Review: OtterBox Commuter Series Case for AT&T Tilt 2

One of the first accessories that I purchase for any smart telephone that I've always endemic is a case to protect my new investment. I've mentioned before that choosing a example for your phone is very similar to the process of choosing the phone itself. A large part of the decision is based on your lifestyle and how you utilise your device.

OtterBox makes some of the most rugged cell telephone cases on the market, though they sometimes cede in the portability/usability department. The OtterBox Driver Series example makes a reasonable compromise between protection and usability.

Design/Features

The OtterBox Commuter Serial offers a laundry listing of features that provide several layers of protection for your Tilt2. The case comes in three parts. First of all is a standard screen protector that protects the display from scuffs and scratches. The example itself features two sides that snap onto either side of your Tilt 2. This design allows you to still use the sliding and tilting features of your telephone. All of the hardware buttons (excluding those on the front face) are covered with heavy duty rubber, greatly reducing the potential for dust and droppings to get trapped in the buttons.

My one complaint nigh the design of the Commuter example is the fact that the ability button is much harder to press with the case on. All of the buttons are harder to use, but the power push button is an order of magnitude more difficult (though anyone who as accidently turned off their screen while trying to type might find this a skilful thing).

Usability

The Driver case does add quite a fleck of depth to the Tilt 2. This will exist a deal breaker for some, though I didn't notice it to be then much of a problem that information technology was unusable. The all-time part well-nigh the Commuter instance is the fact that you can employ the device any style yous would under normal circumstances while still having the protection of a example. The keyboard slides out just as it would without being inside a case, and the screen is not obstructed in any way.

Conclusion

OtterBox makes some of the most rugged cases on the market. The Commuter series balances the level of protection with usability perfectly. While quality is never a business with an OtterBox product, price can be. At $34.95, this is i of the more than expensive cases available; though in my opinion, this case is well worth the cost.
