I love the protection my new Symmetry case provides, it is also sleek and fits in my pocket easily. The only thing I do NOT like it the color. On the website it looks like a pretty dusty rose color with lavender inside and instead it is an obnoxious neon pink with a plum purple inside. After I received it in the mail I went back to the webiste and looked again to make sure I didn't sees the color wrong and it still looks like dusty rose and lavender to me (on the website) but is NOT those colors in person.
What I really want it the new "cheetah pink" symmetry case, It says it's coming "early spring" (which I think is right now!) I signed up to be notified when the cheetah pink becomes available and I can't wait until it does. Hopefully it is the color it looks like on the website and not a totally different color like the "crushed damson" color I currently have.

Pros: High quality, Durable
Cons: color misrepresented on website

The case is a very nice, thin case. I like the fact that the earphone and silence areas are open for easy use. I was very disappointed that a screen protector did not come with like with the other OtterBox cases that I have purchased. I ordered the denim case and the color is ..... different. It doesn't really look like it does on line. It would be great if we could customize the case. I'm not too sure of how durable it is because I haven't dropped my phone, but the case does feel pretty durable.
Pros: thin case
Cons: no screen protector, color isn't all that great
I would recommend this to a friend!

The print is not staying on. Its really pretty but the quality of the paint or whatever they use is terrible.
Cons: Low quality
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I had the Life proof cases and they were defective for waterproofing and fell apart. I tried the Defender Otter Box and it was amazing but for my work couldn't have something so clunky. I tried this Symmetry case and it has protected my phone no doubts about it but the plastic could be harder to keep less marks in it. I find it gets marked easy.
Pros: High quality, Durable, light weight, doesn't effect typing ability
Cons: marks easy
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have had 2 other Otter boxes and they both cracked and were very cumbersome to take on and off. I just got the Symmetry Series case for my iPhone 5s and it's lighter than my other OtterBox, easier to hold, and I love the color (Eden) that I picked. I also know it's protecting my phone just as good as my other Otter Box cases. I would definitely recommend this case to others.
Pros: High quality, Durable

I've been waiting for OtterBox to come out with a slim design since they quit making the Impact. When I bought my iPhone 5s I seen the new slim line design Symmetry. I had to try it and so far so good. I love it. Fits in pocket without bulk. Can't say that I've had a big drop, just a small one with no problems. Feels like the same great protection of the other OtterBox's. It's easy to put on and take off. I used the Clearly Protected Vibrant screen protector with it and love it too. The only thing I would suggest would be to add a color that's a little more laid back or natural for us who don't like bright colors.
Pros: High quality, Durable, slim with no bulk, easy on and off
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have always went with the Defender series but did not like the bulky case. The Symmetry Series is durable and slim enough to put in my pocket. I chose the TRIANGLE GREY design and love it!
Pros: High quality, Durable
Cons: no protective screen

I am sorry that I have to give this case only three stars. I really wanted to like it. I love the design. The pattern is beautiful and I like the slimline aspect of this case. The reason I had to return it was the hard plastic on the outside. I wish this had been made with a soft-touch feel. The smooth plastic was just too slippery and wanted to slip out of my hand. If it had been made with a more slip-resistant material, I definitely would have kept this.
Pros: High quality
Cons: needs more grip
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
