Speck Presidio the hull designed for the fall

Packaging

The shell is put into a box in good quality packaging.By raising the pane on the front, it is possible to directly view the design of the protection for the iPhone X.

First handle

When the packaging shell is removed, a feeling of robustness is immediately felt.Not only is the protection beautiful, but its touch is super pleasant.We can see inside the hull of the ribs which actually correspond to the double protective layer and the anti -shock border called "impactium".

Difficult implementation

All this protection system leads to discomfort for the implementation of the shell on the iPhone X.Indeed, when you try to put the shell, you have to force a little to succeed in putting your smartphone in place.To remove it, it's the same challenge, but more complicated ... The shell is so rigid, that you are almost afraid to fold your smartphone to remove it.As a general rule, when you put protection it is to keep it daily ... Despite everything, this downside can annoy the fashionistas of the smartphone hull or even the photographers who switch between protective shell and shell to clip lenses.

Beautiful and elegant 360 protection, but ...

The shell perfectly encompasses the smartphone and leaves 4 open zones for the connection of a Lightning cable, the vibrating mode and the 2 outputs for the speakers.The iPhone goal and screen also benefit from a protective border of a few millimeters to avoid contact with the ground or even small stones.In addition, volume and locking buttons work wonderfully, unlike conventional shells that sometimes make these commands unusable.

At the touch of the touch, it's soft, but ... it's a real soap!This is the big black point of this shell.Speck did a remarkable job on design and protection in the event of a fall, on the other hand the maintenance of the smartphone has become complicated.Despite the grain on the shell, this is not enough to guarantee a good grip.It's a shame, because the work provided to this protection is treated.

At the editorial staff we are seduced by the model, on the other hand we advise (if you have the possibility) to buy a popsckets to be sure that you no longer drop your iPhone X (test available here).

The Presidio shell is available in green (stock break), black and metallic gray from our mobilefun partner at a price of 28.99 €.

Note

The Speck Presidio shell for the iPhone X is today one of the best protections in its category.It has an elegant design, a pleasant touch and above all exemplary protection.Its only big defect is in terms of its ergonomics.Despite simple access to the iPhone X controls, the Savonnette effect does not forgive!Indeed, the absence of texture does not guarantee a good grip ... So certainly the shell can withstand a fall of 3 meters ... On the other hand if tomorrow your smartphone slides you with the hands at the top of a bridge, or amountain, you left for long hours of research.
