My car has a wireless charging pad. The phone will not charge on it with the case even if I remove the pop socket.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi there!
We're sorry to hear about your disappointment with your Otter + Pop Symmetry Series case! While that case is compatible with Qi charging, some chargers will perform better than others, so a different charging base may work better for you. Additionally, we recommend OtterBox Power accessories for the best wireless charging experience. If you end up running into any issues with your case, please don't hesitate to reach out to our stellar team of Customer Service Otters through the link below, or give us a ring at 1-855-688-7269.
I purchased this case with my new Iphone 12 pro. In a fairly short time, the edge material turned brown. It was replaced but has done the same thing again. Now after a drop, the whole back of my phone is shattered. 4 months until my phone is paid off so hoping the shattered glass will stay intact.

Thanks for the heads-up on the discouraging experience you've recently had. We were very sorry to learn that your iPhone 12 Pro emerged from that drop with such damage to its backside.
Although we put each of our case designs through rigorous drop testing, there are still many unique dynamics at play with any given incident that prevents us from being able to eliminate all exposure to risk. Our warranty won't be able to help with repairs to your Apple device, but we would very much like to help with a new OtterBox for a fresh start.
Please feel welcome to give us a call at 1-855-688-7269 and we will be glad to assist you with this.

My phone Shattered

My phone shattered when my phone fell from my hand. I am really upset. I thought this case would help since it is bulkier than other cases.

Your discouragement is certainly understandable, and we are very sorry to learn of the damage your iPhone sustained while under the watch of the Otter + Pop Symmetry Series case. Although we genuinely put forth every effort—from design and materials to manufacturing and post-production testing—to ensure our cases will provide the best protection available to help limit the potential for such outcomes, unfortunately, any given incident is still subject to a variety of unique dynamics that are at times beyond our control.
Our warranty can't be extended to your Apple device, but we'd love to help get you set up with a new OtterBox for a fresh start on that side of things. Please feel welcome to touch base at 1-855-688-7269 and we'll be glad to assist you further.

shattered back
on October 23, 2023
Posted by: iphone12pop
I usually don't write reviews, but was very upset to find that the back of my iphone 12 shattered while using the otter box Pop Symmetry case. I have not been able to get my phone to charge wirelessly since getting the case, but that is something I was ok dealing with. Unfortunately at work tonight a wireless charger was the only thing available and when I took off the case I discovered the back of my phone was shattered. This is the first time I've taken the case off since putting it on over a year ago, and the back of my phone wasn't cracked when I put on the case. I'm hoping it is just the pop symmetry series - I have had great experiences with otter box in the past but am now hesitant to use another otter box
I've had this case now for a couple of weeks for my new iPhone 12 Pro, so far so good. My biggest worry is that it may yellow because of the clear case but we shall see ... I would've given it 5-stars if it weren't for the fact that it was a little cumbersome getting the phone in (which could technically be a good thing), but so far with regards to the protection - it is solid. I like that the case does cover all edges and there is no room for budging and/or slippage of the phone.
I've always been happy with my other otterbox cases. I do like that it showcases the beauty of the new phone color ... and having a exchangeable/removable popsocket is a plus.
I do worry about wireless charging - I don't feel that this case is made for it (due to thickness).
I bought this for my sons new IPHONE 12 PRO expecting that it would work with the MagSafe charger as it stated it would. But it absolutely does NOT. so that was very disappointing. Besides that of course I love the case. It's otterbox afterall!

Hi, Cindy!
We're sorry to hear about your frustration with your Otter + Pop Symmetry Series case! While that case is compatible with Qi charging pads, it is not designed for optimal functionality with MagSafe accessories. That being said, we have a sizeable lineup of OtterBox cases that we designed specifically to interact with Apple's MagSafe ecosystem. Check those out here: https://www.otterbox.com/en-us/iphone-12-pro?prefn1=featuresRefinements&prefv1=Made%20for%20MagSafe
The popsocket is actually to small to hold up the iPhone 12 pro. It constantly falls over and almost damaged my phone several times because of it.

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. 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/contact-us
It is very nice, well made case. It provides great protection to my new phone. I do wish the pop socket feature was a little lower on the back of the phone. It would be a more comfortable hold. Overall great though
