    My main issue was the orange rim of this case. It becomes dyed by anything you put your phone in like your jeans pocket or sweatshirt. After two weeks my phone looks absolutely disgustingly dirty and I think that is ridiculous for such an expensive case. I have to hand my phone to clients to pay for their services at my self employed job and I don't want to hand them a dirty looking phone. The material should be made of another Material that won't let stuff bleed onto it. This case does provide good protection though!

      Hi Monica,

      Thanks for your feedback! Although we’re glad that this Symmetry case is taking care of your iPhone 7 Plus we are sorry that it is getting discolored. We always suggest cleaning our products using mild soap and water (never with abrasive or corrosive cleaners that may damage the case). If this doesn’t clear things up, please feel free to give our color-conscious Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269, and we will be happy to assist in any way that we can!

    This case made very nice and protect the phone. But protection does not mean anything because I am worry, I will drop my phone because this case is very slippery especially if my hand is dry. I have to return it.

      Hi there,

      We are sorry that the Symmetry case is a bit too slippery for your comfort level. We certainly weren’t out to cause any perilous predicaments, but rather create a streamlined design with ease-of-use for clothing pockets, etc.

      Perhaps our Defender case would be a better fit as it has a silicone slipcover on the outside of the case that may provide a better grip. Check out the link below for more information on that OtterBox case.

      Of course, if you ever have any OtterBox questions please do not hesitate to give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269. We are happy to help!

    Not What I Was Expecting

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I got this for the main reason of the clear back. I always get a custom skin for my phone and I didn't want it covered or colored over. In that aspect, the case met expectations. What didn't meet my expectations were the slippery feel of the frame and the stiffness of the power button cover. I went from a 4s to a 7plus, so I'm already having a difficult time with the relocation of the power button and it felt like I was either going to squeeze the electrons out of my phone, or it'd go flying out of my hand due to the amount of pressure needed for the power button to respond. I ended up getting a Griffin case that works much better for me.

    I have an iPhone 7 plus. The size is why I went with this one instead of the defender which I couldn't hold in one hand. Had I stayed with that my screen would not have cracked from falling the height of a car seat. Now it's cracked from side to side. Not sure what certified drop tested means. But it was either from 6 inches or there was no phone in case when tested. I thought it had some type of guarantee, but according to the little piece of paper you unravel there isn't.

      Hi eMTe,

      We are truly sorry that your iPhone’s screen cracked. We realize just how frustrating a damaged phone can be and completely understand your disappointment. Protecting your device is our highest purpose, and although we put extensive resources toward this end, we are unable to guarantee an incident-free outcome in every situation.

      Your phone is beyond the limitations of our warranty, however, we would very much like to offer you a new OtterBox case since yours may have been compromised in the incident as well. Please feel free to reach out to our friendly Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and we can set this up for you.

      Sincerely,
      OtterBox Customer Service Team otterbox

    I'm not sure if it's the material but the front edge of the case picks up colors . Washed the pair of jeans numerous times and the edge turned a blue-ish tink on the pink bumper. Extremely annoying and I cannot remove it I tried a small amount of rubbing alcohol and also a magic eraser and it worsened the fading even more. May just be the pink as a dark color wouldn't be a problem

    I loved this clear case at first. But after about two months of every day use the edges made of rubber started turning green. I tried cleaning and even washing the case with dish washing liquid and no success. I love OtterBox but this product needs help. I've since purchased the same case with black trim.

    I purchased this case knowing that it would protect my phone. However, the case got extremely dirty within a few hours of me holding it and having it in my bag. So I returned it, I should have gotten another color but I just went with a different brand for my new phone.

    If I had it to do again, I would not purchase this cover. I purchased it because it is an Otterbox product (reputation) and had a clear plastic (so I could see my red iphone back). It is horrible. Fingerprints show up on it. And it is easily scratched.

    The case looks nice and I love OtterBox, but the buttons were too difficult to use (mostly the power button) so we returned it. Other cases of this line (Symmetry) felt the same, so it wasn't just the one case.

      Hi jp92,

      We are sorry that the control buttons on the Symmetry case were being stubborn. Sometimes at first they may be a tad rigid but after a bit of use they should become easier to manipulate.

      We truly hope that this one unfortunate experience does not discourage you from considering our products in the future. If you ever have any OtterBox questions please feel free to give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269. We are happy to help!

      Hi Stacey,

      We are sorry for the misunderstanding with your Symmetry case purchase. Although this case is more than up for the challenge of taking care of your iPhone 7 Plus, perhaps you would be more interested in our Defender or Commuter case as they are a bit more hefty. Check out the links below for more information on those OtterBox cases.
