    Thought otterboxes were supposed to be ultra strong but I dropped my phone and the bottom covers broke off and the corner of the case chipped. Returned it.

      Dear Carme,

      We apologize that this Commuter series broke on you, and that you felt your best option would be to return the product. Our cases are not necessarily designed to be indestructible so much as they are intended to absorb the brunt of any impacts that might otherwise compromise your device. Had you contacted us, we would have been more than happy to set you up with a warranty replacement. However, we also certainly respect your decision, and we hope that this experience does not turn you away from OtterBox for good. If you have any future questions or concerns, please feel free to call our friendly representatives at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll always be happy to help!

    I had to use sand paper on the edges to rough up the side grip surfaces. The phone slipped out of my hands several times within the first few days of purchase.

    Put in on, then took it off and one of the thinner pieces (on the bottom between two ports) broke. Returned with no problems, then bought a different brand on-line that is sturdier and cheaper.

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

    Have had many Otterbox Defender cases in the past and have always been satisfied. The case for the s7 is not one of them. The built in screen protector does not sit flush against the screen, which affects the screen sensitivity. Tapping and dragging are nearly impossible.

    Have always swore by OtterBox cases but here lately I am not a big fan. The otter box seems to not allow the phone to cool properly and cause heat issue I believe. Have switched to a tech 21 case and phone seems a lot cooler.

    Great Fit

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

    The case offers the protection you're looking for. It feels solid (some might say too heavy, but not me) in your hand and offers better control for one hand operation then the naked phone. Wireless charging is still accessible as is Samsung Pay. I didn't give it 5 stars because I don't like the 3.5mm & charging port covers. They are hard to manipulate when access is needed to those areas. However, they do fit snugly to protect from dust & water (although the phone is water proof). This is my first Otter Box and overall I'm impressed.

    Nicely designed case.

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

    Have had Otter Box on my phones for years. Always reliable. Gives a much better grip on the phone. The slimmer and slicker phone exteriors get the easier they are to drop so a case is a good investment. This one looks great on the phone, feels good in your hand and fits perfectly. The end caps for the jacks are a nice extra and, no, I don't see the charger plug being damaged by the cap. All in all a nice case that should protect your phone well.

      Hi there,

      We’re truly sorry that this Commuter case is giving you some trouble with wireless charging. All OtterBox series for the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge devices have been tested for wireless charging and are compatible with the following charging pads:

      • Samsung Wireless Charging Pad
      • Verizon Qi Wireless Charging Pad
      • New Samsung Wireless Charging Pad

      If you have one of the above charging pads you should not have any problems charging your Galaxy S7 with the Commuter installed. Please feel free to give our tech-savvy Otters a call at 1-855-419-7417, and will be happy to assist in any way that we can.
