Commuter case does a good job of protecting from most everyday bumps and drops. I especially like how slim it is and the hard plastic makes it easy to slide in and out of a pocket in tight pants. Pair it with a tempered glass screen and you’ve got all around protection and no reduction in screen quality or touch function.
I have never dropped my phone before (Aside from small drops from like the arm of the couch which is no big deal). Yesterday was my first big drop. I had just put the case on and had it placed on my handrail for a quick second and my kid decided to give it a nudge off the handrail. Watched it fall a whole flight of stairs onto tile. I thought the phone and case would be done for sure but not a scratch. Phone was good and so was the case.
I had my phone for 2 weeks before I got my Otter Box and felt like it would break at any minute. As soon as I received the Otter Box in the mail, I slapped it on my phone and haven't had to worry about breaking it every since!
I had the same type case for my old phone for years without any damage! I would not consider any other brand to protect my phone. Wish there had been more options available but I understand the reason they aren’t.
I bought this for my daughter. The colors looked good and she was most happy by the fact that it wasn’t as big and bulky as the defender case but appears to be able to perform just as well.
