Lots of positives, few negatives
By J. Darnell
Compared to the iPhone 4S version of this case this is a complete redesign. Part of that was required because of the new dimension, port locations and size of the iPhone 5, but other parts seem to be a genuine attempt at improvements.

Positives
--Feels very well protected.
--Newer rubber material is more plasticky than previous versions. Better feel, nicer fit and seems less likely to stretch over time. Also doesn't catch when going into the pocket.

Neutral
--Edge on the front glass is significant. This doesn't encumber my typing but I am aware of it. Of course, this is part of the protection of this case and is a fair trade-off in my opinion.
--General thickness. Definitely distracts from the beauty of an iPhone 5. This is not a flaw in the product, though, just a decisions making point for the consumer. That thickness is, once again, a trade-off for protection.

Negatives
--Power button has a ton of resistance while in this case. Not sure if this will break in with time or not.

Having said all of that I recommend this case whole-heartedly if you're looking for a good amount of protection and you're willing to trade some sleekness for it. For me it seems like a significant step up in materials and fit and finish quality over the previous versions.

Offers great protection!
By treken
I am not going to write a complete review, but I have to chime in on an 'issue' people are commenting on regarding this case.

No, this case is not sleek, it's a !@$*& otter box. If you bought this case, or are considering buying this case, it's because you want to protect your phone and prevent any damage from occurring. This phone is perfect for that purpose.

It may not still be as small as just the phone in your pocket, but who expects that when they buy an otter box? This case protects my phone great. It has a silicone insert which you put your phone into first, and then you put it into the hard, outer shell. This case even comes with a screen protector. Well worth the money in my opinion.

And on another note, the power button is not as hard to press as people make it sound, and I am sure it will get easier to press the longer you own the case.

The only thing I might say could be improved upon would be to put rubber on the bottom side of the case (perhaps a rubber bumper in each corner) to prevent it from sliding around. I have noticed when I toss the phone on my desk, it slides quite a bit. Perhaps my desk is just clean, but that's the only thing I could nit pick about this wonderful case.

Solid protection, moderately slim and lightweight
By Gordon Todd
Bottom line: The Otterbox Commuter case is great protection for your iPhone 5 investment. And it's sleeker and lighter than the negative reviews might lead you to believe.

My highest priority was to protect this $400 gadget from damage. I also have preschoolers who are additional risks to anything fragile! Check.

At the same time, I wanted something with good design that would fit unobtrusively in my pants or shirt pocket. Check and check.

Also wanted materials that are durable. Time will tell, but my initial analysis indicates check.

FYI, I compared to the Otterbox Defender, which offers more protection, but is bulkier and more noticeable in my pocket. Also compared it to several different Speck cases, which appeared to offer similar protection at the same price, but did not come with a screen protector. Plus, the Otterbox color combinations, from black/white to lime green/navy, accommodate a range of tastes.

The criticisms in other reviews appear overblown. Regarding on/off switch stiffness, this isn't a factor at all. The case fits the phone perfectly. I didn't notice the "rough" edges on the bottom back because I don't hold it there.

In my four years of owning iPhones, iPads and cases, my experience is that no case is "perfect." If you want solid protection without too much bulk, this case is worth your consideration.

Very convenient, fits great, cards are accessible, but button cover too stiff
By Richard Schramm
I bought this case when I purchased my iPhone 5 as I had a card carrier case from Casemate for my iPhone 4 that I really liked, but it was a bit hard to get the cards out. After using this for a couple weeks, here are my thoughts:

The Good:
- Case fits snugly but can be taken on and off relatively easily due to the flex design.
- Case has a nice bezel around the display so that it does protect the class when set face down.
- Cards slide in pretty easily (much more than my previous case)
- Cards have not slipped out yet and seem to stay secure
- I can put in my drivers license, ATM card, and cash in together which is VERY convenient

The Bad:
- The button covers are very stiff so pushing the top button or volume buttons, you really have to push down hard. If not for that, it would be 5 stars.

Overall: Very good and recommended!

Hope you find this helpful!

Not as good as the CandyShell Card
By Sarah
I had the CandyShell Card case for my iPhone 4 and I liked it much better. I'm still going to hold onto this case because I really like the wallet feature, but I wish they made a CandyShell Card for the iPhone 5.

Why did I like my old case better? The SmartFlex doesn't fit as snugly. I feel like the front screen isn't as well protected because the phone slips slightly in the case so the screen isn't protected behind the raised bezel. I know that seems like a minor thing, but it just doesn't seem like it protects my phone as well, and isn't that the point of a case?

Also, the power button doesn't work as well in this case. I feel like I have to push it harder and it doesn't "click."

