I’ve never used an Otterbox case before. I bought the Symmetry case because it was described as thinner than the regular Otterbox cases. Wow! If this is considered thin the others must be huge. I understand the protection it provides, but it is just too big for daily use. I’ve stopped using it...
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hey there hbmex,
We so apologize that the Symmetry series ended up being a little too bulky for your comfort level! While we do our best to keep our case designs as streamlined as possible, the security of your device is our number one priority, and at a certain point it's not worth sacrificing any more protective layers. If you have any additional OtterBox questions, please don't hesitate to call our friendly Otters at 1-855-688-7269. We'll always do what we can to help!
If you don’t mind loosing your speaker volume then this case is great! The wireless charging works through it. The feel is great. Not sure why they put navy blue with a radppcolor (thought it was a dark purple when purchased). Yes it adds bulk but that’s a trade off for protection. I’m hearing impaired & have to use the speaker at full volume to communicate. The x volume is great but you put this case on & it’s like having the volume turned to 1/2 way. Bummed BIG.

Hey there!
Sorry to hear that your Symmetry series isn't holding up to expectations! Although we do our best to display the most accurate representations of our case designs on the webpage, unfortunately sometimes things can get lost in translation, due to different monitors, etc. It is extremely unusual that your Symmetry case is hindering your sound quality, and our acoustic Otters would love to take a closer look. Please feel free to give them a ring at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll do what they can to help!
Otterbox is getting cheap. It was not like before. Examp: say Defender Series but screenless. What’s that? What’s wrong with the Screen. Maybe, it might get a little bit costly. Otterbox never should let down the original Series.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hey there Jeevan,
We apologize that you're feeling disappointed by the screenless edition of the Defender series, and we hope that you're enjoying the sleek protection of the Symmetry case! To answer your question: we intentionally decided to forego the built-in screen protector on the iPhone X Defender to allow for full, uninterrupted access to the curved screen. We truly feel that customers will have the best experience with their device via either direct screen contact or use of a tempered glass that can apply separately. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to call our Otter experts at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll always be happy to help!
Honestly, I'm still deciding if I like this and want to keep it. I ordered the case because it was listed as being slimmer than the traditional Otter Box cases. It may be, but it's still so thick and bulky that it doesn't fit in my hands as well. I do trust the brand and think it's a solid product. But I may have to switch it out with something a bit smaller.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Dear Sarah,
We truly apologize that this Symmetry series doesn't seem to have the delicacy that you were hoping for! Although we do our best to keep our case styles as sleek as possible, in the end, the security of your device is the top priority. We want your phone to stay safe, and at a certain point in the design process, it isn't worth it to sacrifice any further protective layers. If you have any additional questions on this, please feel welcome to call our playful Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll dive in to help out!
I love otter box, especially the symmetry series as it completely protects my phone but doesnt make my phone bulky. I barely notice the case is on my phone
Purchased the new XS as soon as they come out. Received my Otterbox a day before my new phone came in. Perfect timing! I also bought a Minnie Mouse case ❤️
