Quasi-fit
on September 22, 2014

The previous reviewer is correct that the fit is not as "snug" as previous Commuter cases. Unlike the previous reviewer, I don't think the "snugness" pertains to bottom of the case but more-so to the upper third of the case. If you take notice of the design, the upper third of the case reveals a lot of the slipcover. The edges of the slipcover do try to pull away from the screen of the iPhone (especially on the left side where the volume rocker and silencer switch reside).
Is it a "deal breaker" with this case. Absolutely NOT! Could they have designed it a bit more rigid, DEFINITELY! All things considered it still provides the great/minimal Commuter-esque protection and very good access to all features of the iPhone 6.
As a side note, if you have a silver/white iPhone don't order the black/grey combo. It's not very attractive. White/grey or Black/black is the way to go...
Pros: High quality, Durable, good access to features
Cons: design reveals a lot of the slipcover
I would recommend this to a friend!

Little Disappointed

I received my otterbox commuter case today. I was excited because I have had plenty of otterbox cases in the past for all of my iPhone's and have love love loved them. This one...not soooo much! The fit is not as sung, the outer case (shell) does not fit seamlessly as in other cases for previous model iPhones. The rubber case on mines is great. I feel it be would a great improvement it they fix the shell for the commuter case and send everyone who purchased this case in the month of September a new shell due poor fitting!
Pros: Durable
Cons: not a great fit all around
I would recommend this to a friend!

Bad Fit

I am very disappointed in this case. I have had several OtterBox cases and love them, but not this one. The plastic shell doesn't fit around the sleeve tight. The fit and finish isn't like other cases that I have had.
Pros: Durable
Cons: Low quality, fit and finish
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great Wallet Case
on October 15, 2014
Posted by: RandoCalrissian
This review is for the Black Commuter Wallet case for iPhone 6.
I'm coming off of owning an Incipio Stashback case for over 2 years on my 5 and 5S. I'm going to miss that case...
However, the construction and fit on the OtterBox Commuter Wallet case for iPhone 6 is great! The slip cover fits into the plastic molding perfectly snug and tight. It feels solid.
I was able to slip in 2 credit cards and 1 drivers license as well as a $50 bill into the wallet compartment with no problems.I make purchases(with my cards) 7-10times per week for my business. It seems a little stiff opening and closing to get your cards in and out. Hopefully over time it may loosen a little bit?
I gave the design -1 star because of this and because Incipio hit the mark with the best(in my opinion) iPhone 5/5S credit card case, but failed to come close this time around with the iPhone 6/6Plus. That's where OtterBox takes the lead for this new round of phones.
I'm overall satisfied with my purchase for the time being. :-)
Pros: High quality, Durable
I would recommend this to a friend!

Really wish it fit...

I ordered a Commuter case for my 6 and a Defender case for my brother's. The Defender case fit fine, but the Commuter did not come close to fitting snug. I put the top part of the hard shell over the silicon, which seemed okay. Then the sides snapped in place fine, but the bottom portion just did not connect. There were huge gaps from where the hard shell should have fit it to where it ended up. The headphone jack was still exposed enough to not be a problem and the lightning cable port was not blocked either. I really wanted to like this case because it seemed sturdy without being bulky and I liked the color (light blue shell, which the picture makes look a little metallic, but it is not and black silicon), but it is hard to give more than one star when the case cannot be used at all.
I had read other reviews that said the same thing, but was hoping that the problem would have been fixed by the time I ordered mine (10/7/14). The fit does not even compare to the great fit of the commuter for the 5s. Maybe some time in the future this issue will be addressed, but until then I would say go with the Defender if you do not mind that the built in screen protector does not lie flush against the face of the phone. It is much less bulky than the Defender case for 4s (I never had one for 5s). This is probably my next move because the Otterbox cases really do offer great protection for your phone.
Pros: Durable
Cons: bad fit
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Poor Fit and Misalignment
on October 9, 2014
Posted by: Lesliees

I wanted to give this product the benefit of the doubt after reading negative reviews since I loved the commuter case for my iPhone 4S. But this case truly doesn't fit well. The corners aren't snug (gaps between rubber and plastic) - and yes, the headphone port rubber alignment is off. I will be returning my purchase today. Disappointed...
Cons: poor fit, misalignment of ports
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Commuter wallet for iPhone 6

Well I'm shocked, after reading numerous bad reviews for the commuter series and 1 for the wallet I took a gamble on the wallet because I liked the looks and that it could hold 3 cards and cash. Well, I'm extremely happy with it. I got the white one which looks great and feels good in the hand.
The fit is perfect, and where 1 review said it touched the camera this does not apply to mine (maybe this is a new batch).
The only negative is that the headset cutout covers half the hole which doesn't affect me as I use a Bluetooth headset.
In conclusion I would highly recommend the commuter wallet to anyone that wants to not carry around your wallet/purse and wants great quality.
