Ditto, I placed my order after reviewing the photos & video clips in this thread. I was very much on the fence.
Very easy, mine fits great. Has a great feel but seems to show fingerprints worse than the naked screen. They clean off easy though. One of the best I've seen considering its included with a case.
I'd assume the Commuter is probably a very good pocket case if it's wrapped in the same new texture that the defender is.
I ended up ordering this one instead of the otter box, as it was backordered everywhere....

Has anyone noticed how horribly hard it is to press the sleep/wake with this case on? Not to mention how thin the plastic is at the bottom... Honestly, I loved my commuter on my 4s and otterbox did good by sending me a new one when mine cracked but I've gotta say this isn't great this time around... I honestly like my incipio that I ordered while I waited for the otterbox to come

Just put it on and noticed that as well. Also noticed the circle aroun the appl symbol wasn't cut well. Still some frayed edges. Picked it up at the Verizon store.
I picked up a commuter at my Verizon store. My phone won't come in for a couple weeks, but I thought otterbox ases came with screen protectors
Yea... The home button thing is likely a deal breaker to me. I love that it covers the ports but if I can't easily press the button like I can with the incipio, I dunno...
I have both the Commuter and Defender. The commuter (bought from Otterbox's site) had some issues with the rubber (the headphone jack cover had a slit in the middle). The big issue I had with the Commuter was it was close to the size of the Defender when I placed it side by side. Since they were so close in size, I went with the Defender and will return the Commuter. I was hoping the Commuter would be thinner.
They do. Even says so on their website. I asked this same question at Verizon and they were like.."uhhh idk"
I just received my commuter case today. I found the fit to be very good, the rubber flaps that cover the lightning connector and the earphone plug to fit firmly in place. The case over the volume and power button are easy to use with a firm (but not hard) press with a great tactile and audible feedback. I have spine damage with a reduction in hand strength and find it easy to press the buttons.
As in anything, these are my opinions but I am happy with the case. It gives a nice feel, doesn't snag when removed from my pocket, and it does come with a screen protector (which I don't use as I keep my phone away from my keys and i have never found one that I liked).
my commuter was sent from verizon and I did NOT get a screen protector in it.

I'm glad you like it.
I loved my commuter on my 4s. Wouldn't have traded it for ANYTHING.
I love the way it looks, I love the cutout on the back (some don't) and I LOVE that it covers up the ports on the bottom.
I just don't like having to kill the button to press it. I feel like I'm damaging something. I also don't like the thin plastic areas that are prone to breaking.

Bought from Verizon Wireless and I didn't receive a screen protector. The case is really good, but the only problem is I have a hard time pressing on the lock button.
