Defender Vs. Commuter
The Defender offers more protection than the Commuter, but the Commuter is a little thinner. I prefer the rubber on the outside of the case so you can set the phone on a dashboard and it will not slide around. The outer shell on the Commuter is plastic which can allow for a slip in your hand too. The Defender includes a screen protector and the Commuter does not. The whole idea behind the attached screen protector is to keep dust out. One day after having the Otterbox on my phone, I already noticed dust building up under the screen so I put some Goo Gone on it and pulled it off with ease. Any other screen protector that applies to the phone and not the case works much better.
Defender Vs. Other Cases
When I first purchased my Iphone I bought the Neo Hybrid case and I loved the slim fit and lay on the table appeal but a few weeks later one of the other kids in my college class dropped his phone and it shattered his screen. If you YouTube the Defender and any other case in the market you will usually find drop tests. I found it interesting that people on YouTube only do drop test from waist height when testing all of the cases on the market. I am sure that is the height of most of the drops that will occur but what happens if you drop your phone while on the second story balcony? The Otterbox Defender was the only case I could find that people dared to test it from a second, third and even fourth floor of a building. In case you were wondering, not even one drop test from that amazing height failed. I don’t know how you can ask for anymore protection for your very high dollar phone? It is logical that if any other case was comparable then people would dare drop from such heights too. Not to mention the quality of rubber of the Otterbox cases is superior to all other rubber types in other cases. It is a studier hard rubber. Another positive to the Defender is that it has covers for your ports so dust will not get in. I keep my phone in my pocket and I was amazed at how much dust and lint got into my ports each day. With the Defender there is no worry.
Defender Vs. Waterproof case
As for water protection? This case is not waterproof but a have heard my share of horror stories with the “waterproof” cases. My sister and a co-worker both had Lifeproof case and both had leak issue and a ruined the Iphone. The cases are a hit and miss and too much of a gamble for the price you pay.
In closing, you cannot go wrong with the defender case. If anything happens to your case within the first year you can just take a picture of the damage and send the picture to Otterbox and they will send you a new case. I used to worry about dropping my phone, but now I can say I have absolutely no worry thanks to the Defender. I recommend this case to everyone!
I have no idea how my phone survived but it did. I found the rubber jacket and bottom half of the hard (2-piece) case inside ...... a little further away was the phone. It was on and working. I could not locate the front half with the screen protector. The snaps and bottom half of the defender cover were broken pretty bad. My iPhone only had a small crack in the bottom left corner and a little scuff on the thick bezel. I really believe had it not been for the otter box defender I would've had to buy a brand new phone.
I have seen first hand that this product delivers !! While I plan to be better attention to what I am doing with my phone, I also plan to buy another one of these protectors as a "back-up". I have checked the company website and it appears they no longer make these for the 1st generation iPhone SE. The price combined with Amazon Prime's 1 day delivery make this one of the best deals on Amazon. Thank You !!
I've been pretty pleased with the Otterboxes I bought in the past for my two iPod Touch units, and after reading a Lot of reviews this particular Otterbox seemed like a good mix of value and functionality. And for the most part, it is. But it has its shortcomings.
You can't quite swipe your finger to the far edges of the screen, for one thing. And the environmental seal is, well, not very good. Shock resistance seems decent, but dust has a way of collecting in the corners and getting under the screen. Forget about water resistance.
I bought it mainly for protection from dropping and banging into things, and for that, it's a good choice. But I'm still keeping my $8/month insurance from T-Mobile.

Reviewed in India on November 7, 2019
Le lamentele sul fatto che la parte anteriore della custodia ha una protezione in plastica per il touchscreen che non aderisce bene si risolvono facilmente: io ho tolto la protezione dalla custodia Otter e messo una pellicola sullo schermo (nel mio caso un vetro temprato). Funziona tutto da dio, aderenza perfetta, risposta nel touch perfetta. Se non vi scoccia che l’iphone Diventi più ingombrante questa custodia è un acquisto consigliato!
Si se opta por usar sin el clip, será un poco bultosa y con el tiempo se marca en el pantalón, también se irá desgastando con mayor rapidez.
Ofrece muy buena protección ante caídas, y también cubre el sensor de huella para evitar que se ensucie.
