I have owned the otterbox Commuter, and while I thought it was an excellent case, I had some criticism about the fit. I found the silicone to be to soft and it didnt "hug" the corners as tightly as I would have liked. I have been using the Switcheasy Rebel for several months now and couldn't be happier. The fit is absolutely perfect and the silicone/ exoskeleton combo are totally unified. I was using the Seidio active holster with the Otterbox Commuter and I am now using it successfully with the Rebel as well.
