Many appreciate its comfortable grip and stylish color options, while some find it adds a bit of bulk and lacks MagSafe compatibility. Positive feedback also highlights the case's ease of use, lightweight design, and overall good quality. A few customers expressed a desire for a built-in screen protector.

Posted .Hi there!
We're sorry to hear about your disappointment with your Commuter Series case! While that case is compatible with Qi charging, some chargers will perform better than others, so a different charging base may work better for you. Additionally, we recommend OtterBox Power accessories for the best wireless charging experience. If you end up running into any issues with your case, please don't hesitate to reach out to our stellar team of Customer Service Otters through the link below, or give us a ring at 1-855-688-7269.

Posted .We're very sorry to learn about your unfortunate experience with the Commuter Series case for your iPhone 13/12 Pro Max. While we design our cases to minimize the risk of damage, there are variables that can influence the outcome of any drop or fall that we're unable to prevent. We can't extend our warranty to the device itself, as we aren't the manufacturer. We'd be more than happy to help with a brand new case though. Please give our customer service team a call at 1-855-688-7269 with any questions or if you'd like a new case.
Warm Regards,

Case

“Protection”
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My glass cracked the first day I put this onto my IPhone. So much for “protection”

Posted .Oh no! We're very sorry to learn about your experience with the Commuter Series case for your iPhone 13/12 Pro Max. We know that can be a bit disappointing. We include those raised edges around the screen to assist with drop protection, but while we design our cases to minimize the risk of damage, there are variables that can influence the outcome of any drop or fall that we're unable to prevent. We'd also recommend pairing this case with one of our trusted screen protectors, like the Alpha or Amplify Glass, if you're looking for some next level protection. We can't extend our warranty to the device itself, as we aren't the manufacturer. We'd be more than happy to help with a brand new case though. Please give our customer service team ring at 1-855-688-7269 with any questions or if you'd like a new case.

Slippery
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I loved the color but I find it little slippery and had to return
I would recommend this to a friendBrand response from OtterBox Customer Support
Posted .Sorry to hear you had a bit of a struggle keeping a handle on that Commuter Series Case. Sounds like you've already moved on, but if you're still in the market then maybe check out our Defender Series, as that model has an outer synthetic rubber slipcover that would provide more grip.
Cheers,

You Otter Walk Away
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This claims to be compatible with i but sadly it does not work with MagSafe. They totally scammed us. The wireless charging does work but the max safe wireless charger will not magnet to this.

Says MagSafe compatible… false
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not MagSafe compatible. Bought for that purpose. Description misleading. Returning.

Posted .Our apologies for the confusion prior to purchase, but although the Commuter Series case will allow a charge to pass from the MagSafe charger through to the iPhone held within, it is correct that it does not have any internal magnets to help facilitate a "locking" connection with any MagSafe accessory.
We will make sure to share your discouragement regarding the messaging of this with our marketing team, and are again sorry for the poor experience. We do make a number of different case models that were specifically engineered for use with Apple's MagSafe ecosystem, and if you have any questions about those, please do feel welcome to give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269 and we'll be more than happy to help.
Happy Holiday Season,

Served its purpose
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Lightweight and practical doesn’t give the phone much room to breathe when charging and makes the phone run hot
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from OtterBox Customer Support
Posted .There's certainly something to be said for the Commuter Series case to have served its main purpose of helping to keep your iPhone safe from harm under the pressures of daily use, though we were sorry to hear that you felt like things were getting a bit heated when charging. As long as that was relatively isolated to the point of contact on the backside of your device where the internal charging coils would be set within then you shouldn't have anything to worry about. But definitely give our friendly Otters a call if we can be of any further assistance and we'll always be happy to help!
Happy New Year!

Case is Hard plastic that slips on surfaces :(
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This otter box is different from my last one. It is more a hard plastic than the rubber type I had. Did not know until I used it a few days so no taking it back I bet. It is so slick the phone slides when placed on certain surfaces making it much easier to drop the phone. HATE it don't buy..

Posted .So sorry to hear the Commuter Series Case wasn't quite what you were expecting or hoping for. Sounds like the OtterBox you'd had before was probably our Defender Series, which has an outer synthetic rubber slipcover that would definitely provide more grip versus this streamlined model you've landed on. But Best Buy carries the Defender Series Pro, so definitely give that a look! And give us a call at 1-855-688-7269 with any questions and we'll always be happy to chat!

Doesn’t fit proper and very over priced
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Otter box is usually amazing. This time not so much. The case does not fit right at all. The top part above the notch is not covered, with this case. The sides are very loose on the case and flappy. Not giving you the security you want on a such a big bulky case. I wouldn’t trust dropping my phone in this.
