Not Navy Blue -- Not sure what blue it is
on April 7, 2021
Posted by: systmkrsh
It is definitely not navy blue. I was expecting a navy blue -- the pictures show a navy blue. Instead I'm not sure what color that is. The sides and the "grippy parts" are closer to the navy blue color, but are more like a dark purple in tone. The case functions as advertised and is nice to have, as it resists most every day drops. I also miss the texture. The non-MagSafe one has a the classic Symmetry texture on the back (helps a bit with grip and looks super nice). It is also great that they come with Anti-microbial, which during these times of COVID-19, gives you more peace of mind.
Fix the color to match the image and I will change my review to a 5 star. It is a bit disruptive. So, go with the black or another color if you were expecting a dark navy color skip it. If you don't care and just wanted a blue case, the blue isn't bad. It looks good with the regular blue iPhone 12 (I had this one and then exchanged it for the Pro) -- the Pacific Blue iPhone 12 Pro doesn't look as good against this blue.
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.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

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
Good product for sure but this color is NOT navy. It is Duke blue & I hate Duke. Wanted navy blue, but it cost to much to not use it and the hassle of sending it back.

Hi JL350,
We're so sorry you're not satisfied with the color of this Symmetry Series + case. Graphics on various phone and computer screens can skew details sometimes.
Nevertheless, we're still confident this case will offer some of the best protection available to safeguard your investment, and we trust it will prove itself time and time again. If you're still unsure, feel free to touch base at (855) 688-7269 and we'd be happy to boost your confidence.
The case is sturdy but the color is different in person. I ordered the Navy Captain Blue. The rubber/silicone around the display is purple in person, not navy blue. The hard plastic is lighter blue.

Hey OtterBox Customer,
We're sorry to learn the color of your Symmetry Series+ with MagSafe isn't quite what you had in mind. Unfortunately, even though we do our best to put up an accurate representation of the color and style of the product, sometimes things can get lost in translation, so to speak, due to different monitors, etc. Please feel free to contact our support team with any further questions or comments and we'd be happy to assist: https://www.otterbox.com/en-us/support
The Symmetry + case is a perfect fit for iPhone 12 Pro. The MagSafe charging feature works perfectly. The case feels great in the hand and it is strong. The bumpers on the front appear to be very protective of the screen. The antibacterial feature is also very welcome. This is the best and most comfortable case I have ever owned. I highly recommend it.
I got an iPhone 12 Pro last month and feared for its life, given my propensity to drop things. The Symmetry Plus is made of a hard, protective material. It easily accommodated Apple’s wireless charger. Finally, the crepe color is easy on the eyes and easy to find in my purse. An all around win!
I prefer the commuter cases but the symmetry was the only one with the MagSafe option, that being said, this case is very slippery. It’s a good thing it offers drop protection because I have dropped my phone more with this case then I ever did with the Apple silicone case.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi, Steve!

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!
