I bought this for my XS max. It feels good in the hand, looks great and protects it. Dropped it from 6 ft high and it bounced on several on several objects before hitting the ground and no damage to my device. Not saying this would happen with everyone, but it did mine. Would def recommend and purchase again.
I’ve been use this type of case since iPhone 6S+ days. Always loved it. Now on the Max the buttons for power, and volume don’t stick out much so it’s hard to tell if you’re pressing it without looking. I have it on my X still and it was super easy to tell on that.
This was one of the few cases available of the XS Max if they didn’t change the camera on the back your 8 plus case would work just fine. The case is fine and I like the color. The only complaint is the case has no grip so it does slip easily out of your hand so make sure you have insurance on your phone.
The case is FAR to thin and lightweight to protect the new iPhone XS Max. I will be returning and obtain a different case that offers better protection
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Very disappointed that there isn't a lighting port cover as I've had on my previous cases. Other than that everything is as expects from an otterbox case

These new covers for the IPhone X’s Max is rediculas in saying that it’s great for saving a phone. It has no front coverage and expects you to also purchase a glass for the front... After years of great products, this is the worst!!!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Rest assured, all of our cases still go through a rigorous testing process to ensure that they provide the best device protection possible. We trust that this Symmetry should keep your phone safe and secure for a long time to come, and if you have any other questions or comments, please don't hesitate to call our friendly Otters at 1-855-688-7269. They'll always do what they can to help out!
I bought this Symmetry case for my iPhone Xs Max preorder and the case arrived prior to release date, the day I received my phone (perfect timing). The case is BEAUTIFUL, fits perfectly and feels great in my hand! Long time satisfied Otterbox customer!
