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.

    This case says it’s scratch resistant but it isn’t, within 2 days it’s covered in scratches and it’s not abused or dropped, for the price I would expect more

      Hey Josh,

      While we're sorry to hear that this Symmetry series is looking a little worse for wear, we're glad that it protected your iPhone X against all sorts of tough encounters! Our products are not necessarily designed to be indestructible so much as they are intended to absorb the brunt of any impacts that might otherwise jeopardize your device. As long as your phone is doing okay, we're still going to call this a win and cut straight to the part where we set you up with a warranty replacement. Just give our awesome representatives a call at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll hook you up with a brand-new case in no time!

    I wanted a case that would show my phone off and I had the Lifeproof NEXT last year. Decided to go with this one but returned it after the Lifeproof NEXT came out for iPhone XS Max.

    Aloha Sparkly Protection!

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

    I got the sparkly aloha ombré version (goes from clear at the top down to a sheer aqua/ turquoise color) and in person, you can definitely see the glittery sparkles. It is a very protective case, and as such, does add a bit of bulk and weight to my iPhone X. It’s worth it to me for the protection it offers. Yes, the case shows scratches, no it doesn’t bother me because that’s one less scratch on my actual iPhone. The clear colored sides of the case became discolored after awhile (dark grungy yellow) but I wrote in to Otterbox and when I paid approx $6 for shipping, they sent out an exact replacement case super quickly. Great customer service. Note: my husband swears I purposefully “throw” and drop the phone on the daily— I’m just a klutz! After many many many hard drops, the case only developed hairline cracks on the very corner, but still seemed to work just fine. Luckily, with my replacement case, it’s a moot point. When I grew bored with the case, I opted for another otterbox Symmetry case in a different design. That’s how much I love it.

      Hi charlie613,

      While we're glad to hear that your iPhone was sitting pretty in this Symmetry series, we apologize that the case wasn't exactly what you were looking for! If your heart is set on something a bit more rugged, we might suggest taking a peek at the Defender, which involves multiple layers of protection. Don't hesitate to check it out via the link below, and give our helpful Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269 with any questions!

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

    I really loved this case as soon as I received it. It fits the phone perfectly and gives it great protection. However, I am very unsatisfied with the case because it scratches so easily. Within the first few days the back was already really scratched and I only had it in my pocket. Also, it has turned yellow and it makes the case look bad.

    Very protective

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

    With this case my phone fell out of my pocket and down at least 6 concrete stairs in the subway. My heart fell with it, but when I picked it up the phone didn’t have a scratch. The case has some now but that’s the point. It is a bit bulky and not as “clear” as you might want, but from a protection standpoint it is excellent

    Best Clear Iphone X Case Out!

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

    I usually do not consider OutterBox due to the bulk in size it adds to the Iphone. This was a pleasant surprise as it is very thin and the clearness of it really compliments the Iphone design. Highly Recommend.

    The case is nice, don't get me wrong. A little bit on the bulky side. Purchased this on iPhone X launch day. After a week or so, the sides or outer rim started to turn yellow. Emailed Otterbox regarding my concerns but never heard back till this day. I would look elsewhere. Picture attached for your reference.

Please feel free to ring them up at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll fix up this cosmetic issue by sending you a clean new Symmetry series case!

    The case has done a great job protecting my phone but it turned a gross brown color on the sides shortly after use. I take very good care of my case so my guess would be the materials used to make it.

    The Joke's on O.B.

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

    This is not my first time at this Rodeo! When I bought another SamSung phone, the only option for a cover unit was an O.B. Defender. Six moths later, the cover cracked, I called the OB warranty line and spoke with a Gracious Young Missy. The warranty on the product is "Free of Charge," ** however ** there will be a service & shipping charge... LoL I then went straight to a PC Mobile Repairs Shop off the main drag, Rt. 28 towards Church in Sterling. Mo took care of it immediately, he is always busy yet he made time. As I said to Missy Corp., this is the last time I purchase O.B.... The Top Quality Protection Goes Only to The Executives. And to think, my inconvenience with the Corporate Giant, yet Quality and Respect from the little Mobile Phone Professional that loves his customers!@@! Tully from 703-Plumber
