  Well I believe it is all A’s on this gift. Expensive but you pay for what you get. Awesome photos, and clarity when video chatting. He loves it and has earned it with getting A’s and B’s on his report card. I do recommend this phone for teenagers. So far so good. Also got the warranty so no worries for this Grandma!

  Another solid Speck product!

  Full disclosure, my family (wife and two kids, all with phones) tends to migrate directly to Speck cases in general when new phones are purchased, or old cases just have taken a beating and need to be updated, so this wasn’t exactly going off the ranch for us. We have three Speck cases currently in use, and have grown to trust them pretty heavily in regard to protecting our phone investments. This new case was for my daughter, the proud new owner of an iPhone XR, and this case was her second. She initially bought a Speck XR Presidio clear case as she bought a lemon yellow phone and, well, wanted to show off her new lemon yellow phone. Over the first few months, she bought stickers to decorate the case, and pretty soon seeing through it was a useless/moot point. She liked the feel and look of the new XR silicone case, but we were a bit hesitant to leave the known phone protection we knew a Speck case offered (and that we tested thoroughly, as if phone dropping were our jobs). After doing some research, we read that the new XR Presidio Pro was often compared to the look and feel of the silicone case, and we were sold. We got the Carbon Blue (goes great with yellow), and out of the box, you could see that the form factor was a home run. The case definitely has some body to it that provides that same comfort of protection, but without any real noticable bulk. The case architecture allows it to still maintains as slim a profile to the phone as possible, but with protection design features like the raised bezel (which has been a staple of why we have been purchasing Speck for years), a recessed cutout that protect the camera, and a series of soft ridges (or crash zones as they advertise) around the interior perimeter that hold the phone firmly in place while providing a buffer for phone drops. The cutouts around the perimeter for the power button and volume rocker as well as the plug/headphone jack and speaker array at the bottom all allow access without struggle. As I noted at the outset, my daughter really liked the look and feel of the silicone cases on the market, and this model of Speck case pulled that off really well. I was personally anticipating something too slick that I would lose a grip on, or that would jam up when I tried to stuff it into a pocket, but it was exactly the opposite. It felt comfortable to the grip, and slid effortlessly into my jeans. The anti-microbial treatment is a plus, if that type of thing is important to you, but that really hasn’t been an issue for us as a family in the past, we tend to put our phones through a lot for what we spend on them, and good cases like Speck tend to weather that proudly while the phone stays in pristine shape. All the function and aesthetic came as promised and then some (as usual), my only gripe (my daughter’s, actually) is that the case would hold fingerprints too well that were hard to remove. Not a terrible trade-off for all the good we found with it, quite honestly. Speck has done it again, and as long as they continue to deliver on the promise of keeping our investments protected (while looking cool, of course), they will continue to find ardent fans like my family.

  Great Case Just Wish BB Caried The Red Color!

  I bought the iPhone XR for several reasons: Cost, Size, and Color. The last one I realize is probably the least important in the real world, but I love having the Product Red color on my phone. Up until now I have been using Apple's own clear case to show off the color but I have grown to really hate the smooth feel and the unfortunate camera bump that is not 'smoothed out' by the case and so it wobbles on the desk. I have always liked Speck cases and have owned probably 10 different cases over the years for my phones, iPads, and MacBooks. Not a single one has let me down and I don't think the Presidio Pro will either. The reason I didn't get one right away for my XR was that there wasn't anything else out at the time the XR just came out and I really wanted to show off the red color since all my other phones have been black or silver. While this Carbon Black/Eclipse Blue is the best out of the color choices that were available at Best Buy, I would have loved it if they had the black and red (or heart rate red/vermillion red as they call it on their website). If I could have gotten that color, I would be a very happy man because I love the tactile and grippy feel of the Presidio Pro and the lack of any camera bump wobble since the back of the case is flat. All-in-all this is a great case and it will do a great job protecting my investment in my iPhone because at the price these things are going for nowadays, I'm going to be holding on to this one for a while.
