IPhone 5, Speck Candyshell vs Otterbox Defender?

It's Wednesday now, and I'm getting an iPhone 5 on Friday, I've been looking at cases so that when I go to get the phone, I know exactly what case I want to get along with it. I really love the speck candyshell in pool blue/salmon pink as well as the otterbox defender in punk. I wanted to know which case I should get… I always wear skinny jeans, and I like to put my phone in my pocket, would that be a big problem with the otterbox defender? I COULD always put it in my bag if the problem is major, I'd just… Prefer to keep it with me at all times. Could you possibly tell me the pros and cons of each case? And/or recommend another case and/or just tell me which case is better?

Okay otterbox is the way to go because if anything happens to it they send you another one completely free if you go to otterbox.com. An otterbox defender is big for skinny jeans if you want something nice and protective look into an otterbox commuter

Speck All THE WAY! It's more stylish and also it literally provides almost the exact same protection of the Otterbox.

  • Would you get the Otterbox Defender or the Speck Candy Shell? I'm getting the 4s soon and I can't decide which of these two cases to get. Perks of the Otterbox is that it has a built in screen protector, it will protect your iPhone no matter what. But I don't like how it's so bulky. Perks of the Candy Shell is that its way slimmer than the Otterbox, and it's shock absorbent. But I'm not sure if it'll protect the phone just as good as an Otterbox.
  • Which is better otterbox or speck? I have an iphone 4s and i wanted to know which brand is better.i've heard that the speck is just as good as the otterbox but it scratches easily but that doesen't bother me, so which case is better
  • What iPhone 5 case should I get? Otterbox Commuter or Speck Candy Shell? - 1 Can you tell me about PROTECTION SLEEKNESS WHICH ONE YOU WOULD GET COLORS THAT LOOK GOOD WITH THE WHITE ONE AND OTHER STUFF
  • Speck case vs Otterbox vs others for iPhone protection? I'm about to buy a new iPhone 5 and drop my phone occasionally and wanted to know what case would be bes to protect my phone. I like the look of the Speck more but also need to make sure it will keep my phone from breaking. Any thoughts from people who've had either the Otterbox or a Speck case or another one that offered good protection is awesome, thanks!
