Fusing rugged elements from the Defender Series line and sleek characteristics from the Impact Series, the OtterBox Commuter TL Case for iPhone 3G, 3G S (Blue) offers the best of both worlds of on-the-go protection. An inverse design of the Defender, the Commuter‘s hard plastic is now on the outside of the case with protective silicone on the inside. And this TL version has inner coring along the vertical sides that provides added bump and shock protection while the one piece custom molded polycarbonate shell provides impact resistance.

Otterbox protection and little else
I bought this case because, while I liked the Otterbox, I did not want the bulky man-thing that my husband has his iPhone in. (OtterBox Defender Case for iPhone 3G, 3G S (Black)
This is a very durable case, as is to be expected from a product with the Otterbox logo.
However, if your toddler (or puppy) likes to play tug-of-war, this case will not hold up. Mine is stretched around the sides, from the tugging and from taking it off to clean it. (Because the case gives on the sides, it becomes a crumb-catcher.) Fitting the hard plastic shell back around the rubber skin is quite a feat after the third or fourth time; the rubber skin is not every elastic.
On the plus side, it comes in cool colors!
pretty darn good
I do not like my cases too squishy or wiggly (as silicone sometimes is,) nor do I like them bulky. I got this Otterbox to replace an Incase slider which was sparkly-silver and pretty, but so slippery that I felt like I was trying to grip soap. It works well. The silicone portion is snug, but gives traction, and the snap on portion fits with pleasing flushness. A minor quibble is that the lower edge is pushing at bit at the screen protector, preventing the screen protector from completely adhering along the bottom, but that’s because I put the screen protector on first, and did not center it top to bottom perfectly.
High Quality Case
I did a TON of research and reading reviews before ordering the The Otterbox Commuter. I have had it for a month and LOVE it. Best combo of a hard case and a silicone case.
Pros: nice secure port covers, protective silicone(I have dropped the phone a couple times with no problems) nice clear plastic on the back for easy sliding in and out of pockets and purses. The plastic is a matte finish and not cheapy or slippery. The silicone has very soft smooth feel and is not sticky.
Cons: The sides are a little flexible around the left and right edges of the I-phone. A little dirt can get under the cover. This is not a deal breaker for me. Also the charging port cover prevents a good connection when using a speaker docking station, which is a bit annoying. I had to take it out of the case to dock. The blue is definitely a bright royal blue (not as purpley as in shown online) which may not be for everyone, but I love it.
Overall, high quality case worth the extra money.
Awesome
This case is great! Less bulky than the original OtterBox but still protects. I would definitely recommend this product.
It’s a good cover for the iPhone
I like the color and the fact that it’s lite. It protects the phone well, very good for the price.
WOW This thing is BRIGHT Blue!!!!
A great case but returned it as it was way too bright of a color for my taste. Expected a bluish/gray based on pics but was more a deep sky blue. Got a black one instead.
