Speck Products Presidio Grip Case for iPhone XS/iPhone X, Black/Black

I wasn't sure about this, I'd had the Speck Candyshell Grip previously and loved it, but saw some complaints in other reviews about this newer series (Presidio) being made of a material that was not as "rubbery" (higher durometer) as the Candyshell Grip. Since I liked the Candyshell Grip so much this was a negative in my mind, and I almost ordered a Candyshell Grip for my new iPhone X instead of the Presidio.Glad I didn't. The Presidio is plenty grippy, and the area between the ridges has a matte finish, so will almost surely be less prone to scratches than the glossy, hard plastic of the Candyshell Grip. If that's important to you.But the Presidio also offers additional protection for the phone. It's been tested (and you can find YouTube videos to back this up) at drops of 10', which is kinda way up there. Watching an iPhone 7+ drop from 10' onto a concrete sidewalk without breaking, that's impressive. The Candyshell Grip does not offer as much protection. The YouTuber I watched who did the drop test did manage to break the phone in a 10' drop, so it's not a guarantee that your phone will survive this. The phone survived an edge hit, but broke on a subsequent drop when it hit nearly fully face-down (parallel to the ground). But hey, the fact that it survived ANY 10' drops onto concrete, I'm sold.Case fits perfectly, feels great, plenty grippy, Still slim enough to easily slip into pocket, and has a grippy raised bezel so you can lay the phone face-down on a desk or whatever and the phone doesn't slide around. And unlike my experience with Candyshell Grips, the back is dead flat (at least on mine), whereas the Candyshells didn't seems to sit flat when put down on their backs on a flat surface.All in all, great case, very pleased.

I needed a grippy and easy to hold phone case. Otherwise I tend to drop them. This case fit the bill. The texture on the case is raised (rather than the new style with it indented). I got a black one. But I’ve had other colors. It fits snuggly on the phone and won’t fall off. It could be more durable, but usually lasts 2 years. I’m on my third for this phone (yes my phone is 6 years old now.). Highly recommend, worth the money.

great case, super grippy, all buttons work, has a nice ridge to protect screen when upside down

I've had this case for about 4 months. It's cute and sturdy. The ridges on the sides and back are nice for having a tighter grip. I've dropped my phone more than a few times now and haven't had any damage to my phone and very minimal damage to the case. My only complaint is that the case is tight and hard to get off if you need to.

I bought this for my boyfriend who destroys every phone case he gets because he is a diesel mechanic, so his phone is always getting covered in oil, grease, and dirt. So it’s held up great for his so far

I had purchased the Lifeproof Frë case before this one. It was okay but I wasn’t the happiest with it because I didn’t feel like I had the iPhone X. The pictures I was taking were blurry, you didn’t see the general outline/sleekness of the phone and stuff kept getting underneath the screen protector. So I ordered this one and I’m SUPER happy I did. I put a piece of tempered glass on the screen and a pop socket on the back of the case! Super super happy with this purchase! It seems durable, it’s light weight, the color and feel of it has acceded my expectations! I can’t say enough good things.

I'm very picky about cases for my phone, but I love this case for many reasons..1) It looks sleek2) The grip makes it easy to hold, but it also isn't too grippy that I can't get it out of my pocket3) I hardly ever drop it because of the grip, but the times I have there is no damage that has been done to the phone4) Buttons are very easy to press5) The case goes a tiny bit over the front screen so that your screen will never touch the surface it's laying onThis case has gone through just about everything with me and I'm just about to buy a new one soon because the rubber is just starting to peel back a bit. With that being said, I've had this case for over a year now so it's bound to happen at some point. I will definitely be purchasing this case again soon!

**Update**I have used this case very often since I bought it about 6 months ago (about 80% of the time). I've decided I should update my review since first purchasing. Though the case is still very attractive, smart looking, and resistant to scratches, the bumper lip is beginning to peel and it has faded quite a bit in color. The rubber is not as weak as the last Speck case I owned, but it has become noticeable and something to consider before purchasing. I've decided to keep the case, but ordered the candyshell version to see if it fairs any better. I will also be using a Pop Socket with it to see if that helps keep the case new looking and well-functioning.**original review**I really like this case!! I can tell it is well-made and an improved model since the iphone 7's Speck Presido Grip case. I had the Presido for my iphone 7 and not long after purchasing (maybe a week) the rubber/silicon began to peel off at the lip of the case. I was disappointed because I expected higher quality from Speck, but I don't think the same will happen with this case. It is sturdy, tough, and does add some weight to the beautiful phone, but not as much as the Otterbox Symmetry case I bought. I will most likely end up using this case the most out of the two I have purchased. I prefer this case because it is lighter, sleeker, and seems to add about the same level of protection. The grip included is very apparent. It is not slippery at all- something I avoid in my search for the perfect case. I like that the back is also matte and not shiny due to past experience with Speck cases proving how easily they scratch. Overall, I plan to use this case for a long time and hope it protects my phone as much as I am expecting it to.
