Can’t use all my controls

I’m not happy that I can’t use all my i-phones buttons with my otter box case on it. I have the Xs max , the Apple logo is a usable button, go to accessibility- touch-back tap-double tap there are several options it can be set for. I have mine set for screenshots. But it’s unusable with Otter Box case

We're sorry to hear you're having some trouble utilizing the Back Tap feature of your iPhone while the device is covered with the Otter + Pop Symmetry Series Case. Although it makes sense that you wouldn't be able to activate your chosen double and triple-click shortcuts through the PopTop component, we would expect the case to allow such functionality above it.
We'd suggest that you try re-calibrating the settings while the case is on your iPhone if you haven't done so already. If we can be of any further assistance, please feel welcome to give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269 and we'll always be happy to help!
I bought this case 2 years ago after upgrading to a new phone. I used to have such an issue with phone screens cracking but this case has truly kept my phone safe the entire time. Even as it has fallen apart (2 years is a long time for a case, the softer bits have been falling off slowly over time and the volume button bits are gone, as well as the piece around the speaker.) it has taken care of my phone. I haven't used a tempered glass screen protector on this phone because I just kept on forgetting to put it on, and despite many drops, I have no cracks anywhere on my phone. The only surface blemishes I have are minor scratches likely from it being in my pocket all the time. The only reason I am considering replacing this case is that the pop socket bit broke off about 2 months ago so now I can no longer attach pop sockets to the case. I've been holding off because I'm not sure when I will replace my phone (I've been technically due for an upgrade for 6 months), but I think I will get a replacement case and wait for the next gen iPhones to come out.
I bought one for XS Max even tho I may migrate to an iPhone 12. No more cheap cases where the side buttons don’t operate for me! Love the pop out grip button.
Sturdy and nice color. Only issue is it doesn’t work very well with wireless charging. I think the pop socket keeps it from making a strong connection.
I would recommend this to a friend!
