Our phones are always one of the things we pick up and make sure we have before heading out the door. They are usually the most expensive item we have with us daily. But how many of us drop our phone, or knock it on the floor, I know this is something I am guilty of. Which is why finding a phone cover to protect your phone is important. This is why I have teamed up with Speck to review their covers and offer you the chance to own your own protective cover.
Who are Speck?
Speck have been creating award-winning cases since 2001. The cases are designed to make an impact and to protect your products from smartphones tablets, laptops and watches. The cases offer a balance of slim lines and a military-grade protection.
Speck Cases
I was sent two cases to review which I will talk about below. As we have iPhones these are what I have reviewed. They do cases for all makes of phones
PRESIDIO CLEAR + GLITTER
I received the Clear and Gold Glitter. It has an ultra-slim design and superior impact protection. This is a premium clear glitter iPhone case.
With a hard exterior layer that disperses force and an interior layer that absorbs and disperses shock away from your device. The case has been drop tested from 8 feet multiple times under laboratory conditions. This means that the case will hold up and protect your phone if you accidentally drop it.
The Presidio case is their slimmest line of cases so far, adding 20% less bulk to your phone than previous Candy Shell cases, by removing excess material without sacrificing protection. Plus the cases come with a lifetime limited warranty.
PRESIDIO SHOW
The Presido Show comes with a 10 foot drop tested protection and a clear design that shows of the beauty of your phone, giving you the best of both worlds.
The clear case features a shock barrier using Speck’s innovative new shock-suppression technology that protects your device without adding unnecessary bulk. With a dynamic shock-absorbing material that absorbs 50% more shock from impact than traditional TPE rubber.
My Opinion
I have been trying these phones now, they are very slim build as opposed to my normal phone case which is quite old now. I have also dropped my phone, this was due to trying to carry too much and hands too full. So have put the case to the test. My phone was undamaged and the case remained looking brand new. Very impressed.
The Giveaway
If you would like to try Speck cases, I have a great giveaway where 3 lucky winners can win 2 *phone cases for their phone. To enter see below

No,I have never left home without my phone-yet.
I rarely leave home without my phone. Its my music for my 30 minute drive to work so it’s essential!
I have, but generally only take it incase of breakdown, usually switched off!
I used to but I always have it with me now
Yes I have! I was running late and in a bit of a panic. I didn’t realise that I didn’t have my phone with me until I arrived at work. A whole 9 hours of no music, no notifications or something to keep my busy whilst I was at lunch. Admittedly I could have biked home to get it, but I was feeling rather lazy by the time the afternoon came.
I have before by accident. Usually keep it on me just incase my daughter needs to get hold of me or my work calls in an emergency.
Never unless I’ve deliberately planned to. I’d be completely lost without it!
Nope, never leave home without it. I
more times than I can remember, poor husband gets sick of having to drive back to get it
I have yes!
No I have not it’s always on Me
I never leave the house without my phone. It even comes out with me when I am just sitting in the garden.
Yes please
yes plenty times
Yes but only once before and I was very stressed out
Yes, many times.
To be honest, leaving my home without my phone is so common an occurrence that I just always forget it, only leave to go shop anyway, so not missed much lol!!
Yep I gave forgotten it loads of times and it always makes me uneasy.
I have left home without my phone previously but it was a very regretful experience and I would prefer not to recall it.
All the time – we don’t have mobile reception in the valley and the phones are only for use when we leave home – so quite often forget to take it.
Few times, not really attached to it
Once or Twice Only ! It’s a real pain as I rely on it for so much !
Only once 🙈 I’m completely attached to it..
Yes, I frequently forget my phone and keys!
no i always have my phone on me
Yes, I once broke down and I had forgotten to take my phone so I always remember it now
I have left home without my phone but have always returned to get it.
My phone is with me at all times, it really is my lifeline
Constantly when I first got it,
I’ve left home without my phone although I feel more vulnerable without it as I can’t contact someone as easily.
I try not too, but once or twice
If I’m only popping to the local shop I often leave my phone behind. I wouldn’t if I knew I was going to be longer than an hour or so though
Yes, I have often left home without my phone 🙂
I drop my phone a lot 🙁
so this would come in handy!

Never!
If I have forgotten it – I always go back and get it.

Never
Yes, I’ve left my phone at home before
All the time, very frustating when you’re meeting someone and can’t confirm!
Yes i have forgotten it a couple of times!
oh yes, a few times. Each time I am completely lost as my phone contains my life!
I have forgotten my phone a few times when going to work

Yes but not intentionally
Yes when i go shopping i like to have a bit of peace.
Very occasionally. But i do feel a bit funny without it!
I once accidentally pu tmy phone in my sons school bag, kept ringing it to try to find it. Eventually the school secretary rang me on my land line to let me know where it was.
I do accidentally, very rarely! It always feels like I’m missing an arm or something as I’m so used to having it with me
Once I did and it was horrible lol,
I didn’t realise how much I relied on it until then
Yes, I have forgotten it before now and it’s a nuisance. It’s okay if we stay together as a family but on a shopping trip we split up and without a phone it’s hard to contact each other.
I have as sometimes i ike to be daring and go back to oldskool methods just like the good ol days.
Occasionally. No one rings me when I have it around but you can guarantee if I leave it, I miss a few calls!
no I always take my phone with me
I remember leaving home when taking my phone with me would have meant a long, long wire…!!!
Definitely sometimes!
Only once in my life – and never again!
sometimes
Yes, I hate leaving my phone at home. Even worse leaving it at work and having to wait until the next day to get it.
Always Got My 📱
Pre lockdown, never… I now do leave it behind almost everytime, not sure if its going to last but i am enjoying it right now!
I actually tend to leave mine at home sometimes deliberately, so I can’t be botheres! Lol
These cases look great, perfect as I’m buying my son an iPhone for his 13th birthday in a few weeks 🙂
Only by accident! I feel like I’ve forgotten my left arm when I do!
Forgot a few times and felt a bit lost without it

No, I always make sure I have it with me
I cant remember the last time i left home without my phone-must have been years ago-it is glued to my hand!!
I definitely feel stressed if I’m going to be out for some time and I don’t have my phone with me.
I have and it is a nightmare.

No, never! If I’m going out without the kids I will always stick my earphones in before leaving so no chance of forgetting it.
My case is disintegrating but can’t the replacement ones I like don’t seem to be available for an iPhone 6 🙁
