My phone remained unharmed after a face down drop. The incision is not too noticeable - it sort-of molded back together over time - but it’s shaken my confidence when I ponder the effects of a more serious impact.ĭespite the delicate leather finish, the Nodus Shell does a great job protecting my iPhone thanks to its six-sided protection which prevents the screen from coming into contact with the ground. The impact from that accident was enough to slice an inch-long laceration into the side of the case. But it survived falls on more than one occasion, including a tumbling collision with my nightstand. I wasn’t convinced it’d be safe to toss my phone to the ground. The slim, polycarbonate core certainly reduces the breadth of your phone, but also leaves a feeling of vulnerability. Even then, the odd creature’s presence feels elegant and endearing.īut the Nodus Shell exterior isn’t completely flawless. You certainly get what you pay for (about $70), and it’s nice that Nodus doesn’t brand their cases with obnoxious markings other than a faded Octopus logo. Overall, there’s a real sense of luxury here. The surface also remains smooth, and my palm still glides across it (which is not always good). The first two do fine, but the latter looks like an accessory James Bond would equip, and I was tired of rocking a standard black case.Įven after a month of use, the Nodus Shell still smells of rich mahogany with a hint of new brogues. from premium vegetable tanned Italian leather and comes in three colors: yellow, ebony black or chestnut brown. I won’t lie - the first temptation to review this case arose from its stunning, sleek appearance, not its functionality. When the opportunity to test out a more compact case arrived, I jumped at the chance.Įnter the Nodus Shell case for the iPhone 6s. While my LifeProof NÜÜD model was practically indestructible, its bulky protective housing was unattractive and proved to be challenging to handle with just one hand. Still scarred from the destruction of my beloved iPhone 5c, I opted to invest in an iPhone 6s case by the highly-regarded LifeProof.
So when I purchased my new Apple device, I decided it would be foolish to ignore the danger of my sweaty, cumbersome hands. See more info and pricing for Speck Presidio Sport.I recently upgraded to the iPhone 6s after my 5c succumbed to the all-too-common screen shatter (it was my fault for temporarily removing my case). But it feels good in your hand and isn't too bulky for a tough case. Nor have I swabbed the case and compared how much bacteria resides on it versus bacteria levels on other cases. I haven't tested the Presidio Sport long enough to see how it holds up over time. So, too, is the addition of Microban antimicrobial technology, which is supposed to "inhibit the growth bacteria that causes stains and odors." This is not the first iPhone case to feature such technology, but it's a first for Speck. Typically, Speck cases have featured harder plastic shells - some of them glossy - so the new finish really is new. But it's basically a tougher version of Apple's Silicone case and has a similar soft-to-the-touch finish that's nice and grippy.

Speck makes a lot of different variations of its Presidio Series cases for iPhones (and Samsung Galaxy phones), but the new Presidio Sport may be the best version yet.Īvailable in a few different color options, it was ostensibly designed for gym rats or people who run with their iPhones.
