this phone is too large for this kind of case. The pop socket did not support the weight of the phone nor was it long enough or sturdy.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi there!
We're sorry to hear about your frustration with your Otter + Pop Symmetry Series case! While using that OtterBox as a stand, we usually suggest pulling the PopTop all the way out then angling one side up. This allows you to use the side that's still popped out as the stand for your phone. Additionally, we recommend having the camera-side of your phone down and close to the stable surface and recommend placing something under the PopSocket to ensure the correct viewing angle is achieved.
If you continue having issues with your OtterBox, feel free to call us at 1-855-688-7269, and we can get you taken care of.
I bought this case recently to replace my clear case that had turned yellow. I love the design and sleek look of this one! At first I was a little skeptical about the pop socket being built into the case, but honestly it doesn't bother me at all and it's nice having it.
I love otter box, used to get the defender, then fell in love with the Commuter series, which you don’t seem to have anymore, so I tried Symmetry. I decided on the Pop Case because I would have spend extra money to buy a pop socket if my case didn’t have one.
What a great feature, as sometimes the Popsocket adhesive wears down, especially in warm conditions.
Onto the actual case. It’s very pretty, but asp pretty slippery, which has caused it to slip out of hand a few times already.
The bumper on the front doesn’t give me much faith that it will be protected against a face down drop as past cases I’ve had. Especially because I put on a glass protector, it’s almost flush with the bumper edges.
Lastly, I understand that a built in popsocket takes up case real estate, but I am concerned that there isn’t any padding/shock protection on the inside of the case.
I guess I need more time than a couple of weeks to see how I really like it, but these are my observations so far.
Great protection, but the pop socket won’t hold my phone up when it’s at an angle
I would recommend this to a friend!

The case material feels slippery. After having the case only a few days, the material is starting to peel back and is sharp to the touch.
