Customers are saying

Customers find value in the Commuter Series Hard Shell case's excellent protection and snug fit for their Apple iPhone 13 mini and iPhone 12 mini. Many appreciate its ease of use and the secure grip it provides, while some find the price point to be a bit high. Positive feedback also highlights the case's lightweight design and convenient charging port cover. However, the lack of a screen protector is a common point of concern for some users.

    Good case material and fit, and I like the color but it isn’t really good for wireless charging. I wish I had returned it

      We're sorry to hear you're having some trouble keeping your iPhone amped up wireless while using the Commuter Series case to help keep it safe from harm. This model has actually been tested and confirmed compatible with Qi wireless technology, though results can vary depending on what charger is being used. Are you going with one that incorporates Apple's MagSafe technology? For devices with that functionality, such chargers will likely provide the greatest performance.

      Feel free to give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269 if we can be of any further assistance and we'll always be happy to chat.

    Robust case but charging is a problem

    This cover on my iPhone 13 is extremely sensitive on a wireless charger. Slightest movement could mean a no charge position. I do like the case robustness but the charging sensitivity significantly impacts my rating.

      Hi, Phil!

      We're sorry to hear that you were having those issues with wireless charging in your Commuter Series case! While that case was designed with Qi charging in mind, we recommend OtterBox Power accessories for best wireless charging experience, though there are plenty of non-OtterBox charging pads that perform well with our cases. If you run into any other issues with your case, please don't hesitate to reach out to our Customer Service Team at 1-855-688-7269, and we can get you taken care of.

    Fit Issue

    Normally, I never have an issue with Otterbox. However, this one that i purchased doesnt quite line up how i would expect it. The portion of the flexible case that covers the charging port doesnt fully level with the rigid backplate. And the rigid plate doesn’t line up with the flexible portion. I’m just a little disappointed.

    Will not fit iPhone 12 mini

    Not sure how you put that on there Otterbox. Not even close to fitting a 12 mini. Rounded sides vs squared!

      We're sorry to hear you're having some trouble with the fit of your new Commuter Series Case. It's curious that you mentioned the sides of your device, as the case was designed to accommodate the squared edges that the iPhone 13 mini and iPhone 12 mini each have.

      We'd love to learn more about your specific situation and help to get thing on the right track, so please feel welcome to give us a call at 1-855-688-7269 and we'll get right on the case!