On the plus side, though, it seems slimmer than the CandyShell Card. (Maybe that's just because the iPhone 5 itself is slimmer; I'm not sure.) My husband likes this because it is easier to keep in his pocket. I prefer the bulkier CandyShell Card because I feel like it protects my phone better.

And of course it is very convenient to hold 3 cards in my phone.

I also wish there were more color options. I'm not really a fan of any of them. It would be nice to have a classy burgundy, chocolate, or other "jewel tone" colors like navy blue, plum, deep teal, etc. I'd like something more professional-looking.

NOTE: The "Pomodoro" color is just red. The picture makes it look a little muted, but it is a bright red.

UPDATE--3 MONTHS LATER: I recommend getting the black. I got gray and it is showing stains on it. In some places it looks like the material has picked up dye from my jeans and in some places it looks like the finish has worn off. I'm not rough on my phones by any means, so this is disappointing that the case looks dirty. It's not major--definitely still usable without being gross or anything--but I would certainly be worried about getting one of the lighter colors!

Awesome case
By Bernardo Machain
I had an otterbox commuter series case, and I was not happy because it made the iPhone 5 heavy and bulky, not so with this case, I can fit my work ID, driver license and debit card with no issues, the case had a perfect fit and did not add too much to the size or weight of the phone. The camera and flash are not even close to being obstructed which was important to me. Also you don't have to worry about having to fidget with getting your cards, ID, etc out since you can push them out from the other side which makes access to them a breeze. The two cons people might have an issue with is that the bottom headphone jack and charging port are not covered like they are with an otterbox, I found this a convenience but some might object. Also there is no muffle to the speakers as they have little holes to let the sound out which the otterbox did not have. Overall very satisfied and will be ordering one for my daughter as well.

does not fit iphone 5 or 5s
By Travis noble
i have this case it black and green that i bought at best buy and it fits great so then i ordered two more for my wife and father. when i got these it looked the exact same until you try and put them on. both cases didn't fit over the edges of the phone not design wise but like the case had shrunk. i was talking to someone else about this and they had the same problem with the amazon version of this case.

I tried to fit on my 5s and the wife 5 no luck on either

Received 2 Knock-off cases
By MINI
The actual case being advertised (the one manufactured by Belkin) is a fantastic, 5-star case. I know because I spent the $20 at a physical B&M store and have the authentic one on my own iPhone. My husband just got a new iPhone and so he wanted the case for himself and we were so excited to find it at such a good price on Amazon. Until we received it. Amazon, one of your suppliers is supplying you with FAKE cases. I initiated an exchange, and unfortunately, the second case is still a FAKE. So we're returning both and he'll just be shelling out the money for the real one from a store. The fake ones do NOT fit the device correctly-- they are not snug, there are visible gaps between the case and the edge of the phone. The smoky "tinted" sheerness is not the same. And there aren't serial numbers etched on the case. Amazon, please check with your vendors and/or listen to your customers.

So for those of you out there disappointed with this case, try to find one in a B&M store. The authentic Belkin case is quite nice and has definitely helped keep my iPhone in great shape for the last year. And just beware that sometimes "you get what you pay for" and "if it's too good to be true..." I'm sure some lucky Amazon customers received authentic cases, but I bet a lot have also received a fake one (or two), like we did.

Horrible product!
By Onik Nazarian
I was very happy when I first received this case because the color was exactly what I expected.
HOWEVER, when I put the case on it did not fit my iPhone 5S at all. I had trouble pressing the buttons because they were off and the front corners were not protected at all. I absolutely do not recommend this product, very disappointing.

Great for the essentials!
By John B.
I took a chance on this case- I had an Otterbox Defender for my iPhone 5 which I loved but I was intrigued by the idea of not having to carry a wallet for the essentials (driver license, credit card, debit card, and some Cash).

I can fit 3 cards in this case plus two folded bills of Cash. My "go to" card is always on top (it's the easiest to get out) and the case does exactly what I want it to do- carries the essentials so I grab my phone and go. It also protects my phone (it's the Commuter series, so it's not quite as rugged as the Defender but overall it's about the same size which isn't bad at all).

The cards inside are very secure and the case is designed so it's impossible for your stuff to fall out. My one complaint was that the screen protector it came with had stickers on it that didn't peel off cleanly and made it pretty much worthless so I don't use it- but I'm so satisfied with the case that it doesn't affect me giving it 5 stars.

More Trouble Than It Should Be
By Rex Kullmann
I like the idea of a wallet case for my iPhone and doing away with my wallet. The fewer things to carry, the better. But wallet cases are very limited. The idea is that they are cases for occasional use, such as when you are going out for the night and only want to carry an ID and credit card. This wallet case can only carry three cards or two cards and three folded bills.

