OtterBox Commuter Series

Ok so some of you may know that I have been sporting the OtterBox Defender on my iPhone 3GS. But the other day I won two OtterBox cases of my choice, thats what Twitter is good for - Free stuff. Anyway I chose to get the two new cases from OtterBox, the Commuter and the Commuter TL, in Blue.

Now if you know me you know that I am a bit ridiculous when it comes to the right case to cover, protect, my iPhone. I like a case that will actually protect my phone not just look neat. And this is why I have been using the Defender from OtterBox, keeps the dust out and covers every port. Why dust? Well if you have a case that collect dust then it will grind all the dust into the phone and that is just dumb. Drop/Shock protection is also very, very important to me, hence I use the Defender.

Ok back to the two new cases. I won them on Thursday and they arrived at my door Saturday. Wow! I didn't even pay for these and they still made them a priority, OtterBox's customer service make them a company that will go far, and a company that I can continuously recommend without hesitation.

Digressing once again, the Commuter Series cases are near perfect! I love the blue of the Commuter TL (other colors available) and the design with the hard shell on the Commuter is perfect! Only thing I would do is cover the apple logo, but since that is a signature of OtterBox I would suggest covering the Commuter the way it is covered on the Commuter TL. Also more colors would be great for the Commuter, yes they will have colored exchangeable hard shells soon. But I want the blue from the TL on the Commuter, mostly been just a black cases person but this blue is sharp!

I must also add that I love how the ports are covered! The headphone ports does not stick out too much but has a small nub on it to easily lift it open, much easier than the SwitchEasy port plugs, and OtterBox has them all integrated so I can't drop them in the car and never find them under my seat. And the sync plug is perfect - lightly wedges into the right spot and does not cause any problems getting out, the hard plastic is also designed at a slight angle to give more plastic for reinforcement but still allow for all cables to plug in.

While I am very tough on my reviews and recommendations for iPhone cases I can seriously recommend both of these cases, as well as the Defender for those that want real protection!

While I did just get the cases I believe that I will be sporting the Commuter from now on, as my favorite cases of all time!
