TEST THE OTTERBOX IPHONE 6 COMMUTER CASE

To ensure a good protection of the iPhone 6, We could see the many models from Spigen here, for iPhone 6 and 6 Plus.
As for Otterbox, its range is already available on three models, each available in various colors.

We discovered together the most protective model, the hull Defender all terrain in this article there a few days ago: integrated protection film, thick double layer and plugs on most openings, not to mention the belt support. Apart from a waterproof hull, there is no more robust.
This week, we will be interested in a model more passe-partout but nevertheless robust because it combines two layers, a rigid, and a flexible. This is the "Commuter", tested in iPhone version 5 here, before seeing the Symmetry sold here, the lightest of Otterbox
The Otterbox Commuter iPhone 6 case is on sale here in various colors
The model tested is white and gray, other combinations are available: blue, black and pink

This hull is made up of two parts. The first, made of soft damping material (gray here), encloses the machine and then fits into a hood (white in our case). Note that it is among the three models of the range, the only one that comes with a screen protector to be installed on the machine (for its part, the Defender case integrates a plastic film).

The installation is easy, in two stages, flexible part then rigid. The hull can be put and removed easily when the need arises.
Once in hand, the hull holds rather well, the back is slightly grainy this avoids sliding the machine.
The design is quite questionable because relatively rectangular, very far from the original curves of the iPhone.

The protection is almost complete, with the exception of the headed logo and the photocell with its flash at the back. On the sides, the buttons are usable through the soft part of the hull, the assembly is protected from falls, as the front by a ledge: no problem for those who like to pose the machine face down against table.

In use, the assembly poses no problem of use. In the event of a fall, the machine seems perfectly protected, on the other hand this is at the price of a rather voluminous protection. The fact of having two distinct parts, even if they seem well assembled, can cause fear that with time there may be some play that appears between the two elements. Otherwise, no worries, the protection aspect is at the rendezvous.
