OtterBox - Symmetry Series Case for Apple® iPhone® 6 - Glacier

This Otterbox case - Symmetry Series, is sleek and slim but still affords a high level of protection. I'm very pleased with how it feels in my hand and fits in my pocket. I like it so much I'm getting one for my wife..

When I got my iPhone 6 I knew it had a date with the concrete. It's so satiny and rounded. Otter came to my rescue and nestled my prize in reliable protection.

I originally purchased the Defender series case since Lifeproof has yet to release their Fre for the iPhone 6. The Defender protected it great but I was immediately turned off by the size. I could not text with one hand and my hands are by no means small. The Commuter seemed a bit smaller but the Symmetry caught my eye because it is one piece and can work with screen protectors. I had the Best Buy rep install the ZAGG Invisishield Glass Screen Protector and the case does not interfere with it and vise versa. I now have a slim case and a great screen protector.

I had the Otter Box Commuter for my iPhone 5. The Commuter is two pieces, the plastic at the bottom broke but Otter Box replaced it with no problems. The replacement case broke in the same place but it lasted several months. I was able to get two years of heavy use between the original case and the replacement one. The symmetry is basically a Commuter but with a one piece design, it does seem to be more durable in the weaker areas of the Commuter case like the plastic strip on the bottom and front of the case. The Symmetry is an excellent case and I am very happy with it so far. The Symmetry is a great compromise between protection and size. It will protect from most drops and scratches and it does not make the phone feel too big.

In general, these cases are pretty expensive. But compared to the cheap one this one feels great in your hand and makes you really enjoy the cell phone experience. It has a harder outside shell and a softer inside so that helps protect the phone from falls. I specially recommend this with a glass screen protector. The buttons are easy to press. It does a good job of covering the entire phone including a slight lip to help protect the screen. The cutouts are the perfect size and all my earphones fit easily. Worth the price.

After many hours of searching onine for a sleek case I was ultimately brought back to this case. The case is hard enough that I know the phone will survive a drop and sleek enough to still fit in my pocket. The rubber surround makes it easy to grip, and it has just enough grip that the phone won't slide out of my hand. It, by no means makes the phone thin, but it's a happy medium between no case and the defender series.

It's somewhat lightweight and a bit bulky, but it provides solid protection. No screen protection.

I'm very cautious with my phone so I didn't want a big bulky case and this case has been great. Thin and easy to get out of pockets. The few times it has fallen the phone is 100% protected. The lip makes sure the glass doesn't touch any surfaces, but I'd recommend having a screen protector.
