It’s nothing like the original Strada. Very disappointed with my purchase. Sent case back. Want the original Strada.

Hi, Tina!
We're sorry to hear that you weren't a fan of your Strada Series Via! We appreciate your feedback, and we'll be sure to get your thoughts passed up the ladder to our design team. In the meantime, we'd recommend checking out our standard Strada Series case here: https://www.otterbox.com/en-us/iphone-12-mini/strada-series-case/77-65372.html#prefn1=featuresRefinements&prefv1=Wallet&start=1
I replaced my Iphone 8 with an Iphone 12 mini, happy that there was a new Iphone smaller in size than the 8 now available. I had a Otterbox Strada series cover for my 8 which I loved, so I ordered a Strada series for my new 12 mini. I was disappointed when it arrived to find that the case for the 12 mini is LARGER than the Iphone 8 with case. Otterbox missed the mark on this one. The reason for buying a 12 mini is to go smaller, not bigger.....

Hi there!
We're sorry to hear about your disappointment with your Strada Series Via! We appreciate your feedback, and we'll be sure to get this passed up the ladder to our design team. In the meantime, we'd suggest checking out our standard Strada Series case, as that sounds more like what you're wanting. Take a look at that here: https://www.otterbox.com/en-us/iphone-12-mini/strada-series-case/77-65371.html#prefn1=featuresRefinements&prefv1=Wallet&start=1
First problem, the case itself is sized for a fullsize iphone and only the tray for the phone is sized for an iphone mini. Second, the case is harder to grip and more slippery than the phone itself. In other words, it makes your phone around 40% larger and also makes the surface less grippable, so you'll be more likely to drop you your phone. Also, I think most people (myself at least) bought the iphone 12 mini because it was small, so a case that makes it larger is subtracting, not adding value.

Hi there!
We're sorry to hear about your disappointment with your Strada Series Via! That case is actually designed with a slightly larger profile in mind, so it's not simply using the same cutout across multiple devices. We appreciate your feedback, and we'll be sure to let our design team know about your experience. If you're looking for something a bit sleeker that still includes the folio option, we'd suggest taking a look at our standard Strada Series case here: https://www.otterbox.com/en-us/iphone-12-mini/strada-series-case/77-65371.html#prefn1=featuresRefinements&prefv1=Wallet&start=1
Will fully charge iPhone 12 Mini on Bellini Boost while in case. Bellini, Apple and Otter all say this works but it does not work. One or more are wrong.
