What is the difference between the Symmetry and the Commuter?

Commuter is a two part case, flexible rubber with a hard shell exterior. We returned ours because one of the pieces was warped. The symmetry is a single solid piece. That has some flex(to get it on) but is very sturdy. In my opinion the symmetry is hands down better.

Symmetry is an unibody structure making it slimmer and more pocket friendly, while the Commuter series is a two piece case making it bulky and not pocket friendly.

The symmetry case its all one case and the commuter is two cases that come apart

The Commuter series is a 2 layer case which includes a screen protector as well as a belt clip. The Symmetry Series is slim and just fits your phone. You have to buy an additional screen protector. I actually had the Defender series which is a 3 layer protection. I found it overtime to be quite bulky that is why I bought the Symmetry. It's as slim as your phone and comes in different colors and patterns. Hope this helps. You can also see all the series on Otterbox's website.

From reviewing the specs, I cannot see a difference. The exterior design is slightly different but I don't see a difference in function. If there are differences on the inside, I cannot tell.

Defender has a cover that goes over the face of the screen and a phone case with clip. Commuter is thinner and usually no clip and no screen cover

Running dynamics statistics are the differences, but not worth the money. The 610 have more features like bike mode and customs workouts.

the big difference is the holster that comes with the defender. they offer the same features other than the holster. after about a few months (five for me, three for my daughter) it starts to get loose around the edges. cant recall if the commuter has a builtin screen protector.

What's your motherboard model ( if unknown, what's the model of the commuter)

No, it isn't a commuter case and the picture doesn't give a really accurate depiction. It's a little bulkier than the commuter, and it's 2 pieces but it's much easier to get in and out of pockets.

Definitely. Not as bulky and still provides great protection! I'm glad I chose this case... i also considered the commuter but decided to pay the extra money for the nicer look.

It depends on your preference. One is a minimalist case, one isn't. I bought the Symmetry and returned it, because as I stated in my review, IMO there are better ones out there.

The more expensive model has two different firmness levels. The side with smaller cubes is more firm than the side with larger cubes. I find it helpful to switch when driving very long days.

Sorry, I'm pretty sure the Defender will not fit. The Commuter is a bit smaller in all dimensions and fits perfectly.

There is no difference. For otterbox cases (for the Samsung Galaxy Note 2's) ... there are two truly different styles of protection ... the Defender (which you are interested in--and gives the most protection) and the Commuter series (which has a different case make up and does not include the holster). I actually have the Glacier (white/gray), the black/gray and the black/black .. they are all the same defenders.

I'm thrown off by the numbers posted. But, I would definitely go with the defender series. It has a built in screen. In my opinion it's the best choice. (The commuter doesn't have a protective screen)

The Defender is more protective, and more bulky. It also comes with a belt clip. The Commuter is a slimmer, but very protective case. Still protects the phone from drops and falls, just not from extreme heights!

Defender is thicker w/ built in screen protector. Hard plastic on the inside silicon on the outer layer. And it comes with a belt clip / phone stand. Commuter has no built in screen protector silicon is on the inside hard plastic outer layer. And no clipI have cracked my screen (not severly) even w/ the commuter

The Defender is bulkier, it offers a little more protection than the commuter series . The commuter is perfect for my daily needs.

Not really sure other than an looks. Both appear to be the same. I looked at many and often astetics. Both look great and I love mine. The next level up sent info to cell phone but I just write it down.