Otterbox Commuter cases are two piece cases that have a silicone layer covered by a hard shell. They aren’t my favorite because the hardshell doesn’t quite fit right leaving tiny gaps. Two piece cases take more effort to get on and off which is more of a problem on a case made for occasional use. The black on black color scheme turns the handsome iPhone into an all-black design-free box.

Otter likes to put rubber plugs over the jack openings which offers extra protection, but is a pain when you want to charge or plug in headphones. The volume button covers work well, but the on/standby button cover make it stiff and lacking in tactile feel. Otter provides a clear screen protector and applicator card.

Cards fit in the wallet case by sliding down the back panel revealing the compartment. The slide is stiff and there is no grip for your finger to press against. You have to press against smooth sloping plastic. When you get the slide open, you have to dig you finger nail under the top card so you can pry it up and out.

This wallet case is too much trouble for me. But if it fits your needs, this case should offer good protection and durability. Two and a half stars.

The geek equivalent of the double-edged sword
By Steve Ruskin
This is another well made case from Otterbox. I've had Otterbox cases for my iPhones and iPads and they've always performed well. They aren't stylish, but they protect your device. I've used them for travel mostly, and have never been disappointed.

This "Wallet Case" checks all the usual Otterbox, um, boxes: Protective? Check. Grippy? Check. 80's Volvo-like Styling? Check. Yep, it's an Otterbox all right.

But one with a twist. Because this case resolves that nagging dilemma we all have: how do I carry my iPhone AND my credit and ID cards in one place?

Dilemma resolved. This case is that place.

Otterbox added a sliding tray on the back of one of their tough cases. From the front and back and the added "bump" isn't noticeable. In profile however or in the palm of your hand it's there alright. Think of the top of a 747 and you'll get the idea. A little curvature on an otherwise continuous line.

In that bump of a tray you can fit a pair of credit cards and your driver's license. Great for the minimalist traveler or a night out clubbing. That is if you go to hipster clubs where geeky dual-purpose cases are cool.

I don't go to clubs like that. I don't go to clubs. But if I did, this is the case I would take.

Go ahead and drop it while dancing crazily to the DJ's Devo dub: both your iPhone and credit cards will be just fine.

Just don't lose it. Then you'll never be able to call that girl in the Warby Parker frames who put her number into your phone. Plus you'll have no way to pay for the cab ride home. Double bummer, dude.

So there you go. The "OtterBox Commuter Series Wallet Case for iPhone 5 & 5S"--the geek equivalent of the double-edged sword.

Great screen protector!

As easy to install as any of the other screen protectors I've used, the retina display colors are barely muted at all, and it's so nice not having oily fingerprint smudges on my iphone screen all the time. Would definitely get these again!

Awesome!!!!!!!
By Kenny Arnone
I purchased this case from Lifeproof directly because I was on a list to recieve 1 of the first ones sold> The case works perfectly! I will tell you though the there are a few things you need to pay attention to **BEFORE** you install the case.

1) MAKE SURE all of your fingerprint coding is done PRIOR to installation of the case
2) DO NOT SKIP THE WATER TEST !!!!!! There is a membrane barrier over the touch ID button and if it is compromised in ANY way , you need to know before installation
3) After you do the water test, and install the case on your phone be ***VERY, VERY CAREFULL*** when removing the touch sensor overlay. Make sure you push the membrane over the touch button (you will see what I am talking about when you get the case). After you smooth it out on the button, DO NOT pull accessively on it, but remove it slowly and smoothly or you will stretch out the membrane film. I had 2 of these and bought one for my buddy , he installed his a little impatiently and pulled it off too quick and the membrane pulled up along with the adhesive and would not re-seat properly........ lesson learned!

As for the case itself, I LOVE IT!! It works perfectly and is very consistent . You have to know that you should not use it gently (meaning do not just rest your finger for the touch ID lightly as this may not allow the scan), you can put normal pressur on it and you should. Everything else about this case work just as any other Lifeproof case. I have just ordered 2 more(1 for my wife phone and 1 for my cousin, both in White/Gray)

I am a stickler for detail and can honestly say I look for "everything "that could be an issue. I can say with all honesty that this is an excellent case and another Plus for Lifeproof. The only con is that it only comes in 2 colors right now but I am sure that will be changing shortly. And I think if you really wanted another color , you can use an Iphone 5 back because they are the same.

Hope this helps anyone who is not sure how well it works!!!

