I’ve used an Otterbox Defender on every iPhone I’ve owned. They are definitely the best case when it comes to protecting your phone. I’ve never had one break in one (knock on wood). I’ve always wanted to purchase a Popsocket but I never did. This was because I thought it would be too bulky and would interfere with wireless charging. This case has solved all my problems! The Popsocket sits almost flush so you can still wirelessly charge. My pinky finger no longer hurts from resting my phone on it. This was seriously one of the greatest collaborations ever.
The case is 99% exactly what I wanted as a gift for my dad - a rancher who is tough on gadgets. The only downfall is that the pop socket (despite what the customer service pop up person said) does not compress entirely flush within the case.
I was actually waiting for this case since I received an email stating that they were bringing these cases with the pop sockets out. So when they finally came out I bought one right away and I’m definitely not disappointed. Love the defender cases but the pop socket makes it so much easier to hold my phone since I have the IPhone 7plus. I just wish the cases came in more colors instead of just black and blue. Still love my case though!
This case is excellent! I love that it keeps my phone well protected and thanks to the built in pop socket it’s easy to hold on to and I can still use my wireless charger! Would definitely recommend.
I have issues with my power button and couldn’t open the charging flap for a few weeks. I have an iPhone X and to turn my phone off I have to press the right button + up volume at the same time. The case just doesn’t let me easily do that. Frustrating
I would recommend this to a friend!

Please feel welcome to give them a quick call at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll gladly do what they can to help restore your stellar security!
Bought this because I was hoping the popsocket would work as a horizontal and vertical stand and make the phone easier to handle. It works ok as a horizontal stand but collapses when trying to use it as a vertical stand. Also the case on my iPhone 10s Max makes it too large to hold well in one hand. So I returned the case. Build quality is good so if you have big hands and like popsockets than this is the case for you.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
