Disappointed in this case, the design on the back is not how it is pictured on the website. The hold reason I bought this was for the design and it's not up to what I was expecting. I would have bought a different case had I known the ombre effect wouldn't be as pictured.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We're sorry to hear you're feeling pretty disappointed with how the Ombre Spray version of the Symmetry Series Clear Case looks in person versus what you saw online. We work really hard to make sure there won't be any aesthetic surprises, and we're sorry things still didn't go as either of us hoped or expected.
Perhaps one of the other finishes would be more to your liking? Feel free to give us a call at 1-855-688-7269 and we'll be glad to help make sure you have the best Otter experience possible going forward!
I can’t speak to the yellowing since my case is new, but the Symmetry series are the best cases for full protection without bulk. The sides are slightly grippy and very comfortable to hold. I purchased the wallflower case and it’s lovely against the blue phone, especially with my gold pop socket. My phone feels very secure. This is my 3rd or 4th symmetry case, I don’t use anything else (I tried another brand recently because I liked the design but it looked cheap in person and wasn’t comfortable to hold, and did not feel secure in my hand so I returned it and went back to my trusted and loved Symmetry series). I drop my phone a lot and the Symmetry case has never failed me. In fact, I just look at my phone as it drops and think oh well, it’ll be just fine :)
feels wierd compared to the one I had on my 11, commuter maybe better

I love everything about the sleek design of the symmetry series. Clear is great because it allows the nice colors of the phone to show through. I had it before for my 12 pro max and loved the design so much, I got it again for my 13 pro max. I enjoyed seeding the gold on gold and the gold on blue looks just as nice.
Case is good for protection but I’m super disappointed in the cloudy sides. It hides the pretty shiny gold and that’s the reason I wanted to go with a clear case. Not sure if apples is better.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
