The case protects the phone and charges fine, however the biggest downfall of this case is that it doesn’t protect the camera lenses. You need to buy additional protection.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I love the protection Otterbox provides. The only reason I only give 4 stars is the darn case is almost impossible to remove. I don’t have a reason to remove the case and I can wait a couple of years before I HAVE to remove it. It’s just that it’s a one piece case and when you put it on, it stays on.
The case itself is great. It’s what I expect from otter box - protective and not too bulky. MagSafe works perfectly well, no issues attaching wallets, pop socket, and charger. However, the case is NOT blue. It is definitely purple. Not sure why they are calling this blue.
