OTTERBOX Commuter Series Case for iPhone 8 Plus & iPhone 7 Plus (ONLY) - Retail Packaging - Aqua Mint Way (Aqua Mint/Mountain Range Green)

A little background info: I had a Defender series case on my S6 and my phone was in perfect condition the entire time. I literally dropped that phone a million times a day; many of those times from the top of the stairmaster! It never cracked at all. I recently purchased an IPhone and got the Defender case for it as well since I never had any trouble with it before. It worked just as expected for a while, but eventually it wasnt reading my fingerprint anymore bc of the plastic thats on the case covering it. Although I've always been SUPER hesitant about the Commuter case because it's way less coverage than the Defender, I decided give it a shot. The case LOOKS very nice on my phone since I have the matte black Iphone 7 Plus. It's a whole lot less bulky than the Defender so now I can actually fit it in my back pocket if I absolutely need to. It doesn't come with a screen protector so I went ahead and bought a privacy screen for my phone and that's working well so far. Now that the fingerprint isn't being covered by plastic, the phone is much more responsive. The case FEELS like its not as protective; feels like it will break on the first real drop since it's not rubbery like the Defender. I've now dropped the phone a few times (both times it landed face down on concrete) and I was terrified that my screen would be shattered. It wasn't. (errr, I hope I didn't just jinx myself) I suppose it has provided good protection up until now! There are no scratches, cracks or bends on my phone at this time. The one thing I really don't like about the case is how slippery the grip is. Since its not rubber, its hard to hold without it sliding out of my hand sometimes. Also, if your hands are sweaty, as mine often are, it feels a little gross and greasy to hold. Overall, I recommend the case. It looks good and offers the protection needed without the extreme bulk of the Defender. (when i do rugged activities, i do still switch my phone into the Defender case just incase)

I have had OtterBox Cases on my iHhones since the iPhone 5s came out - I stick with this brand because they are consistent with quality. I bought the OtterBox COMMUTER SERIES Case for iPhone 8 Plus. I am so glad I have this case, it's protected my phone from several big falls (including hitting asphalt, loose stone, concrete and falling off a deck). All that to say, the case has done it's job, protect my phone. I also have a glass screen protector on the phones screen for added protection. Between the two of these "covers" and the "finger Loop" I have, it's pretty easy to keep my phone safe and in my hand. Pros: slim design, strong protection, great color (no issue with color getting stained), easy to clean, easy to remove, attractive, affordable, QUALITY Cons: Sometimes people say that they have trouble hearing me on the phone with this case (haven't had that complaint with my previous iPhone Commuter cases), but I have a soft voice, and this is the 8s Plus+ phone, so it's bigger and microphone is farther from my mouth - so maybe these are all contributing factors?! I've had this case for about a year and a half - it is going strong!! looks just as good as it did the day I got it and most importantly - it's protected my precious iPhone 8 Plus. Note: for my iPhone 6s I'd bought the OtterBox Symmetry case and hated it - it also fell apart within 6 months - Symmetry case was not good in my opinion, but the Commuter Series Case is spot on quality and still slim and stylish.

I used to have a life proof case but it ended up not being so life proof for a 15 year old girl like myself. I then switched to the otter box commuter case and they have won me over 100%. For the past 5 years (I am now 21), I have dropped my phone countless times and the otterbox has continued to protect my phone each time. The case is sleek and not bulky at all. It has protected my phone from all damage that could occur to a phone including cracks, scratches, and internal damage. Yet, it is not waterproof! The color of the case has held up and the integrity of the case has not been impacted by my millions of drops. The only thing that is a little annoying with this specific case is that it has a rubber flap that covers the charging port that you have to flip out of the way in order to charge your phone. Overall, I would totally recommend this product to anyone with a phone. It will keep your phone protected while not being too bulky. I will continue to trust otterbox in the for all my future phones.

