COMMUTER SERIES Hybrid Case for HTC One - 1 Pack - Retail Packaging - Punked

So I finally upgraded my phone to the HTC One after doing much research and waiting for my contract to expire. Previously I had the HTC Evo 3D, and had purchased the otterbox case for that as well. My previous otterbox case (partially) lasted me through more than two years, though the hard shell cracked in some locations, entirely falling off the upper right portion of the back. Despite this damage to the case, when I took my old Evo 3D out of its hardcover and flexible silicon sleeve, it looks like I have just taken it out of the package. Oh, I should also mention I am no saint when it comes to keeping my phone safe. A drop once a day is commonplace for me, as I am a fairly heavy phone user.So, with the aforementioned information, I decided to trust Otterbox again. The defender always seemed too bulky, so I picked the commuter case again and woah was I surprised! They have switched the material on their softshell part of the case to a more rigid and far more durable feeling soft plastic that is rigid enough to keep your HTC One in the case without the hardshell, but soft enough that you can easily extract it. The hardshell now fits over and into the softshell and serves as a sort of locking mechanism to keep your phone latched into the case which secures together in a rather seamless and visually appealing case. It also covers up the power and headphone jack with two slits of softshell inbetween hardshell openings that are solid and steadfast enough to require you to actively try to open the port in question, but easy enough to require little actual effort to do so. They also have a satisfying tightness that seems to me to border on water resistance, though I would not like to test that theory any time soon. As an added bonus, the power button is now infinitely easier to locate and press due to the seemingly guiding slope on the case down to the button, leaving the RF open so you can still power your entertainment system. I had a little trouble locating and pressing the button before the case, but now I can find it any press it without even thinking about it very easily. The only problems I can even report about it are that the case is a little too bulky to be able to use in any dock or car port, though it doesn't feel like it, and that the case takes awhile to disassemble if you need to take the phone out. Aside from those things, this is a great case folks!TL/DR Pros/Cons list:ProsMuch improved softshell from previous modelsFits like a glove, feels like it can take a hitMakes power button and volume buttons much easier to useDoes not obscure either microphone or camera or RF blasterComes with a screen protector, if you are into that sorta thingProtective flaps on open spots of phone (Headphone jack, power)Glacier color looks perfect with the Silver HTC oneConsNot compatible with any docks I could findTakes a while to get phone out of case once properly installed into it

I got the "Arctic White" case for my One, and overall, it's a pretty nice case. Here are my thoughts concerning this case:Pros:-The white case looks great on the white HTC one.-Protects your phone very well-Does what a smart phone case needs to do.Cons:-The construction quality (on my case at least) seems subpar of that of other otterbox cases. The seams between the rubber glove for the phone and the plastic shield in some areas have gaps.-The screen protector I received is fit for sitting directly on top of the heaping pile of trash in my apartment's trashcan.Comments:-As I mentioned about the screen protector: I believe it's defective. I noticed right away when I removed the plastic bag holding the screen protector, microfiber cloth, and card thingy to install the screen protector that the protector itself was bent in a corner. But that's just the beginning of my gripes about it; When I went to install it, I could never remove some of the bubbles from particular places in the screen (even with my fingernail, the bubbles never even budged.) After several attempts of using their included card to help installing the protector, I noticed that it was scratching the heck out of the protector. Not deep scratches that you can feel, but they wouldn't buff out with the microfiber cloth. And they are plain as day on the protector too. And for the finale on my rant about the screen protector - There was a little paper tab with instructions to remove it after installing the screen. I decided after a few attempts to just live with a couple minor bubbles and a corner popping up (I hoped the case would hold down the corner). But when I went to remove the tab, the paper ripped like a sticker on paper. This was going to leave even more of a noticeable smudge on the screen from the adhesive. That was the straw that broke the camels back there, I decided to just take off the screen protector and live without it on there. The case will do well enough of keeping the phone from being damaged when it gets dropped, and that's all I need. I keep my phone in a seperate pocket from my keys, so I'm not too worried about the screen getting scratched.

I used to have the Defender Series in the pink color just from being in my purse the rubber became scuffed up and dirty looking. I assumed it was because the rubber was a lighter color the plastic however didn't pick up any. Because this case has darker rubber I haven't had any problems. Also, the Defender has a built in screen protector which was nice but it also had to have the plastic pieces snap together which after removing it to clean my phone I would say about 10 times the little plastic pieces broke off making the case usable. This case has a rubber piece that wraps around your phone and then a plastic piece that wraps around the rubber, so you don't have to worry about any pieces breaking off. The pieces fit together very smoothly theyre almost seamless,the only part that doesn't seem like it is flush with the case is the volume buttons but it doesn't bother me. It does come with a stick on screen protector but in my opinion it's always easier to just go to your phone carriers store and have them put one on for you. I like the color scheme it's a navy blue and a lime green color. I love that all my ports have plugs in them that are easy to maneuver and the sensor power button is not covered. OtterBox cases are made of high-quality materials and fit the phone very nicely. For the Defender case i think that they should come up with a better solution than the plastic snapping together the way it does with tiny pieces of plastic that you unsnap slightly bigger than the size of a staple. Amazon shipped very fast. All in all I will purchase again I love the commuter series I think next time I will go with a more feminine color.. bought the punked because it was on sale.

Pros-Excellent Design & Colour-Material quality (much improved inner case material from the last commuter series I bought for my Droid Spyder XT910)-Good overall build quality as usual from Otter-I like the included screen protector material but fit could be better, (see Cons below)Cons-Can be tricky to get all edges and ports seated properly-Included screen protector is a hair shorter that my HTC One screen, (leaves an annoying edge to catch your finger every time you either swipe the top or bottom edges of the screen)-Port flap at bottom covering the micro usb needs to be slightly longer, (leaves small gap at bottom front edge of the phone)ConclusionOverall you cant go wrong with Otter. I have been buying there products since before they made phone cases and I still have every box and case to this day. Don't bother with the defender series unless how really need the extra dust and water resistance, I generally recommend the commuters to most that would ask. Early production run may account for the slight issues with fit however I would bet that Otter will have this worked out shortly.

They delivered it when they said it would come and it fit my HTC One perfectly. Otterboxes are always a little stiff to get on but they are built to stay on your phone and protect it. I love the colour of it, it is a brighter lime green than the picture shows but I love it because green is my favourite colour. My phone still fits perfectly in my pocket and it came with a screen protector too. The perfect back up if you already have one. The soft shell is a dark blue, just letting you know in case you can't tell from the picture, I didn't expect that when it came but none the less it works great and looks great with the green and on my phone. Hope this helps you.

Looks great, extremely well fit to the phone. Dropped it plenty of times since I got it and there's nothing wrong with it thanks to the OtterBox. One of the best parts is that the soft inner layer also provides a larger rocker for the sound control which was so flush to the side of the phone that it was hard to press. This case adds utility and protection and looks pretty good to boot. The only negative I could possibly even think of is that it makes it larger than without a case but that really goes without saying. Its a small price to pay.

Overall the case is good. Fits my M7 perfectly. Haven't dropped/tested to see if it would protect my phone from breaking but, reviews from other people, friends, and it being an otterbox with the hard shell, and little rising from the screen I have high hopes. The case also has grip which is very helpful. The M7, well for me, has tendency to slip out of my hand time to time. I would recommend this case to anybody.

I love this case! Feels so comfortable in my hand and I really feel that this case protects my phone. I've dropped it a couple times and didn't feel like needed to worry that my phone was damaged in any way. I love the color also, its a nice pastel aqua color, pretty true to the picture online. Buy this case, you won't be disappointed!
