this case was a replacement for my older otter box case-same model. specifically wanted the same case as it has thoroughly protected my iphone 5s from multiple drops on hard surfaces and from the tiny but destructive hands of my 16 month old nephew. changed up the color for a little something new. great product at an especially good price during holiday sales.
I have only had it a few weeks but love it!! I had a otter box on my iPhone 4 for 3 years & it did a great job! I'm expecting this one will do the same!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought the commuter first for my iPhone 4. It is still in excellent shape to this day! I then upgraded to an iPhone 5 and immediately purchased a commuter for this one. It has delivered time and time again. Fits well and is easy to remove and install the phone. Well designed and not too bulky. I have since purchased one for my daughter's 4s (she cracked her screen because she refused a case) and she loves it. Well done Otterbox! I wouldn't even entertain any other brand!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I went to San Francisco this weekend and I was shell hunting at the beach. I noticed a bigger wave coming in and I started to run away from the water when my phone fell out and landed in the surf. My girlfriend ran for the phone and pulled it up out of the water. I am so glad I had the Otter box case. My phone was fine. There was only a few drops of water on the inside of the case. The Otter Box totally saved my phone from doom! Thanks for a great product.
Pros: Durable, High quality, waterproof
I would recommend this to a friend!

Dissapointing...

Got the defender series for my IPhone 4S and loved it. So disappointing that the 5S version quality is so much worse. I've had the case for only a short time and the rubber parts are already starting to flake off. Also like the other reviews say makes the power button really hard to press. Also the edges on the case are relatively sharp due to poor casting of the plastic. The worse part of the case if the bottom of the case which makes it very difficult to plug in your charger cored. The flaps on the bottom are also garbage from a pure design standpoint deforming from the plugged in cored drive me crazy. Very disappointing after loving the 4S version so much. No searching for a reliable case for my IPhone 5S before all the rubber wears off.
Cons: Low quality, Not durable, sharp edges
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Excellent case with one minor caveat

Excellent protection with a solid feel and it looks great! The inner sheath fit perfectly around the phone and the plastic cover was easy to install. Accordingly, my experience does not reconcile with other reviews regarding the difficulty of installing the cover... ...I'm not sure how there could be a problem.
One area of improvement relates to the screen cover. Variance in the placement (left/right, up/down) was exceedingly small. Also, once aligned it adhered poorly to the screen. I ended up taking it off after two days.
