I bought this case for my new iPhone SE. I like the built in pop socket. The case is durable but a bit bulky. The Touch ID does not work at all with the phone in this case which is a major issue for me. Simply because of that I’ll have to find a different case.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Judd,
We're so sorry this Otter + Pop Defender Series case isn't delivering the seamless interaction you were hoping for.
This is strange because we designed this fingerprint film with careful precision and thought, so functionality shouldn't be an issue. If you're game, we'd love to look into this below before you give up on this Defender!
I bought this case in blue with the swapable pop-socket for my iPhone SE (2nd gen). I am super clumsy and tend to drop my phone a lot but Otter Box Defender cases have saved my iPhones in the past. The case color selection could be better but the blue case is a good color. I really do love having a pop socket on my Otter Box defender.
Now I have NO worries about dropping my iphone! I can hold it easily and set it on edge to take videos. And it looks classy - black with a pretty daisy pop socket!
I have used Otterbox for a very long time and now as soon as I upgrade phones, I immediately buy the Defender Series case for total ease of mind and totally trust my phone will be protected by the best and most experienced protection available... Nuff said
