Hello, Wendy! We are so sorry the Symmetry Series case was not all you had hoped it would be. Please give our CS Team a call at 1-855-688-7269 and we are happy to help with this!
This is a nice case. The back and corners are hard material, while the top rim and ends are more pliable. It fits tightly but is fairly easy to take off when I need to charge my phone.
I’m not sure if it’s the batch or phone case model, but it’s been less than a year and my case is already starting to fall apart. It arrived slightly warped but mostly fit my phone. Now the side case buttons are starting to break off.
I’ve had Symmetry cases on my phones for the last 5 years and they’ve been great except for this one.

I am a longtime Otterbox user. With my iPhone 12 mini I wanted to move away from the Defender and try something more streamlined. While I like the small feel of the case it is too slippery. The positive I can say is that in all of the times I have dropped the phone because of this case, the phone has been well protected. While it seems to be a protective case, I am completely unhappy with this expensive case. I only wish I could get through to customer service.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

If you're having trouble reaching our Customer Service Team online, feel free to call us at 1-855-688-7269.
I really liked this case on my iPhone 8. It gave me peace of mind every time my phone accidentally fell. On the iPhone 12, however, it lacks enough depth around the lenses for me to have confidence in protecting them. I decided to return it for this reason. I think because of the square, and slightly thicker design of the 12, Otterbox decided to slim down the back panel to handle better. I’m confident the phone would still be protected during a fall, but the camera lenses might now make it. I would suggest Otterbox raise the area around the lenses if they want to keep this slim design.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi, Nick!
We're sorry to hear that you weren't happy with your Symmetry Series case! Rest assured, that case design has been through hundreds of hours of testing to ensure it will live up to the drop protection provided by past Symmetry Series cases. We're bummed to hear that you ended up returning your case, but we hope you choose to give us another shot in the future!
