I like the color but I thought it had more protection than it has.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hey there,
It’s so good to hear that you like the color of your case, but we're sorry that it doesn't seem to measure up to the OtterBox protective level that you're used to. We test our cases extensively to earn our Certified Drop+ Protection rating, which means 24 tests and over 238 hours of testing to ensure that your device is safe with us. However, if you are still looking for a case that feels more protective, we would recommend our Defender case, which is built with extra layers to provide additional security. Please check out the link below to see if the Defender case would work better for you, and give us a call at 1-855-688-7269 with any additional questions!
I have the Commuter case and love it. This is my second one I wore out the first one and Otter Box stood behind it 100%! I will never go to any other name brand case! I am Otter Box for life. Long live the OTTER!
I rebought for my new phone because my other phone was underwater in a lake for about 15 minutes and when we fished it out, it was dinging with a text message - never missed a beat. Will always be my cover of choice.
