I had been a Defender fan for years and that's what I've been using for the past couple of years with my current phone and for years prior with other phones. While I loved the protection it provided, it was pretty bulky from a pocket perspective. I decided to try the Symmetry to see if it could provide comparable protection in a more sleek profile. So far it hasn't disappointed. Does it look as "rugged" as the Defender, no. But it does have a slightly above the phone case frame so the phone sits inside of the Symmetry. I have a glass shield on the phone for extra protection. It's no where near as bulky and fits into pockets so much easier.
I made this purchase because another brand was not working for me. And so I ended up going with this thinner style and love it’s held up my phone much better
My prior case disintegrated. I purchased this as it was really cute and am so glad I did! I placed my phone on top of the car with my Starbucks, got distracted, got in the car and backed out of the stall. The coffee and phone hit the pavement. Thankfully I didn’t drive over them! The coffee was lost, but the phone? Not a scratch! Otter box is the only way to go!
There is no grip material on the backside of the case, very slippery!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Ellie,
We're so sorry you're not exactly loving this Symmetry Series case. This case was designed to slip in and out of pockets with ease, but we understand that it's not for everyone. If you're looking for a grippier case, we'd recommend our Defender Series case. Please feel free to check it out below!
I’m happy with this phone case. It fits nice and snug. It keeps right along with Otter Box’s réputation of being tough. I’m happy with the slim design. My only issue is the color is more of a mustard yellow.
