OtterBox iPhone SE 3rd & 2nd Gen (NOT SE4 – 2025 MODEL) iPhone 8 & iPhone 7 (NOT PLUS SIZED MODELS) Commuter Series Case - Black, Slim & Tough, Pocket-Friendly, with Port Protection

For the money especially, this is a great case. Unlike the defender series or others like it this doesn’t have the P.I.T.A. two-sided case that locks together and is difficult to remove. Some reviews say it’s hard to put on, they’re clearly doing it wrong as it’s VERY easy. It’s a 2 part design, so while it comes together, it’s key to put the rubber part on the phone before snapping the hard plastic cover in place. No doubt people saying it’s a tight fit tried both at once. That’s more difficult and puts strain on the plastic. I’m the worst about dropping my phone. ai must have dropped it (iphone 8) at least 75-100 times minimum, and I don’t even worry about breaking anything anymore. The lip of it sticks out just enough to protect the screen, and the dual layering is ultra shock absorbent. It’s also pretty thin considering the amount of protection. I gave a 4 for durability and sturdiness as over time the outer plastic snapped on me and the inner rubber cover has a few worn areas, but at $20, replacing wasn’t particularly bothersome and it certainly lasted a good 6-9 months of hard use - better the case than my screen! Still a 5 in total as sometimes something has to break, and so perhaps it’s better being a little less sturdy. To anyone asking, of course it fits a 7, there is no big difference in the shape of 8 and 7. Idk if the lip would protect the plus as well since the screen is bigger, but that’s an overall risk the Plus phones have. Finally, I wish I could rate Amazon delivery separately. If you live in a city apartment building or even a house and won’t be home, they don’t bother reading delivery instructions (which always has info to access my mail room / lobby). It’s probably Amazon’s fault for having impossible schedules, but the drivers will *sometimes* try to buzz once (not always), then ignore the delivery instructions and leave the box outside if you’re not home or can’t answer. When I wondered where my replacement case was, a quick review showed some lady walking by, noticing the pile of boxes left, and took a couple small packages on top before walking quickly off, one of course was mine. Almost more infuriatingly, customer service put it down to “delivery error” and said they’d blame the shipper.. yet Amazon is the shipper. So they blame themselves and do nothing to fix it, and outsourced customer service means people that can only answer a few basic questions before they get confused and off script. This time they promised me they were working with delivery drivers to fix the problem, yet it’s been happening for at least 2 years. If my neighbors didn’t look out for each other and bring in anything left outside, much more would have been stolen by now. And still they have my sensitive door access info, which I don’t give out lightly.. and never use it. How it’s cheaper to replace these items than just fix the problem is beyond me. My advice, if 1-day delivery is an option, is to buy it alone so as not to make the $35 minimum and let UPS handle it, since their drivers would never leave packages out on a city street (they also take note of info like door codes, how crazy). It’s to the point where if I see Amazon shipping I dread it and have to try to stay home. At the very least a notification saying the package is outside for anyone to take would be a start. That’s enough about Amazon shipping, just on my mind since the first order got stolen. UPS safely brought the replacement though

Great case! Lasted 1 year and 8 months before the power button’s rubber broke off rendering the whole case useless. I did buy a new one.

Nice and durable

I think this case protects your phone about the best of all the other covers but there are a couple of weak points. Around the camera and the charging port these are weak points and they tend to break. I like this case and I’ve bought three of them so far. I just wish those places were a little stronger.

Excellent Case! Fits as advertised.

I work in trades so I wanted something that would protect my phone but not make it feel like I have a scrap 2x8 in my pocket. Also being in trades it has gone through its fair share of abuse and after having this for a little over a year now the only damage I can report is some cosmetic scratches, dings, a small non important piece of plastic as well as the rubber flap that goes over the charging port ripped off (though I'm to blame on most of that...). Long story short I told myself I would get a new phone when my current iPhone 8 dies. In desperate attempts to speed that up without being too blatant (as I've now had this phone for easily 6-7 years now and I'm ready for a new one) I've thrown this thing across rooms, out of second story windows, off roofs and ladders, etc. I think you get the point... Fortunately (or unfortunately) it has protected my phone through it all. The only things I have against it though is that the opening for the charger does give some trouble to the thicker aftermarket chargers (e.g. I have a Ryobi lightning charger that's thicker to supposedly protect it but it still charges with some "convincing"). In an attempt to handle that I ripped off that rubber flap that I mentioned before (no, that solved nothing but I felt better in the end). NOTE: It actually was starting to rip off slowly through use about 6 months in but I just expedited that process. The other point is that after a year of use (and abuse) its texture has gone pretty smooth so the grip isn't anything to marvel at but it does its job. I somewhat handled this by cutting a bunch of grooves with a utility knife but I can understand others not wanting to follow suit. TL;DR - Doesn't impede in screen or button usage. Great protection in a smaller and sleek design. May have some problems with charger clearance if you have really bulky aftermarket chargers. Notes for the picture: Mostly here to show the missing rubber flap that would usually cover the charging port. There was a think plastic piece that would go right below it and create a hole that the flap would fit into but that broke off as well. Most damage is through my abuse (for example the bottom left corner) but for the most part it's still in working condition. You can also see my "custom texturing job" I did on the back lol. Does it look pretty? No. Is that my fault? Absolutely.

Product is very good and installed on my phone. Delivery was excellent. Clear installation instructions are needed and not provided. The picture printed on the plastic bag is worthless.

Good solid phone cover. Well constructed. Protects the phone well.

Nice piece of kit. Solid without being too bulky. I especially like the cover for the charging port. Hopefully no more pulling pocket lint out.

Good

Looks ok on the phone. Adds a bit of a bulk but its fine considering the protection.

This is the second Otterbox case that I've bought. This is a two-piece construction that holds the phone very securely. the outer plastic/case is a little on the slick side, but the inner rubber has some texture for grip. Fits nicely in the hand without adding extra bulk to the phone. All the holes match up very well to the iPhone 8. Buttons are tactile. Overall, very happy with the product.
