I've had my Symmetry Series Thin Design for about two weeks now, and I am glad I bought it. It Slides in and out of my pocket easy, it's light weight, and I like the overall design.
The Otterbox Symmetry Ivy Meadow iPhone XS cover is awesome!! If you’re looking for a cover for your iPhone that fits well, isn’t bulky & protects your iPhone from the daily grind & any accidental drops. This might be the cover for YOU. Really love the Ivy Meadow colour, too! I’ve had Otterbox covers for my last two iPhones & will continue to use Otterbox, exclusively!
I bought this about a month ago and have dropped my phone a couple of times and this case is as advertised! Great protection and beautiful vibrant colors.
I bought this as I've been trying out different phone cases ever since Spigen started to make their polycarbonate material with a lot less grip. Otterbox cases are generally large but this one wasn't horrible, so I wanted to give it a shot. Overall the case has good protection, looks nice and simple and the buttons work great. However it's just way too slippery on the outside/back layer and very hard to hold, especially 1-handed. It's also too hard to do anything on your phone while case is on a table/hard surface as it just moves around.
This could easily be solved by making an outside layer that's the same material as the inside layer, which has more of a rubber feel and great grip. I'd love to see a smaller case too, but starting with better grip would be a great upgrade to this case. There are many options anyway for the exterior of this case, so I think introducing one more is a great idea.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hey Zaks,
Thanks for your feedback on the Symmetry series, and we apologize that it seems a little too sleek for your comfort level! This particular case was specifically designed to provide slim, pocket-friendly protection. That being said, our team is always looking for ways to enhance the Otter experience going forward, and we'll be glad to pass your thoughts along!
If you run into any additional questions, please feel welcome to reach out to us at 1-855-688-7269, and we'll always be happy to help out!
I’ve been a pretty loyal Otterbox user for several years now. My biggest issue with them in the past is that the silicone buttons would wear down before the rest of the case since they were most frequently used. However, in the updated case the buttons are actually plastic! I think this is a huge improvement and I look forward to seeing how much this extends the life of the case. As always, the protection is excellent as well. I drop my phone fairly often and I have yet to experience a broken screen.
