I bought this because I love otter box protection. I’ve used otter box folio style for over 10 years but now the only have the fold over wallet look which I don’t like. So I bought apple folio and this case. While the folio stayed in place if the phone doesn’t move, it always dropped off if it moved. Even the slightest. It is passing through the magnet and that’s not strong enough. It needs a magnet in it. Needs less to say I ended up with apple case with the magnet in it so the folio is secure and no issues with it dropping off just picking it up.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Apologies for any confusion prior to purchase, but this specific Symmetry Series Case wasn't actually engineered to be fully compatible with Apple's MagSafe ecosystem.
Although this Symmetry Series case will allow a charge to pass from the MagSafe charger through to the iPhone, it doesn't allow for a magnetic seal to occur. That being said, the OtterBox Symmetry Series+ with MagSafe will make the magnetic connection you're after!
First of all it’s bright so easy to find, I’m always loosing my phone the case is built way better then other cases. It feels impressive in hands. Get it!
The case has a slim profile and looks good , however the case is slippery . Yesterday it slipped out of my pocket and hit the concrete, luckily I have screen and camera protectors so it protected them. Have a chip on my camera protector . Not pleased

Works exactly as advertised, has protected my iPhone after one drop already, and still fits in my front pants pocket! Only iPhone case I will ever use!
I bought this case few weeks ago. Looks well-made and quality, but its somewhat slippery, and if your not careful enough to grab it it might fall and break.

I love the Symmetry series, and I've had it with my past three iPhone models. The 12 seems like a different fit, with the case popping off at the top corner every couple of days for no reason. No drops, and I don't keep it in my pocket. It seems like there's not as high of an edge on the screen side of the phone, so I am a bit worried that it'll crack if I do drop it. Otterbox is still my go-to for phone cases, but this one seems a bit more lacking than the usual standard.
I would recommend this to a friend!
