Symmetry - Love the Slim/Design - Hate the Colour
on April 16, 2014
Posted by: VeryMary
I waited months to get this case. Was really shocked that the colour of the Cheetah Pink was not as shown on the site. Site shows a fuschia/raspberry type pink and what I thought was a black lining so would blend with my black iphone face. Turns out it is a unattractive neon bubble gum pink with dark grey lining. SAD FACE
Pros: Durable, sleek design
Cons: colour not as shown
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have been a loyal user of Otter Box phone cases since my Blackberry. I bought this case and as usual it is amazing!!!! I love the look, the protection, and the over all quality of the case. Will be buying another just so I have a couple of different looks to choose from.
Pros: High quality, Durable

I have owned several other Otter box products and really like the quality of these products. The only downside was the bulkiness of the cases. As a professional, I wanted my phone to have a professional look but still be protected. The Symmetry case fits the bill with it's sleek design. I really like the fact that I can now slip my phone easily into my pockets without all the bulk. The only thing that I miss about my Defender case is the silicone backing that keeps my phone from sliding in the car. It was an easy fix I purchased a silicone mat to set my phone on.
Pros: High quality, Durable

Since purchasing my phone 2 years ago, I always used Otterbox Defender cases because I was afraid of cracking the phone's screen. I really wanted a streamlined look and found the Symmetry series. I read reviews on durability and safety of these cases and decided to take a chance. Got the Brazilian Pop case and a tempered glass screen protector and LOVE IT! The colors on this case are very vibrant and the artwork is beautiful! In addition, it's much more sleek and attractive. While I agree with other reviewers that this case feels somewhat slippery (in comparison to the Defender case), I feel that it's just a matter of adjusting to the difference in the grip (Symmetry is not rubbery like Defender). Overall, I totally recommend this product if you want your phone to appear more attractive, be easier to put in a pocket, and yet have a superb line of defense against breakage of your phone! Well done, Otterbox!
Pros: High quality, Durable, attractive appearance

Three weeks after purchasing my Otter Box I fell down on an uneven sidewalk with my phone in my hand. It sailed out of my hand as I fell and landed face down on the crackled cement. I picked it up and found that it had absolutely not one scratch or chip in it. This is my second Otter Box, and I would not put my IPhone in any other case!

I saw this case before it was released and was extremely excited about it. Ordered it right as it became available and it was promptly shipped and delivered as expected.
Overall, I absolutely love this case. it is extremely easy to take on and off and fits like a glove. No extra room that shouldn't be there, the volume and power button on the top are covered with form-fitting buttons that are easy to press. The case is super slim in general, but especially so compared to other OB cases. That being said, it clearly offers great protection and feels extremely solid. Have had a few drops already without any issues. The soft inner rubber also has a lip that extends a few millimeters above the screen which is very handy. This protects your screen when drops occur and the rubber also gently adheres to surfaces so you can set your phone screen down on a table or something without worrying about sliding, although you're covered it were to fall off of something!
In terms of cons, only a few things I will mention. The case is pricey, although so high quality and well fitted that I would repeat my purchase. Also wish it came with a screen protector. Additionally, while the triangle pattern generally looks great on the back, on the sides it looks a little faded, like the material with the print on it was stretched over the sides and now appears lighter at the edges of the print on all sides. That's really the only unexpected quality issue I encountered.
Again, overall a great case that I would buy again. Amazing protection, slim case, just a very very minor issue with the pattern printing that you hardly notice, and no one else will.
Pros: High quality, Durable, well-fitted
I would recommend this to a friend!
