Very Happy with the sturdiness of this cover. It gave me the confidence (I am a very clumsy person). However I find the process of application of the case to the phone is not that easy and the packaging lacks instruction on how to do it. But its not a big deal as I managed to google it. Highly recommended if you are looking for a full protection. A little bit bulky, hence not as pocket friendly as the Otterbox symmetry series.
Awesome phone case that offers a lot of protection while feeling great in your hands. I drop my phone quite often so I needed a case with good protection without to much bulk and this case is it! I am able to use my wireless charger even with this case on so that's an added benefit. Love the pop socket too! The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because I'm not a fan of the color combo (Winter). I wish the interior color was either white or a better matching blue/green. Purchased for my iPhone Xs and it fits perfectly!
Having to remove the pop to wireless charge my iPhone on my pad is a hassle. The pop idea is a good one. I just don't think it's a good fit for phones with wireless charging.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

If you have any additional questions or comments, please feel welcome to call our friendly Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll be glad to further assist you!
I love otter box and was so excited to get this but the pop blocks the spot where it needs to connect to a cordless charger. They should include that in the description

Hi, Ellen!
We're sorry to hear about any frustration with your Otter + Pop Defender Series case! While that case is compatible with Qi charging, we do recommend removing the PopTop for the best charging experience. If you run into any other issues with your case, please don't hesitate to reach out to our Customer Service Team here: https://www.otterbox.com/en-us/support
I am not happy with the thing on the back. I like a plain flat back. The case is not bad. I like things plain and simple.

Hi, Fredster!
We're sorry that you're not liking your new Otter + Pop Symmetry Series case! If you're looking for something a little more flat on the back, we'd suggest checking out our regular Symmetry Series case. Check that case out here: https://www.otterbox.com/en-us/apple-iphone-xs-max/symmetry-series-case/77-60028.html#prefn1=color&prefn2=series&prefv1=Black&prefv2=Symmetry+Series&start=1
Case is too slippery, and the pop socket is located too high on the case. Full rubberized corners would go a long way.

Didn’t like that with the way the case was designed it would be plastic against the glass with no foam like cushion I didn’t feel it was as secure as a plain symmetry
