Amazon.com Product Description
Fusing rugged elements from the Defender Series line and sleek characteristics from the Impact Series, the Otterbox Commuter TL case for iPhone 3G/3GS in black offers the best of both worlds of on-the-go protection. An inverse design of the Defender, the Commuter's hard plastic is now on the outside of the case with protective silicone on the inside. And this TL version has inner coring along the vertical sides that provides added bump and shock protection while the one piece custom molded polycarbonate shell provides impact resistance. 
The OtterBox Commuter TL case for iPhone 3G/3GS in black. | The Commuter TL was designed to highlight the true beauty of the iPhone in three slender, yet sturdy layers: - First, a self-adhering screen cover protects from scratches (touch screen remains completely functional).
- Second, a silicone skin wraps over the device to protect corners from bump and shock. Dust intrusion is reduced with the use of silicone plugs over audio port and dock connector.
- Finally, a smooth one-piece, custom molded polycarbonate shell hugs tightly around the silicone allowing the case to slide easily into a pocket or purse.
Note that it does not offer protection against water. Features & Specifications - All buttons are fully functional through the case
- Exposed silicone corners dissipate impact away from your device with added bump and shock protection
- Sleek, stylish design
- Textured impact-resistant silicone
- Smooth outer layer allows case to slide easily into your pocket or purse
- Silicone plugs provide access to audio jack and charge port
- Self-adhering clear protective film, cleaning cloth and installation card included

 Excellent Quality Item (Updated) December 31, 2009

I agree with the user feed-back that preceded my review (12-31-09). I bought this item based on their reviews and for my use it is perfect (5 stars). The primary gel cover has (1) barely noticeable pattern of ovals along the edge which facilitate grip, (2) integrated tabs for the docking and earphone ports which feel substantial and are easy to operate, (3) an opening for the ring silencer and (4) a cover over the volume control toggle switch without hindering use. The overall fit on a 3GS is excellent and should provide protection from use in rain. The case does not impede the speaker or camera. The case was easily removed from the front pocket of my jeans and does not attract lint. The screen protector is a tri-laminate sheet with the protector in the center. It has 2 labeled paper tabs that need to be removed in the indicated sequence to apply to the iPhone properly. The protector went on the phone easily with little difficulty and fit nicely. A small plastic card is supplied to facilitate removing entrapped air by pushing on the top layer which is ultimately removed. The result was a virtually unnoticeable clear, bubble and scratch free protector. Make sure you do not touch or contact the protector after the first sheet is removed. It can pick up dust or hair which may be impossible to remove. The protector does not use adhesive so it can be easily removed without leaving residual on the original screen.
UPDATED 01-04-2010: TESLA correctly pointed out that the case is available in a variety of colors. When I did my original search only the black model was highlighted- nothing to indicate other colors were available. My bad... Will order one of these for my 16 year old daughter in the color of her choice.
Bottom Line: I would (and probably will) buy another. It will protect my iPhone without hindering its use. Always use care when docking the iPhone.
Solved problem of gripping the phone and still getting it out of my pocket! December 12, 2009

I have a Speck silicone case that's really grippy, but the thing was too hard to get out of my pants pocket. I still have it, and I used it at Disney World recently (no need to worry about it falling out!).
The Commuter TL has hard plastic on the back, so I can slide it out of my pocket easily and silicone sides so that I can hold onto the phone better. It's a good balance of the two, and I'm very happy with it. I've had it for over a month now, and it's the case that I use daily now.
I have not tried the screen protector that was included with the case.

I am really impressed with this case. Very high quality and good price. Some other sleeve type cases just have cutouts around the buttons, this case has the buttons molded into the sleeve making them easier to use than without the sleeve Also, the plastic case that goes over the sleeve prevents the normal peeling off issue when you are trying to pull the phone out of you pocket. The ports for the headphones and the iPod jack are covered but open easily. I really considered the otter box defender but decided it was too bulky. This case has a lot of perks like the defender in a much nicer form factor. I also onsidered the Agent 18 but I was concerned that the plastic case would scratch the phone because it does not have a solid rubber sleeve between the case and phone. All in all, I am very happy with the case and highly recommend it.

I searched high and low for the perfect case for my iphone and loved what I read and saw with the Otterbox Commuter Case. The color that I wanted (red) wasn't available yet (to be launched at a TBA date). I'm glad I waited it out, it became available 1 1/2 weeks later. Its a great case, very durable and I love it!
Another great case by Otterbox! January 17, 2010

This is the third case that I have purchased made by Otterbox. This case is a great choice for those who keep their iPhone in a pocket or purse. It doesn't provide as much protection as the Defender case but it is more sleek and sexy. I have dropped it a couple of times and my iPhone was not damaged. It slides in and out of a pocket very easily due to the plastic "spine" that attaches to the back. The earplug and charging jacks are covered but are easy to access. The silent/ring switch on the side is not covered, making it very easy to manipulate. I would definitely recommend this case as well as any other case made by Otterbox! Their customer service is second to none!
