what's up everybody today we're going to be unboxing
the commuter case from otterbox for the s22 ultra let's check it out
okay so jumping into this thing really quickly i've been a big fan of the commuter cases pretty
much with any phone i ever get i typically always have one of these what i like about the commuter
cases is they're in between the defender pro and the symmetry case and they offer a little bit more
protection they have a couple little features i like that we'll talk about in a minute but
um let's start with the packaging all their current series of cases come packaged almost
exactly the same we got some different stickers here and there 3x drop tested were accustomed to
the antimicrobial shield and it's made with 35 percent recycled material pretty cool it
talks about the 3x military testing wireless charging support pocket friendly dual layer
protection this is a two-part case and an easy grip the sure grip as they call it
outside of that not really much of anything new to see here so we're going to dive right into it
the design for samsung literature
regulatory information nothing really pertinent about the case itself and then you have the case
so taking a look at it right away it's got that same very boxy design as does the phone
the back has the two pieces of plastic that stick through from the inner lining out to the back of
the case what i think those are designed to do is uh make it so it doesn't wobble
and also give you a little grip and help it from coming out of your pocket
because this is smooth it if it was only made out of this material the phone might be more
likely to slip out of your pocket and fall on the ground and i believe these are to give you some
traction against the material in your pockets at least that's what i've noticed with all of
the commuter cases i've used let's break it down a little bit here so you have the inner lining
that's flexible rubber thick going to absorb most of the shock from an impact and give you
a significant amount of protection you have the flap on the bottom for the charging port
and you're cut out i think what these are for this cutout is to help center the material and keep it
centered in here so you don't get any movement or play when the case is all put together with your
phone in it i'm not 100 sure of that though it all slaps together pretty easily though
looks like they made a slight design change down here i wonder if that's
to accommodate a microphone or something you can see the
you can see the flap is a little bit different opens pretty much the same though
let's try it on
so i did take it apart put the inner rubber lining on first make sure everything's all lined up looks
good and just slip it into the outer part and that goes together super quick looks good gives you a
little bit of a lip on both sides you can still reach the waterfall portions of the screen though
and the edges top and bottom are a little bit more raised up to give you that protection for
when you lay it down the optics on the back have plenty of protection nothing crazy to
see there it will definitely protect your phone should you put on a table no wobble whatsoever
the bottom now i was worried about this i wonder how hard it's gonna be to get this out of there
okay doesn't look too bad let's try the one hand approach here
not a problem what also helps is that the material at the bottom is a little bit flexible so when you
push your finger in there it gives a little bit so you can get at it i have very short fingernails
but someone that has longer fingernails will have no problem opening the port on the bottom
not too terrible i'd still probably cut that off
and it does look like that hole is indeed to accommodate the mic there
wow the clickiness is not fantastic you can definitely get it as you can hear no problem but
it does not feel premium but what might be good about those is if you're prone to raising your
volume in your pocket or you don't want it to be easily hit or you're worried about powering
your phone on accidentally powering it off accidentally it might help out there but i
definitely notice i have to put a little bit more effort into pushing it not a deal breaker by any
stretch of the imagination but getting to those is a little bit more difficult not something i'd
be too worried about overall this is a very nice case otterbox has really rounded off the edges and
perfected the art of making strong cases the width of the foam with the case on 84.19 millimeters
so actually two different measurements i'm going to do here so you can see there's a
the raised lip up top at the top you're looking at just over 14 millimeters
on the sides 12.2 roughly not a big change over the actual size of the phone itself
the weight of the phone with the case 283 grams using the phone with the case on is not a problem
you can get to the edges enough to swipe back and forth swiping down from the top is a breeze
swiping it from the bottom is not a problem either so the case does not seem to get in
the way whatsoever they've done a really nice job of making sure the case doesn't get in the way of
the use of the phone the edges are beveled enough away from the screen so that you can get in there
and swipe from the sides comfortably thank you so much for checking out this video with me today i
