The pullout holder seems strong enough to keep a grip on your phone, but lacks sturdiness to actually prop it up on its side (i.e. watching videos or nightstand mode)
The plastic bands that fix the holder to the phone are easy to deform and difficult to restore to their original shape which results in difficult to retract the holder back in to the case.
The low profile is compatible with wireless charging and MagSafe accessories, and the case seems sturdy enough.
If you’re used to the pop socket version of this case then save yourself the disappointment as this won’t meet your expectations.

Another winner from Otterbox! They have figured a way to incorporate MagSafe and a Pop-Up you don’t have to remove (and lose) when you need to charge it! A perfect fit for my new iPhone with a lot of protection and good looks! Very happy with this purchase!
I was really excited about this case because it came with its own built in “pop socket”. I love the design I got & the durability but the pop out handle is just kind of awkward. Like i’m not sure if I should be using it like a loopy or a pop socket as far as finger placement. Overall really happy with the case. And it lays flat in my tesla charger so I don’t have to remove the case!
I’ve had the symmetry case on every iPhone since iPhone 6 and it’s been great. I always just added a pop scoket. A few years ago Otterbox came out with a case that had the pop socket built it. It was fantastic. Absolutely loved it. This year they decided to do their own “pop socket” and it’s awful. I immediately returned it. Definitely worse quality and flimsier.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello! We apologize that the OtterGrip Symmetry is not to your liking. We look forward to processing that return for you. Please give our CS Team a call at 1-855-688-7269 if we may assist with finding the perfect case for your new device, as we are always happy to help.
I love this case. I was looking for something that was MagSafe and still had some type of holder I didn’t have to remove every time I wanted to use the MagSafe. This is perfect. And on top of that it’s pretty!
As other reviews state, the grip is absolutely terrible in comparison to the previous socket cases. Not only can it be difficult to hold onto (nor is it comfortable for the fingers), but there is zero chance it works as a “stand”, and the retractable strap feels like it will certainly break at some point. When I first received the case I wanted to return it because I knew I wouldn’t like it, but I forced myself to try it out and sadly I’m guessing my return window has passed. I’ll likely be forced to purchase another MagSafe case for the same price and then a separate pop socket which will cost even more. Sigh. OtterBox I beg of you: please bring back the old design!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This case is so uncomfortable to hold. Does not pop out easy at all. There was no reason to change the old pop socket cases! If I buy a pop socket case I do so knowing it won’t go on the mag safe chargers which I do not care about. Bring back the popsocket cases!!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
