Introduction

How many of you are daily commuters? If you are, you know all about the struggle to get from home to work or school and back again. The fight for a spot on the train and the high paced bump and grind through the city streets. I spent many days through this rather hair raising ordeal in which I have had coffee spilled on me, had my bag knocked off my shoulder, and worse yet, had my phone knocked out of my hand. Many days, I have wondered if there would ever be a way to keep my things safe, like my clothes from being soaked in coffee and from having my phone broken by careless people participating in the rat race.

Of all the things about my commute that I hate the most, it would have to be the fact that I have broken several phones, which have cost me more money than I would like to admit, especially since insurance is hard to get for the iPhone. I have tried many cases, some thin but slippery, others secure but bulky. None have met in the middle with good protection from having it bumped out of my hand, yet fit comfortably in my pocket. This has been the case until I received the new iPhone case from Otterbox with a fitting name.

The Otterbox Commuter TL is a soft and hard hybrid iPhone case. The Otterbox Commuter TL features a rubber sleeve that is secured within a hard shell, outer lining. The rubber surface of the sleeve keeps the iPhone securely in your hands and the hard outer shell helps to protect the phone should you manage to drop it anyway.
