Speck PixelSkin for iPad: Hands-on Review

Speck Products has released some new cases for our iDevices. Among them, I was able to review the PixelSkin for iPad, which has a very unique look to it. As the name states, this rubber case has a gridded texture that feels very comfortable to the touch. It seems to absorb a lot of impact when dropped and it is very light.

The PixelSkin is very easy to take off and put onto your iPad. Like pretty much every other iDevice case sold by any company, it won't fit into a dock (or in this case, the keyboard dock).

The design of the PixelSkin is very smart. It gives you access to the speaker, 30-pin proprietary port, auxiliary port, and screen rotation lock. The other buttons, including the home button are actually covered, but the PixelSkin shows where they are underneath it, so you can easily use them with no issues.

Overall, this case has a very solid, uniform look. It's offered in black, purple, and green. You will want to pick up a screen protector, though, as one is not included with the PixelSkin. Overall, the PixelSkin for iPad is a solid, stylish case that isn't overly expensive at $39.95.
