Otterbox iPhone 8 & iPhone 7 Commuter Series Case, Ocean Way

This case is a replacement for an Otterbox case I purchased in 2020. After use every day that case had finally succumbed, the rubber switch and port covers came off, and the cover over the on-switch was problematic. This new case is a different, slimmer design which does not cover the face. This means that the phone is far more touch sensitive than I'm used to! I think I prefer the design that protects the face but...we'll see.

This is my second Otterbox for my Apple SE. It was very difficult to get onto the phone. I don't like the flap over the Lightning charging port. The phone buttons are hard to push. BUT it feels very secure and I like the textured back. My previous Otterbox lasted over two years and my phone survived several drops. Eventually that Otterbox just disintegrated. I use my Otterbox with my Turtleback holster. Turtleback recommends it.

Love the new case. I had worn out my old Otter. the only feature that is not as 'smooth' as my old case: the flap that covers where the recharger inserts. my other cover didn't even have a flap. with new one, I have to hold phone upside down and also hold flap back with my thumb. Not a big deal, just different. I feel like Otter protects my phone better than any other case! Thanks for great quality.

The color is attractive. This case is actually 2 pieces which wasn't mentioned in the description. The soft piece goes on first and fits great. The hard case that belongs on the outside does not fit correctly. I had to leave the hard case off to charge my phone. I wouldn't buy this again.

I love the otter box phone case I drop my phone all the time. My last otter box case got dropped so much pieces began to chip off, but my phone never got one crack! No other case I trust as much

Absolutely Elephant Proof! Your marketing Dept. should run over one of these cases with a truck! Pretty sure it will keep the phone from damage! The belt clip may succumb to the pressure, but not the phone!

There wasn't a screen protector in the box with the case. The box showed the case with the plastic screen cover, but it was missing. I had to order one to fit the iPhone separately. That was a little disappointing!

Works well. Only complaint is aesthetic. The case has a hole in the back where I guess the Apple logo is supposed to show through. The 2nd Gen SE's logo is in a different location than the 7/8, so there is a useless hole in the case if installed on an SE.

I have had the case for about three weeks and have dropped the phone several times without hurting anything (one nick on the case, which is better than on the phone). The color is good, and it is grippy enough that it doesn't slide in my hand but smooth enough that it will still slide into my pocket, when it fits. I don't think the phone/case need to be smaller, but women pockets should be bigger.

I've had Otterbox cases for years now, and used them hard. A story I like to tell about my old Defender case is that I was sitting on top of a Boeing 737 changing out a VHF antenna and my phone slid out of my pocket and fell to the ground. For reference, that's a long dang way. It was somehow just fine, and I kept using it for four more years. These days, working in an office requires the less-beefy Commuter case, and this is my second one. They're light, tough and add some necessary depth and grip to the too-thin phone so my dumb gorilla hands can actually hold it. My only gripe is that Apple moved the logo on the iPhone SE, so now the little round vanity window on the back just shows a bare patch of glass. I don't care too much, but if you're into showing off, take that under advisement. Anyhow, A+++++ would drop off airplane again.
