What’s there to say. It’s a case, and it’s a good one. It has a nice clean design and it feels premium. It fits my iPhone SE perfectly and I’m sure it’ll save my phone from many drops. My only problem with the case is that it doesn’t seem to be level, so when I rest my phone on a flat surface, it rocks a little, kind of like a table or chair with uneven legs. I think it’s because of the cutout for the camera. Overall, though, it’s a solid case.

Excellent and sturdy case. Best case I have ever purchased for any of my iPhones. The protection it delivers when I drop my phone has been above and beyond what any other case could do. It is solid on the sides and can take a beating and still hold up. Also, Michael

This is probably my 3rd OtterBox case and all of them have saved my phone at one time or another. This one did as well a week after getting it. My phone fell out of my pocket and landed right on the corner of the phone. If I did not have the case on my phone, it surely would have broke! Thanks OtterBox another great product.

I drop my phone all the time. And I needed something it’s going to be adorable and stand the test of time and protect my phone with the help of the staff at Best Buy. I got this and I’m very satisfied.

Very strong and secure but I’m wondering whats the long term use will do to my phone. Since it’s so tight on the phone, my phone is starting to heat up more because of lack ventilation.

It’s great as far a protecting the phone, however, I bought it and it was perfectly clear, and as time has went on the edges have turned a brownish color. I tried to clean it thinking that was the issue but nothing I’ve tried works. The brown is all the way around the phone case. So weird!

Since finding the Otterbox symmetry style case years ago, it's been all I've used for whatever iPhone I happen to have. While the plain black isn't as cool as a graffiti pattern I stumbled across (also years ago), the protection is amazing. These cases hold up extremely well as time goes on, and show almost no wear from daily use. While the backside isn't extremely grippy, I have not had any problems losing my grip or dropping my phone. Unlike some other brands and other styles of cases, this is also easy to keep clean, and isn't a crazy fingerprint magnet. Sometimes I get "bored" and go out and buy a new case, and I (seriously) always end up removing it and putting the symmetry back on. While it can be debated as to whether or not its the best LOOKING case, once you use it and get used to it, it's hard to debate that in terms of functionality, durability, and aesthetics that it is pretty darn incredible.

I was looking for a new iPhone case that gave me the same overall protection, but was smaller and more streamlined. I wanted a case that I can easily slide in and out of my front pocket. This phone case fit the bill and is perfect! Keep in mind there is no built in screen protection, but it hasn't been an issue. I bought a separate glass screen protector when I bought this case, but I never installed glass screen protector. I've even dropped my phone a couple times and this case has done it's job and phone screen has had absolutely no damage! This is a great phone case!

Excellent protective case for my phone. It was very easy to install and I really like the color as it was the same color as the phone. I have owned otterbox cases before but they were big and cumbersome but, this one is very slim fitting. Almost like not having a case on it at all. I really like it.

I got this case for my son's first phone to protect it from drops. It's got a nice amount of coverage. It's easy to put on and provides coverage at a reasonable price. It clearly protects the phone from drops.

Otterbox Symmetry phone case fits my new IPhone SE perfectly. Protects against drops and is more “grippy” than just the bare phone.
Does not come with a screen protector but I don’t feel the need for it.

I am very happy with this outterbox case for my phone. I have already dropped my phone a few time from waist height and my phone has survived with no damage. I really like the fact that it is not bulky at all.

It’s a good fit for my small phone that fits well in my small hand. Doesn’t make the weight of the phone any heavier. Since I use the GPS feature of my phone that is synced with my Fitbit watch for my daily walks, the contoured fit of my phone works well for me.
