Both my wife and I have used Otterbox cases before and had tested (not intentional) the cases by being dropped on concrete, and they stood up very well. So when we got new IPhone 6 we only looked & bought Otterbox cases. I got the Defender and she got the Commuter. Was disappointed in the instructions for putting on the Commuter screensaver for my wife's IPhone 6. Tried to clean the screen prior to putting on the screensaver then put it on and tried to get out the bubbles but were impossible to get out. She is just dealing with it for now but I keep hearing about the bubbles when she uses it. Not sure how long I can put up with her comments
I love the design of this case and the color variations. I love how slim the case is and the functionality of the overall design. I've dropped it a few times (face up) and it's been just fine... However, the case does not fit snugly around my Iphone6 like it should, and I'm very hesitant about the screen protector that comes with it. It seems like this is a good compromise as far as size and width goes for the case, but I worry that the screen protector lacks drop protection, and the looseness of the case worries me a lot.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Chelsey,
Great to see that the OtterBox Commuter has been taking care of business in terms of drop protection, but let's get you into a warranty replacement to make sure you've got a nice, snug Otter fit that will give you peace of mind!
If you are interested in a bit more protection for the face of your iPhone, we do also offer the OtterBox Alpha Glass - a tempered glass screen protector that pairs great with the Commuter! You can take a closer look right here:
Had a Otter Box on my first iPhone,but when it died,I went out and replaced the phone at the phone store.At the time of purchase they suggested a case for protection of my new phone, but it wasn't a Otter Box.I purchased it anyway and it just didn't have the protection and feel of a Otter Box that I have grown to love.After 2 months of dealing with it's feel I ordered up my Otter Box for my new phone and I couldn't be happier.Just like the good old days. Thanks Otter Box.
iphone 6s Commuter case. Really nice case fits in pocket not bulky and has the dust covers which i think is a must have when carrying an iphone in your pocket. Comes with a screen protector but i used a glass screen protector instead.
I have purchased a few otter boxes and have always had issues with the design wearing off quickly, but this one cracked behind the volume buttons within a week. Not thrilled.

Thank you to all the friendly otters who worked hard to fill my order in such a timely manner! My new iPhone couldn't be happier, & the fact that you're in my home state of CO makes doing business with you even sweeter!
I bought this case roughly a month ago, and it's great! It fits in my pocket, and has a good grip. It protects my phone against bumps and drops that happen frequently with me. I used to be nervous to take my phone on scene with me as I'm a first responder (firefighter and medic) but this case does a great job of protecting it against bumps and drops!
