I've always used either an Otterbox Commuter or Pelican Voyager for my phone. How do you feel this case stacks up protection-wise?

I've dropped the phone with this case several times. Haven't had an issue. The only con is there is absolute no screen protection. That's the one down fall. Other than that I like the case.

i have not had either of those cases. But I have dropped my phone with this case and have not had any problems.

I have dropped my phone a couple times and its ok, and because it has protection on the edges it does give minimal protection. I purchased this because of the card holder and I really DO like this feature. I do not feel it would compare to the protection of an Otterbox, since I have family members that have them.

Alexandra, in all honesty, I can only speak of my experience with Ballistic since I have never purchased an Otterbox case. With that being said, I have been very happy with my Ballistic cases that I have. I have purchase two thus far and when and if I purchase another case, it is almost certainly going to be another Ballistic case.

I don't have a commuter case but from what I can tell the Symmetry is thinner. It's still protects phone however, it's not bulky like some of the other Otterboxes I've seen! (And they have really pretty choices ;) )

I have an otterboc case and honestly it depends on much stuff you have in the wallet. I have packed mine full so the most I can get is my regular hard case in it.

No, the commuter screen protector is more flexible therefore it appears to be not as thick. Seems to offer very good if not same protection though. The commuter is lighter packing, not so plasticky. The front has a cleaner view of the entire face and the defender covers the top and bottom quarters. Thanks for asking. Good Luck! :)

Why risk it?Just get the OtterBox Commuter Wallet case. It's better made, more secure, and holds more.

My Commuter has a soft rubbery insert covering the phone with the additional hard outer cover. It works well protecting the phone from bangs & drops. Am unfamiliar with the Defender.

I received my new Otterbox cover at the beginning of the week and already dropped it several times and without any damage. I did not have a defender but I used the commuter prior to this Otterbox and I believe it has the same protection level without the bulkiness.

The commuter case is not NEARLY as bulky as the defender. Is is much thinner and fits in pockets better. It can still take quite a beating, though.

I love this case. It's slim but still offers protection. I have not ran into any problems using the earphone jack. I would make sure I have a screen protector. It has a bit of a lip but I always opt for double protection for screen. Screen protector does not interfere with case install.

The defender is a more complex case. It is designed to take greater damage. If you drop your phone a lot, like I do, then get the defender. If you want just some protection, but not get too bulky, then get the commuter. I would warn you about the cases for the galaxy s3. The defender's outer shell loses its elasticity very easy. The phone is still protected well.

This CasE Would Be To Much To Have For Daily Use. It Is A Heavy Duty Container That Has A Combo On It. Go To The Pelican Website To Find A Slimmer Version Of This.

Mine did. I have never enjoyed a case like the pelican. I use it as a work box for all my extra supplies. I am an audio engineer and have tons of supplies I MIGHT need.

Coming from a person who drops their phone pretty much everyday, yes this is perfect. Me personally the only cases I use are those made of TPU material. Its somewhat flexible and super shock absorbent, plus its not bulky like a otterbox or leaves the edges exposed and prone to screen shatters like a hard plastic case. I had this same case for my iphone 4, but the company was labeled as Mercury. Bought the lime green and loved it. Ended up buying the red as well.

I have no experience with a defender case so I can't compare. What I can say thought is that it's a bit stiky but if you are serious about protecting your phone there is nothing better. From now on I will first check if otterbox or lifeproff makes a case for the phone I want andthen buy it Hope that helps

I haven't owned an otterbox case. So I can't comment on how this Luvvit case compares to that. I like how sleek the Luvvit case is. I bought an extended warranty for my phone - just in case it's damaged from a hard fall.

Not yet on commuter. And had about 4 weeks and all is good with my case.but did on my defender about two years ago. Call otter box and sent them a pic of it and they sent me a new case, so either way your good.
