For the second time now (ordered one, broken, returned for a replacement, and now second one broken again), the pop-it socket on the back has come broken. Once expanded, it’s just shredded and doesn’t hold shape (stay out). I had this case for my iPhone8 for years and loved it. So when I got an iPhone 13, I knew exactly what case I wanted. Disappointed in it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Case is nice but very slippery. The only grip is the pop socket. Also does not charge wireless as advertised even after pop socket is removed. I was duped.

Hi there!
We're sorry to hear about your disappointment with your Otter + Pop Symmetry Series case! We appreciate your feedback about the grip provided by your case, and we'll be sure to let our design team know about your experience. While that case is compatible with Qi charging, we do suggest removing the PopTop to improve charging functionality. Additionally, we recommend OtterBox Power accessories for best wireless charging experience. If you end up running into any issues with your OtterBox, please don't hesitate to reach out to our stellar team of Customer Service Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and we can get you helped out.
Without any cover my phone felt slippery and I worried about dropping it. It has a sturdiness, and a texture to it that makes me feel like it wont slip out of my hands.
I bough a new iPhone 13 and the only case I wanted was an Otterbox with a PopSocket. I love how it fits my smaller hands. It’s a convenient way to keep your phone secure in your hands.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I've been sent 3 defective cases in a row, I've used this type of case for my last 2 iPhones, but the new ones seem to be of a lower quality that previous cases. The popsocket just falls apart immediately or after a day's use.

We can honestly say that throughout all of our internal testing of the Otter + Pop Symmetry Series, the PopTop component merely falling apart has never presented itself as an issue.
We're sorry that you've had such a peculiar string of frustrating experiences, and we'd love to learn more about how and when those pieces are meeting their untimely demise in hopes that we can help you to have a far better and more consistent go of it moving forward.
Just give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269 and we'll go from there.
The idea of the pop socket being attached directly to the case is a really cool idea so it doesn’t stick out especially in your pocket, however it is locked to the one location and if you have larger fingers( like me ) it’s tough to fit them under the pop socket. I really like it don’t get me wrong but if you are one to put your pop socket in a more convenient location for your hands you may want to just get the regular otterbox case. Overall I would give it a 8 out of 10 just for that reason. The case it’s self is great. Dropped my phone around 5-6 times on pavement and it did what it was designed to do….protect the phone!
Great case. Was supose to be a gift but shipping took two weeks to get here.

While it's great to know you're otherwise a fan of the Otter + Pop Symmetry Series case, we were sorry to hear the shipping time goofed up your gift a bit. Hopefully the recipient of your generosity is fully enjoying the case at this point, but if either of you ever has any Otter questions or concerns, just give us a call at 1-855-688-7269 and we'll always be happy to help!
