Not clear and not the case I know Otter Box can be

Verified Purchase:Yes
First, let me set the record straight. I love Otter Box products. I have been using them since the second generation iPhone. I have always used the Defender model. I decided to change it up and I wish I would have stayed with the Defender series. I like the idea of this case being clear, but it is not clear on the back side. I really wish there was a clear Defender model. I also miss the clip that is offered with the Defender series. I am not happy with the Symmetry Series Clear Case for iPhone 7 plus.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi marnold23,
Thanks so much for being a fan of our cases through the years! We are sorry that the Symmetry Clear case is not working out for you. We are glad to see that you have ordered the Defender case as that seems to be a better fit.
We will be sure to pass your feedback about a clear Defender case on to our design team for future consideration. Please feel free to give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269 if you want to get a return set up for that Symmetry case as you are still within the 30 day return window.
You can't see it in the photos but the case is very slick and glossy. My husband has the black symmetry case and it's a matte case and not slippery to hold. Honestly I thought this one would be the same just with the design. Because of the glossiness of the case, it makes it harder to hold on to. Also the case scratches very easily. I've only had the case a couple of weeks and have several scratches on the back of the case from just laying the phone down. I do like the protection of the case and it does have a very snug fit. I just wish I would of gone with a different symmetry case that wasn't the glossy back.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Frustrating yellow edges!

Have only been using the case for a couple of weeks and already the rubber edges around the face side have turned completely yellow/green. This is extreamily noticeable between the white of the iPhone screen, and the truly clear plastic of the back. Also as others have mentioned the buttons are near impossible to press unless using one hand to steady the phone and the other to press, and I have large hands. Finally the case collects ridiculous amounts of dust and debris underneath which has to be regularly removed to avoid scratching the back of my phone. Extreamily unhappy as I trusted otterbox and paid for quality, and I could have paid a quarter of the price for better.

We’re sorry that this Symmetry case is letting you down. We completely understand why having a discolored case with stubborn control buttons that allows debris to sneak in would be disappointing.

Please give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269, and we will be happy to get a new warranty replacement case lined up.

Not clear!!!
on February 1, 2017

I had this for my iPhone 6s and loved it. It does protect the phone. But I thought this one would be clear as well. And it wasn't. It's like etched. I like to put pictures in the back & with the new one for the iPhone 7plus you can't. Soooo upsetting.
The reason why I wanted a new case because the old case that I had got really dirty real fast and it didn't make my phone look appealing anymore. My next option was to get a durable case that would last long, wont get dirty and would make my phone look nice and I got all three with this phone case, it doesn't make my phone look to bulky, its clear and easy to see my rose gold color and having the star dust look at the back of the case gives it a nice look. I've had this case for about four weeks now and I can say I love this case.
Case scratches too easily - is only a few weeks old and scratches all over the back
