Otterbox Commuter series have been around for awhile. They are thick but not awful. The Commuter's pieces are separate, i.e. the rubber separated from the hard shell outer layer. Their newer brand from Otterbox is called the Symmetry brand. The Symmetry brand rubber/hard card are fused (Not separate) and is significantly thinner than the Commuter style. Put a Tempered glass on either and you have great protection. If you are looking for a good thin profile, review the Tech 21 series of cases: ultra thin with excellent protection. Both brands, Otterbox and Tech 21 have great warranties. But Tech 21 is lifetime I believe, no questions asked, even for color fading or getting extra dirty.
