Customers are saying

Customers regard the Symmetry Series Case as offering excellent protection and a great fit for the iPhone X and XS. Many appreciate its lightweight design and stylish appearance, while some find it lacks sufficient grip and is prone to scratches. The case's clarity is also a point of contention, with some praising its transparency and others noting discoloration over time.

    I bought this case as soon as I got my iPhone X, not even 2 weeks of having the case it yellowed. Overall; nice, soft, clear study case.

      Dear MarGa,

      It's great to hear that the Symmetry series at least gets your vote of confidence in the protection department, but we apologize that the exterior has turned a strange shade of yellow! While cosmetic changes won't necessarily affect the protective abilities of the unit, we definitely think that you deserve to have a case that is both secure and stylish. Please feel welcome to call our wonderful Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll be delighted to patch things up with a warranty replacement!

      Hey there egestrada42,

      Sorry to hear that the Symmetry series wasn't the case for you! True, the unit can be a little tricky to take off, as the case is specifically engineered to hug the device tightly. This establishes maximum drop protection, and ensures that if the phone falls, the case won't pop off and leave it unprotected. However, please keep in mind that our Otter experts are always available at 1-855-688-7269 for any installation assistance. Regardless, we're glad that you found an option that works better for you, and if you have any additional questions, please feel free to reach out to us. We'll always do what we can to help out!

      Sincerely,
      OtterBox Customer Service Team otterbox

      Hey there Appledumplin,

      We so apologize that this "bad boy" was just a little too sleek for your preferences! True, the Symmetry series incorporates a more pocket-friendly design. Regardless, if you're still interested in superior security, we would recommend taking a peek at our Defender series, which sports a rubber exterior that might be more up your alley. Feel free to check it out by clicking on the following link, and if you have any additional questions, our friendly Otters are just a call away at 1-855-688-7269!

      Hey there cheekybran,

      We're truly sorry to see that your iPhone display retained some detrimental damage during an intense tumble in this Symmetry series. We test our cases extensively to ensure maximum drop protection, but unfortunately, every fall is subject to a number of different angles and dynamics, some of which are beyond our control, and we are unable to guarantee that absolutely all exposure to risk is eliminated through the use of our products. Although our warranty does not extend to the Apple screen itself, we would still like to set you up with a brand-new OtterBox in the event that your current one was also jeopardized during the incident. 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 be glad to further assist you!

      Sincerely,
      OtterBox Customer Service Team otterbox

      Hi Tigerrvt,

      We're happy to hear the phone is looking nice in its new Symmetry Series Clear, but we're sorry that the material isn't feeling as good as you'd like! We built the case out of rubber and hard plastic, so that it would provide grip when holding the otherwise smooth iPhone X but keep it protected from accidental drops.

      We'd appreciate any further feedback or concerns you might have, so feel welcome to ring our cheerful Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and we'll talk it out!

      Regards,

    probably the worst purchase ever made from BB

    I needed a case for my phone, and had heard some good things from this brand. When I got home and opened the case, I was surprised how easy it was to open. There was no tab to break, or wrap to peel off, it just slid open. Well that should have been the red flag. When I got the case in better light, I noticed a small scratch. I thought that was odd since I hadn't owned the case more than 10 minutes, and it wasn't even on my phone yet. I took it into my office, and the true story revealed itself. SOMEONE MUST HAVE SWITCHED THEIR OLD CASE FOR THE NEW ONE, and I'm the idiot that was duped into purchasing this already opened case. It had scuff and scraps all over it, and while nothing was broken, it was very disappointing to know that I had driven 20 miles (nearest best buy is 30 minutes from my house), to get a used case that Best Buy sold to me for a premium price. As Donald Trump would say, 'SAD.'

      Hi Jason,

      We're so sorry to hear that your initial experience with this Symmetry series caused such frustration! You're right in thinking that the cosmetic damages won't necessarily impact the protective abilities of the unit, but we also certainly understand why you would want your case to look fresh and new upon application. Please feel welcome to call our friendly Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll be more than happy to get you set up with a brand-new warranty replacement! You'll be back on track to sleek device security in practically no time at all!

      Hey SavagePete,

      We're truly sorry to see that this Symmetry series had trouble 'wrapping' its mind around the idea of protecting your iPhone. We intentionally design our cases to hug the corresponding phone tightly in order to provide the best device protection possible, but we certainly understand that sometimes, this makes application a little tough. Had you contacted us, our expert Otters would have loved to assist with some installation tips and tricks, but we also completely understand your decision to go in a different direction. We sincerely hope that this experience does not prevent you from considering our protective options in the future, and if you have any future questions, please don't hesitate to call us at 1-855-688-7269. We'll always do what we can to help out!
