As part of the Android Central Community Review, I got the chance to review the Speck Presidio GRIP case for the LG G6. The case is advertised to give you superior protection and is designed to withstand the impact of up to 10 feet. I have been using this case for a few weeks now and below is my review of the Speck Presidio GRIP case for the LG G6.
The first thing you notice as you hold the case is how flexible and durable the material of the case is. Speck has done a great job in putting the durable polycarbonate layer along with the shock absorbing material, called Impactium, on the sides together to provide the much-needed protection for your G6. According to Speck, this Impactium design is 52% more shock absorbent than standard TPU cases.
While Speck advertises this as a slim design, it does add quite a bit of thickness to the phone, especially on the sides where it is designed to absorb impact. Considering that, I would say it is certainly slimmer than hard protective cases. As I used my phone with the case, I also felt it added extra weight as it felt heavier than normal.
The next thing you notice as you put your phone in the case is the strong grip it provides. The raised rubber edges along the sides, which extend almost to the entire back, will make sure the phone stays in your hands no matter what you are doing and avoid accidental slips. This is one of the best grips I have used since the Cover-up Woodback Explorer Case.
These high raised ridges not only help in providing a no-slip layer but also play an important part in the protection as they are designed to absorb impact and disperse shock.
The case provides perfect cutouts for the ports at the bottom. I did not find any issues using the charging cable or to the sound coming out of the speakers.
The raised cutouts for the camera and the fingerprint sensor at the back are very good. They provide good protection to the camera and the fingerprint sensor when you put your phone down. The raised fingerprint sensor cutout also makes it easier to locate if you have trouble with it.
In the front, however, there is little to no protection for the screen. It lacks the usual high raised lips that you find in many other cases that keep the phone's display a few millimeters off the surface when you put your phone to rest face down. This is the biggest drawback of this case and probably the deciding factor if you need such protection for your G6. Speck does advertise that the case features a patented raised bezel screen protection but I am unable to see that with almost no raised lips around.
Overall, the case performs well and if you are looking for that case with perfect grip and superior protection along the edges, then the Speck Presidio GRIP is a great choice for your G6.
You can purchase the case directly from Speck or Amazon and is available in the following colors:
