    Not a bad case

    This is a decent case. Phone fits in nice and feels fairly protected. Unlike my last case. I can easily press on points on the far edge of the screen (Alphabet sorting for contacts). What I'm not crazy about is I wish the sides and the back were grippier. You better make sure you have a good grip when picking it up from the sides when it is face down or it will slip out of your fingers. And if it's laying face up, it will definitely slide around on the surface if there's any movement. Also seems a bit pricey for what it is, but I don't regret the purchase.

      Hey there CDfromWI,

      Even though your iPhone is protected from tragic falls in our Symmetry case, we completely understand that you still don't want it slipping out of your hand and dropping very often. If the case ends up proving to be a little to sleek for your comfort level, we would suggest checking out our Defender case, which has rubber silicone that stretches over the back, giving it a bit more traction! Take a look by clicking on the link below, and ring up our expert Otters at 1-855-688-7269 with any queries!

    Got this when I got the new 7 Plus. The 7 Plus is beautiful and I wanted to enjoy the looks of the phone trough the tough Otter Box Case. This worked well for the first 2 months- then the color started to yellow. Not cool. Gets 3 stars as it is still a good case- but it has changed color to tea stain yellow.

      Hey there TomahawkSix,

      Sorry to hear that your Symmetry is turning a strange shade of "tea stain yellow!" This is odd, but occasionally our lighter shades of cases can pick up different elements depending on what they're exposed to every day. Regardless, our color-conscious Otters will be thrilled to send you a warranty replacement! Please feel free to call them up at 1-855-688-7269, and your new case will be so clear, it'll make you say, "move oolong, nothing to tea here!"

      Best,

    Buttons too hard to press!

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

    This case fits the iPhone 7 plus well and offers enough protection for me. The face has a lip that will give it protection in the event of a face down fall. It is a one piece case and is not too slippery in the hand. The clear back with black around the rim shows off my Red iPhone well and looks sharp. However, the side buttons are impossible to press! On/off & volume buttons are almost impossible to press. For that reason I had to buy another case.

      We appreciate your feedback! We are sorry that the control buttons on this Symmetry case were being difficult. This is understandably disappointing and if you happen to still have this case we absolutely want to help with this unusual predicament.

      Please feel free to give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269 and we will be more than happy to assist in any way that we can!

    Seems great for a slim fit with good grip. Assume protection could be minimal on drops, but knock on wood in not sure about that yet. After just a couple months it does seem to be yellowing a bit. Not sure I'll keep it if that continues!

Please feel welcome to call our dirt-busting Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll send out a warranty replacement!

    I purchased this case at a discounted price and I'm glad I did. The case it is not worth $40. It will easily scratch but that is to be expected but the claim that it will not turn yellow over time is false. It does the job at protecting the phone nonetheless however I would not pay full price for a case that will look not stand the extensive use of time compared to other cases.

    The beveled edge is needed to protect the phone, makes since. The beveled edge is very uncomfortable if you need to hold your device to your head for any significant time. Often times the case leaves an indention in my skin. If the edge was less beveled I would recommend this case.

      Hey my86redirocz,

      We're thrilled to hear that your wife is loving the Symmetry case! You are correct, OtterBox cases do not claim to be waterproof, and we would not recommend submerging them in any liquids. However, the cases are extremely protective, especially with the Certified Drop+ Protection rating! Should you have any further inquiries, please feel welcome to reach out to us at 1-855-688-7269, and we'll be glad to assist you!

      Warmly,

    Although the packaging says UV resistant and does not yellow. Over time, You can start to see it starts to turn a light tint of yellow and no longer as clear when bought new. However it's a great case overall. Serves its purpose. Dropped my phone a few times and no cracks yet.

    Truly a nice design for those who want a clear case to show off their new phone, only issue is it absorbs every color it comes in contact with. I've stopped using mine Because about a month of use and it looks like a rainbow got a nuke dropped on it.

    This clear case looks decent on my jet black iPhone 7+. It looks cloudy though. It's a nice looking case for the protection it provides. It's definitely bulkier than most cases, but doesn't add a significant amount of weight.
