    I bought one the other day from ebay.ie. It was a Dublin seller and it cost 20e. Should be here in a day or two. Do you want the name of the seller?

    Ya i think i know the user. I've been touch with him and he hopes to have them in this week..............fingers crossed as i really want one from day one as i want to keep it clean and safe.

    Cool hope he has the white one in stock because thats the one I ordered on Friday night. Want it for Friday too.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,197 ✭✭✭elvis jones


    I want the key lime. Looks sweet and the screen cover is cool as well.

    Ye Swingking from here on Boards has a good review of the candy shell on his Youtube channel. You should check it out.

    Friday cant come soon enough now.

    Amazon.co.uk have them but you can't get them delivered to ireland. I'm heading over UK myself next wk anyway and got it sent to a friends house. That isn't ideal obviously for everyone.
    You can buy them direct from the Speck website they are too expensive and delivery is $16 :eek:

    Looks like ebay is best bet!

    Wonder will they ever sell them here, they are really nice and from swingking's review i think they are one of the best cases available. I hate silicone :pac::pac:

    Mine should be here in the next day or so and I will try it on a mates 3G and give my impressions. What colour did you go for w@LL3gurl?

    oh lord Frankmagnet, i went for the light grey/watermelon (ordered in work today and was kind of rushing/sneaking so as not to be online too much - been online *way* too much since i decided to get iPhone)

    anyway came home this evenin and was lookin at reviews on YT and...Panic Stations - the thing looks PINK!!!!!!!!!!
    :eek::eek:
    maybe it was just the light on the films though, i dont mind once it isn't real pinky- it doesnt look pink on Specks' website.
    i could always return it but i kind of wanted to have it for my (hopefully) new iphone and amazon have already dispatched. i might just get another one off ebay, sure if i've spent this much already! :D

    Ebay is 10 euro cheaper as well!

    i think i need some sort of therapy though - i am spending way too much time thinking about what colour to get. i am now torn between dark grey/lime or the black/yellow.

    Hopefully i will like it when i see it - Maybe it looks cool, some reviewers said mango or orange. oh i need a lie down!!! :(

    I can promise you that the candyshell case is not pink (otherwise I would not be using it :D)

    It's a darkish red colour with a white outer shell.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 690 ✭✭✭Frankmagnet


    Thank god for that. Red and white was what I was hoping for. If a pink and white one arrived at my door tomorrow I would have a heart attack :)

    Re: Swingking

    Have you tried the Switcheasy rebel cases? I was looking at these but I seen some reviews that said they sagged at the bottom and the rubber got worn very quickly.

    oh no frank & swingking - its this one i am doing all the worrying about....
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Speck-CandyShell-Case-iPhone-Light/dp/B001MBJZF2/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1245702993&sr=1-12

    yours is the white/cranberry so you are grand - its most def not pink. as for me, i will have hide on the back seat of the bus with my case methinx! :o

    its only now i am after seeing that it actually does say 'grey and pink' on the Amazon page - i will now look in the mirror and say "what a plonker!!!" - on the Speck website though it definitely looked more watermelon. GRRR!

    Hi creggy, this is the link i was looking at:

    http://shop.ebay.ie:80/items/__speck-candy-shell_W0QQLHQ5fAvailToZ99QQ_armZ1QQ_armmZ63QQ_ruuZhttpQ3aQ2fQ2fshopQ2eebayQ2eieQ2fitemsQ2fQ5fQ5fspeckQ2dcandyQ2dshellQ5fW0Q51Q51Q5farrQ5A1Q51Q51Q5ftrksidQ5Ap3907Q512em38Q512el1312QQ_trksidZp3907Q2em38Q2el1312?_rdc=1

    the ones at the top of the list seem to be from a place called 'one stop cell shop' - and they have all the colours. Good price!
    i just did a search on ebay homepage for 'speck candy shell'

    And it looks like watermelon on this site! Nice enough in the pic. ok i will go and make tea and stop being a psycho over the candy shell. They are so nice though!! and i am too excited over being a soon-to-be-iPhone owner! :D
