The case is fine, and does the job as expected. However, I will be purchasing another case becuase the Otterbox is too slippery in my hand. I had a another case on my iPhone X and it was easier to hold onto due to the grips on the case.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hey Chaz,
We're sorry to hear the Symmetry case is tough to grip. The rubber edges around the screen of the phone should help ease things though! If you find this isn't the case for you then no sweat, we'd recommend the Defender Series! The outer layer of this case is silicone, which you may find is easier to hold on to!

Color: Earl Grey The OtterBox symmetry meets all the desirable qualities I was looking for in a phone case for my iphone 12 i.e. solid protection with minimal bulk; an attractive aesthetic form factor; very nice ergonomic feel in the hand with tapered top edge; good button function without the buttons protruding from the case. Which contributes to the sleek look and feel of the case (a big consideration for me) It feels very solid and substantial. It feels like quality. The stippled polycarbonate bottom shell and synthetic rubber top trim provides a nice grip. I read some reviews complaining the case was difficult to put on and take off. It's not difficult if you first insert the phone into the bottom left corner of the case then push the phone under the left edge and top left corner; then push down around the the rest of the case to snap the phone into place. It is snug the way it's supposed to be in order to protect the phone. I feel secure that my phone will not pop out of the case if dropped. To remove the case start at the upper right corner where the case will bend easier because of the design for the camera and peel it down the right side and slide the phone out. I'm very happy with this case. After trying a number of other cases this one is the keeper. It has everything I wanted. Over all an excellent case from OtterBox.
Very happy with the case. Definitely high quality and good fit. A little high priced but as my second case for my second phone, I am willing to pay to have the fit and quality that otter box provides.
I have been purchasing Otterbox cases for my iPhone for the past 7 years- I love that they are sturdy and protect my phone. I was a little disappointed with the cake pop color- on the internet it appears purple but the actual color is a light pink
I picked up this case for my new iPhone 12. It fits great and was a snap to install. I liked it so much a got a second one for my daughter's phone and a third for my wife's phone. I've always had great luck with OtterBox products.
