Unlike many other cases that simple slide onto your phone, the Otterbox commuter case actually adds several protective layers between your Droid and the dangers of everyday use. First, the kit includes a self-adhering protective film for the front of your Droid that is easy to install with the free lint-free cloth and squeegee provided. Once you have this film safely in place you next wrap the phone in the thin layer of silicone the inner case provides. This is then complimented even further by the hard outer case that is finally attached to the Droid to protect it from falls.

While all this protection would seem like it adds bulk to your phone, the folks at Otterbox have done an amazing job of keeping the whole case light and thin. Once installed on your Droid, the Otterbox Commuter Case adds very little weight or thickness. It also feels solid and gives you the impression that it can protect your phone from almost any assault.

The hard outer case is smooth, which makes it easy to slip your phone into a pocket while the silicon corners shield your Droid from almost any impact. There are even silicon covers for the audio jack and charge ports to protect them from the elements until you need to use them. When you do, you can simply flip open the covers and plug in.

Overall the Otterbox Commuter Case for the Motorola Droid provides excellent protection for your phone and looks good doing it.
