I have wanted an Otter for some time. As soon as I was in a position that it made sense, I pulled the trigger.
Due solely to my anxiety over getting my new Otter setup, I rushed to putting it on. I know in my heart that if I had taken more time to understand the process, my experience would have been 1000% better.
Despite that, my Otter is the best. It creates the right profile, makes handling the phone so much better/easier and the protection goes unnoticed but is most certainly there.
Love this product! It has protected my phone against numerous drops over the two years I have had it. Unfortunately, I have had to contact customer service at least 5 times because the hard plastic shell near the charging port snapped. I can't complain though, because they've always sent me a complimentary replacement very promptly! I'm planning on getting a new phone, and will definitely stick with otter box.
I got a commuter case that I loved the color of, teal with dark teal, it broke at the charger port - the hard plastic broke and the silicone started to rip after pulling out the tab to charge everyday. The warranty is great but they didnt have the color I had originally purchased. The edges of the hard plastic are very rough making it uncomfortable to hold.
My first one broke after almost one year- but Otterbox stands behind their products and replaced it! I love this case as it is not as big and bulky as he defender series. The ports are easily accessible as we'll! So glad I bought an Otterbox! This is a company that really backs their products, and that is something rare anymore !
I love my otter box case. It is not as big as the other Otter box I had. I did have trouble putting the clear front cover on it and it still has bubbles in it. I don't know if I could just buy the front cover. I do like the color and the slim case.
Case works a treat, have dropped the phone a bunch and its still in one piece. One thing they don't mention is you also get a screen protector when you buy the case. Can't fault it, has little flap things to cover the charging and headphone port, works great.
I have the commuter series when I upgraded from iPhone 3 to a 4S it was the first thing I bought. I dropped my phone from upstairs th hardwood floor below, it cracked the case but the phone was fine. Then otterbox replaced the case! It is definately a good investment!!!
