 Excellent Quality Item (Updated)Dec 31, 2009
By John N. Twist
I agree with the user feed-back that preceded my review (12-31-09). I bought this item based on their reviews and for my use it is perfect (5 stars). The primary gel cover has (1) barely noticeable pattern of ovals along the edge which facilitate grip, (2) integrated tabs for the docking and earphone ports which feel substantial and are easy to operate, (3) an opening for the ring silencer and (4) a cover over the volume control toggle switch without hindering use. The overall fit on a 3GS is excellent and should provide protection from use in rain. The case does not impede the speaker or camera. The case was easily removed from the front pocket of my jeans and does not attract lint. The screen protector is a tri-laminate sheet with the protector in the center. It has 2 labeled paper tabs that need to be removed in the indicated sequence to apply to the iPhone properly. The protector went on the phone easily with little difficulty and fit nicely. A small plastic card is supplied to facilitate removing entrapped air by pushing on the top layer which is ultimately removed. The result was a virtually unnoticeable clear, bubble and scratch free protector. Make sure you do not touch or contact the protector after the first sheet is removed. It can pick up dust or hair which may be impossible to remove. The protector does not use adhesive so it can be easily removed without leaving residual on the original screen.
UPDATED 01-04-2010: TESLA correctly pointed out that the case is available in a variety of colors. When I did my original search only the black model was highlighted- nothing to indicate other colors were available. My bad... Will order one of these for my 16 year old daughter in the color of her choice.
Bottom Line: I would (and probably will) buy another. It will protect my iPhone without hindering its use. Always use care when docking the iPhone.

 Just what I wantedFeb 05, 2010
By Clift B.
I was looking for something tough but not too bulky to fit in my pocket. This is it! The hard cover makes it slick enough to slide in and out of pocket while the rubber sides make it easy to grip. I do construction work and end up with sand or sawdust in my pockets at the end of the day. The plugs covering the charge port and earphone jack do a great job of keeping the detritus in my pocket and not in my phone! The earphone jack cover is fairly smooth and flush when closed. Looks great, but if you use the jack very often it could be irritating to dig it out with your fingernail every time. Not an issue for me tho.
The cover arrived on time but was missing the clear shell. I called Otterbox and they sent me a new one without any hassles. Cust. Serv. was great!
The only issue I had that would give it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the clear plastic screen protector was a pain. The little tab that helps separate the protector from its backing wouldn't come off. After applying the screen protector I worked for 15 min trying to remove the tab. Had to use alcahol and a plastic scraper to remove it. Needed a little alcohol myself after that! The end result is that the top left corner is buggered up a bit and won't lay down completely. Hardly noticable tho.
Overall a great product! I've had it 3 months now and still lovin it. Would definitely recommend!

Solved problem of gripping the phone and still getting it out of my pocket!Dec 12, 2009
By E. W. Hodges

I have a Speck silicone case that's really grippy, but the thing was too hard to get out of my pants pocket. I still have it, and I used it at Disney World recently (no need to worry about it falling out!).
The Commuter TL has hard plastic on the back, so I can slide it out of my pocket easily and silicone sides so that I can hold onto the phone better. It's a good balance of the two, and I'm very happy with it. I've had it for over a month now, and it's the case that I use daily now.
I have not tried the screen protector that was included with the case.

The best otterbox caseJun 12, 2010
By A. Wilkinson
I own what I believe to be the 3 most popular otterbox iphone cases - Impact, defender, and commuter TL. Defender is a beast, it's huge and built like a tank. I use it for hiking/camping etc. Impact is slim, protects well, and adds a huge amount of grip. The problem is that with all that silicone, the phone can become difficult to get out of your pocket without turning your pocket inside out. The commuter TL case solves this by adding a plastic back, while leaving silicone sides that add some grip. The case feels as slim as the Impact does and protects just as well.

 Nice caseMay 04, 2010
By M. Durbin
"GameGeek"
This has been a great case. Soft enough to cushion when it's dropped, but not all floppy so it moves around on the device. The hard shell makes it slide in and out of your pocket nicely. If I had to say anything bad, it would be that the screen protector is peeling a little bit at the edges where the hard shell comes in actual contact with the phone. I can't be sure that's the fault of the case or my cheap screen protector, though. Definitely would buy it again if I had to.
