The case works great, it has already saved me once or twice when I dropped my Pixel 3XL. Only complaint is the phone doesn't always charge on the Google wireless charging dock with the case on. Other than that, the case is awesome
I like the case and feel it is supportive but the edge is getting really dirty and it is only two weeks old. Picking up blue from jeans pocket. Pink is now dirty grey
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Djboy,
We are sorry that this Symmetry case is getting dirty. We understand why this could be disappointing and we certainly want to help. We always suggest cleaning our products using mild soap and water (never with abrasive or corrosive cleaners that may damage the case). If this doesn’t clear things up, please feel free to give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269 and we will be happy to assist in any way that we can!
I've previously had Motorola phones and have had both the commuter and defender series cases (and loved them!). I was hoping this would be the equivalent of the commuter, but it falls short. It definitely feels less protective as a one layer case and I'm really disappointed it doesn't include a charging port cover. It does feel well made and fits well, but all OtterBoxs do. I work outside, so as much as I hate the bulk, I'll probably end up with a defender in the spring to protect the charging port from dirt (although I'm worried about the defender fitting with a glass screen protector as I've read some reviews it doesn't, and screen protection is something I am NOT willing to compromise on). All in all, it's okay, I'm sure it will protect my phone, but it could be better.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hi Shinch,
We are sorry that the Symmetry case is not quite meeting your expectations. We agree that the Defender case may be a better fit for your needs. Below is a link that will take you to those options when you are ready.
I bought this case after I ordered my pixel 3. They should have used a light colored phone when advertising it bc it's even more beautiful than the pictures on the website! I got the not Pink color and it's so pretty.
I bought this item a few weeks ago. It’s pretty and, of course, very sturdy, but the squeeze option on my phone no longer works while in the case. Also my ringer is now so muted that I can barely hear the phone ring even though it’s set at the highest volume. I’ll be shopping for a replacement. I’m very disappointed...
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hey, Gene!
We're sorry to hear that you're not able to activate your Google Assistant with your Symmetry Series case on! That's definitely a feature that should be working with your OtterBox. We would recommend removing your case and reinstalling it, as that should help get things lined up a bit better. If that doesn't work, please don't hesitate to reach out to our amazing Customer Service Team, here: https://www.otterbox.com/en-us/contact-us
What this case does good is protect your phone. It's rugged and tough. The moment you place the phone in it, it will keep it safe forever. But there are some serious issues: Wireless charging becomes very slow, or the phone doesn't get charged at all. The squeeze function is also effected. For the price, the feel and look of the plastic itself is cheap.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Jonas,
We're so sorry to hear that this Symmetry series seems to be struggling with some functionality matters! This is definitely odd, since that particular case was tested and engineered to provide complete access to all device features, including wireless charging and the squeeze function. Our Otter investigators would like to take a closer look at this, so please don't hesitate to give them a call at 1-855-688-7269. They'll hold up a magnifying glass to the situation and solve this mystery before you know it!

Purchased the Otterbox while waiting for my Pixel 3 XL to arrive. As luck would have it, I dropped the Pixel two days after placing into the case. Thankfully, the phone survived without a scratch. Whew. Very happy to have the Otterbox.
