Speck - Presidio SPORT Case for Apple® iPhone® X and XS - Black/Poppy Red

Let me start by saying that this case is very protective. My issue with it stems from the peeling that began after only having the case for a little more than two months. I work with phones daily, so I know this is a great brand of cases overall. I'm also very careful with my devices because of what I do. I didn't drop the case or scratch it before noticing that the red rubber coating had begun to peel off. This left a noticable white scar visible. I will reach out to speck for a replacement, but will be switching to another case that is cheaper, looks great, and is more durable for my daily use option.

The rubber has started to peel away from the case. The switch on the side of the phone to silence the phone had been deformed from constantly using it. Which I have to for meetings

I bought two of these cases, one black and the other red. I read all of the bad reviews about the buttons, so I checked the case out at the store before buying it. The case I picked up felt good in my hands and the buttons all worked smoothly and without any issues at all, so I decided to go ahead and buy it with my new phone. A week or so later I noticed that the red case was on sale during Black Friday weekend, so I purchased it as well, but I bought it online. After it arrived in the mail, I noticed that the buttons on it were really hard to push, so I took both cases apart to see what the differences were between them. After removing the black inner inserts on both cases (which was kinda difficult), I noticed that the buttons on the black case had a see through slit along the lower length of the bottom edge of the volume buttons and the sleep button, which freed them up to work properly, but the red case had the buttons molded in solidly without any slits at all. I took an Exacto knife (razor blade) and put a slit under the bottom edge along the length and slightly up both sides of the buttons and created the same see through slit that was on the black case liner, then reinserted the inner liner back into the red case. The buttons on both cases now work flawlessly. The cases are a bit slick though, so I don’t know what Speck means by a sturdy grip because they’re actually kinda slippery. I don’t know why Speck hasn’t resolved the button issues on all of their sport cases. Overall I really do like these cases.

I’ve used a mix of Otterbox and Speck cases through years of iPhone ownership and after trying several cases I went with the Presidio Sport for the excellent soft-touch feel and antimocrobial coating on this case. The fit is amazing, phone feels very protected, but I can still take it out for occasional cleaning without feeling like I’m going to snap the case or break/fling my all-glass phone across the room. Port cover still works a year later, and the rotating knob for the silence switch works every time. The outer coating has worn in places exposing shinier rubber or hard plastic framework underneath, but money well spent to keep my phone pristine through the first year of ownership. Only annoyance was the soft/tacky finish makes it tough to get in and out of deep front pockets - mostly a guy problem and could be a benefit for those who keep their phones in their butt pocket - it will not fall out!

I like this case; I’ve bought two. The first one developed what looks to be a crack in the upper left corner, so when I saw this was on sale, I bought another one just to have as a backup. That being said, I love the feel of the case. It’s not slippery and it’s not too bulky for the protection it offers. I have another case from a competitor and it’s thinner but I use it around the house, and at times when I don’t feel like I’m at risk for dropping the phone. The buttons can be hard to press, so that can be a drawback, but they loosen up over time. Also, I can’t find this version on Speck’s website, so this may be a B.B. exclusive.

Truly is non-slip, has a feel that’s soft to touch. I love the matte black look. No hassle taking on or off phone. Very lightweight for how thick it is. One little thing... I gave four stars because the case makes my volume and power buttons nearly impossible to push. I’m having to press ridiculously hard on them to get them to work. Makes tasks such as screen shotting or adjusting the volume very irritating to do. I finally said forget it and turned on the assitive touch on my phone.

Does as advertised. The main thing I like about this case is the non-slip grip. I’ve had other Speck cases with a more smooth exterior and made it much easier to drop your phone. This case nearly eliminates that problem. It has a beveled edge to protect your screen from flat drops. The corners, after about 6 months, do begin to wear down exposing the inner shell. Not sure if other users have experienced this or from my excessive wear on it. Either way, it is user friendly and will protect your iPhone X from typical drops.

It does what it's supposed to do, it covers my phone and presumably would protect it from some damage. The knob on the side actually prevented me from buying this case sooner but I like it now, it's a lot easier than trying to dig my finger into that tiny hole to flip the switch. It has a rubberized finish of some kind, it offers enough grip to make it difficult to get out of your pocket but not enough to keep it in place on smooth surfaces. It does seem to be wearing well so far though.
