I've had my Otterbox for about a month. This was the best decision that I made in a long time. I love the way the clear lets the color of the phone shine through.
I have had this for a month now. It looks great but am not as confident with it as I am with the Defender series. I have dropped on carpeting but I am concerned if it drops on the floor. Probably with have to spend the money and buy the Defender for piece of mind.
Within a week of buying my Galaxy S21 Symmetry stardust glitter clear case the edge turned brown!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I had a clear cover on my previous phone and ended up with cracks in the back. When I replaced my phone recently I decided to go with a more robust case. I love this one…wasn’t expecting it to have a little sparkle so that was a nice surprise, so now my lovely pink phone shows through and sparkles!
I finally joined the 21st century and bought a newer smart phone. Terrified I'd drop it repeatedly like my last phone (Thanks, MS), my friends recommended Otter Box. I am glad they did. Not only is the phone protected, but even more aesthetically pleasing with the clear, glitter case. The case was ridiculously easy to put on (and take off to put a sticker on).
Highly recommend.
Disclaimer: I have not yet dropped my phone so cannot attest to just how safe my phone is or not (from me), but I have faith from other reviews and my friends, that should the day come, Otter Box has me covered.
Wanted a Commuter case for my phone but could only get Symmetry or Defender for s21. Defender is too bulky for me. The Symmetry has not met my Otterbox expectations. It feels too simplistic for confidence in it's protection. The cost seems too high for what you get. It just feels like you're paying for the name instead of true Otterbox protection. Would not recommend the Symmetry case.

My wife just got a new Samsung Galaxy S21 that is her favorite color, purple. She wanted a case to protect it but not cover up the color. This case was the perfect fit for her. Not only is it the high quality we expect from Otter Box, but we were able to get a clear one that lets the color of the phone shine through.
