When I purchased my new phone, there was no question about the case I would purchase to protect it. I had an Otterbox on my old phone which saved it when dropped so many times. I knew the product was good and knew that’s what I would purchase again to protect my new phone.
Very flimsy. Not much protection provided. Unable to plug charger into the phone when the otter box was on. Absolutely useless. Very dissatisfied. Not sure I will be buying another otter box.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought this case less than a month ago and the sides are already blue. Also, i’ve dropped the phone about 4 times in the case and the plastic has already cracked completely through and across and is falling off. very upset … i thought otterbox cases were better than this

You're not wrong to expect the very best from the Otter brand, Hannah, though we definitely aim to keep one's device safe rather than making the case itself indestructible. But don't worry—we wouldn't leave you hangin' with a busted OtterBox. Just ping us using the link below and we'll be glad to help get a brand-new warranty replacement in the works!
Very nice protection for IPhone 12. Also works great for wireless charging. This is my second one. The weak point is the corner around the camera. That’s the area that broke on my first case. But the phone was not harmed, and that’s the main thing.

Hello! We’re sorry to hear about your damaged device. Our cases are very protective, but some variables can’t be predicted. We’re happy to send a new OtterBox product under our product warranty, but we are unable to extend our warranty to the device itself, as we are not the manufacturer. Please give us a call at 1-855-688-7269 with any questions or if you’d like a new case.
I’ve been buying the commuter for years and I’ve been happy with it. However, with the iPhone 12 commuter, all the side buttons are too hard to process. I will have to return it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Karen,
We're so sorry this Commuter Series case isn't meeting your expectations this time around. Buttons on new cases can be stubborn at first, but they should warm up after a couple week of consistent use.
If you're still having trouble, please feel free to contact us below and we'll dive in with some troubleshooting tips which should solve things in no time at all!
I had a I phone 8 that I liked that style better. I don't care for plastic on the outside because it is slippery?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

ALTHOUGH IT SAID COMMUTER AND 2 PIECES, I DID NOT UNDERSTAND WHY IT WAS 2 PIECES, MY OLD ONE WAS 1. THE INNER PIECE IS RUBBER AND THE OUTER ONE IS PLASTIC. IT WORKS WELL.I DID NOT WANT TO GET ONE THAT FOLDED OVER THE HOME SCREEN. DID NOT HAVE A CHOICE FOR ONE LIKE I HAD BEFORE.
