A:Answer Case is quite durable, but is only back/side protection. Even so, it has edge and corner shock absorption, and is very rugged. Paired mine with a Zagg HD Glass+ screen protector, and am SUPER pleased with the OB Symmetry. Clear, shows off your product instead of hiding it, and is durable.
As an example/testimony, I had phone out at McD’s and sitting at a high top table, hand got bumped, phone dropped from roughly 4 feet, onto bottom left corner. Took the bump, not even a scratch on the OB. **WINNER!!**
In all honesty, I am not familiar with Speck cases enough to compare. But this is a rugged case that will withstand accidents and oopsies.
Get it if you have the chance.
