Case fits iPhone 8 well. the pop socket doesn't extend far enough for a good grip, for adult male anyway.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I’ve been using OtterBox cases since iPhone 3, (I’m up to 7). As soon as I saw the Symmetry case with the built-in Pop Socket, I knew it was a winner. The slim design protects my phone and the pop socket is perfect, especially when I clip it to a holder accessory in my car. Thank you!
I am happy with my purchase as it is not bulky yet it still protects my phone. I love that it came with a built in pop socket and the design allows it to be"pocket friendly" so it does not get caught on anything when being put in a pocket.
I had my wifes phone on the back of a car that I was working on, and I took off up the street and brought it up to about 75 mph the phone fell of and went off the road, I hunted the phone down, still worked, glass untouched and it had a slight bend in phone, the case save the day!!
