Review of OtterBox Commuter Case for iPhone 4

I ordered a Commuter Case for my iPhone 4. I wanted a case that slipped into and out of my Scottevest pockets better and the Commuter Case looked like it would fit the bill.

When it arrived I tried it on my iPhone minus the screen saver. The case definitely slips into and out of pockets better but I sent it back. Here are the pros and cons:

OtterBox Commuter Case:

Pros:

• Lighter than the Defender Case
• Slips into and out of pockets easier than the Defender Case.
• A more stylish look than the Defender Case 

Cons:

• No belt clip
• The corners are not covered in hard plastic.
• The front of the iPhone is unprotected except for the stick on screen saver. (The Defender Case has a raised edge all around the screen in addition to a built in screen cover.)

Summary:
The Commuter Case offers more protection than most of the cases I see on the market with only a little more weight. However, for people who tend to drop their phones like me then you may want the additional protection of the Defender Case.
