Hole for earphone jack is too small. IPhone as well as Skull Candy jacks do not fit. I had to cut out the hole on the shell in order to accommodate the jack.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Satty,
That is strange that the earphone jack was too small on this Commuter case for the iPhone headphones. Although we cannot guarantee that all 3rd party accessories will be compatible, the Apple headphones should fit without issue. We certainly want to get more details so that we can get to the bottom of this mystery.
When you have a moment, please give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269 and we will be more than happy to assist in any way that we can!
This is the second shell after the original. I rarely drop my phone, but when I have the Otter Box shell breaks, primarily around the camera lens.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This is my second commuter case. My iPhone 6s is two years old and has suffered several drops. My first commuter case cracked after two years but saved my phone! That’s why I replaced it with the same case. I really like the slim style and how it slips easily into a purse or pocket. It has all the features I want in a case including great colors.
I have had my protective case for about a month. I like that it is fairly lightweight. I also liked that I could customize the color of the front and back pieces to get just the combo I wanted!
Being able to buy just the part (hard plastic holder) & not a complete 2 piece case saved me money. However, because of lack of clarity on the website, I wasn’t aware of this until I was ready to return it & reorder. After calling with some questions, I realized I could keep & use what I ordered. Website needs to be clarified to indicate clearly that Commuter case is really two separate pieces. & that you can order individually .
I needed a case that protected it from the frequent drops my phones seem to be subjected to. I can say that after three drops in less than a week, this case has protected my phone from damage. This won't protect it from water damage, so I still have to pay attention.
hard shell wrapped around a squishy inside piece in a light weight and quite thin form factor. I've used the Commuter on my iPhone 4s and now on my iPhone 6 and I am amazed at the drops it saves me from. Unless you need it to be waterproof, IMHO, the commuter is the iPhone case of choice.