Excellent Protection but a few quirks
By John
I bought this case as soon as it came it. I am one of those people who like to drop their phone and try to catch it with their foot, but wind up punting it across the room instead. Hence, I needed a case that provides a lot of protection. Most of friends raved about Lifeproof and I felt like I'd give it a try. Right out of the box I felt a bit ripped off because the front cover felt very flimsy without a phone inside of it. I decided that I spent the money so I would persevere. The "test" of the case to verify it is waterproof was actually really cool and my case passed on the first try. I dried it off and slapped my phone inside. This was 3 months ago. Having used this case I must say that it does a fabulous job with protection and the "flimsy" front that I originally worried about is all part of the design to make sure you do not lose any functionality with the touch screen. My phone has been dropped on the ground/table/deck, in puddles, the ocean, and God knows how many other places without any damage to my phone. Flawless protection. Audio quality is great with no notable distortion of sound quality while the case is on and using either the internal microphone speaker with the phone or the speakerphone setting. Same goes for music distortion. Buttons work well through the case but be aware the "silent" mode switch is inverted. The fit for the power/transfer cable is tight with aftermarket units but I didn't have a problem with the OEM Apple cable. There is much to love and little to hate about this case but, no review is complete without a few caveats on the frustrations created with this items use. I have only three things that bother me with this case:

1) The waterproof feature also makes it air proof and when sealing/closing the case, an air bubble can form in the home button recess causing the fingerprint scanner to not function. This is fixed by pressing your thumb into the recess while closing the case.
2) Finger Print Scanner frustrations. This ties in with the first one a bit, but you really have to make sure your fingerprints entered into your iPhone 5S are of your entire finger. I have entered my finger prints 3x and have got a good read now. I wound up intentionally placing my finger/thumb on the scanner from left to right to front to back over and over until it accepted the scan and using this method (versus the standard hold phone and place finger/thumb on scanner in basically the same manner repeatedly).
3) Headphone jack - If you do not have the standard iPhone earbuds or use the included audio jack adapter provided with the case you will struggle when trying to use the headphone jack. I use my phone to listen to music and podcasts during my work commute every morning and had to place the audio jack adapter in my car to allow me to hook it up to my car stereo. This is only an annoyance because of how often I have to screw in the adapter. If you don't use your phone like I do (or use the Apple earbuds) you won't ever notice.

Overall I'd recommend this case to anyone looking for a great means to protect your iPhone 5S. If you can address/live with the items that bug me you won't have any other complaints.

Dont buy this from Amazon if you want the Total Water Protection Plan Warranty!
By Mermaid
I am so disappointed in Amazon on this. This rating is due to the fact that Lifeproof will NOT warranty your phone if you purchase this case from Amazon. Only Lifeproof themselves or Verizon can sell the case with the (for the extra $10) Total Water Protection Plan warranty . Although Lifeproof lets you think you can just pay the $10 for this plan on their website, when you try to buy it, it automatically adds the case to your cart. Amazon dropped the ball on this and Lifeproof should not allow Amazon to sell, if we the consumer cannot buy the protection plan. Who cares that only the case has a warranty! Its the $ 800 phone I am trying to protect! I hope Amazon puts a disclaimer on their site, so people understand just exactly what they are buying, or NOT buying when they order this case.

Work for iPad but not USB devices
By Mark
The packaging for the Scosche USBC202M dual iPad charger states "Works with iPad ... Android Devices"
That is misleading.

Short version: if the technical info below means nothing to you, don't buy this charger to use with any device except the iPad:

===
This will apparently charge the iPad at the full 2.1 amp rate (I haven't tried it with two iPads but based on other reviews assume it will do that too).

However, I bought two of these - for my iPad AND two different cell phones (Samsung Galaxy Nexus, Android and HTC HD2, Windows Mobile) which can both be charged at around 1 amp but neither of which will charge at more than 0.5 amp using this charger - the same rate achieved from a computer USB slot.
Other car chargers work just fine, using this one actually causes my Samsung phone to have less battery after a few hours driving than when I started.
This is also not immediately apparent because the phones look like they are charging but when you watch the charge over a few hours, or (with the Samsung) check the charging status, it says "USB charging".

This is caused by a USB/iDevice design challenge; to protect computers, early USB spec stated that no USB device may draw more than 0.5 amp unless the computer agrees to it. Later USB specs allow the two USB data pins to be shorted to go up to 1.7 amps - this is what my phone needs. As I understand it, the iPad requires specific signals on the 2 data lines to use the full 2.1 amp charge rate, and if connected to a charger that has shorted data pins - i.e. one that works well for most phones, will not charge at the full rate, if it charges at all. All this regardless of the maximum charge current the charger can provide.

My workaround is to acquire a cable that shorts the data pins for just the outlet I want to use with the phone.

Otherwise, for anyone that has two iPads, this is a super device - the smallest dual port iPad (2x 2.1A) charger I have seen yet and I love the low profile (most vehicle chargers consume way too much space outside of the vehicle outlet).

