I bought my son this case in black (without the Magsafe plate inside) and it fit and protected very well. Being stubborn and the fact that I used a MagSafe charger, I decided to order the Symmetry + in blue. Great fit, hold the mage safe charger much better than the non plus model and protects well.
I have been a fan of Otterbox cases since they began, and I've had one on every phone since. I would have purchased a Defender but bought the Symmetry case for my daughters iPhone 12 because it's MagSafe compatible and the Defended isn't. Why can't Otterbox figure out how to make a MagSafe Defender case? The symmetry does the job, I guess, but it's clearly inferior to the Defender. By a lot. Also, the Symmetry is shipped in an envelope, not a box and by the time mine arrived...well let's just say it had been "pre-tested". The packaging inside was seriously crushed but the case survived. I guess it saves Otterbox money to do it that way. Again, meh.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi bradPDX,
We're sorry to hear the Symmetry Series+ is just okay for you! Our Symmetry cases will have a rubber edging that will help with grip though. If you'd prefer a Defender case, we do have one with MagSafe available for the iPhone 12 Pro. Check it out: https://www.otterbox.com/en-us/iphone-12-pro-iphone-12/defender-series-xt-with-magsafe/77-80946.html#prefn1=featuresRefinements&prefv1=Works+with+MagSafe+Charger%7CMade+for+MagSafe&start=1

This case is not up to the standards that other cases have been. I have had otterbox since the iPhone 4. This is the first case I have had that didn’t protect the phone. My phone slipped out of my pocket and landed on the back side of the phone. It broke my camera lens.

Hi there,
We're terribly sorry to hear your iPhone was damaged in the drop. While our products are designed to withstand a lot, they aren't 100% infallible in all drops or falls. We can't extend our policy to the device, as we aren't the manufacturer. If your OtterBox was damaged or you have further questions, please contact us here: https://www.otterbox.com/en-us/support
I like the case but wish it had a little more non slip grip on the sides. Also it need to ha e a better price point.

Hi Greg,
We appreciate your feedback about your new Symmetry Series+ case, but we're sorry to hear it wasn't a home run for you. While our cases do come at a top-shelf price, that's because you're getting the top-shelf warranty, and customer service that goes along with your OtterBox! Not to mention the countless Otter-hours we invest in designing and testing our cases to ensure you're in the best of hands.
As for for something with a bit more grip, we'd recommend taking a peek at our Defender Series! Given its grippy outer silicone layer, it might be more your style.
If you have any other thoughts you'd like to share with us, please don't hesitate to send us a message through our support center!
Perfect fit for my new iPhone 12! Every iPhone I have ever had I always protect them with an OtterBox case. The Navy color looks nice with the new blue phone! Very pleased with my purchase!
