I purchased this case for my mother who is notorious for dropping her phone and cracking the screen. This case has kept my mother's phone in straight out the box condition.
It’s not very substantial. Doesn’t seem like it’s protective enough. I’m sending it back.

Hi there!
We're sorry to hear about your disappointment with your Symmetry Series case! Rest assured, that case design has been through hundreds of hours of design testing to ensure it will hold up to the abuses of everyday life. We're bummed to hear that you're planning to send your case back, but we hope you choose to give us another shot in the future! If you are still looking for a protection option for your device, we'd suggest checking out our Defender Series case!
I had wrongly assumed this Otter was constructed of non-slip material like my previous Otter but it is simply hard slippery plastic. I really don't understand why it is categorized as an Otter.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Sounds like you might have previously been using one of our Defender Series cases, as that model does have an outer synthetic rubber slipcover. In contrast to that robust case, the Symmetry Series is one of our most streamlined, and as such, we opted to go with the smooth finish in order to aid in the retrieval of one's device from pockets and such.
If this case isn't quite the one for you, perhaps one of our other various models would be more to your liking. Feel free to give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269 with any product questions and we'll always be happy to help!
