Honestly my friend has the Speck CandyShell and that thing has gone through a beating!. He lets his little nephew play games with his Iphone and that little fellow has dropped his phone many times. The good thing is that the case is really protective. For me, I ma using the Capsule Rebel Serpent. I love that case, makes my Iphone look sexy.

I am actually selling the Monstra, only one day old, with the screen protectors for a cheap price as I dont think I will be using it since i got the Serpent. If anyone is intersted they can pm me for the best price for the 1 day used cover.

But anyway if you are interested in both those cases above, I would suggest the Speck CandyShell cause I have seen first hand how protective that thing can be.

Honestly so far that I have been using the rebel, i dont have a problem with scratches. Yes the spine is prone to it, but it just depends how you take care of your phone. Most of the hardcase covers are prone to scratches. If you put it down just make sure you put it down properly . Well the good thing about the rebel is that if you really like your cover, and the spine is really scratched up to a point you can't take it, just buy a new spine, its pretty cheap

ok, its not scracthes actually, its more of the rebel leaves a spine mark. But usually it is just dirt which can be cleaned off. I noticed that as well. So far, I have been hearing good things about the rebel, you could even check out youtube videos about it .

Just bought the Capsule Rebel M -Red casing. I have used capsule rebel serpent before and never actually liked it.. took it out after a week, but I gave the Rebel M a chance and I am really happy. They have changed the overall feel of the case and it looks steller!!. I have to warn that people have complained about the black version so get the RED or WHITE if you can .

The black version has some problems with the crome.. showing alot.. but even my red has that..but honestly, the casing looks so good that i dont really care as much. I did hear that the white version of the rebel M has no crome showing at all but all in all I love that case
