Reviews around series (4.66 of 5)

  • So far so good not bulky as the defender series but has same protection and I have a glass screen protector and the case still fits in the phone.

  • The Commuter is slimmer and not as clunky as the Defender series, but appears to be just as protective with the two-piece style.
  • I have a galaxy s5 and originally had the defender series
  • No as bulky as the defender series, but also doesn't come with the hard plastic screen protector

Reviews around corner (4.26 of 5)

  • The top right corner by the headphone jack does not fit perfect, like my last case with Otterbox, but it does not appear to affect the protection of my phone

Reviews around shell (1.30 of 5)

  • Plastic shell makes it easy to remove from my pockets, but also makes it a bit slippery to pick up.
  • The inner case fits around the phone well, the outer hard shell does not have as good of a fit on my phone however

Reviews around bite (1.26 of 5)

  • It's simply falling apart a little bit at a time and thats after a year of good use.
  • A good choice though a bit pricey - Otterbox seems to be the standard recommendation at Best Buy and Verizon.
  • After about a year of owning this the padding has deteriorated a bit and stretched so it doesnt hold as tightly to the phone as it did in the beginning
  • They were a bit difficult to get on but they are great and the price was very good.
  • This seems to work for a guy who can be a bit rougher on his phones.

Reviews around design flaw (1.19 of 5)

  • The defender case for the S5 has a design flaw above the charging port/below home button.
  • The rubber helps your hand keep a firm grip on your phone as well as absorb the shock from a fall
  • However, other cases do it better, so it looks to be a design flaw on the part of Otterbox
  • Looks like a design flaw that has been fixed with the Symmetry series.
  • Not sure if it’s a design flaw or a bad run of these cases but they haven’t worked out

Reviews around screen cover (1.00 of 5)

  • Because the screen cover was obviously very cheap, I think a second one should have been included in the box because it's so easy to screw up installing the first one despite being very careful.
  • the only complaint I have is that the screen cover was very difficult to place.
  • My wife had a cheap-o imitation of this case, and it was always difficult to hear her over the phone, especially when she was on speaker phone
  • Screen cover was too difficult to apply properly, and I had to throw it out as it got too much dust on the adhesive side when I was trying to apply it.
  • I had some difficulty applying the protective screen cover and ended up not using it.

Reviews around finger (1.00 of 5)

  • The problem is that in order to use the reader, you have to swipe your finger all the way down the phone bottom, over the button, and past the lip of the phone
  • Dropped my phone multiple times (fumble fingers!), and my phone remained perfectly undamaged.
  • One gripe I do have about this case is that the bottom of it near where the home button on the phone is gets in the way if you are trying to use the fingerprint detecting as you need to swipe your finger downwards along the button for it to read the
  • I have to hold the phone with one hand and awkwardly swipe my finger with the other hand because the plastic case comes up about 1/4 centimeter in front of the sensor