It would have given 3 stars if it had not used misleading wording on the packaging, 4 stars if the packaging had pointed out the USB challenges, and 5 stars if it had a mechanical or electronic switch to make it compatible with other modern USB devices.

Needs a 'charge only' cable for Google Nexus 7

As many reviews before state, this charger is designed for Apple devices. It requires a charge only cable to comply with the USB standards required by many android devices, which includes the Google Nexus 7.

Great and powerful charger but you need a "charge only cable" for USB Devices!
By Techguru
The charger is great and provides an AC charge to my Samsung Galaxy S3. This basically means that using the charger with a "charge only" USB cable will make your phone think that it is plugged into the wall. Apple products DO NOT have this issue with charging on USB chargers as the technology that developed with the Apple charging system was designed to circumvent that specific problem. Apple users are good to go with any of their native cables. If you have an Android device, you will need to purchase a "charge only" USB cable...I cannot emphasize that enough!

Normal USB cables carry both data and charge and the data "communicates" with the USB effectively limiting the amount of power that can be received from a USB charger.

I can run GPS/Bluetooth /music/video and everything in between all a once and my phone will still charge via AC as confirmed on my GS3's charging screen. Normally it would say "USB charge" if i used my phones normal USB cable.

Here is the selection of "charge only" USB cables from 3BR Powersports, LLC that I use: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aag/main?ie=UTF8&asin=&isAmazonFulfilled=&isCBA=&marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER&orderID=&seller=ATHXXHPG0APQN

The fit for the power/transfer cable is tight with aftermarket units but I didn't have a problem with the OEM Apple cable. There is much to love and little to hate about this case but, no review is complete without a few caveats on the frustrations created with this items use. I have only three things that bother me with this case:

1) The waterproof feature also makes it air proof and when sealing/closing the case, an air bubble can form in the home button recess causing the fingerprint scanner to not function. This is fixed by pressing your thumb into the recess while closing the case.
2) Finger Print Scanner frustrations. This ties in with the first one a bit, but you really have to make sure your fingerprints entered into your iPhone 5S are of your entire finger. I have entered my finger prints 3x and have got a good read now. I wound up intentionally placing my finger/thumb on the scanner from left to right to front to back over and over until it accepted the scan and using this method (versus the standard hold phone and place finger/thumb on scanner in basically the same manner repeatedly).
3) Headphone jack - If you do not have the standard iPhone earbuds or use the included audio jack adapter provided with the case you will struggle when trying to use the headphone jack. I use my phone to listen to music and podcasts during my work commute every morning and had to place the audio jack adapter in my car to allow me to hook it up to my car stereo. This is only an annoyance because of how often I have to screw in the adapter. If you don't use your phone like I do (or use the Apple earbuds) you won't ever notice.

Overall I'd recommend this case to anyone looking for a great means to protect your iPhone 5S. If you can address/live with the items that bug me you won't have any other complaints.

Dont buy this from Amazon if you want the Total Water Protection Plan Warranty!
By Mermaid
I am so disappointed in Amazon on this. This rating is due to the fact that Lifeproof will NOT warranty your phone if you purchase this case from Amazon. Only Lifeproof themselves or Verizon can sell the case with the (for the extra $10) Total Water Protection Plan warranty . Although Lifeproof lets you think you can just pay the $10 for this plan on their website, when you try to buy it, it automatically adds the case to your cart. Amazon dropped the ball on this and Lifeproof should not allow Amazon to sell, if we the consumer cannot buy the protection plan. Who cares that only the case has a warranty! Its the $ 800 phone I am trying to protect! I hope Amazon puts a disclaimer on their site, so people understand just exactly what they are buying, or NOT buying when they order this case.

Almost Perfect
By Nicholas Ehlers
I ordered this case in anticipation of my iPhone 5 coming in. I actually had it for about a week before I got my phone. My only real concern with the case as I awaited my phone delivery turned out to be valid, and the main reason I give 4 stars instead of five.

This case is excellent. Its textured body not only feels good in the hand, but helps with grip. The kickstand on the back of the case is very handy, being that it's bi-directional (able to sit sturdy in either portrait or landscape position). The phone is more than steady enough on it, even when set upright in portrait position. One unexpected benefit from the kickstand is that I find myself opening up and using it as a finger hole, even when I don't intend to set the phone down. If I'm going to use the phone for longer than a couple of seconds, I'll pop the stand out and slide my ring finger through it. This serves as a kind of handle that makes me even less likely to drop the phone.

One of the smaller problems with the case, as mentioned by other reviewers, is that the tracks for the kickstand on the back (as well as a small space underneath the tracks) are open, leaving a portion (albeit a small one) of the phone exposed. I'm not really concerned with damage occurring as a result of this exposure. However, it does allow for more dirt and dust to get into the case. I actually purchased a back protector for my phone so that I wouldn't have to worry about this issue.

