I bought the case because it’s suoer cute and Otterbox is known for being durable. I also liked that it seemed to have two layers - an inner “rubber” layer and outer hard plastic layer. First, I was wrong. It’s only one piece. What looks like an inner layer is just a change in material and texture. And that part - the link around the face of the phone - stains and gets so dirty. Especially if the phone is in the back pocket of my jeans. It comes out totally blue! These are well work jeans too. And the blue doesn’t come off the phone so I’m quite disappointed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Dear Kelly,
Our apologies that you're feeling slightly let down by this Symmetry series! Occasionally, the lighter shades of our cases can pick up different colors, depending on what they're exposed to on a daily basis. In the future, we might suggest checking out cases that incorporate darker hues. Nonetheless, our stylish Otters will be more than happy to set you up with a sleek new warranty replacement, so please don't hesitate to call them at 1-855-688-7269. They'll get a claim started right away!
As for the construction of the case, the two-piece design that you're referring to is our Commuter series. The Commuter has an inner rubber slipcover, with a hard outer shell. Feel free to check it out via the link below, and let us know if you have any other questions!
