Slim case and not bulky like the otter box I was used to. First small drop and my phone shattered on the side. Will go back to the bulky one as this case did not protect at all

Hey there Shell,
We're genuinely sorry to learn that your iPhone took a spill and emerged with some fatal injuries while working with the Commuter series. Truly every effort is put forth in our engineering and testing processes to ensure that our cases provide the best device protection possible, and we're bummed that your most recent experience did not reflect this commitment. Unfortunately, every drop is subject to a number of different dynamics and angles, some of which are beyond our control, and we are unable to guarantee that absolutely all exposure to risk is eliminated through the use of our products.
Although our warranty does not extend to the Apple device itself, we would still very much like to set you up with a brand-new OtterBox in the event that your current one was also somehow compromised during the incident. If this sounds like something that you might be interested in, please don't hesitate to call our reliable representatives at 1-855-688-7269, and they’ll always be ready to help out!
Sincerely, OtterBox Customer Service Team

The case is sturdy but the inside rubber layer gets stained easily. If you get a light color it will stain if put inside a pocket or purse. Buy dark colors.

Hey there Zeta0113,
Uh oh, looks like while that pink rubber silicone was protecting your iPhone, it just couldn't resist picking up a few other colors along the way! We so apologize that this is happening, and our stylish Otters would love to outfit you with a replacement case. Just give them a ring at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll set up a warranty claim right away!

Hey there Gift,
We're genuinely sorry to see that your iPhone emerged from a fall with some damage while under the watchful eye of the Commuter series. We truly put forth every effort to make sure the Commuter meets our high standards of protection, but unfortunately, every drop is subject to a multitude of different variables, some of which are beyond our reach, and we cannot guarantee that absolutely all exposure to risk is eliminated through the use of cases.
While our warranty does not extend to the Apple product itself, we would very much like to send you a brand-new OtterBox in the event that your current one was also somehow compromised. Please feel welcome to call our friendly representatives at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll be glad to further assist you with this!

Hey Melissa,
We can understand how frustrating it would be for the case to become cracked so soon after purchase, but we want to assure you that this is not at all normal for the OtterBox Commuter Series! The case was designed to provide reliable and durable on-the-go protection, which is why this result is quite surprising to us.
We are confident that a brand-new replacement will better meet your expectations and outlast your daily adventures! Please feel welcome to call our handy Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and we'll fix this up!

Hey BigDogg1,
We apologize that this Commuter series style didn't end up working out for you!

After all, the security of your device remains our top priority! We sincerely hope that this experience does not prevent you from considering our protective options in the future, and if you have any additional questions, please feel welcome to call our friendly Otters at 1-855-688-7269.

Minor issues but solid choice for 8 Plus.

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
VERY tight fit for iPhone 8 Plus. Borderline too tight. I had to force areas of the rubber inner case to seat properly. The Apple logo on the back of the 8 Plus is slightly off center. Does not detract from the appearance of the case to me but if you look for it you will notice it. All the buttons work well. Phone feels well protected. Some areas of exposed rubber on the sides to help with grip. I like the way this case feels in my hand. The backside is hard plastic, so face up and my phone slides off of everything. Very secure when face down and then it won't slide at all. Pocket lint and dirt will find its way into the case so it will need to be taken apart and cleaned from time to time.
I dinged it one star for the super tight fit and the Apple logo being off center with the 8 Plus. I like it enough to keep it.

Hi MapkSapp,
We apologize that the plastic on this Commuter series case ended up wearing down in the line of duty! While our products are pretty tough, they are engineered to absorb the brunt of any impacts that might otherwise jeopardize your device, and can sometimes retain damage during the process. Luckily, we have a pretty awesome warranty for this exact reason!
We completely understand that you found an alternate solution, but if you're interested in replacing that protective option, our friendly Otters will be happy to help. Just give them a call at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll set up a warranty claim for you in a matter of minutes!
Kindly, OtterBox Customer Service Team
