As advertised, and worth buying from an OEM where they use the one and only correct model number for the case that actually fits an older gen phone. Worth!
The case seems just okay. The commuter felt better. It had a slight texture on the back whereas the symmetry is slick. Also, this is probably just for me, but the bottom of the case hurts the side of my pinkie finger because the case is open where the charging port is. That was also covered by a rubber part on the commuter. I've used OtterBox cases for over a decade and I've been a huge proponent of them to my friends, but I wouldn't recommend symmetry. It just feels kind of cheap.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi! We are sorry to hear the Symmetry Series did not provide the same awesome experience the Commuter Series case does. Please give our CS Team a call at 1-855-688-7269 and we are happy to help with a return and also assist with getting you a case that fits your needs.
I've been liking the clear cases these days. My last one was a Life Proof case of similar style and proportions, but it looks like it went end of life. The biggest difference was that was a two piece case, whereas this is a one piece. I actually like the one piece design better. Just pop the phone in and you're on your way! It's also got slightly higher edging for screen protection.
I'm not the clumsiest person ever, but it's already had a few cases where it did it's job.
I've had this case for just over a year and it has certainly kept my phone safe through a few falls as well as everyday wear and tear. My only complaint is the discoloration. I don't smoke, nor am I ever around anyone that does, and I don't carry this phone in my pocket or store it anywhere that could discolor it this way. For this reason, I am hesitant to purchase this case again.
It was awful. It would not go on the phone. I threw it away .
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We're so sorry to hear that you had such a dismal impression of the Symmetry Series Case that you opted to toss the item. We wish that we'd have had the chance to help figure out a good path forward, as we do have an excellent warranty; however, we're unable to extend that to any lost, stolen, or intentionally discarded products.
If we should be so fortunate as to pique your interest again at some point down the road, please feel welcome to give us a call at 1-855-688-7269 with any Otter questions or concerns and we'll always be happy to help.
