Bad material, too slippery.
I returned it. The material the case is made of feels gross in my hands. All the moisture on my hands builds up on the surface very quickly, on top of having a weird bumpy texture. Also the material is too slippery.
Putting the case onto the phone is annoying. The back plastic casing creases the rubber part as you try to fit it on and you have to mess with it a bunc...

Replacement/Design Change
This case is a replacement for an Otterbox case I purchased in 2020. After use every day that case had finally succumbed, the rubber switch and port covers came off, and the cover over the on-switch was problematic. This new case is a different, slimmer design which does not cover the face. This means that the phone is far more touch sensitive than I'm used to! I think ...

replacement case
Love the new case. I had worn out my old Otter. the only feature that is not as 'smooth' as my old case: the flap that covers where the recharger inserts. my other cover didn't even have a flap. with new one, I have to hold phone upside down and also hold flap back with my thumb. Not a big deal, just different. I feel like Otter protects my phone better than any ot...

Hard
The frame is a hard plastic and is rather heavy but otherwise decent

Beautiful
Beautiful but no screen protector. I would have given it a 5 star rating if it had a screen protector.

Elephant Proof
Absolutely Elephant Proof! Your marketing Dept. should run over one of these cases with a truck! Pretty sure it will keep the phone from damage! The belt clip may succumb to the pressure, but not the phone!

I expect this to live up to past Otterboxes
I've had Otterbox phone cases for my iPhones for years, expect this one will live up to the high standard of the previous boxes. No phone failures with these cases. Will see how well the charge port cover will do, as this is a new feature for me.

My new commuter case
I love my new case and I think it is very durable. I also love the charger port cover. It keeps the port clean of dirt and debris.

This cover is very slippery. I have dropped my phone there times since putting it on. On the plus side it protected my phone they it was supposed to.

Read description carefully
Disappointed in product no screen saver and no protector over ringer control. Continual “offing” of ringer on handling phone. Should have read the description more carefully and purchased a higher end protector.
Product performs well as is. l

Sturdy case
This is a sturdy case and I’m hoping it lasts for several years, since I don’t upgrade phones unless my phone breaks.
