    I recently bought an iPhone 6s Plus and I was needing a case, so I bought the otterbox commuter from Best Buy because I had the otterbox commuter on my last phone and it worked fine. This case, however, is not fine. After you finally get the rubber piece to fit into the hard piece, there are gaps all around where the rubber and plastic should meet. My friend got the same exact case for her iPhone 6s and it works perfectly with no gaps. I'm still debating whether i should return it. But, I mean, for forty dollars, the case shouldn't have this problem.

    Buying the Apple iPhone 6 Plus I noticed I had to get a phone case because I drop my phone a lot. I was trying to find the Otter Box Defender case at a Best Buy store in Jersey City, NJ but I noticed there were none in stock. I figured I would take a chance with the Otter Box Commuter case. The first thing I noticed was the case was not easy to put on the phone. The second thing I noticed was that it was hard to grip the case. It was a bit slippery to hold in my hand. I do not think I would get this case again.

    When saw the picture of this case, I thought the hole that let the Apple logo to show, was covered, like its bigger brother the Otterbox Defender. Sadly it wasn't. I owned a case with a similar hole in the past, for an iPhone 3GS, once I removed the case I saw that the circle left a nasty mark around the logo, mainle because of dust and my keys action. I wish this case was covered, because otherwise has good protection

    I was extremely disappointed with the quality of the Otter Box. I bought it for I Phone 6+ and there aren't very many choices. This Commuter case is only good for temporary purposes. I'm utilizing this one till there are better options for supreme protection for 6+. Disappointed with color choices for defender cases at this time since there are only 4. Simply put, too expensive and not enough protection.

    if I wanted something bulky I would I have gotten the lifeproof at least that would protect it and also be thinner... I tried it but ended up returning it and getting the lifeproof case instead.

      Hi MayBmay,

      We’re sorry that the Commuter is a bit too bulky for you. It is a delicate balance creating a case that isn’t too big but will still protect your phone. We understand you have moved on but we do appreciate your feedback!

      Sincerely,

      Hey Jct232,

      We like to think that the OtterBox Commuter will do far more than most cases on the market, but the proof will obviously be in the protection it provides for your awesome iPhone! If you ever have any questions or concerns about the case, feel free to give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269, and we’ll always be happy to help.

      Cheers,

    Good functionality but lacks options such as a kick stand to keep it in the upright position . Its the type of product you purchase then realize what is missing. It will be replaced very soon. It's really a shame as this manufacture has an excellent reputation.

    Bought as a gift. This particular Otter Box is not worth the money. A $10.00 case could do the same job. However, I have always used Otterbox Defender Series and will continue to because it has protected my phone through a lot of accidental drops on hard surfaces and in liquids. Not a scratch on my phone in 2 years.

    The screen protector is not built in. Just get the defender for a few bucks more. It will be worth it.

      Hi mom29,

      We’re sorry if there was any confusion on the differences between the Commuter and the Defender. Best Buy is pretty good about returns/exchanges if the screen protector on the Commuter is a deal breaker. If you have any questions please feel free to give our helpful Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269.

      Hi Kitkat21,

      Hi Amorginos,

      That is strange that the Commuter case did not fit together correctly as our cases are designed to fit seamlessly with their device. We are sorry that this happened and we wish that you would have reached out to us first. We truly hope that this one unusual experience does not discourage you from our products in the future. If you ever have any OtterBox questions please do not hesitate to give our helpful Otters a call at 1-855-419-7417!

Following the link below, you'll see that the Defender has extra layers of protection to help you feel more confident about your phone's safety. If you have any additional questions, please ring up our representatives at 1-855-688-7269!
