I feel soooo much more secure with my expensive iPhone SE in an Otterbox drop-proof case. I had an IPhone 4S previously, also in an Otterbox case. That phone was dropped from a height of 5 feet onto a marble floor. The ONLY damage was a crack in the case. And that was covered by Otterbox. I've also dropped on the pavement with no damage to anything. I'm a fan. I'll keep using Otterbox.
....even when it didn't get dropped. Was totally surprised that it cracked up near the camera lens - but I super-glued it & it lasted quite a while. But then the bottom cracked several times down near the headset jack. All I could think is that pulling it in & out of my purse cell pocket & my back pocket just causes a lot of resistance over the year or two I had it. bummer. Ordered just a replacement shell but when it arrived it was defective. The top edge (that covers the top & power button) was laid back at a funky angle - like it had warped in the heat or something.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi twitterhead,
We’re sorry that your Commuter has suffered a couple of cracks over the last year or two. We wish that you would have contacted us as soon as the first crack occurred because we can easily replace damaged cases through our warranty.

I've used otter box on all my iPhone's and they always look like new. Drops are a breeze with no damage to my cell. The case colors are awesome to mix and match.
I bought my case a couple of weeks ago. The color is beautiful however is was really difficult to actually get my phone in to it. I was very frustrated after having to mess with for about 30 minutes to get it on my phone and I don't even think it's on right because it doesn't lay flat when I sit it on the table. After 30 minutes of trying to get it on to my phone, I wasn't taking it off!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The slip cover is ripping on me already, my old 5c case was better quality. It was an otterbox too. Also, I think there should be more colors to choose from.
