OtterBox Commuter and Commuter TL Series for iPhone 3G/3GS

OtterBox Commuter and Commuter TL Series for iPhone 3G/3GS

OtterBox is known for their protective case designs and they recently released a couple of products for the iPhone 3G and 3GS that offer protection with style. These two cases use the best of silicone with a touch plastic protective shell. Each case comes with a screen cover to protect the front of the iPhone while the case protects the sides and back.

The case adds very little to the iPhone so you don’t sacrifice much in size to use the case.

One reason I like the Commuter TL over the Commuter Series is the protective plastic cover over the Apple logo. I don’t want my casing scratched at all so want this covered up.
