Defender vs Commuter Otterboxes for Iphone 5?

Okayy, I've had the defender before so i know how good it works, i just hate how bulky it is! I've never had the commuter and want to know if it protects an iphone as good as the defender? Since i tend to drop my phone every now and then!

Well… In my tests with both cases. They failed to protect the iphone from all of these:

-bullets
-hammers
-drills
-ghetto people who steal

  • Which otterboxes are the best? For Christmas my sister is getting my mom the iPhone 4 and I don't know which otterbox will be best for her. She doesn't really drop her phone alot & she wants a less bulky one.yk so that he phone isn't like 7in thick
  • What are the smaller otterboxes called? My mom has a big one that is really chunky. My friend has a small one thats pretty much the same size as her phone. The smaller one is on an iphone 4 and the big one is a 4s, but i don't think it really makes a difference. Right? Anyways, I also heard there was like a defender otter box and a commuter otterbox? Basically, I want to buy the small one my friend had.
  • Should i get Otterbox Defender or Commuter? I'm getting an iPhone 4S tomorrow. I'm not a very clumsy person but i do drop my iPod touch occasionally. I want a case that allows my phone to still fit in my pants pocket. It needs to be a sturdy phone and i will put my phone in my backpack for school. Thanks! Needs to be a sturdy CASE not phone
  • Problems with otterboxes and white iPhone 4? I think I read somewhere that people are having trouble with otterboxes not fitting the white iPhone 4 properly. It it true? Why doesn't it fit right? So would you suggest the black iPhone 4 instead?
