      Dear Hope,

      It's great to hear that the Symmetry series is providing you superior protection and excellent peace of mind! At least, that's what we hope, as the one-star rating you gave is actually the lowest score out of five.

      If there is anything peculiar going on with the case, please feel free to call our friendly Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll gladly do what they can to help out!

    I bought the Otterbox Symmetry Series case less than 6 months ago for my iPhone 8 plus. My phone got knocked off from my bedside table in the middle of the night (with the case completely in tact) and I woke up the next morning with a crack in my screen. While the case looks pretty, I am very disappointed in this product!

      Hey KelBel,

      We're truly sorry to hear that your iPhone screen received a mysterious crack while under the vigilant watch of the Symmetry series! While we put our cases through a number of intense tests to ensure maximum device protection, unfortunately we are unable to plan for all circumstances, and we cannot guarantee that absolutely all exposure to risk is eliminated through the use of our products. Although our warranty does not extend to the Apple device, we would still love to offer you a new OtterBox to ease the sting, even if just a little. Please feel welcome to ring up our friendly Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll take care of this with ease.

      Hi Limajo,

      We're sorry to hear that the side button on your Symmetry series was acting a little stubborn, and that you felt your best move would be to return it! Occasionally, the rubber on a brand-new case can be a little stiff at first, but after some time and use, it does tend to relax and move more comfortably. Regardless, we sincerely hope that this experience does not turn you away from OtterBox for good, and if you have any additional questions or comments, please feel welcome to call our friendly Otters at 1-855-688-7269. They'll always do what they can to help out!

      Hey there iPhonedude,

      Yikes! We're sorry to see that this Symmetry series came down with the yellow plague after only a week on the job! We definitely understand why this would be disheartening, and if you still have the case around, our awesome Otters will be happy to hook you up with a warranty replacement. Just give them a call at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll be thrilled to further assist you with this!

      Hey there Pryer,

      We're genuinely sorry to hear that your daughter's screen retained such extensive damage while under the vigilant protection of the Symmetry series. Although we put our cases through an extensive amount of testing to ensure that they provide the best device protection possible, unfortunately, every drop is subject to a number of different circumstances, some of which are simply beyond our scope of control. In the end, we are unable to guarantee that absolutely all exposure to risk is eliminated through the use of our products.

      While our warranty does not extend to the Apple device itself, we would still love to send your daughter a brand-new OtterBox so that she can get a fresh start once that screen is repaired. If this sounds like an option that you might be interested in, please feel welcome to call our friendly representatives at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll gladly set up a warranty claim for you.

    I bought this when I got my new iPhone 8+ ... in Dec 2017. I was told the buttons (for volume, close screen) would soften up over time -- they never did. I just got tired of it and purchased a different brand at my Verizon store .. what a difference it makes!

      Hi kittycat,

They'll be more than happy to troubleshoot the issue or even send out a warranty replacement, if that's what it takes to smooth things over!

If you do actually have any concerns with the case, please don't hesitate to call our awesome Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll be happy to chat!

      Hi there StaciaHouston,

      We are genuinely sorry to hear that your daughter's iPhone screen retained some severe damage while under the vigilant protection of the Symmetry series. Truly every effort is put forth in our testing and engineering processes to ensure that the Symmetry meets our high standards of protection, but unfortunately, are cases our still not infallible, and we cannot guarantee that absolutely all exposure to risk is eliminated by using them.

      Although our warranty is not transferable to the Apple device itself, we would still love to send your daughter a brand-new OtterBox in the event that her current one was also compromised during the incident. If this sounds like something that she might be interested in, please feel welcome to call our friendly representatives at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll be glad to set this up for her!

      Hi MommaO,

      We're are sincerely sorry your phone took a seemingly mild fall and emerged damaged. We take every measure - from design and materials to manufacturing and post-production testing - to avoid such disheartening outcomes. Unfortunately, every drop is subject to a multitude of elements, many out of our control, so we cannot guarantee all exposure to risk is eliminated with the use of our cases.

      Although we cannot extend our warranty to your iPhone, we would love to replace your Symmetry case in the event it is damaged in any way. Please feel free to give us a call at 1-855-688-7269 and we'll set that up for you.

      Hi Snake,

      We're so sorry this Symmetry Series case is missing your vote of confidence - protection-wise. It may not look like much, but we put forth every effort - from design and materials to manufacturing and post-production testing - to ensure this case will provide some of the best protection available to safeguard your investment, and we trust it will prove itself time and time again. That said, we understand this case isn't for everyone.

      If you're looking for more rugged protection, check out our Defender Series case below. In the meantime, if you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to give us a call at 1-855-688-7269 and we'd love to help!