The bigger problem with this case (and, as mentioned above, the reason for one less star) is that it doesn't offer complete protection when off of the included holster. The pictures as listed on the item page on Amazon are shot with a black iPhone 5. Set against the black color of the case, it makes the coverage a little harder to see. A white iPhone 5 would betray the lack of coverage much easier (which I suspect is why they didn't use one in any of the photos). The last photo (as of the time of this review), one shot from the reverse with the kickstand out, shows just how little coverage there is on the top front (and subsequently the bottom front) of the phone. This isn't much of an issue when the phone is in the holster. However, we tend not to use the phone in its holster (bluetooth accessories not withstanding). We are much more likely to drop the phone when holding it against our ears, or when pulling it out of the holster (or a pocket or purse). All four rear corners are covered by the back of the case, but all four front corners are almost fully exposed. If the phone were to be dropped on a hard or uneven surface, there is a good chance for damage to the exposed parts. There simply isn't a good reason for the lack of protection on those corners.

Overall I find the case to be excellent. I use my phone to talk (duh) and for a lot of podcasts/music listening. To facilitate that I have a nice bluetooth stereo headset. My phone stays in its holster most of the time, so it's protected. But the case would be perfect if it just had front corner protection!

Oh, wow!
By Kingmonkey
Oh, very very nice case. The grip is smooth rubbery so you grip it well. The bumper protects the sides with slots opened on the side for volume rocker access and top and bottom (though not completely covered to allow access to charger port and power button atop, vertical sides are completely covered/protected). The feel of the bumper feels very minimalist, as close to the phone's original feel with a bumper (I've troed other bumpers), still feels like I am experiencing the phone itself without bulk...yes, without bulk. Wow. the bumper can slip in and out of the holster without too much effort, but still with some resistance to keep it secure. The holster clip rotates so you can wear it vertical or horizontal and the inside holster has some fuzzy padding to protect the iphone screen when you slip it inside the holster (so the screen faces inside the holster to protect it while in the holster). When I put it all together the thought came to me "I should buy an extra . . . but I see no need to as this holster will lasts for the life of the phone." I would buy another . . it is that good and I am that happy with it. (The only thing from the actual item from the photo is the holster clip is shown as unbranded, plain no brand name, the one that came has the brand name in white lettering on the clip itself, which is not a bad thing and no one can see the clip when it is clipped to you). The price, under $10, you cannot beat! Last, kickstand is also, snaps into place and it strands vertically, do not think it works horizontally, so on your table instead of it laying flat, it stands up vertically for you to look at. I have to say again, the bumper case when I hold it in my hand, it feels good, not bulky, as close as you can get to the original iphone feel with a bumper; I guess it is fairly thin, and comfortable to type with it on.

My advice to you . . . get yours before they are sold out, seriously, these are really nice and a good fit!

Great case
By OctaviousMonk
This I the same case verizon sells for 3 times more. I had this on my iPhone 4S and love it so much I got one for my iPhone 5. Fits phone well, kick stand rocks, feels great in your hand and the holster keeps it right at the top of my pocket out of danger from keys and other stuff. Put a screen protecter on and your set. Highly recommend it.

Great for the essentials!
By John B.
I took a chance on this case- I had an Otterbox Defender for my iPhone 5 which I loved but I was intrigued by the idea of not having to carry a wallet for the essentials (driver license, credit card, debit card, and some Cash).

I can fit 3 cards in this case plus two folded bills of Cash. My "go to" card is always on top (it's the easiest to get out) and the case does exactly what I want it to do- carries the essentials so I grab my phone and go. It also protects my phone (it's the Commuter series, so it's not quite as rugged as the Defender but overall it's about the same size which isn't bad at all).

The cards inside are very secure and the case is designed so it's impossible for your stuff to fall out. My one complaint was that the screen protector it came with had stickers on it that didn't peel off cleanly and made it pretty much worthless so I don't use it- but I'm so satisfied with the case that it doesn't affect me giving it 5 stars.

More Trouble Than It Should Be
By Rex Kullmann
I like the idea of a wallet case for my iPhone and doing away with my wallet. The fewer things to carry, the better. But wallet cases are very limited. The idea is that they are cases for occasional use, such as when you are going out for the night and only want to carry an ID and credit card. This wallet case can only carry three cards or two cards and three folded bills.

Otterbox Commuter cases are two piece cases that have a silicone layer covered by a hard shell. They aren’t my favorite because the hardshell doesn’t quite fit right leaving tiny gaps. Two piece cases take more effort to get on and off which is more of a problem on a case made for occasional use. The black on black color scheme turns the handsome iPhone into an all-black design-free box.

