Otterbox 77-54032 OtterBox Commuter Series Case for iPhone 8 & iPhone 7 (NOT Plus) - Frustration Free Packaging - Black

Good

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

Fantastic product. Provides excellent protection with great usability of phone controls

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.
