I received it last night and found it difficult to open and put on my iPhone X. The back piece cracked while taking it off after the side pieces had not lined up to control the ringer. The directions are not clear. Words would be helpful rather than just a diagram and there was no additional info on the website. I find it difficult to use the ringer on/off button and to use the other side control buttons. I’ve had many Otter Boxes and have loved them. This one-not so much.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have always used otterbox cases to protect my iPhone since the 5s models. This is the first time that I had a problem. After jus two weeks the foam seal on the front starts to push out of the case and on to the screen.

Dear Photogeek,
Yikes, looks like that foam seal is trying to escape from the duty of protecting your iPhone! We try to train our cases to be the toughest soldiers around, so we apologize that yours was just not up to the task. Fortunately, our strong Otters will be more than happy to get that unit reinstated for you! Just ring them up at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll process a warranty claim and send a replacement case that should keep your device safe from harm for a long time going forward!
I’ve owned Otter Boxes forever. There’s no other case I’d rather have. This one however I’ve had trouble with. The edge where the volume buttons are doesn’t fit very well. It’s like the button don’t fit in the case.
I am a long time Defender Case purchaser for my entire family and work Apple products. This case is one of the most difficult to get the phone into so all of the buttons work. The ringer on/off switch does not engage the case’s switch sufficiently enough to operate properly. Now the case rubber around the screen area is coming off the case. I wanted a little more compact case, I could have spent a third of the cost of this case and received higher quality. This case is not even a month old. Do not waste your money on this case.

Hey there Not Happy,
We're sorry to hear that the Pursuit series is not meeting your Otter expectations! It is odd that the unit was so difficult to apply, especially since as long as the two pieces are separated, they should comfortably latch around the device. Please also keep in mind for future reference that our friendly Otters are always available to provide installation assistance. If you're willing to give this another shot, we would love to rectify this situation by sending you a warranty replacement, so please feel welcome to call us at 1-855-688-7269. We're confident that with the proper installation, this case should provide the ultimate protection that you're looking for!
The mute button design on the product is a nightmare. It’s very hard to install the phone and have the button work. There are also zero instructions on the proper proceedure, and even that may not work. My mute button even installed correctly only works part of the time. Hopefully this design glitch will be fixed because other than that tiny but important factor it’s a great box.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Stilson,
Sorry to hear that you're having trouble aligning the Pursuit mute switch with the iPhone X! True, the distinct style does take some getting used to, but not to worry - our Otter experts are here to help! Feel free to follow the link below to watch the installation video made for this exact case. The video should offer some handy tips and tricks on applying that unit perfectly. For any additional assistance, please don't hesitate to call us at 1-855-688-7269, and we'll always be glad to take a closer look!
I love that this case is super thin but durable. There are two design flaws, in my opinion. First there is a "switch" that is supposed to turn the mute button but it rarely works. The case also doesn't completely snap together around the volume buttons. I do love the colors and like I said, it is very thin but for the amount of money I paid for it, these other issues should be nonexistent.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hey kathrynrose10,
Yikes! We're so sorry to see (literally) that this Pursuit series is suffering from a fit issue! Our handy Otters would love to fix things up with a quick warranty replacement, so please don't hesitate to call them at 1-855-688-7269. They'll send you a brand-new case that we trust shouldn't give you any such trouble going forward!
Bought this case 2 weeks ago to protect our iPhone Xs'. Mine has the clear back and my wife's has the solid black back. These are much slimmer than the Otterbox cases that covered our Iphone 6 Plus'. I can see that the clear back case will get scratched over time, but I like the fact that I can see the original color of the Iphone.
As a NYC fireman I take care of my equipment. That includes my phone. Sometimes the phone gets away from me, but my otterbox has my back, keeping the phone safe. A must for the active individual. Thank You Otterbox
