A Short Term Case

I'm giving a 3 stars rating after using the case for six months. The clear case is great for thinness and protection. Only issue I have is how the clear synthetic rubber has became green - yellowish. Best Buy sales rep said it's a common problem with the clear case. Can't clean it.

Hey MacMan,
Your problem is crystal clear, just like the quality we expect from our Clear Symmetry series! We're so sorry that your case is turning a strange shade of yellowish-green. Sometimes our lighter cases can pick up different colors depending on what they are exposed to every day, and we might recommend switching to a style with darker hues. Regardless, please feel free to give our color-conscious Otters a ring at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll be glad to assist you with a warranty claim!
Warmly, OtterBox Customer Service Team

Shows off the phone and is not bulky. More sturdy than a flimsy rubber case.

Careful clipping on when using a freshly installed screen. It tends to peel it up on the corners. Only back side included as it pops off the front glass cover usually included due to the infinite screen of th Galaxy S8+. Scratches easily yet it's still durable.

I originally purchased the otter box defender case for this phone. I found it to be too heavy and bulky. Almost like carrying a brick around (I use my pocket). I returned it and purchased this case and I can honestly say this case is much more comfortable. It's lighter and fits easily in my pocket. Not hard to put on or take off, but still fits nice and snug on the phone. Even though it is lighter and thinner than the defender case, it still has a strong feel to it. It doesn't interfere with and phone features, such as the edge apps. I had a Symmetry case on my S7 and it held up nicely. After a year the phone still looked like it just came out of the box.

Good quality but minimal coverage and protection, only protects the back side and corners, but it's light and not bulky by any means so perfect for every day use, wouldn't recommend for outdoors, screen protector required

Sturdy phone case without the bulk. Seems to protect well and not bulky like other otter box cases. Happy with this purchase. I like the clear case too as the color of my phone is not hidden by the case.

I absolutely love this case. I wanted a case that would protect my new phone, but also allow the color to be seen. I appreciate that it's not bulky or slippery feeling.

I "think" it's good

It's an Otterbox right? so it should be a good case. I've dropped my phone about 6 or 7 times but not onto any really hard surface or from a great height so it's hard to say if the case is what kept the phone safe or whatever. It's very thin and doesn't cover the screen, which is ok. I actually love how lightweight it is and how it's clear so that I can actually see the color of my phone. I'm just not super sure how much it actually protects the phone.
The plastic/rubber closest to the screen is a little softer so it's kind of like a bumper but it isn't very thick.
I guess we'll see how well it does, I'm sure to drop my phone again soon.

I only buy OtterBox. I love the Defender series for protection and cost. However, my wife wanted a phone case which was less bulky. I trust OtterBox so I went with the OtterBox Symmetry. She loves the case. I'm happy her S8+ is well-protected by OtterBox.

When it comes to a good case to protect my phone, I use OtterBox. Although the Symmetry case does not provide the type of protection that the Commuter and Defender series does, it's still a good case. The fit is perfect, it's lightweight, easy to grip.

We were concerned that we could not charge the phone with case on, however we have had no issues due to the slimmer design of this otterbox case. phone is protected and can charge without removing the case. works great!

I had a Otterbox Defender case and it was too bulky. I bought this case for the skinny design and more comfortable feel for the hand.I would recommend to anybody looking for a thinner case and tough protection.

I love the case. It is very easy on the eyes and a not too bulky, sleek design. I was was worried at first about the level of protection it would give, but so far, fingers crossed, I have been happily proven wrong.

I really like this case since it feels like it provides good protection without being bulky. It easily slips into your pocket and looks nice, but gives Otter box protection.

Did my homework and glad I got the 55" Samsung 8500 series with the curved screen tv. No matter where you sit you can see it perfectly. It hooked easily into my 5.1 dolby sound system with just an optic cable which went from my receiver to the Samsung black box which comes with the TV along with the 4K blueray player which connects into the black box with another optic cable. Very easy set up. Geek Squad took down old tv, took it away and installed a better wall mount which tilted tv for better viewing.
