Customers are saying

Customers are pleased with the Symmetry Series Case's protection, fit, and ease of use, frequently citing its lightweight design and good value. Many appreciate the case's slim profile and effective grip. While some users noted that the case may yellow over time and is not completely scratch-resistant, the positive feedback on protection and overall quality outweighs these concerns.

    Otterbox case for iPhone 8

    I love otterbox cause the brand I can trust to keep my phone safe from falls. It’s tough and durable. The design is thin and sleek. The only bad thing I would say is that after awhile the clear color tends to fade and you have to purchase a new one.

    iPhone 7 fits perfectly in this case. Burgundy color is different than other Otterbox series. However, the burgundy color seems to scratch easily just from holding it in your hand, even after just the first day. Little white specs that will not come off.

    This is the second one purchased as the other one was also purchased for my other son. Seen it fall from their hands and protect the phones well. My son likes it cause it shows off the red color of his phone. Although I noticed my other sons phone case is discoloring.

    This case does the job to protect my phone, although after a while I noticed it starting to get a little yellow? I’m not sure if that was from use or it just yellowing in general. If you’re looking for a clear case, just beware of the possible yellowing that can happen!

    Great Protection But Turns Yellow Eventually

    I’ve had this case almost a year and the front rim is turning yellow. It does a great job protecting your phone. Wish I could find the same case but with the front rim black like for my first gen iPhone SE.

    Love the color and durability. The case color isn’t as vibrant as I’d like, being my only option was the black iPhone, but it’s good for now.

    It has a good quality, providing a nice grip. However, like what many prior customers complained, the sides already showed a little tint of brownish color.

    Otter box has always had the most protective cases, and this one is no exception. However, the case turns yellow/brown around the edges. I got my case under a month ago and looking at it now it is two seperate colors!

    This otterbox is slim, but the clear does not stay for long. Around the side of the phone the case turned yellow after a month or so. I tried to clean it, but it was stained. It was pretty disgusting to see that it was yellowing on the sides to be honest, just from normal use.

    I didn’t use this case for long. Turned yellow a short time after I got it. I replaced it and didn’t look back. It’s been a couple years perhaps the product has been improved.

    After about 3 months you might as well discard. It turns a dirty yellow color. Bleaching the case only melts it.
