Pocket friendly and light weight. The down side is, it’s too slick to prop up against anything. You will have to buy some sort of propping device. The rubber support covering over the volume buttons and silence switch is weak and you’re easily able to pull back on it to expose the volume button. I believe it should be firm, so no dust particular enter. Also to give better protection on the edge of the phone. These phones aren’t cheap! Over all I would give it a solid 4.0. From my experience if you’re looking for safety and comfort I would choose the commuter series. This case blows the defender series out of the water. I’ve own both.
I’ve been using this case for a few weeks and it’s great except for the fact it looser than the previous design. Often when taking it out of my pocket I’ll find the case has slipped off at one end of the phone. If the phone is dropped at this point the screen is vulnerable.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hey, Craig!
We're sorry to hear that your Commuter Series case isn't fitting properly! The good news is, we have a stellar warranty, and we're more than happy to get you a replacement case. Give us a ring at 1-855-688-7269, and we can get that claim started.
My wife and I have owned a number of these over the years. Purchase one every time we up grade our phones. Excellent protection and a good quality product.
I purchased this case for my father's new iPhone 11 pro and it works great! His old case held up for the last 5 years with no issue so I knew I had to get him the same case for when he got his new phone. Will always purchase Otter Box cases for our phones!
I was looking for a case that would protect my phone, but not be too bulky. The only complaint I have about the construction is the height the bumper sticks up above the screen - its not enough. My screen feels very vulnerable, however, it hasn't broken yet. I guess I should have gone with the Defender. I really like Otterbox and desperately tried to find an attractive cover, but unfortunately, they don't have any. Would love to see a larger color choice.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I like the colors i got the pink with purple. The shell is hard the only downside is when I put it by my dashboard it falls bc the shell is hard and I use to have one for the iphone 6 the shell was rubber so it wouldn't fall from the dashboard. I thought this would be the same product. But in overall this case will protect my phone and therefore I'm happy.
I like the amplified glass that covers my screen. No smuggest. The case on the other hand. I should have bought the commuter one with the rubber and hard case. I used that before. Which is separated. This one is all in one so taking the phone out is easy. However, you need to take the phone out of the case if you are charging your phone wirelessly. that is why I gave it a four.
