Otterbox Commuter Series Case for Samsung Galaxy Note Black - With Screen Protector

Comment:
a bit expensive for this case, but does the job greatly. dropped phone a lot of times and phone survives each one. dropped on carpet, concrete, hallways and other stuff.

The combination of silicone and hard plastic makes for an attractive and very functional case. I haven't dropped my phone yet, but I'm confident when I do that this case will do its job of keeping the thing in working order.Now the gripes. The silicone makes this thing very grippy when trying to slip it in or out of cotton pants pockets, including jeans, slacks, etc. Not bad on polyester.The display cover doesn't have an opening for the ear piece, presumably because my phone is an i717, while the original G-Note is an N7000. The result is that there is a gap above the ear piece that doesn't stick to the surface of the phone. I'm not a big fan of display covers anyway, so I just pulled it off again.Last, and the worst thing about this cover, is that the opening for the micro-USB slot is small. The factory charge cable fits in fine, but several aftermarket connectors do not, or they do with some prying that seems likely to damage the phones connector eventually. I intend to dremel this thing out in the near future, because I need to keep a variety of charge cords at the office, home, vehicle, etc.Overall it's a great case and I would recommend it to users that can live with its weaknesses.
