Just got my 7a case today .I can tell you I definitely feel my phone is safe in this case.Its well made and I like the fact that has the port cover .The last case I had on my other phone didn't have it and I got trash or pocket lent in the port and couldn't charge my phone anymore .So it's definitely a plus .Thank you also for the fast shipping.I recommend this case.

Light weight and simple. Does not protect the front of the phone. I prefer the defender, which is not yet available for the Pixel 7a

This case does not offer a comparable overall protection when compared to their Defender series. If you get this case definitely plan on buying a glass screen protector, so you can save your phone screen. I previously had a Pixel 3a XL with Defender case for about four years my phone and/or screen protector was never once damaged with average daily use. I had just upgraded to the 7a and intended to get the same screen protector and Defender case, but OtterBox only offers the Defender series with the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro. When I bought this I was hesitant because how thin it was when compared to the more robust Defender series, but I made the judgement that it was close enough. That judgement turned out to be wrong, within about 10 days of normal daily use from at ... MoreThis case does not offer a comparable overall protection when compared to their Defender series.

When I bought this I was hesitant because how thin it was when compared to the more robust Defender series, but I made the judgement that it was close enough. That judgement turned out to be wrong, within about 10 days of normal daily use from at home/work my screen protector was cracked from just being in my pocket at work. I'm glad it's just my glass screen protector and not my actual phone screen. If you do get this case save yourself the more expensive headache and get a glass screen protector. I think the main issue with the Commuter series is that the separation and/or clearance from case and screen protector/screen is too small/thin (based off my comparison to the Defender series). To summarize, this case may offer protection for the majority of your phone, but fails to give little extra security/protection to one of the most sensitive parts the screen.
