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...
