I was really excited to get my case! But I was let down when as soon as I put it in my purse it got dirty and the stain wouldn’t come off. It wasn’t too bad so I moved on. By default, I always put my phone in my pocket and once I did that the case was ruined. What’s the point of a phone case you can put in your pocket?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Ariel,
We're terribly sorry to hear your Symmetry case is looking a little stained. Thankfully, our color conscious Otters can clean things up with a brand new replacement that is sure to survive pockets and purses, just give us a ring at 1-855-688-7269.
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

Hi John23,
We apologize that you're feeling some strong apprehension towards this Symmetry series for the iPhone Xs Max! Rest assured, this specific case was put through extensive testing to ensure stellar device protection.

If you have any additional questions or comments, please feel welcome to call our playful Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll be thrilled to dive in and help out!
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

Hey Phil,
We apologize that this Symmetry series isn't quite holding up to all of the standards set by your previous OtterBox case! You might be referring to either the Commuter or Defender series, both of which are case styles that do include a charge port cover. If this is a dealbreaker for you, please feel welcome to check out the links below to see these cases, and give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269 with any questions!

The Symmetry Series case is very nice & looks great. However, the shell is a very hard, tough, durable plastic. So much so, that it makes it easy to slide out of your hand, and thus drop the phone. Relative to grip, it is a bit better than the naked phone, but not much. This is a very big phone. The case needs to have better grip ability. Like the defender series. Also the case is very slim/thin. As such the case does not stick out much further than the screen, or the camera lens. If dropped flat, even a very small pebble will hit the glass screen, or the camera lens. If you’re looking for good drop protection and a good grip for your $1,550 iPhone Xs Max, get the Defender Series.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi KatheB,
We're so sorry to hear that this Symmetry series isn't quite checking all of your boxes! This case was purposely designed to provide sleek, pocket-friendly protection, but we certainly understand why you might be looking for something a little bit more rugged. Please feel free to check out the iPhone Xs Max Defender series via the link below, and if you have any additional questions, don't hesitate to call our awesome Otters at 1-855-688-7269. They're always glad to help out!
I’ve been with OtterBox since the iPhone 5s,they have always been #1. However there are just as good boxes now at cheaper prices,with more of a variety of designs. If you want to spend the money for an Otterbox,youwill get the protection.
The item arrived on time but seems like it’s not as flawless as expected. Minor scratches and excess rubber linings are observed. But still, the item looks good and durable.
I got this case about three weeks ago for my iPhone 10S Max, it’s a good case I have been buying OTTERBOX Symmetry series for years, but there is some kind of defect around the Siri button the top is stretched out a bit, it is unlike OTTERBOX quality but I guess I have to deal with it a little disappointed.
Too bulky, I don’t like the plastic look. Takes over the phone instead of complementing it
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
