Love this case! I’m a huge Disney fan and this was perfect and so cute! The case is durable and protects my phone well. The only complaint is I wish the Ariel graphics on the case were maybe coated with something to prevent scratching. I only had my case two days and put it inside my purse and when I looked later there was a scratch through Ariel’s hair that removed some of the paint.
I would rate this higher if it were water proof. It’s also a shame to have to purchase a screen protector separate. Also the animation (Ariel) doesn’t have the definition I was expecting. And one more thing... why does the clear ( bumper around edges) have to yellow? You would think ,with technology today they could prevent that from happening.

Simply give them a call at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll save the day in no time at all!
I have been using Otterbox cases exclusively for the past 7-8 years to protect my phones. I am prone to dropping things, so I always went with the Defender series for maximum protection. Those phones came out of the case looking brand new, but the cases were bulky and not very pretty. When I switched to iPhone, I took someone's advice and tried the symmetry. It fits in my small hands much easier than Defender ones do and I am so thrilled they have cute options now! I LOVE Otterbox and always recommend them!
I love the look of this case however around the front edge there is a sharp edge the is very uncomfortable when you put the phone up to your face. It is because of this reason that I only give it 2 stars. I cannot use the case like this.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Bagley,
We appreciate your feedback! We are sorry that this Symmetry case is giving you an uncomfortable experience. There certainly should not be any sharp edges on this product.
We would like to get more details so that we can get to the bottom of this mystery. When you have a moment, please give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269 and we will help in any way that we can!
I bought this a couple of weeks ago, and I can say that I'm honestly quite happy with it. The main reason why I went with OtterBox is because I knew it to be reliable in terms of protection yet functional. This case does not disappoint! One thing to note, not necessarily a bad thing, is that the button covers are very tactile, and require a much more solid press than the phone itself. That said, the case does a very nice job of highlighting the phone's features, a major reason why I got the case, in addition to offering an interesting graphic (I got the Confetti Pop). If you've got an iPhone 8 and you're wondering about wireless charging, I have an ANKER Wireless Charger that is admittedly on the higher end in terms of case thickness capability, but it does just fine with this case, which only adds probably about 4mm. Overall, feels like a very natural extension of the phone!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Disappointed with Discoloration
on April 19, 2017

I was so excited about my new Otterbox case, but this one got discolored so badly and it's not even a month old! So disappointed I invested this much money in a case that didn't live up to its hype.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I was looking for a strong but pretty cover for my new iPhone 7. I bought the shimmery ombre version. It is very pretty and showing off my red iPhone. I dropped my iPhone 7 in garage after I put the Otterbox on. No damage happened to my phone. I am glad as I shattered my previous iPhone 6 without Otterbox. I am happy that I purchased this product.
The case is fantastic, style and protection-wise. I drop it nearly every single day because of who I am as a person. I drop it on corners, facedown, you name it. The case does a wonderful job protecting the phone, and I feel safe with my phone inside it. However, my biggest pet peeve with this case (and it really does irritate me a lot) is that the power button is EXTREMELY hard to press. I mean, ridiculously hard. I am not a weak person by any means, but for some reason, Otterbox has made a case that does NOT want you to turn your phone screen on or off. When it comes to taking screenshots, I have to hold the phone a very specific way just to generate enough power to press this power button. The volume buttons are just fine. My best friend has the same case but in glitter, and she has the same problem. This is my only complaint with the case.
