The LIVESTRONG themed case from Otterbox takes part of their Commuter Series of cases and it comes with two layers, made from silicone and a durable polycarbonate outer shell. The product supports a noble cause and that is to inspire and empower anyone affected by the cancer disease and will provide funding for RadioShacks' $6 million commitment to support LIVESTRONG and fight against cancer.
The first layer of the case allows us to eject the SIM tray without removing it from the phone:
With the second layer attached, the installation is completed; for an easier fit, we recommend the users to fix it starting from the top of the phone, with the audio jack cover plugged in. The frontal glass screen is protected by both layers of the case:
On the case laterals we will see a combination of the silicone layer (which will mostly cover the phone ports and buttons) and the polycarbonate. Thanks to the hard plastic, the case is not hard to remove from the pocket (does not stick to the interior) as some cases that are made only of silicone from other manufacturers:
The bottom cover can be lifted quite easily when needed:
Here is also a look on the back side of the phone, along with the camera+LED opening:

I can understand that covering those holes will help with dust buildup, but iPHone 4S requires daily charging, so that makes for heavy usage of that tab, and if you like to listing to audio... several times a day that tab for headphone was used. I bought Commuter and Defender in April 2012. I ended up using the Commuter daily with iPhone 4S. Will post some pics this evening of the state of the case and iphone which was placed brand new into the commuter case. |
