Building in the pop socket grip to the otter box raises the latter to a solid new level. Add to that the fact that you can interchange the pop socket top with another top (e.g. the all-seeing eye) that you like and you have a winning combo. Very creative!
I used Otterbox for my previous I7 and it wasn’t a difficult decision to buy it for my Max. I love the sleek and lightweight design and the color is an attention grabber.
Cover is good and very sturdy. The PopSockets integration is very good as you don’t have to worry about your phone over heating and falling off. Already bought 2 more
The pop socket piece is very flexible and does not support the full weight of the phone and case together (when used as a stand, tilted). Perhaps if you put a different pop socket on it would be ok. The case itself is great and I have been happy with previous Otter Box cases.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi there!
We're sorry to hear about any disappointment with your Otter + Pop Defender Series case! We usually suggest pulling out the PopTop all the way, then pushing down one side. This allows you to use the side that's still popped out as the stand for your phone. We see that a return has already been started for you, but we do hope that you're able to find an OtterBox case that suits your needs. If you have any questions about our cases, please don't hesitate to give us a call at 1-855-688-7269, and we can get your questions answered!
Not only is it beautiful, but it’s incredibly functional as well with the added in pop socket spot. It’s also soo lightweight for my big phone. The only downfall is that I couldn’t get it to work with wireless charging. Otter box- if you’re reading this- if you know of a specific wireless charger that works with this case, hit me up please!
