    Fits phone very well. The analog jack and power connector tabs are a bit stiff but will loosen up with time. Otherwise a worthwhile protection investment for your smartphone. IMO, Otterbox is the best at this.

    Otterbox has always been great, maybe not in the looks department but that's not why you buy otterbox. You buy otterbox for the basically bombproof case that would get you through the apocalypse

    Associate showed me bigger and smaller, and this one is just right for my Note 9. Learned quickly that the flexible door over the charging port can interfere with the charging connection. Hold open while connecting works! A bit pricey.

    Purchased a few weeks ago after my previous phone was stolen over Thanksgiving. Got the new Note9 and love this case. Sturdy but not bulky, doesn't hamper functions of the phone.

    I'm sure this case would offer great protection but it's too bulky for my preference. OtterBox seems over-priced anymore. Switched to a spigen tough armor which is much less bulky.

      Hey CarlB,

      We apologize that this Commuter series seemed a little too cumbersome for your comfort level! We slim down our case designs as much as we can without sacrificing any protective layers, but in the end, the security of your device takes priority.

      We completely understand your decision to go down a different path based on personal preferences, and we sincerely hope that this experience does not prevent you from considering our protective options in the future. If you have any further questions or comments, please don't hesitate to call our awesome Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll gladly dive in to help out!

      Cheers,

    Love otterbox cases. Always handles my phones well when dropped, never any damage. I like how this box for the galaxy note 9 has rubber plugs for charging and auxiliary ports.

    I've used otterbox cases almost exclusively since 2014; they are reliable, well-fit and sturdy. One flaw, the flip-back protectors for the Samsung Note C-port and Aux port are stiff. I've cut them off my last two cases.

      Hey Perryx462,

      Although we're glad to hear that the Commuter is keeping your device safe, we apologize that it is having trouble connecting with your wireless charger! This is definitely odd, since that case tested to be compatible with most wireless chargers. We would recommend making sure that the device and the charger are aligning properly, since misalignment can result in a faulty connection. If this doesn't do the trick, please feel free to call our Otter experts at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll be thrilled to help out!

      Hey Jeepman,

      It's awesome to hear that this Commuter series is working out pretty well for you! We apologize that the case exterior seems to be a little too sleek, and if you're looking for a unit that is more resistant, we would suggest taking a look at the Defender case. The Defender has an outer rubber layer, which makes it easier to grip. Feel free to check it out by following the link below, and call our friendly Otters at 1-855-688-7269 with any questions that might pop up!

    Not as expected

    I have a Note 3 with this style case on it since new. The case is still holding up and never had a problem with it. I upgraded to the Note 9, which I am not happy with, but this new Otterbox case is not as good. The lower right corner where the Pen goes in, is very flimsy and bends. This section of the case is already pulling away from my phone. The sections that cover the buttons are very soft and also pull away to easy from the sides of the case, which leads me to believe that it will not protect my $1,000 phone. It is also difficult to remove the pen.

      Hey jim3000gt,

      We're sorry to hear that you've had some trouble accessing the pen and the rubber isn't holding as tightly anymore! Our engineers worked hard to ensure that the Commuter would not only provide superior protection but it would allow for a seamless experience with the Galaxy Note9's many features and functions. This is why we’re confident that a brand-new replacement will set this right again! Please feel welcome to give us a call at 1-855-688-7269, and our handy Otters will get this fixed up!

      Happy holidays,
      OtterBox Customer Service Team OtterBox

    I'm using this case on a Galaxy Note 9. The quality of the case is great but it falls short with this phone because it makes it difficult to release the stylus on my phone. You have to force your finger down into the corner to press on the stylus. Thankfully I have small fingers or it would be even more difficult. That design flaw was enough to cause a 5 star rating to drop to two. Too bad because otherwise it is a good case, though pricey at $50.

      Hi Russ,

      We're sorry to hear that you seem to be having trouble accessing your stylus with the Commuter series! That particular case was specifically engineered to provide full device functionality, so that stylus should work seamlessly with the design. Our Otter experts are wondering if misalignment might be causing a struggle, and would love to take a closer look. Please feel welcome to give them a call at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll gladly do what they can to troubleshoot this!
