This is my fourth symmetry slim case. This is my all time favorite case for my iPhones. Slim, light, yet great protection from drops. I highly recommend this case.
I am on my 3rd Otterbox. I drop my phone a lot, and I mean ALOT! Before I found Otterbox I there tons of money away on phone repairs. This is seriously the best case I have ever used. I dropped my phone down a moving escalator. It bounced from the top alllllll the way down. After the shock of what was happening wore off, I moved quickly down the steps and when I reach the bottom my phone was still in one piece. I was amazed and from that moment on swore to the universe and all things fluffy that I would never use any product but Otterbox. Now every time I drop my phone I shout “Hooray for Otterbox!!”
The case is way to slippery. The size is just right and the protection is adequate. But my lord, I cannot hold onto the phone with one hand without being afraid of dropping it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hey Teej,
We're sorry to see that something seems 'fishy' with this Symmetry series! This case was purposely engineered to supply sleek, pocket-friendly protection, but we definitely get that sometimes this style doesn't work with everyone.
If you're looking for something with additional traction, we would suggest our Defender series, which integrates an outer rubber slipcover. Please feel free to check it out by clicking on the link below, and give our friendly Otters a ring at 1-855-688-7269 with any further inquiries!
I feel like the quality and overall reliability of Otterbox may be slipping I’ve had my case for less than two weeks and the rubber on the bottom of the case is peeling away

Dear Lyne,
We so apologize that the rubber on this Symmetry series is trying to pull away! We train our cases to be tough and resilient, so we apologize that this particular unit is having some trouble living up to the legend. Not to worry - our Otter soldiers will be happy to reinstate that Symmetry with a brand-new warranty replacement. Just give them a call at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll restore your solid security before you know it!
I debated on whether or not I should get this case because I felt like it wouldn't be as protective as other cases. That is partly true because the lip on the front isn't very prominent meaning that if it were to drop face down, your screen might shatter. To prevent this though, I advice that you get a glass screen protector and you should be set. That being said, the case is durable on the back and it is very light and thin but still protective. I like the sleek and simple design and the yellow color is like a mustard color which I really like. The buttons aren't hard to press and it is very functional. The phone can charge wirelessly with the case on it making it excellent! The only draw back for this case is that the front of the phone isn't as protected due to the small lip in the front.
