.
One quibble. The case itself scratches fairly easily. You'll need to carry it in another pocket than the one your keys are in.
Update: The case broke. The very thin part of the case above the connector opening is also where you tend to grab the case when picking the phone from your pocket. The shell layer snapped on one end of that very thin cross member, but the silicone is holding it in place. I still like this case, but be aware this is a vulnerable spot, and don't put pressure on it.
Update to the update: I bought another Speck iPhone 4S case. This case came with instructions for removing the phone, asking users to pry the top out first so the rest of the phone can "angle out easily." I guess I'm not the only one to beak that very thin piece at the bottom! I would add that you should avoid grabbing that very thin part of the case when plucking the phone from your pocket.
BTW, the new Speck Satin cases are extremely attractive in my opinion. The black case with grey silicone is very handsome indeed! Much more sophisticated looking than the candy shell.

Speck SPK-A0821::Description
Never before has the flexibility and protection of a soft rubberized case been combined with the durability and scratch protection of a sleek hard shell in a seamless single-piece design. CandyShell's soft, colorful rubberized interior keeps your iPhone 4S insulated from life's bumps and knocks, while the shiny outer hard shell protects it from scratches and lets you slip it in and out of pockets easily.Founded in 2001, (with cases for the original iPod and the iSport, an iPod fanny pack with blinking lights) Speck has grown to become a worldwide leader in cases and bags for iPhone, MacBook, BlackBerry, iPad and tons of other personal electronic devices. But they're not a monolithic corporate entity: they're gadget geeks. Speck makes the sort of fun, functional, stylish cases that they’d want protecting their own gear—or, for that matter, their kids' and grandparents' gear.From concept to design to finished product, Speck puts their hearts, smarts, and guts into everything they do. Their downtown Palo Alto, California headquarters is often messy, always bustling, and filled with a crew of dedicated (dare we say obsessed) folks who really know their stuff. About a quarter of the company is in the product development group, and 100% of their products are designed and quality-tested in-house.One-of-a-kind design; seamless hard shell case with soft, rubberized interior lining.
