FORT COLLINS, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Smartphones are great for keeping photos, email, presentations and more close at hand. As smartphone cases are becoming even better at multitasking, it’s just as important to keep other essentials on-hand and ready at a moment’s notice. OtterBox® unveils an evolution in smartphone protection to simplify the daily commute or a night on the town. Introducing the Commuter Series® Wallet, a protective case with discrete storage and quick access to cash and important cards, available now for $44.95 at otterbox.com and select retail outlets.

The Commuter Series Wallet combines convenience, security and trusted OtterBox protection into pocket-friendly designs for the Apple® iPhone® 5/5s and Samsung GALAXY S®4.

“The Commuter Series Wallet is an amazing customer-driven design and solution for people who want to minimize the clutter and complexity in their lives,” OtterBox CEO Brian Thomas said. “There’s no more searching for a wallet or purse before rushing out the door. This new case securely encloses credit cards and the most important items you need. Simply grab your essentials, and go.”

An interior slipcover and sturdy polycarbonate shell provide the Commuter Series Wallet’s multi-layer support against bump and shock, while a self-adhering screen protector guards against scratches to the device’s touch screen.* A sliding drawer conceals and securely carries up to three cards while adding almost no bulk to the already slim Commuter Series design. The wallet door slides open without having to turn the phone over, keeping its contents hidden from view.
