ridiculous price but a great case
By Miss Print
Let's start by talking about the elephant in the room: This phone case is forty dollars. That is insane. While this case has a lovely graphic (I have the galaxy one) you are paying a good ten dollars more for the privilege of having a cute graphic on your phone with the Speck case.

That said, if you have the coin, this is a great case.

I've always liked the feel of the Speck CandShell cases--they add a nice heft to the phone without a rubberized feel and they don't add a lot of bulk or weight. I feel like my phone is protected but I'm not super bogged down. This case has a nice purple rubber border. I haven't experienced any pilling or dye transfer yet but both have been problems with previous Speck cases when they are in my jeans pockets.

The graphic is gorgeous. It's printed directly on the plastic in some way so the case doesn't have any decals or stickers that will peel or chip. Scratches might be possible after a bad drop but I'm not even sure those would do much damage. Even the Speck name and logo on the back are unobtrusive.

The first day I used this case, my phone fell out of my hands and bounced onto a hardwood floor. But my phone was fine after! So the case works great and it looks great. It's just very, very expensive.

Great graphics, but makes the phone feel bulky
By Julie Kostina
I just received my CandyShell Inked case today after waiting for it to ship for a while when it was on backorder. The graphics are really gorgeous and the case seems very sturdy and durable. I think the graphics will hold up.

However, it does make the phone feel awfully bulky. I understand that it's shock-proof and provides good protection, so I'll keep it, but I probably won't use it every day. The last Speck case I had was the PixelSkin and it was so much thinner and lighter (and also provided great protection for my phone). If you're looking for a low-profile case, you should probably keep looking.

Very protective case for the price of most other high-quality cases...
By CCE
I carry my phone everywhere. I drop my phone. My toddler plays with and drops my phone. I put my phone in my pocket with all manner of things from tissues and napkins to coins. I'm constantly seeking the right case that balances protection with bulk.

This case achieves a great balance! (iPhone 5s) Overall, it's the best case I've had in ages.

First, yes, it's not cheap, but I've spent that same amount on other, name-brand cases and not received nearly as nice or as effective a product.

- Plastic shell with tight rubbery lining - dust and lint actually stay out
- The "points" of the corners (where the phone would hit the ground) have little slices cut out of the plastic so, when dropped, the impact will be dispersed across the softer lining
- The rubbery lining material also forms a tight bezel around the front of the phone, so if you drop the phone face-down, the bezel will take the impact
- The ports are readily available (not blocked or covered) and fit standard rounded cables (I have one lightning cable with a square plastic plug housing instead of an oval one - it doesn't work with this case)
- The buttons are stiff, but easy to get used to
- The mute slider (that slider above the volume buttons) is open rather than under the case (I prefer this)
- The candy shell slides in and out of my pocket easily
- Doesn't add too much bulk or weight to the phone (for me - the previous front-runner for protective cases was the OtterBox Defender)
- I love the graphics on the purple one I got and it doesn't look like every other iPhone on the table
- ETA: I've been using it non-stop for 2 weeks and the rubbery bits aren't discoloring or showing dirt!

This case doesn't offer moisture protection or a screen cover. Moisture protection would have required more bulk but a screen cover would have been nice.

Giddy over Polaroid 300
By Image Maker
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2UN49WH80WFDR I have to admit, electronics and hardware don't excite me but I'd be lying if I told you that I wasn't just a little giddy when United Parcel delivered a package containing the new Polaroid 300 camera.

Earlier this month Polaroid Corporation, with the approval of their spokesperson Lady Ga-Ga, released the pic-300 camera. It takes 10 pictures per roll on business card-sized paper (the film is similar to the old 600 and SX-70 type film.)

Speaking of old-style Polaroid film, in January of this year, Polaroid announced that they will be updating their old-fashioned Polaroid One Step camera (The pic-1000 to be released later this year). The Impossible Project also announced the introduction of a new color film that will fit all Polaroid 600 cameras. No word yet if Polaroid film partner Fuji Film will also release 600 type film.

With limited features and a fixed focus, the Polaroid 300 may not be for everyone but I can tell you that it adds lots of FUN to any party where people can walk away with a smile and a color print in their hand.

All-in-all it is quite a year for instant film photography. Just think...this would be possible without YOU! So, pick up some film and start shooting!