Otter likes to put rubber plugs over the jack openings which offers extra protection, but is a pain when you want to charge or plug in headphones. The volume button covers work well, but the on/standby button cover make it stiff and lacking in tactile feel. Otter provides a clear screen protector and applicator card.

Cards fit in the wallet case by sliding down the back panel revealing the compartment. The slide is stiff and there is no grip for your finger to press against. You have to press against smooth sloping plastic. When you get the slide open, you have to dig you finger nail under the top card so you can pry it up and out.

This wallet case is too much trouble for me. But if it fits your needs, this case should offer good protection and durability. Two and a half stars.

The geek equivalent of the double-edged sword
By Steve Ruskin
This is another well made case from Otterbox. I've had Otterbox cases for my iPhones and iPads and they've always performed well. They aren't stylish, but they protect your device. I've used them for travel mostly, and have never been disappointed.

This "Wallet Case" checks all the usual Otterbox, um, boxes: Protective? Check. Grippy? Check. 80's Volvo-like Styling? Check. Yep, it's an Otterbox all right.

But one with a twist. Because this case resolves that nagging dilemma we all have: how do I carry my iPhone AND my credit and ID cards in one place?

Dilemma resolved. This case is that place.

Otterbox added a sliding tray on the back of one of their tough cases. From the front and back and the added "bump" isn't noticeable. In profile however or in the palm of your hand it's there alright. Think of the top of a 747 and you'll get the idea. A little curvature on an otherwise continuous line.

In that bump of a tray you can fit a pair of credit cards and your driver's license. Great for the minimalist traveler or a night out clubbing. That is if you go to hipster clubs where geeky dual-purpose cases are cool.

I don't go to clubs like that. I don't go to clubs. But if I did, this is the case I would take.

Go ahead and drop it while dancing crazily to the DJ's Devo dub: both your iPhone and credit cards will be just fine.

Just don't lose it. Then you'll never be able to call that girl in the Warby Parker frames who put her number into your phone. Plus you'll have no way to pay for the cab ride home. Double bummer, dude.

So there you go. The "OtterBox Commuter Series Wallet Case for iPhone 5 & 5S"--the geek equivalent of the double-edged sword.

Lifeproof nuud 5s / fre / Incipio Atlas ID comparison
By Dennis E Chung
I used a LifeProof fre case on my iPhone 4s for 2 years, then switched to an Incipio Atlas ID when I upgraded to the 5s. I have settled on the nuud for my 5s; it suits my needs best, which may differ from yours.

I had issues with Newton's rings on the screen of my 4s with the fre, the rainbow effect where the wavy screen protector comes into contact with the screen. Also the rubber corners of the front half wore through and required warranty replacement after one year. The same thing happened after the second year but the case was out of warranty. I also ruined one phone when water leaked in while swimming and had to foot the bill for a replacement phone. Finally the charging port hinged cover cracked, but was still useable so I lived with it.

The Atlas ID is a solid case, but the glass screen protector made the touch screen much less sensitive and required hard presses. Incipio replaced the case and the second one was better, but still far from responsive. The Atlas ID does accept most standard headphone jacks without their included waterproof pigtail. I also had more comments that I was hard to hear when placing calls.

I have had no complaints about call clarity with the nuud, and I can hear callers well. The speaker seems to work better than the fre, but I rarely use it anyway.

All the cases have similarly responsive volume, power, and slide switch covers. The most difficult to actuate is the slide switch, and the Atlas ID has a small advantage but negligible.

The nuud has no built-in screen protector which is their selling point. They do include a stick-on protector to be applied after the case is installed, but it is far from ideal. It is cut too small - approx. 1/16" both ways so that the edge is clearly visible and creates an unsightly gap between its edge and the case gasket. I installed then removed it. Instead I used a MediaDevil full screen protector under the case and have had no issues. The MediaDevil is relatively thin; a thicker protector may cause issues with closing/sealing the case. The case is a bit harder to snap shut but seems to seal just as well. What I like best is that the screen is just as responsive as a bare phone, and just as clear.

Both the nuud and Atlas ID allow use of the fingerprint scanner, but neither work as well as the bare phone. Both cases have a recess for the home button and make it feel like you are sticking your thumb down into a hole. Thus you cannot use the pad of your thumb, just the tip. I have to try a couple times to get it to work, rarely does either work on the first try. The Atlas ID uses a fancy convex membrane over the home button while the nuud has a clear flexible plastic (vinyl?) film. I would not recommend using a fingernail to press the home button for fear of tearing the film. The film is somewhat tacky and when you press the home button you can hear it releasing at the edges. Also the clear film looks like a poorly applied screen protector with small bubbles and voids over the home button. I tried several times to remedy this to no avail.

