iPhone cases seem to come in two different varieties: fashionable lightweights which look nice but provide poor protection and larger cases that add protection along with bulk. Personally I prefer function over form (Otterbox Defender!) but the Commuter is an excellent compromise that adds style and protection without a great deal of bulk.
Unlike it's beefier sibling, the Commuter's rubber sleeve is is banded by a smooth plastic shell, which allows the
Commuter to easily slide in and out of one's pocket. The case is actually two parts, a thin rubber piece which wraps over most of the
phone, providing shock protection, and then the aforementioned plastic piece, which slides over the back of the phone vertically as a band, providing further protection. Finally, there is a screen protector, which must be manually applied and is prone to bubbling. All together, these provide three layers of protection.
In daily use, the case provides fine protection against the usual hazards of iPhone ownership, such as pocket junk, random banging
against other objects, and sliding across tables, and it's dual layer protection is superior to the high fashion cases. Although, I didn't actually test intentionally dropping the phone, based on the construction of the case, I am pretty confident it would survive a short fall onto a hard surface unless you got unlucky enough to have something impact the front glass. I had enough close encounters with my iPhone 3GS and Commuter to trust Otterbox's design.
What are the downsides of the Commuter? Well, just like the Model T, you can have the Commuter in any color you like, as long as it is
black. I was disappointed in the lack of any color options, but this may not be a big deal to many people and I'm sure Otterbox will develop more colors later on. Another negative was the slim flap which protects the dock connection; although a good idea in
theory, the flap often comes loose and ends up just being annoying. Finally, the areas where the edges of the rubber of the case touched
the phone (such as around the screen and the mute switch) seemed to become dust magnets, although to be fair, many rubber cases have the same issue.
Overall, the Commuter is a great balance of protection in a lightweight design that easily slides in and out of your pocket. For my spouse the protection the Commuter offers is "just right" - more protection than the "free cases" Apple offered, with a minimal amount of bulk. If the Otterbox iPhone 4 case was a car, the Commuter would be the luxury sedan while the Defender is a tank. Not everyone wants to drive a tank to work.
Pros: A perfect balance of form and function and superior 3-layer protection
Cons: Lack of color choices, average manual screen protection

I like the product, having it for about a month now on my iphone 4. Some notes:
-Installing the screen protector requires careful planning and execution.
-Under use, when you do get some smears on the face of the screen, it is a bit more difficult in practice to quickly wipe them away with this case. This is because the case's sides are made of silicon and they extend above the face of the phone so you can't just take the phone and wipe it on your shirt or whatever. . .it drags quite a bit.
But, I have no signal problems like I used to and like the product.

I have a case of the dropsies. Thus case is very rugged and protects my iPhone. It is, however, much smaller than the other Otter cases so I don't look like I have some kind of phone meant for battle.

I like the case a lot. Screen protector was easy to put on and the case fits nice. I would order again and recommend to friends and family.

It has been a month and my wife hasn't broken her new phone yet thus I give it 5 stars. More seriously though, it is a great looking case and is well designed. It looks good and gives good everyday care without the bulk of the defender series. I have the commuter case for my blackberry and love it so it was an easy decision to buy this one for my wife. I haven't seen problems with the edges loose or sharp but I am not the primary user. Good case. Good protection Strongly recommend.
