Ever since I got my iPhone 6, I’ve been looking of a case that would protect the phone from life. That was accelerated due to yours truly putting the phone in my pocket and then my wife bumping into it which cracked the case I was using at the time.
Thus, time for a new case.
My choice was the OtterBox Commuter case for the simple reason that Otterbox makes cases that will survive drops and the like. It’s a two piece case:
- The inner case is made of a synthetic rubber
- The outer case is made of a polycarbonate
You put the phone in the inner case and then slide the outer case over it. The combination of the two helps to direct the energy from a drop away from the phone and protect it from anything else in the way of bumps, shock, or anything else that may damage your phone. The phone is almost completely covered along the edges. The only exceptions is the vibrate button on the side and the speaker on the bottom. Other than those there are redundant buttons that cover the volume buttons and the power button. Plus there are flaps that cover the headphone and Lightning jacks. On the back, the only things that are exposed are the camera and the Apple logo. The front of the phone has a raised edge so that if it drops screen first, the screen doesn’t take the hit unless it hits something like a stone. To mitigate that, a plastic screen protector is included.
Here’s why I like this case and I wish I had found it sooner. It’s a thin case that still allows me to put it in my pocket easily, and it does it add excessive amounts of bulk to the phone. Yet it will protect the phone from drops as only OtterBox cases can. That’s a win.
Complaints? One minor one. The design of the case slightly interferes with the use of the home Button, mostly when I had to unlock the phone using my fingerprint. Even with that minor complaint, I have no problems recommending that OtterBox Commuter case for the iPhone 6 which goes for $50 CDN. It’s a case that will protect your phone from whatever you encounter in your daily life.
