OTTERBOX Commuter Series for iPhone SE (1st gen - 2016) and iPhone 5/5s - Retail Packaging - Bubblegum Way (Bubblegum Pink/Seashell Pink)

I recently picked up an iPhone 5 and needed a new case. I've owned other Otterbox products before to hold some of my audio stuff, so I know their stuff is tough, and it was almost a no brainer to pick up their case for the iphone. I already knew that their case wasn't going to be tiny- in fact, I took my phone out today to clean and I was astonished at just how small my phone was naked; however, I find this to be a pretty small tradeoff for the protection my phone is getting. Another good thing is- the case is made of the same kind of plastic that is used on their Otterbox 2000 cases, so it's extremely hard and reasonably scratch resistant. It's slide around desks, and tables, and I don't have a single mark on my case yet, which I've read is quite the opposite of those Speck candy shell cases I was also looking into.Unfortunately, I possess butter fingers (probably just like you, since you're looking into this case), and I'm happy to report that this case can and will protect your phone. I have yet to drop my phone, but the case is so sturdy with the rubber lining and plastic outer shell, I wouldn't be concerned if it did. The case comes with a screen protector, but I removed it today, because I can never get those damn things on without bubbles. I don't mind not having one... the glass seems decent enough to not scratch easily, and if I drop the phone on something hard enough to break the glass, the screen protector wouldn't protect it anyways. The front is raised a bit so the screen wont come in contact with flat surfaces, and even the back of the case is a little bit raised in the corners. I've been carrying this case for about 2 weeks now and it looks good at new. I keep my phone in my front pocket without issues of bulk or weight (at least any that bother me.)My only complaint about the case is that the little cover for the lightning port connection begins to bend and kind of bulge out in the middle over time. This is due to the fact that it presses against the lightning connector when you're charging, and it starts to bend the little flap, so over time, when you close the flap, it no longer sits flush with the rest of the case. One last thing that bothered me a tiny bit was the screen protector- I didn't notice this right away, so it might've just happened over time, but when viewed at an angle, it has this weird rainbowish waviness/reflectiveness to it. Hard to explain... if you've ever seen spilt motor oil on the floor reflecting in the sun, then you'll know what I'm talking about.

Have always ordered Otterbox, I’ve dropped my phone in a few occasions and it always protects myphone. Stylish, pick to match the color of your phone, it covers well and protects well.

I would like to preface this review with saying that I have had Otterbox cases on my phones before (I've only had the commuter series) so I'm pretty biased towards them, but I'lll try and give it a fair review!On past phones, namely iPhones, I have had commuter series Otterbox cases to protect my phone and this one is just as successful as the last ones I've had. They protect my phone from the wear and tear of being tossed into my backpack or shoved into my pockets. I put my phone in my pockets a lot, which has proven to be highly destructive to other cases, but my Otterbox case has managed to stay in one piece and still protect my phone. My last phone had the commuter series case for about two years and the hard shell part of the case had just started to get caught in my pocket and break, which for two years of going in and out of my pocket countless times a day, I would say that it's about time it started to show some wear and tear. Overall, for protecting my phone as long as it did and as well as it did, this really doesn't bother me because it lasted MUCH longer than any other case has.I also do not drop my phone very often, but when I do it is one of those accidents where you just don't even want to pick it up because you're sure that your screen will be obliterated and you just don't want to face the truth. Well, since having the commuter series case from Otterbox, I have never had a ding on my phone, let alone a cracked screen. I will also note that I have a screen protector, for what its worth. But I have never had any damage done to my phone whether it's chipping the side or cracking either the front screen or the back. For slim, convenient protection that will keep your phone safe through normal wear and tear, I would recommend this product to any of my friends or family.Pros:Slim, lightweight designTight fittingCovers headphone and charging port (nice so they don't get dirty)Easy installation on the phoneDoes not limit button functionalityCons:None yet!
