A range of Speck cases is available for the Phone 5. They include colorful updates of the company's line-up and include:

° The CandyShell, which combines two layers of protection in a slim, single-piece case. The exterior guards against impact, and the soft rubbery interior absorbs shock from occasional bumps and drops. A raised bezel keeps the screen safe, and rubberized covers shield buttons.

°The CandyShell Flip is built for docking with a flip-up panel that lets the iPhone slide onto accessories with Lightning connection or 30-pin connection plus Lightning adaptor.

° Made for gamers, texters and butterfingers, the CandyShell Grip combines protection and gripping bands of color and strategically placed ridges to keep thumbs aligned with touchscreen buttons. Like all CandyShells, it has two layers of protection in a single-piece, pop-in construction.

° Like a wallet and iPhone case in one, the SmartFlex Card features a side-loading slot for up to three cards or folded bills.

° Designed for film fans and video chatters, the SmartFlex View transforms the iPhone into a free-standing display. The pull-out stand provides horizontal or vertical viewing and snaps back into place when not in use.

° The FabShell is a fabric-covered case that comes in a variety of colors and patterns. It’s a one-piece case with the durability of a hard shell, including a raised bezel that keeps the screen safe and rubberized covers to shield buttons.

° The PixelSkin grips iPhones and hands with a lightweight, no-slip rubbery layer of pixel-perfect protection.

° The PixelSkin HD is also a case designed for "grippyness." Its flexible construction is designed to make it easy to put on and take off.
