Phone is invincible

I've been using the Commuter for about a half decade now and I'll never go with anything else. The Otterbox Symmetry looks a bit better and the Defender is a bit more sturdy, but no phone case on the market provides the combination of style and protection like the Commuter does. I drop my phone a lot and have never once panicked over whether it was okay or not. Couldn't imagine using a phone without it.
When I take my phone case off, my 3 year old phone looks like it's in brand new condition.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The case has nice rubber liner with a hard plastic shell which is easy to assemble, but does not include tips on how to remove when I have to swap simm cards.
The screen protector is a pain to install without leaving some air bubbles.
A good case, but not great like my otter box defender.

Hi Paul,
Thanks for your feedback! We’re sorry that this Commuter case is being a bit difficult to remove and that the screen protector was a challenge to install. The best way to remove this case is to start with the hard outer shell and then proceed to the silicone inner layer. If you have any questions or if you need assistance with the screen protector please do not hesitate to give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269. We are happy to help!

I love the sturdiness of the case and I love the color (light pink). The buttons take a little extra effort to press but overall its a good case.

Too much money for a product that gave me no different than a MUCH cheaper product would have done.
Not a good fit. Buttons rarely work on first try. On and off button forget it if you do not have nails. Yes, I ordered correct size.

Colors a little off, screen has bubbles.
on January 13, 2017
Posted by: Izzy
I recently got this phone case and I love it! Although it comes with a film that you put on the open glass, when you first put it on and smooth it out, it takes forever, after about 3 weeks all the air bubbles got out which can be annoying if your watching a video or playing games. Also its really sticky, but a week of use will be good. Overall it covers all of the edges and the ports, the volume and power buttons are always stiff with a new case. I got the shell color in Bahama Blue and the picture on the computer makes it look light blue, when in reality it looks a little green mint color but still blue. The slip color cover I got was Whetstone Blue, it looks a little darkish blue on the screen, but it is stone cold gray. The colors match really well though and I would recommend it!

I had the Defender case for a while and found it very difficult to remove the plastic case around the phone. So I switched to the Commuter case. It is definitely easier to remove this case.
I have 2 problems with this case:
1. The power cover and earphone jack cover at the bottom of this case do not close properly and are not flush with the case when attempting to close them (see picture). On my Defender case, these covers were flush and closed properly.
2. The button on the top right of the case used on my iPhone to close the screen is very hard to push. Again, the Defender case I had was not like this and it was easy to push this button.
In summary, I don't like these 2 aspects of the case. I am disappointed with this case and probably won't buy another Otter product.
Sincerely,
Kathy Bridgers
