In recent months, Speck, one of the leading case makers for mobile phones and tablets, has coalesced its marketing efforts around its signature CandyShell brand, which now includes the freshly released CandyShell Amped, a case that's supposed to double the volume of your iPhone 5 or 5S speakers.
The Amped has no batteries, instead relying on a horn-shaped waveguide carved into the interior of the case. The case traps the sound and redirects it up through the waveguide and out the side of the case (see diagram below). Previous iPhone cases have promised sound amplification through similar techniques, but this is the first case from a known brand to feature it (that I can think of anyway).
As any of us who owns an iPhone knows, its internal speakers leaves something to be desired. People often complain how they can't hear their phone ringing (I keep mine on vibrate for that reason) and it can be hard to hear music and FaceTime (or Skype) calls unless you're in a quite environment.
Enter the Amped. I've been testing it for a couple of days and I generally like it, though it's somewhat pricey at $44.95. For starters, while it's thicker than your standard CandyShell case, it's not too bulky and is very protective.
Being translated, please wait..
