Had it 2 weeks and the button won’t balance it. Constantly falls over. I can’t believe I paid this huge amount to be no better than my $15 cover

Hi there!
We're sorry to hear that your Otter + Pop Symmetry Series case has left you feeling disappointed. 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. If that doesn't help, give us a ring at 1-855-688-7269, and we'll get you helped out with some more troubleshooting tips!
I’ve had this case for a few days now. I love the feel of it! I love that the built in pop socket flattens flush with the rest of the case. The flap over the lightening port is VERY hard to open, but I expect that to improve with use, and I would rather it be hard to open than hard to close!
I had bought a different otter box before this and dropped it twice. Both times the protective glass shattered. This time I bought the defender again and will do so in the future. Also, love the pop socket. I also bought one for my husband for Christmas. We hove love them. Only downside is putting the cases on.
The pop socket doesn't work, pull it out and it tips over.

Hey, Trevor!

If you continue to have issues with your case, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at 1-855-688-7269, and we'd be more than happy to get you taken care of.
Very pretty color, and looks to be durable. My only issue is that with the popsocket, which gives a slight bump on the back, my phone can no longer be held by my car mount, or wirelessly charge. I have to remove the popsocket to do that. However,the added popsocket is still a big plus, not to mention the gorgeous dark pink!
Doesn’t have any protection on the front screen. If buying from Canada, way overpriced.

Hi Tann,
We're so sorry you're having mixed feelings about this Defender Series case.
We decided to fore-go the built-in screen protector to ensure complete functionality with the curved touchscreen. Our engineers redesigned the Defender Series in order to provide the same drop protection even without the built-in screen protector or an extra glass screen protector. The addition of the Alpha Glass provides your phone with premium protection and outperforms our previous Defender Series designs. Feel free to check it out below!
It’s a really solid case, for sure will keep your (and mine) phone safe. It’s just the little things that take the score down. The photos online of the case don’t exactly match up with the build. The surround ridge on the back side seems way more pronounced in the picture than on the actual case, seems small and petty but I was looking for that style to give such a bulky case some character. The biggest complaint I have about the case though is that the pop is not actually centerer on the centre of gravity of the actual phone, again seems petty but when the phone is in the pop holders sold by pop it slowly leans and finally flips upside down...if you try and start horizontal (like to watch a movie) it’s does not stay at all. All that said, if you don’t plan on using the stand that pop sells to hold the case (as I did for it’s minimalist size in the car and work) it’s a solid case, I work as a paramedic and no longer worry about the phone breaking or cracking while at work.
I would recommend this to a friend!
