This is the second set of otterbox cases we have had for our Samsung Galaxy phones. It seems to be good, but it remains to be seen if it really protects the phones well enough. My wife dropped her previous phone (Samsing S8), housed in an otterbox case and the corner of the screen cracked. The phone still worked so maybe the case did a reasonable job. However the drop was only a coupe feet and I would have expected no damage based on the otterbox reputation. I guess we will see if this case works better.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Worst Otterbox Case
on May 27, 2023
Posted by: Feather40
Poorest design of any commuter series I've had yet. The cover on the charging port has no notch to get your finger in to pull it out so you can charge, making it very hard to "uncork" the port when needed. The case itself has a very rough texture that hurts the ear when you have to actually use your phone as a phone. All in all feels cheap and poorly thought out. I also wish there were more than 4 color choices. A brand as successful as Otterbox doesn't need to cut corners to make a profit but it feels like that's exactly what happened with this model. Wildly disappointed with this purchase. Currently exploring other options (and brands) to replace this crappy case.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We're sorry to hear the Commuter Series case for your Galaxy S23 wasn't what you were hoping for. We get how that can be a bit disappointing. If this case isn't quite cutting it for you, maybe you'd be interested in our Defender Series case that features our multilayered design and includes a soft exterior synthetic rubber slipcover. We sincerely appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts on this case with us though and we'll be sure to pass your feedback along to our design team for you and let them know you'd like to see some additional color options as well. Please give our customer service team a call at 1-855-688-7269 with any questions, concerns, or if we can be of any additional help to you.
Rugged case that fits well. Dropped my phone a few times and no damage to the phone. I had an Otter case for an old phone and was happy with that case as well. Otter cases are dependable.
Not as good as others in past. The usb-c cover doesn't fit as well as I expected. Otterbox did send me a replacement and it was a bit better but not as good as the one for my s20.
Great cases as always! We have been using commuter series cases for at least 10 years and they have provided excellent protection. Saved our phones from countless drops over the years.
There was a minor problem with the charging port cover laying completely flat on the S23 cases we just received. First time ever that there was any issue. Customer service was friendly and very helpful. We received replacements, that had no faults, without difficulty.
