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.

    Does all I want as a case for my phone. My problem is that it is very hard to press the "off" button. I have to work very hard to press hard enough to activate the button to turn off the screen and, frankly, that's annoying every time I use it.

      Hi MAyBe,

      Sorry to hear that you're dealing with some bothersome buttons on this Symmetry series! While the side material on a brand-new unit can sometimes be a little stiff at first, after a brief break-in period, it should start to loosen up a bit. Trust us, if you hang in there, the epic protection is worth it! If you have any additional questions or comments, please feel free to call our friendly Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll be glad to further assist you!

    This item claims to be smidge and fingerprint proof and I can say that is NOT true ! Mine has had prints and smudges since I opened the package. Also the edges are not as smooth as other otter box products. Disappointing

    Overall good case - however one flaw, the close screen button is too small and must press really hard on small button to open/close iphone screen. Button on the same designed speck case is much larger and preferred.

      Hey there RaceRedRacerq,

      Sorry to hear that this Symmetry series is having trouble 'feeling the power' with that on/off side button! While the material on a brand-new case can be a little stiff at first, after some consistent use, it should start to relax a bit. If the tenacity persists or just becomes too frustrating, please feel welcome to call our friendly Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll gladly do what they can to help out!

    I like clear cases. I like soft shell cases. I swear they bounce!!! I felt this one was a bit slick and that I would drop it. My phone holding hand isn’t strong. For the average person, I think you would be happy.

      Dear PollyMary,

      True - the Symmetry series takes the term 'polished protection' to a whole new level! While this case is designed with a pocket-friendly style, we apologize that it was just a little too slick for your preferences. If you're looking for something slim and sleek with a bit more grip, we would recommend our Commuter series. Don't hesitate to take a glance at this case by clicking on the link below, and let us know if you have any questions by calling our friendly Otters at 1-855-688-7269!

    This otter box doesn’t even cover the screen. It’s just a cover for the back. If your phone drops on the front screen portion it’s going to be busted! An extremely overpriced hunk of junk!

    There's really nothing special about this case, it's basic and functional. But that doesn't justify the $40 price tag. This is a $2 piece of plastic. If I had another option, I would have taken it.

    The case is very pretty with the sparkly blue gradient. However, it’s much too expensive for me. I don’t drop my phone often so I don’t feel that I need to spend as much on a protective case.

      Hi R1327,

      Hey there Jjcollins4,

      We apologize that this Symmetry series isn't quite meeting expectations yet! While the side buttons on a fresh new case can be a little stiff at first, after a brief 'break-in' period, they should start to move more comfortably. Just give them a little time, and they should start to warm up to the job!

      As for the headphones issue, we actually did not include an audio port on this specific case, since both of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 8 devices do not include an audio jack. Your phone should have come packaged with a 'dongle' - an adapter which allows you to plug in your headphones using the charging port. If you have any further questions on any of this, please feel welcome to call our friendly Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll gladly dive in to help!

      Hi Qjel,

      Thank you for your candid feedback on the Symmetry case. We'd be more than happy to share your comments with our team in the design lab. The Symmetry Series may seem a bit more "rigid" because the hard plastic is designed to withstand quite a bit to keep your iPhone safe. Feel free to give us a ring at 1-855-688-7269 with any further questions or comments and we'd be glad to assist.

    Case looks nice, slim and expensive. It does not protect your phone at all, I bought it a few weeks ago for my wife's red iPhone and she dropped the phone on a flat surface (hardwood floor) and the screen cracked. I am probably going to get some thicker case. Don't waste your money on this case look for something better.

    Let me start by saying I love OtterBox cases but this one arrived looking used when I bought it brand new. All around the inside edges looks dirty and rough. The back had small scratches already. I called Best Buy and they said I could bring it back to the store but it is an hour away and I work all the time and cannot make it during their store hours. I guess I’ll just have to keep it. Disappointing.
