I’ve bought many brands of cellphone cases and I keep coming back to Otterbox. The quality, selection of styles, and protection that Otterbox provides is in matched by any other brand.
Long time fan of the Defender series, but when my work phone was stolen and faced with having to buy a 2nd (non-reimbursable) case - opted to give the Commuter series a go.
Super nice case, but minimal grip on the sides. The back is slick plastic, so definitely easier to slide into pockets if that's an aspect you're after. But for me, I'm regretting - should have just gotten another 100% grip Defender.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Doesn’t fit my iPhone 15, I’ll need to replace it and will need to very soon before I lose it

Otterboxes are great, commuter series is a good balance between protection and bulk/weight. The Mac safe magnets do add some weight, but they ensure a good wireless charge position. The problem remains in that tiny piece of plastic over the USB-C port of the iPhone (practically any of them). That piece is always very thin so that the silicon flap can plug the port, but that piece of plastic almost always breaks…sometimes sooner than later. The usb-c connector and seat belt buckles remain an issue and will chip the protective glass (sold separately). Still have to be careful.
Compact yet effective in providing damage control from drops. It provides a cover of the charging port which is great for me as I often carry my phone in my pocket while gardening and it keeps dirt and debris out of the port.
