Love the thin design I only gave it four stars because it doesn’t have the extra shock prevention that the old design had which lined the inside of the case with rubber
I had an Otter Box for my old iPhone 5 that I loved, so I was disappointed to find this one so different. Maybe I just didn't read the description well enough but my old one was rubbery all around which made it both easier to hold and was better protection for my phone. It had a higher edge around the screen and the camera lens. I liked the softer feel of the old one more than the harder Symmetry.
Quality is cheap, and was extremely overpriced. Not confident this will protect my new phone :( Looks cool though :/
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Dear Adalyn,
Our apologies that this Symmetry series isn't quite what you were expecting to cover your new iPhone! This particular case is designed to provide slim, pocket-friendly protection, but we certainly understand why the sleek style might provoke some slight apprehension. If you're searching for some additional bulk, as well as extra peace of mind, we would recommend checking out the Defender series. The Defender highlights our most rugged design, and might be more up your alley! Take a look via the link below, and give our awesome Otters a ring at 1-855-688-7269 with any questions. They're always glad to help out!
Good case but it’s to slim for me,the old symmetry was just perfect! Very disappointed!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Feel free to check them out via the link below, and give our friendly representatives a call at 1-855-688-7269 with any further questions!
Overall I’m very happy with the protection and slim design of this case. I purchased the love triangle design and the downside is that it shows scratches on the back of the case show easily. This is a bummer since I really like the case itself. I wonder if one of the other designs or darker colors is better at preventing this.
Very disappointing manufacturing quality. The edge along is screen is rough and irregular. Totally unacceptable at this price. Also, the back surface is slippery.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I've had this case for 2 weeks and the back of it is already peeling. I'm not too happy with the quality, which surprises me coming from OtterBox.

I love these cases I use them for all my phones the ones with the rubber around them get to dirty and I have to keep cleaning them but these are much easier to deal with and make it easy to keep a good grip on the phone.
