OtterBox Commuter Series Case for Motorola Droid

Reviewed by Phil Nickinson

The Motorola Droid is a beast of a phone, no two ways about it. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't consider a case to help protect it. After the break, we take a look at the Otterbox Commuter Series case.

Otterbox is a name synonymous with protection. And I used to think that meant some hulking rubber-and-plastic enclosure that would ensure by phone's protection by ensuring I'd never take it out of my pocket. But what it comes to the Commuter Series case for the Motorola Droid, boy, was I wrong.

The case is made up of two simple pieces of plastic -- one for the slide-up screen, the other for the body of the Droid. And the two simply snap on. While it's easy to tell which way to snap on the body case, you'll want to double-check the screen's half. There's a small opening at the bottom for the main microphone. (There's also an opening for the secondary, noise-canceling mic on the back, of the phone, too. That's something that we've seen missing in other cases.)
Best part about all this protection is that it doesn't really add that much bulk to the phone. OK, it got a little bigger, but that's to be expected. And available now for $32.95 in the Android Central store, a little extra bulk is worth the price of protection.

Best Droid cover hands down

User: Alex Hanson, Jun 9, 2010

Pros:	Perfect and beautiful fit and finish, slim, buttons are covered
Cons:	none really except no belt clip maybe?

This is my third case for the Motorola Droid and this one I believe is the best. The Bodyglove comes close but this one edges it out by how well it fits. The fit and finish is perfect, not a single ill fitting piece anywhere. Its also quite slim too, even moreso than the Bodyglove. I love how the buttons are covered and protected. They also do not hamper the operation of the buttons one bit, in fact it actually makes using the buttons easier. The only con I can think of is the fact the case is a bit slippery when held in your hand vs what the phone feels like naked. For me, this is not a con but a pro because I wanted a case that would easily slip in and out of my pocket. It doesnt come with a belt clip nor can one be used but like I said I wanted it for my pocket, not to attach to my belt.

	Really Cool

Case definitely is a lot bulkier in the pocket. Overall tho, it adds a nice and sturdy touch to the mobile device. Love the Otter box logo on the back and the square opening to show off the 5MP camera logo.

If this aint kewl idk what kewl is!!!!!

Pros:	MY DROID IS SAFE AND SOUND
Cons:	A bit hefty and no clip to place on the belt

I like this case more than any other even though I cant clip it to my belt. I have dropped it getting on and off of the bus and even when getting in and out of cars and still, NO cracked screen and no chipped OUTTER BOX!!!

	Best Case for Droid
User: Jonathan Dodd, Apr 10, 2010

IMO best Droid case out there. Seidio pales in comparison. 3rd day i had it I dropped my Droid from about 5.5ft. not damage to the case or the phone. I cant say the same for the Seidio.

good, but not great

Pros:	back-case
Cons:	front-case

The silicone insert and hard shell for the back of this case are very well designed. If Otterbox made a car mount I would buy it, but the back of this case is easy enough to remove that I can still use it with the Motorola car dock (which I got free through a Telus promo.) The plugs for the phones data and headphone ports are also very well designed. Also, the button covers make the volume button easier to find in my pocket, which is great.

The front half of the case, though, is not so impressive. (the screen protector is fine, Im talking about the plastic snap-on bezel.) Basically, if you dont need to ever take the thing off it would be fine (though I wonder how much protection it really offers) but taking it off is a nightmare. Its just too tight mine broke after two weeks (and I only took it off 5-6 times I gave up on taking the case off to get the phone into my car dock.) It snapped right at the small cut-out for the mic.
