    Case is VERY tight around the phone. So tight you can’t use any of the buttons. Time for an upgrade

      Hi Kkwilmath5,

      We completely understand your apprehension based on price, but we have full confidence that the cost is well worth the maximum protection, outstanding customer service and the amazing one-year limited warranty you get.

      Speaking of the warranty, we honestly try to keep it as simple as possible. All we ask for is some basic data (contact info, case style and what happened) and a $4.99 shipping and handling fee. Once we collect that we are happy to send out a brand new part or case.

      If you ever have any OtterBox questions please do not hesitate to give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269. We are happy to help!

      Happy Holidays,
      OtterBox Customer Service Team otterbox

    If you are using the battery charger sold with the iPhone 5, there isn't a problem. However, if you need to use the charger adapter sold that allows you to use previous iPhone chargers, it will not fit into the bottom of the case and to use it, you have to take the phone out of the case, which is a pain.

    The otterbox brand has a reputation for being a durable yet stylish case. The case I purchased proved otherwise as it cracked on the bottom left corner next to the headphone jack after a minor 2 foot fall from my hand. I only had the case for 1 month. I will not trust otterbox to protect my new iPhone 5S. I will no longer purchase from otterbox.

    I have always used the Otter for my iPhones but since upgrading to latest iphone I have not been pleased with selection of otter to fit my needs. Either their cumbersome & take away from the sleekness of the phone or the design hinders use of the phone.

    My 2 year old was able to break the bottom corner of this phone case off after dropping it only one time onto our wood floors and she is under 3 feet tall. It is very nice looking case and fits perfectly, but doesn't hold up to a toddler and a wood floor.

      Hi Slmh,

      We are sorry that this Commuter did not survive your 2 year old’s wood floor drop test. As long as your iPhone is okay we will consider this a win as we can easily replace the damaged case. Simply give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269, and we will be more than happy to get a new warranty replacement set up!

    Great protection, less bulk

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I love this case. I'm one that needs the protection of an Otterbox but learned to hate the bulk of the defender series. In addition, I much prefer having the hard plastic on the outside rather than the silicon and I also like the fact that there is no built-in screen protector. I guess I'll add that the hard plastic can be a bit slippery but it's no big deal. I think Otterboxes can be expensive but their protection and the soundness of mind that comes with having your phone in an Otterbox can't be beat.
