OtterBox iPhone SE 3rd & 2nd Gen, iPhone 8 & iPhone 7 (not Compatible with 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

Good phone case at a reasonable price. I like that it has a cover over the plug-in so that lint doesn’t get in that opening. Fairly easy to install and seems sturdy enough to protect when phone is dropped.

Fit the 7s well, nice sturdy case. Simple to put on the phone. I’d buy it again

This case protected my phone for 5 years but you NEED a screen protector. I've dropped it so many times without damage to my phone until I dropped it just right and the screen landed on something sharp first and it completely cracked.

Great case, has enough of a edge above the screen to protect from most falls

Great protection nice look

The color is nice, and it works really well! It holds up the phone nicely. And is very scratch resistant. You can hear the sound from the phone well, and it is easy to get off and on the phone. It is easy to scroll with fingers with the case on and it’s not bulky or annoying! Works great!

As advertised. Good quality.
