Speck CandyShell Wrap for the iPhone 6/iPhone 6 Plus
Taking its iconic case to the next level, Speck’s new CandyShell Wrap for the iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus offers a dual-layer design providing complete front and back protection for your handset. Adding just .24 inches of thickness to the phone, the front flip cover uses a rubber hinge that allows for easy one-handed use. It also doesn’t cover up the back camera when folded. When you need it, the locking mechanism keeps the cover latched on tight. Even when the cover is closed, calls will still remain connected.
