Customers are saying

Customers highly value the Commuter Series Hard Shell's protective qualities, with many praising its ability to safeguard their iPhone 16 Pro Max from damage. However, some users express concern over the case's design, specifically the exposed camera button, citing potential vulnerability. A few comments suggest this cutout could compromise screen protection. The functionality of the camera button itself is also a point of discussion.

    Low profile, strong protection at a great price! I was never a fan of the overly bulky Otterbox cases of the past, but they hit the nail on the head with this one.

    I have been STRICTLY an Otterbox Commuter user since iphone 7. They have cosmetically changed over years, new grooves here and there and such. But it has ALWAYS remained the same. 2 shells (one plastic and one rubber). Rubber around the edges to protect the screen and give it grip when phone is laid face down and it has always had 2 rubber pads on the back side for grip when the phone is laid on its back. So naturally when i bought my 16 pro max i bought a commuter AGAIN. Well, i am returning it for the foedt time in years. For starters, they rubber pads are now gone. No more grip when laid on its back. That was very important to me. Next, the big notch for the camera side button. It leaves so much glass edge exposed that i cannot risk keeping the case and and dropping my phone and it having that huge area of glass edge exposed. That is almost a 100% gaurantee to have a cracked screen. Since my iphone 7 days until now i have dropped my phone hundreds of times and NEVER have broken or cracked a screen. But im not longer willing to risk it with this Commuter downgrade. I need something that is going to fully protect all the edges. Anything otterbox currently doesnt have that protection. And if it does the case is just thin and doesnt protect. So, on to a different brand search.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    I always make sure to pick out an OtterBox for any new phone that I get. You guys had a great selection for me to choose from and I loved that! This one is an excellent choice. It isn't to bulky but also feels sturdy and protective:)

    This case is protective and buff but where the camera button is, it’s not that safe from a severe fall if it were to drop on the side, then it would be horrendous.

    Case provides excellent phone protection and doesn’t have any problems integrating with my installed screen protector. It’s great that it’s mag safe and charges phone without issue, doesn’t require case removal for anything.
