When you want the look and feel of a hard case and the protection of a soft case...choose the sweet third option: Speck"s CandyShell! It combines both hard shell and soft rubbery protection in a one-piece flexible Galaxy Note case. The sleek, hard outer shell protects against impacts, plus lets you slide this Speck Candyshell for Galaxy Note case in and out of pockets easily. The rubbery lining absorbs shock and also extends to the raised screen edges, which protect your touchscreen if it falls face-first, and gives it no-slip stability when you place it face down. The two-layered protection also makes for some sweet two-toned color options.
