The only reason I'd give it a lower rating is the fact that the red portion of the case is discoloring already due to the oils in your skin and mostly from being in my pocket and the dyes rubbing off on it. Wish I'd have gotten all black, but a great product all around. Love the slim design.
Pros: High quality, Durable
Cons: discoloration
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love otterbox, but I don't like bulky phone cases that much. So when I saw the symmetry series, I was all for it! I got the triangle grey design. It took 4 days to ship, and when I got it I was a little disappointed to see a little nick in the middle of the rubber part. It looked like when they put the rubber in the mold, it just didn't set in. But it doesn't bother me that much, and doesn't take away any protection. Overall, I think it's great. I use it everyday.
I have had this case for a month now, and it is awesome! I am clumsy, and drop my case frequently. This case has protected my S5, many times, from drops ranging 1 feet from the concrete, to 5 feet as it is somehow flying out of my hand. I have used the commuter series prior to this series, and the protection is equivalent to the commuter, but slimmer. I would recommend this highly to anyone who would like slimmer protection.
Good case in general, looks nice and doesn't make the phone seem too big. However, the rose color is not true to what it appears online. It is actually really really hot pink instead of rose. In addition, the material that the teal part of the case is made of picks up dyes from denim and other dark materials. I can't keep my phone in my jeans pocket because the teal edges are picking up the color and it doesn't come off. Makes the case look old and dirty right away. So, its a good case, as long as you don't want to keep your phone in your pocket.
Although I have only had this case for a week and have not dropped the phone as of yet (thankfully) so far the case is great. It is nice and thin. It fits perfectly. It's easy to get on and off the phone. The color was true to the photo online. The only downside it that it is a little slippery. The hard plastic shell can easily slip out of hand or off of what it is sitting on. Overall, I am very satisfied.
This is by far the most elegantly sturdy phone case I've ever had. The front edges are solid black (which means no conflict with what is on the screen) and of a soft rubbery material that keeps the phone from sliding around when placed face-down on a surface. I often lay it face-down so I can show off the gorgeous design on the back. I have had it for several weeks, and have received many compliments on it.
The back is a very hard, matte finish, which means it slides in and out of pockets/purses easier than if the back were a softer material. That can be a plus or a minus, but most of the time I want to get at the phone quickly, so expediting access is good.
I have not dropped the phone yet, so can't comment on whether the case lives up to its protection claims, but it certainly feels extremely solid. And despite the sturdy construction of the case, all of the phone's buttons/ports are easily accessible.
I hesitated about spending the money on a phone case, especially right after buying an expensive phone (Samsung S5), but it's worth every dime!
