I'm glad I bought this case. The only issue I really had with so far was is the built-in screen protector. I removed it. All is well. Love the pop. Never used one before. Wouldn't go without it now.
Have been using this type of carrier for 10+ years. Starting with an I-Phone 4, then an I-Phone 7 and now an I-Phone SE. Have drop phone from around 10 feet and run over with M/C, no damage to phone.
My item arrived quickly, was the perfect color, and I LOVED the pop-socket option. Otter boxes are a bit bulky, of course, but I am clumsy and this saves my phone every single time.
I bought this so that i could use a popsocket with my wireless charging pad. I also watch a lot of videos on my phone so i had a popsocket attached to my previous otterbox to function as a stand. Because THIS particular otterbox is so bulky, the popsocket doesn’t provide enough distance to create a stable stand. So it is basically a useless and expensive ornament on my phone. Would only recommend it if you use the popsocket more for grip while holding your phone. Otherwise, i regret this purchase. But i always get otterboxes for my phones cuz i am clumsy, and am a fan of the quality. This collab could have just used a better thoughtout design.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hey Beao,
We're sorry to learn your latest Otter + Pop purchase hasn't been too great. To use the standing feature, we suggest pulling the PopTop all the way out and then angling it with your camera closest to the surface. This will help balance things out!
Feel free to contact us for any further questions or comments and we'd be glad to assist! https://www.otterbox.com/en-us/support
I got my new phone and case recently and am very happy with it. I have not only dropped but accidentally threw my phone and it has been fine. I should warn anyone going from really old defender series cases to one for the new phones, I had to buy a separate screen protector (also OtterBox) that is also doing a great job. I am in love with the pop feature if this case, it is new to me but so convenient!
This phone case with the POV thing to hold my phone securely with 1 hand is amazing! Very durable and rugged. If we take care of our phones as well as this case will, we can reduce e-waste and save time and money. I will always have an Otter Box on my phone.
However, the screen is a bit annoying. I cut the screen out of case with a razor. I know this may void the warranty on it, but I do have a screen protector on the phone itself.
I loved the otter box I had with my other phone. And I knew I had to have one for my new phone. It’s sturdy and easy to hold in your hands - and I love the new color.
