The OtterBox Commuter TL is probably the most popular pink iPhone case out there. OtterBox has two very popular lines of cases, including the Defender line and the Impact line. The Commuter TL is kind of a mish-mash of those, combining the best aspects of both to form one super case, which is available in a beautiful pink color.
How is different?
While similar to the Defender and Impact cases that it replaces, one major difference in the Commuter TL is that it moves the silicon casing from the outside of the case to the inside, and moves the hard plastic shell from the inside to the outside. Really, it’s kind of the opposite of the other two in this respect, though it uses the same materials.
On top of the outer plastic shell there is another piece of silicon for added protection, and then on top of that a polycarbonate center. That’s right, you get four layers of protection, all without making the iphone feel excessively thick or bulky.
What does it protect?
The Otterbox Commuter TL pink iPhone case doesn’t only protect the body of the phone. That extra piece of silicon helps give added protection to the oft scuffed corners of the iPhone, and the Commuter TL case also includes a built-in screen protector, which is a great bonus since many cases still leave the iPhone’s screen exposed.
What’s so great about it?
Aside from the added protection, the Otterbox Commuter TL has many advantages to other pink iPhone cases. Remember that extra layer of polycarbonate on the outside? What you may not realize upon seeing that is just how convenient it is. That surface is nice and slick against fabric, so that it slides easily in and out of your pocket. If you’ve used other cases before, especially ones with external silicon casing, you know that it can make the iPhone difficult to get in and out of your pocket. That annoyance is now gone, as the Commuter TL pink iPhone case slides in and out of your pocket with ease. That outer silicon layer is also nice and textured to give added protection.
One of the best featurs of the Commuter TL though is that it does not obstruct any of the iPhone’s buttons or ports. The home button, volume buttons, mute switch, and power button are all easily accessible. Further, the dock port and headphone jack are covered by silicon flaps, meaning that they’re not only easily accessible, but also are protected from dust when not in use. The lens for the camera is also completely unobstructed, so unlike with some pink iPhone cases you will still be able to snap photos without having to take your iPhone out of its case.
We also found the case extremely easy to grip, which is a remarkable given how easily the phone slips out of your pocket. The outer silicon layer has little ovals engraved in it that aid with grip, and since the hard surface that aids in pocket removal does not protrude to the edge of the case, it does not make the iPhone case slippery when you are holding it in your hand.
All in all, the OtterBox Commuter TL pink iPhone case is one of our favorite pink iPhone cases. It is available on Amazon for the reasonable price of $20.99.