The same film is used over the camera flash, but the lens is covered with glass as is the front-facing lens. Not sure why they didn't cover the flash with glass as in the fre. (EDIT: Upon further thought I think the flexible film over the flash acts as a pressure reducing diaphragm. For instance if you went from a hot tub into a cool pool, the resulting temperature/pressure differential would create a situation where water might get sucked into the case. Instead the film will flex and relieve pressure on the seals by allowing a small change in the interior volume. The home button cover won't do this since it is supported by the button whereas the flash cover has air space below it.)

The nuud is a more solid case than the fre as the case needs to be strong enough to apply constant pressure to the screen gasket. The nuud also has a rubber surround on the front half like the fre, but it is thicker and does not seem integral to sealing as in the fre so I am less concerned about it wearing.

All the cases are relatively slim - much less bulky than an OtterBox Defender. Both the nuud and fre have front rubber edges but still slide in and out of my pocket easily. The Altas ID has plastic edges and is the most slick.

Both the fre and nuud have the same headphone port sealing plug, but the nuud has a tether to keep it attached. Almost all headphones will require the use of the pigtail. This is one clear advantage of the Atlas ID which accepted all my headphones without the pigtail. The Atlas ID has a tethered rubber plug that sandwiches between the case and opening bottom cover to seal the port.

Regarding water resistance, I would trust the Atlas ID over both Lifeproofs. Incipio will stand behind water damage and warranty your phone as well as the case, Lifeproof will not. (This may only apply to cases bought direct from Incipio, you should verify if you want to rely on the warranty.) Not only that, I have previous unfortunate experience with the fre, and the nuud already comes with a 2 X 3.5" hole in it.

When I received my nuud, I noticed a tiny shaving of curled plastic stuck in the gasket. Had I not removed it, it would have been lodged between the glass and gasket and certainly impaired the seal. The gasket is silicone and does attract dust.

But I do not plan on submerging my phone for any duration. I mainly like the waterproof cases for keeping dust out of the ports and for being able to take them into the shower and wash them daily. For this I trust the nuud is dunkable and have not noticed any water ingress.

I don't use my headphone jack much so I can live with the pigtail requirement. When I do listen to music I reach for my bluetooth phones which don't sound as good but avoid the issue of the pigtail.

So for my needs the nuud suits me best and thus the 5 stars. The screen sensitivity is as stock which is important to me. But if you use the headphone port daily or require a waterproof case that guarantees your phone, you might be happier with the Atlas ID. Just be advised the glass screen protector will require harder presses which hampers texting.

If you don't need a waterproof/dustproof case, don't get one. They all have compromises, but fortunately the nuud has ones I can live with.

Good protection, not terribly convenient
By James Tyler Dancy
I purchased this for an iPhone 5 after having previously used the "Fre" version that covers the actual screen. This one fits well and it is nice having the tactile touch of the actual screen. And while the case is less bulkly than the alternative Lifeproof it still feels slightly "clumsy". For example, swiping up from the bottom of the screen (using iOS 7), the perimeter of the case that outlines the screen gets in the way. You have to very carefully touch as far down as you can in order to do a swipe that the phone recognizes to pull up the shortcut menu. Is this a dealbreaker for a durable case? No, but it can be very annoying after you've tried several times to get it right. Another thing that I do not like it having to use the adaptor for the headphone jack. I get it, you have to keep the headphone jack sealed when not in use to avoid dirt/water getting in. But if I am somewhere and want to use the headphone jack and forgot my adaptor what are my options? Oh, just take the case off the phone so you can plug in the headphone jack.

Pros:
- Relatively lightweight/non-bulky case that offers good protection
- Ability to touch the actual screen is nice
- Good build quality
- Headphone screw thingie is tethered to case, unlike "Fre" model - No worries about losing it
- Aesthetics. Nice looking case

Cons:
- Difficult to access perimeter of screen due to design of the case
- Forgot your headphone adaptor? Open the case to access the jack
- Difficult to open the charging port cover
- Will not accept 3rd party chargers - they are too wide to fit in the enclosed area
- Using front camera (selfies, FaceTime, etc.) has a mild haze and the protective part of case covers the front camera

Great Case but NO Warrenty
By Jeff
I've read many reviews about how great the case is but that Lifeproof will not honor the warranty. I called them (1-888-533-0735) and verified that this is true. Even though this is purchased from a Lifeproof Amazon Store and the case even has a serial number on it, Life proof will not honor cases sold on Amazon (or Ebay). They will honor stores that they ship directly to such as AT&T, Verizon, Walmart, Bestbuy.
I give it 5 starts for the case itself but dropping it down to 2 because of they won't replace a defective case bought through Amazon.
