I like this case, as it seems to be fairly protective but isn't bulky. It's not completely flat in the back (I presume to help with the sound quality it's noted for) but it still fits in purse pocket or jeans.

The color combo and design of the case fits well. The sound really is a big change over the regular speaker. The only down to the case is its thickness. With all the sound redirection it makes for a thick case. Spoils the pretty design of the phone

The Speck - CandyShell Amped Case for iPhone 5s is great. It's made out of a strong plastic that offers good protection and its light. The case is easy to put on and remove. I like the special speaker cut outs that amplify music. Over all, the case is great!

cover is great....not bulky at all. Bought for my father who doesn't like anything flashy but wanted the phone to be protected. Still fits easy in his pocket with the case...highly recommend

Bought this for my daughter and she loves it. The case amplifies the sound and makes it noticeably louder, however I'm not sure it doubles the sound. It offers great protection to her iPhone 5s, but the back of the case is prone to scratches which isn't a big deal. Nicely done Speck!!!

I always like pink! My I pad air cover is bright pink. When I saw it and is on sale and I have reward points to use, I grabbed it!. I can use the camera without taking it from the case unlike my old one. I am really enjoying it. It protects my I phone too since it is a hard case.

I've had many Speck cases in the past. They last about a year but typically break around the charging area. The case is shiny so it does scratch. But at this price $17 vs the $35 I have paid for similar Speck cases it is a good deal.

I got this case on sale, so I was very happy with the price, and the level of protection it provides. I drop my phone all the time and on all types of surfaces and this case protects it every time. I also love the amplified sound it produces.

This shell for the iPhone 5 and 5s is awesome. Not only does it protect the phone, it also makes it louder. The projecting sound is much better then the regular phone speakers.

Fits perfectly and does a nice job of providing a raised edge around the screen. Looks sharp and feels nice in the hands. I keep my phone in my pocket and this one slides in and out easily. Great product especially for the price.

I needed to get a new case and I didn't have a lot of money to spend. I found this one on sale and I'm so happy I got it! It has been a great protective and sound amplification case. I would buy it at full price!

Bought this to use as a protective case for old iPhone 5 that I now use as an iPod while at job sites. Protects and increases the speaker volume by a great amount!

Bought for the wife's new phone and she liked the color. Crazy thing it really does work. Sound noticeably louder. Wish it came with screen protector but for the discounted price no complaints.

This stylish and functional IPhone case is more sleek and far less bulky than my previous other-brand case, and seems to offer the same level of protection

The case is great. It does a good job amplifying audio and it's super light. It is a little thick but over all its worth it if you want to listen to audio without head/ear phones..

This replaced the cumbersome Otter case for my hubby's iPhone. It protects, is not bulky , & he likes it. He found he did not need the extra protection the Otter gives.

Although the case makes a slim phone thicker, for those of us with hearing impairment the added amplification is welcomed

This color combo is great and the sound is amazing. The case is kinda thick though, so it diminishes the design a bit.
