I recently bought my first iPhone, and I was going to put it in a lifeproof case since I liked it's slim design. After using the lifeproof case for one day, I returned it because there was a bubble under the screen protector that would not go away, and you needed an adapter to use your headphones or the audio cord in your car. I then found the Symmetry Eden/Teal OtterBox a few days later. I was drawn to this Otterbox because it had a gorgeous pattern on the back and a slim design. I also have friends who swear by the Defender OtterBoxes. I love this case because it easily fits in the back pocket of my shorts, and I do not need an adapter to use my headphones. I have also dropped my phone on tile and asphalt, and the only damage is a small black mark where the case hit the asphalt. The only con I can think of is that the dye from some of my jean shorts rubs off on the front rubber part that surrounds the edge of the phone. However, I knew my case would show dirt since I went with teal. The dye also comes off if you wipe the case with a damp paper towel.
Pros: High quality, Durable, slim design, easy to take on/off
I love the everything about my new otter box....except for the small signs of wear on the rubber parts of the case...it is changing colour a bit. Overall an excellent case!
Great looking case, however the plastic covering the on button is of a different quality to the rest of the case & has degraded in just over a week, disappointing .
I have always used the defender in the past, so this case feels vulnerable but I love the slim design. Very well made and fits nice and secure. I added a tempered glass screen cover for added protection. I love it!
I have received so many compliments on my new case (Eden). It is BEAUTIFUL!
And as always, the case is very durable. But until I drop my phone, I won't know 100% as to how it performs. I do know that the ONLY time I've ever had another case on my phone when I dropped it...my phone BROKE!
