    Case is protective while thin enough for easy pants pocket access. Attractive design with very secure gripping. Button covers are supple affording easy button operation. An overall winner!

    Great all-around phone case

    I am very happy with this phone case. I really like the grippy ridges. They make the phone easy to hold, and keep it from sliding on sloped surfaces. The case is protective without being too bulky. I used to have an Otterbox Defender case, which was great, but I decided I didn't need quite that much protection with this new phone (Galaxy Note 5). I never used the Defender case holster. I usually carry my phone in my pocket. And I don't tend to drop it very much. So basically, it's good protection that's grippy and not too bulky.

    I have always bought Speck cases for my cell phones. This one is just as expected. My Note 5 doesn't feel too heavy or bulky. It protects it nicely. My only complaint is Speck hasn't made any new colors available for this particular phone.

    Great Case To Protect The Phone.

    When I purchase a phone case I look for protective features. This one has rubber corners, rubber grips on the sides and back. So when I saw it I knew it was what I need to protect my new phone when it drops, tries to slide away, and the best, those times it just flies out of your hand while walking. Four months now and not a ding or scratch on my phone anywhere.

    I've had this phone less than a month, but so far, I really like it. It's easy to use and customize. It's pretty large, but it's not as heavy as it seems like it would be. I'm a little disappointed that it doesn't have an easily removable back or the option to add a micro-SD card, but honestly I didn't use up the on-board memory of my last phone so I probably won't on this one, either. It takes great photos and video, and so far works pretty fast. Favorite phone so far.

    I love this little case. It is manly and yet stylish. The case has very nice gripping on the edge and back. With the cost of these phones today and the new slick and slippery surfaces this is a no-brainer investment. Getting this case on Black Friday for $16 was a huge bonus.

    I have had other Speck cases, this one is equally awesome. Offers excellent protection (I must have dropped my S4 on the concrete floor 20 times - it still works) does not interfere with the use of the phone and I like the way it looks and feels

    Originally I didn't like the color because I didn't think it looked good with the phone. But over time it looked pretty nice and the protect was great. I dropped the phone getting out of the car and not a scratch. I really like the case and it isn't as bulky as your other cases. It fit nicely in your pocket.

    This is my fourth candy shell to fit the different phones I have had. It is my go to product. Not too bulky, love the grip and have not ever had any damage from drops. Easy to remove yet rugged and nice looking.

    The Speck Candy Shell Grip Case was recommended by the sales person at Best Buy. He thought it would be easier for me to hold onto while I got used to the larger size of my new phone. It definitely is easy to grip. I only rated it 4 stars because I think it adds quite a bit of weight to the phone.

    Best case I've bought for the Note 5 yet

    I've had my Galaxy Note 5 for just over 4 months and this is still my go to case. I have purchased 2 other cases on Amazon when I find a good deal but this is still my default phone case. The grip on the sides make it easy to pull out of my pocket. The grips on the back hold it in place when I prop my phone up against something in order to watch netflix/hulu. The hard exterior of the case has performed wonderfully as I have dropped my phone a few times when retrieving it from my pocket. Overall I have very impressed with the Speck Candy Shell phone case. I know several people who have this same case for their iPhones and they are very happy with them as well. Well worth the money

    I wanted a case for protection, the salesman had this on his phone and he recommended it. It's think and easy to grip and the black and white is easy to spot. I feel my phone is protected.

    This is a great case, that I would highly recommend. It's a nice looking drsign, doesn't slip out of your hand and is very sturdy. I just wish it came in more colors.

    The selection of Note 5 cases in our local Best Buy were limited. I chose this case due to it's simple appearance and price. It is holding up well. I like the rubber gripping on the sides and back. Case has a tough feel to it.

    Doesn't add a lot of bulk. Nice textured grip on the back & around the sides,without being too much of a sticky grip, so it doesn't get caught in your pants pocket. Also has enough of a lip to help protect glass front of phone.