This is a late review, I purchased this case in April 2017. This is my first OtterBox case, I got this for my new iPhone 7 Plus and I am very impressed with the workmanship thus far. I previously owned a Spigen SlimArmor case for my old Galaxy S4 (a very good, strong, lightweight well-designed case also), but since they did not make that specific case for the iPhone7+, I opted to go for more protection with an OtterBox. (Given a choice, I would prefer a more lightweight case since I carry my phone in my pocket everyday and am usually very careful with my phone anyway.) The Otterbox Defender weighs a lot more than a SlimArmor, but that definitely comes from the high quality plastic outer shell that gives it a much sturdier feel. The hard plastic outer shell attaches to the rubber fitting at both the top and bottom (the Slim Armor only attaches to the sides, so only rubber bumpers protect the top and bottom). The Defender case is definitely well-designed with protection as it's primary asset. The buttons are precise and the charging flap is still going strong with daily use for over a year now. This case has survived waist-high drops onto concrete, hardwood and tile and never even blinked. I am now using it on my bike (with a bike mount) and I'm fairly confident that this case could handle a minor accident if it happens. The one negative thing I could say is that the hard plastic outer shell does get a little slippery if your hands are sweaty.

One year later update: Clearly the phone has been well protected. It’s survived plenty of drops. It does add more bulk than I expected but that’s generally the trade off you get for protection. At times the rubber part has a strange pine smell. What i learned from this year of use is that this case is good when you leave it on but it’s vulnerable when you install and remove it. Because if the bulk i take it off when using a tripod or gimbal. And that’s when it broke. Just like the first one (below), it broke in the bottom left corner. Still 4-stars for serving well for the year. Now I replaced it with a bumper style case and ditched the bulk. Wish me luck. Original reviews below. Attempt #1: Came with a broken left corner, I suspect from the lack of protection because of the "Frustration-free packaging." There were also a couple scuff marks on the backside to indicate it had been through something. I started the return process and Amazon quickly offered a free replacement without requiring me to return this one. I superglued the corner and gave it a try. When the replacement came, the case promptly snapped between the Apple hole and the right side, as I was taking the phone out of the slightly broken and now very broken case. Attempt #2: The replacement came promptly. Amazon upgraded to DHL international shipping to get it to me quickly. Props for that. The case itself, other than the snapping incident above, seems solid. I like the look and feel of it. Just be careful when removing the case. Don't try to bend the case to pull the phone out. The case loses. It's already been through a couple drops. One on pavement outside and one on hard floor inside, both left the case and phone in tact. I would 5-star it except for how easily the first one snapped.

Bright color. Very well fitting and secure. Fast

This case is the best iPhone case I have ever owned. It is. It that thick, and the buttons are just as easy to use as without a case. I love this case because I am 200 lbs, fell off the third ring of a ladder onto a concrete floor with my iPhone 8 in my back pocket. No damage (to the phone) and I landed flat on it. Additionally, I dropped my phone from 6 feet off the ground and I have experienced no damage - on that drop or any other. I am a little clumsy. I am writing this review because I got sick of buying cases for $15 that still looked great after you shatter your display. Or the top of the line Mobi that doesn’t care if your phone gets damaged as long as u have some battery to use This Otter box case had allowed me to keep this iphone longer that I have owned any other phone. I will never buy anything else. If you want to truly protect your phone, this is the only product I have found that does what it is supposed to do.

I will ALWAYS choose Otterbox, especially for such fragile items like an iPhone. This case has lasted nearly two years now with almost a drop per day (I am very clumsy), and with only one tiny crack in the hard plastic underneath the home button. Coupled with my glass screen protector, my phone is practically invincible. Do be aware that the light pink, rubberized portion will get darker with time and use no matter how clean you keep it. I didn’t like it at first, but it is not unattractive and I am quite used to it now. It is easy to hold but since my hands are very small and I have short fingers, I decided to attach a popsocket on the back for easier use. This is more due to the size of the phone than the case, but it’s worth noting since the back part is not rubberized and will slip out of a hand easier. Overall, love it. Definitely recommend. Would strongly suggest using a durable screen protector in addition, and perhaps a popsocket if you have small hands.

Great case for IPhone X. Very durable and nice in touch.

I am famous in my circle for dropping my phone and was having to repair the screen every few months! By the end of my contract my phone would be knocking at heavens door no matter what case I used. Then I found OtterBox!!! Not one scratch, not one spec of damage, this case is brilliant! I’ve told everyone to get one because it will save your phone and your insurance claims!!
