Overall, the case is of typical OB quality and does what it’s supposed to do. I am a fan of the pop-socket. I hadn’t used one in a long time and forgot what it was like to have one, this reminded me how convenient it is. The integration is very nice and looks like it should be there. There’s no real bulge or inconvenience. I will say it’s a bit of a challenge to change the pop socket if you want to customize it. I’ve found it’s infinitely easier to change without the phone in the case.
Now, the real reason it’s just OK. I drive a Toyota Tacoma which has a built in wireless charger. This case DOES NOT work with this charger. It’s very frustrating and inconvenient. I have not tested on any other wireless chargers, but since I spend so much time in the car, this may be a deal breaker eventually. For now, I am conceding the fact it won’t charge in my car without a cable.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hi there!
We're glad to hear that you're liking your Otter + Pop Symmetry Series case for the most part, but we're bummed to hear about your frustration with Qi charging! While we did design that case with wireless charging in mind, we do recommend removing the PopTop for improved charging functionality. Additionally, some chargers perform better with our cases than others, and we've found that OtterBox Power options tend to lead to the best charging experience with an OtterBox case. If you run into any other issues with your case, please don't hesitate to reach out to our helpful team of Customer Service Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and we can get you taken care of.
The case is nice, seems to protect the phone just fine. Is extremely difficult to put on the phone. The phone will not charge on Qi in my vehicle, even if I take the “pop” off. Very disappointed. Tempted to return it, but can’t get my phone out.
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 need any additional assistance, please don't hesitate to give us a ring at 1-855-688-7269, and we can get you helped out.
Not impressed with my white popsocket “OtterBox case” Weak popsocket , socket not dependable to extend. Very weak and unpredictable. Waste of $$$

Hi, Cherylee!
We're sorry to hear about your disappointment with your Otter + Pop Symmetry Series case! It sounds like you may be having a bit of trouble using that PopTop as a stand. The good news is, we have a simple tip to make that work a bit better! 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 that doesn't help, or you were experiencing a different issue, please don't hesitate to reach out to our helpful Customer Service Team at 1-855-688-7269, and we can get you helped out.
I love the Otterbox Pop Socket Cases. I had one for my IPhone XsMax and now that I have upgraded, I purchased this case. I love the color and function.
Does not charge good on wireless charger. This was not a good purchase. I charged my phone for 8 hours last night & it only charged to 93%.

My pop socket doesn’t work properly
on April 2, 2021
Posted by: KellyL
I bought it almost 2 months ago and my pop socket is loose or just broken because I can’t use it as a stander to prop up my phone from the day I got it. I thought maybe it was the fact that I have the iPhone max but I tested out my husbands otter pop socket and it is a lot more durable and the “pop-ability” on his is beyond better than mines.

Hi, Kelly!
We're sorry to hear that your Otter + Pop Symmetry Series case isn't working as a stand! We usually suggest pulling the PopTop all the way out, then pushing down one side. This allows you to use the side that's still popped out as the stand for your phone. Having said that, it sounds like you may need a replacement case if your PopTop is loose. If it's an issue with the case itself, please don't hesitate to reach out to our Customer Service Team at 1-855-688-7269 or through the "contact us" link below. If the PopTop is the damaged piece, we'd recommend reaching out to PopSockets Customer Service here: https://help.popsockets.com/hc/en-us/articles/360045694152-Otter-Pop-Issues
