Solidly built. Good looking. Reasonable cost. Would be nice to include a screen protector as in the past. Also shipping could be faster; i.e. 2-day shipping.
I have always had an Otterbox Commuter, but just recently switched phones. A new phone means a cool, new case. I love the color and design of this Symmetry, but the back gets scratched super easy due to the shine. It already looks scratched and a little dull.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hey there FRF85,
Super easy scratching calls for superhero action!
We're so bummed to see that this Symmetry series is suffering from some battle scars, but not to worry - our heroic Otters are ready to save the day with a warranty claim. Just give them a call at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll swoop in for the rescue with a brand-new replacement case!
I just purchased this case because the last one I bought the bottom starting wearing off and got really scratched quickly and now this one has a crack in the top after a day and is looking horribly scratched after only keeping in my back pocket most of the time, I really wish these lasted longer. Not sure I will stay with this company for cases.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hey Lljenk,
We're so sorry to see that you've been going through some misfortune with this Symmetry series! Our cases are not necessarily engineered to be infallible so much as they are intended to absorb the brunt of any impacts that would otherwise jeopardize your device. As long as your iPhone is doing okay, we're still going to call this a win and cut straight to the part where we set you up with a warranty claim. Just give our awesome Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll hook you up with a replacement case in practically no time at all!
The case looks and functions great. But... the edge is very sharp and extremely painful to use pressed against my ear when talking. So much so I will be getting a different one because I don’t like using it. If it were not for the edge I would love the case.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hey Smoore,
We think our princess style is pretty sharp...style-wise, that is!
We're so sorry to hear that this Symmetry series is suffering from a rough edge, and our awesome Otters would love to smooth things over with a warranty claim. Please don't hesitate to call them at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll send out a sleek new replacement that we trust shouldn't give you any such trouble going forward. You'll be loving that princess power again in no time at all!
I purchased the Otterbox Symmetry for my iPhone 8+ to replace a year old other brand that had broken from a hip level drop. Luckily no phone damage but unusable. I decided to go back to Otterbox as I like the slim profile and the extra protection afforded by the Symmetry case.