A really pleasant speciality / novelty item
By O. Awad
In the age of digital revolution that metamorphosed photography for ever there is little reason to buy an analog product. A product with a large size and cumbersome function. rather than take hundreds of photos before you think of changing your memory card you are limited to 10 small expensive prints.
So why did I buy it. And how come did I give it five stars. Will here are the reasons;
1. I had realistic expectations for what I was getting into.
2. I love photography in all it's shapes and forms.
3. Again I had realistic expectation.
4. I'm into fun stuff
5. I'm sentimental for the old days.
look at reasons 1 and 3 again. some people buy things with inflated expectations and then get disappointed with what they have.
Honestly the photo quality was way way much better than I expected. The colors are vivid and vibrant and the focus is really sharp. The camera has for simple different settings for light conditions and an automatic flash which did a really good job for foreground lighting. The photos are small but that was a compromise I'm willing to make. They are expensive $1 per print, to me that makes them more precious.
In this day of digital we are so used to click click click with our digital cameras and our cellphones. We take thousands of photos and print literally zeros. The photos we take are free so we don't think twice of click click click. With this Polaroid and $1 per print price tag I enjoyed the click and the "Shake it like a Polaroid picture" and the sharing with others. It is really really fun.
But I have no illusions. And I want you to have none. This is a novelty / speciality item. It will not replace my DSLR or my point and shooter it will compliment them and thus I'm really happy with my purchase and if you buy this camera with a realistic expectations and if you are a sentimental guy/gal you will enjoy it like I am.

The New Classic.
By Laura Terese Henri
I purchased this Camera for my boyfriend James. We both are quite nostalgic for the 70's and 80's and both of us love photography. He himself has quite the eye for framing a picture perfectly, and finding subjects to shoot that are quirky, and beautiful and unconventional. Polaroid's are in essence, exactly that as well.

The new Polaroid PIC-300B is the answer to anyone's prayers who missed the look and feel and fun of those instant photos. We all know how a Polaroid picture looks, it's not crystal clear in the slightest, and it has such a harshness of reality woven into it. By nature it's more contemporary than the newer digital cameras, because you have instant gratification. You cannot zoom, or look at the picture first and then delete or save; you cannot download it onto your PC and fix it. You point and click and there is NO turning back you must accept that picture! It's half the fun of it to see it develop, the other half is having something in your hand. A tangible memento of the moment before.

It's a good looking camera, I loved how the old ones looked, but I like this one as well. It also comes in different colors now; I went for good old black. It's not too heavy, comes with batteries and a strap for the side. The Polaroid PIC-300B is easy to use. Just load the film, then you pop open the lens and that turns on the camera and the first photo that comes out will not be a picture but rather the films protective layer coming off. Then you point and click and the photo comes out the top now! It still makes the same noises as it spits out, and that made me smile. The photos are now business card size , which I didn't know if I would love or not but I DO!!

This camera isn't for someone who wants an everyday camera, this is for special use. Yes, because the film isn't cheap for it, but also because the pictures themselves are meant to be slices of life, not all of life.

I am so happy with this camera, now go and get yourself one!

Perfect!
By Aubrey M Gerth
I love this case! I originally purchased the Marware Origin Cover, but it was a huge disappointment so I returned it and bought this instead. I was hesitant to spend so much on a case, but it's totally worth the price. It's great quality and fits snugly, but it's also light and compact (not at all bulky like I was afraid of). The cover is magnetized so it stays put, and unlike the Marware case the magnetized cover actually puts the Kindle to sleep and wakes it up when you close and open it. The origami design allows the Kindle to stand hands-free either horizontally or vertically, so it's very versatile. I am so happy I bought this case, I would recommend it to anyone.

love this case!
By London Smith
I really debated on this case I have only ever used a book style cover in the past and often propped my Kindle for ease of use. The oragami cover holds my Kindle snuggly. It snapped right in for a perfect fit. The clever design does exactly as it says. No more cramped hands and awkward propping and using 2 hands to type is a nice change. Close the cover your Kindle sleeps. Open the cover your Kindle wakes. The volume control, power and speakers are not compromised. Feels durable very pleased with this purchase.

Great case... couple caveats...
By Robert Foster
Pros:
The color is great, and it fits the Kindle perfectly. The openings are where they are supposed to be and there is no overlap. The material has a nice feel to it, too, and it doesn't really add much to the overall weight of the device. I like the unique origami fold, and it's nice that it can be used for both portrait and landscape. The magnetic seal automatically puts the device to sleep when closed, and automatically wakes when opened, which is great for battery life.

Cons:
I started noticing a week after using this case that the amazon logo makes a slight impression on the screen. I don't have a screen protector on it yet (silly me), so I wonder if that would make a difference. I'll update this review once I get one. Regardless, this is a problem and a gross oversight on Amazon's part. It's supposed to protect the device, not damage it.

Less problematic, but still worth mentioning, is that when the stand is used for portrait orientation, it leans slightly to the side. This is not a huge problem, but for some reason when I bought it I thought it would somehow fold differently depending on the orientation. It only has one fold configuration which essentially works for both orientations, but it seems that it's really more designed for landscape.

Bottom line: This is a great case for the Kindle Fire HD 7" (2013). The color is great, and it fits perfectly. Just make sure you get a screen protector.
