Worth the extra $$........,

This review is from: OtterBox Commuter Case for Nokia E71x (Black) (Wireless Phone Accessory)
I was shopping for cases to replace the cheap silicone case that I'd been using. I stummbled upon the Otterbox series. I almost purchased the "Impact" series, but then I again stummbled upon the "Defender" and "Commuter" series. After looking at reviews I purchased the "Commuter" case. It is a 2-ply system. The first is the silicon case that goes around phone. The second is a sturdy plastic outer shell that wraps a majortiy of the silicone inner layer.This is much better protection than just having the silicone. It also makes better handling of the phone. It did also come with a screen protector, but it did not go on smooth and I really didn't need it so I tossed it.
If you need to **really,really** protect your phone from alot of everyday abuse-spend the $40-50 and get the "Defender" case..This case has the plastic core for the first wrap on phone followed by the outter beefed up silicone outter protection-kind of reverse from "Commuter" but the plastic wrap is all around phone. If you only need pretty decent protection then the $20-25 on this "Commuter" case is worth it. **All cutouts fit precisley over the buttons,mic,earpiece,etc.....*** The $10-15 on the "Impact" series is pricey for just a silicone case that offers very limited protection. If you need more check out "Otterbox" reviews on Youtube.....

This review is from: OtterBox Commuter Case for Nokia E71x (Black) (Wireless Phone Accessory)
I don't write too many reviews but felt compelled to write this one because this case is so good. I have had this case on my phone for 3 months now. I love my Nokia E71 and want to keep it for a long time. I tried a "leather" case that had clear plastic over the screen, and it ended up scratching my screen protector (glad I had that installed!). I searched for other cases and almost bought a standard silicon case but just didn't like how "sticky" they feel when trying to put in one's pocket and how they don't always fit tightly.
This case solves both problems. The silicone protects the phone nicely, while the plastic "shell" provides reinforcement increasing the protection and giving it a very solid feel. With the plastic shell, the silicone fits tightly, and one can insert the phone in one's pocket without much problem. None of the keys on the keyboard are obstructed, all of the buttons and ports work just fine with this case on. I happened to drop the phone for the first time this week on a concrete basement floor, and the case did it's job! Phone is working just fine with no damage/scratches. The only issues I have with this case are: - I would like a little more of the silicon to be revealed on the back of the case to help prevent sliding off of tables, desks, etc. - The area along the upper-left side near the memory card slot/USB port and the screen is a little bit too thin and makes me wonder if this will rip off eventually. I think there is plenty of room to increase the material here while sill allowing for access to these ports.

This review is from: OtterBox Commuter Case for Nokia E71x (Black) (Wireless Phone Accessory)
I purchased my OtterBox Commuter case to protect my first-ever smartphone: a Nokia E71. I researched the different OtterBox offerings and decided to save a few bucks by purchasing this one instead of the Defender, but I probably should have splurged. Primarily for the additional screen protection offered by the Defender series, which in turn also gives a tiny bit more protection to the keypad by putting a 'bridge' of sorts (horizontal crossbar underneath the screen and above the keypad) that might take some impact if the phone hit the ground face first. The Commuter doesn't have this and after I played with the phone a bit I thought about how great it was and how awful I'd feel if I dropped it. "Live and learn?"
The case was very easy to put on, feels good in the hand and came with a clear screen cover that went on easily once I viewed the tutorial on 'how to' on the OtterBox website. The cover to the power jack would not seat and came off within days, which kind of frustrated me a bit, but realistically, I would want easy access to that port anyway so why cover it? It would be great if OtterBox came out with these in another color, but hey, I'm a girl and I like things in every color. Overall, this is a good choice for a case to protect your Nokia E71, however I'll be on the lookout for 'perfect for me' in the future. I hope it's from OtterBox... 2115|R162D9D5PJW0KT;2115|R6UHPRLSC25O7;2115|R3ID812RXQJZTY;
