      Hey there Haley,

      We're genuinely sorry to hear that your husband's iPhone received such fatal injuries after a tumble in the Commuter series. Truly every effort is put forth in both our engineering and testing processes to ensure that our cases provide the best device protection possible, and we're so bummed that your initial experience did not reflect that commitment. Unfortunately, every device drop is subject to myriad different circumstances, some of which are simply beyond our scope, and we cannot always guarantee that absolutely all exposure to risk is eliminated through the use of our products.

      Although our warranty is not transferable to the Apple device itself, we would still love to get you into a brand-new OtterBox to ease the sting, even if just a little. If this sounds like an option that you might be interested in, please feel welcome to call our friendly Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll be glad to set this up for you!

      Sincerely,
      OtterBox Customer Service Team OtterBox

      Hi there,

      We're so sorry you're not loving this Commuter Series case! This case was designed to slip in and out of your pocket with ease, but we understand that it's not for everyone. If you're looking for a more rubberized case, check out the Defender Series below. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to give us a call at 1-855-688-7269 and we'd love to help!

    The only reason I’m giving this product is one star is because when I received it in the mail and opened the packed the case was already ripped from two sides and was dirty like if someone had used it already. So I ended up having to go to my local Best Buy and getting it exchanged.

      Hi Tally,

      We're so sorry to hear this Commuter case is running into some roadblocks! It definitely sounds like this case was having some misalignment issues. It should be secure but not difficult to use. Not to worry - we'd be more than happy to get you a brand-new case that should be a much better fit. Please feel free to give us a call at 1-855-688-7269 and you'll be enjoying that seamless security before you know it!

    This is the first time I have bought an OtterBox that was not a match for my iPhone. The dual protective case clearly blocks both microphone holes around lightning port. Disappointed.

      Hi JB2019,

      We're so sorry things aren't lining up with this Commuter Series case.

      This is strange because this case was uniquely designed to fit the iPhone 7 Plus/8 Plus seamlessly. Do you possibly have a different model phone? Or were you sent the wrong case? Nonetheless, we would like to learn a little more about your situation, so we can figure out the best way to help. Give us a call at 1-855-688-7269 and we'll dive right in!

      Hey Nick70,

      We apologize that you're having trouble finding the perfect fit with this Commuter series! We're a little puzzled by this, considering that this case is specifically engineered to pair perfectly with both the iPhone 7 Plus and iPhone 8 Plus. Our Otter detectives would love to investigate further, so please feel welcome to call them at 1-855-688-7269. They'll solve this mystery and make sure you get the stellar Otter security that you've been hoping for!

      Hi Alan,

      We're so sorry you're having some technical difficulties with this Commuter Series case. We can't guarantee compatibility with any third-party chargers, but this case should work with most Apple-approved chargers. Please feel free to give us a call at 1-855-688-7269 and we'd love to see what we can do to help.

      Hi, Duke.

      We're sorry to hear about the damage to your screen. While our cases are tough, we're not able to predict every variable. Since we don't manufacture the device, we're not able to extend our warranty to it. That being said, we'd be more than happy to get that case replaced for you. If you give us a call at 1-855-688-7269, our CS Otters can get that warranty claim started for you.

      Hi Shivali,

      We're genuinely sorry to learn that your iPhone screen sustained a fatal crack during a dreadful drop. Truly every effort is put forth with our cases to ensure maximum device protection, but unfortunately, each drop or fall is subject to a number of different dynamics, some of which are beyond our control, and we cannot 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 very much like to send you a new OtterBox so that you can have a fresh start once that phone is repaired. If this sounds like a viable option, please feel welcome to call our friendly representatives at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll be glad to set this up for you!

      Hi Ashley,

      We're truly sorry to hear that your iPhone didn't survive a fatal fall while under the vigilant security of this Commuter series! Our cases go through an extensive amount of testing to ensure maximum device protection, but unfortunately every drop falls prey to a number of different dynamics and variables, some of which are simply beyond our control. In the end, we are unable to guarantee that absolutely all exposure to danger is eliminated through the use of our products.

      While our warranty is unable to extend to the Apple device itself, we would still like to send you a brand-new OtterBox in the event that your current one was also somehow compromised during the incident. If this sounds like an option that you might be interested in, please feel welcome to call our friendly representatives at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll be glad to further assist you with this!
