I have had the grey product with the red silicon around it and although there is solid protection and it is slim, the red has gotten so dirty that it doesn't look red anymore. There is no way to clean it, I have tried everything. I was very disappointed in the quality of the silicon around the case.
Cons: Low quality, Not durable, hard to clean, dirty easily
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Beware!! I bought this beautiful case loved it. Great protection. Loved the design. PROBLEM....I had to cut the bottom off to get it on my Bose speaker.. Suggestion..make the bottom narrower so it will fit speakers
Pros: High quality
Cons: doesn't fit portable speakers
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have been an Otterbox Defender case holder since the iPhone 3GS. I have faithfully updated my case with each new phone. I love the Defender case, but it is bulky. My only complaint with the Defender case.
When I saw the Symmetry case, I thought that it would be a nice change to something thinner, but still protective except from water. It is thinner and that is a pro. I have only dropped my iPhone on the carpet, so I can't comment on protection yet.
My problem is a huge con...the back is so slippery that I have in only a couple of weeks dropped my phone a couple of times and numerous times almost dropped it, but kept my phone from actually landing. The drops have come primarily when I pull my phone from my pocket or once it slipped off a table at an angle. With the Defender case, I dropped my phone exactly twice in 5 years.
Then comes using my iPhone. With the back so slippery, my phone is uncomfortable to use and hold. It constantly is sliding down my hands. This makes game playing tougher.
Would I recommend the Symmetry case? Depends...how dry are your hands and how small? My hands are small and dry, and I cannot recommend it. I am planning on switching back to the Defender case after a month of Symmetry case usage if I cannot overcome the cons. I figured I'd give the new case a month to impress, but sadly it has not.
Pros: thin
Cons: too slippery
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I loved how cute and stylish this phone case was when I bought it. However, it only took one drop and the whole entire screen was shattered. I expected much better quality of my phone case and was extremely disappointed in the case.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I love the Brazilian Pop design on my Otterbox case. The colors are vibrant, bright as I like colors to be. It fits my 5S beautifully.
I would recommend this to a friend!
