Customers are saying

Customers admire the Symmetry Series Case's excellent protection and secure fit, frequently praising its ease of use and lightweight design. Many appreciate the case's overall design and the clarity of the clear case option, although some find it somewhat slippery and pricey. While the protection is a major selling point, a few users noted that the case is prone to scratches. The bulkiness of the case was also a recurring concern for some customers.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

    Had the case for a few weeks. Just realized today that there is a crack in the corner of my phone. It's a nice case but doesn't give total protection.

    I do not like the case. It does not cover the front of screen and it is raised above the case, so if it falls the screen will make contact with floor

      Hey there Sweetdee707,

      We deeply apologize that you feel your touchscreen is susceptible to damage in our Symmetry case for the Galaxy S8 Plus! We assure you, our cases go through over 238 hours of testing to make sure they are ready to protect your technology. However, if you still feel hesitant, we would suggest the use of our Alpha Glass screen protector. You can apply this separately, and it acts as an extra layer of protection just in case. If this sounds like a viable option, feel free to take a look at the link below and call our friendly Otters at 1-855-688-7269 with any inquiries!

      Dear Kimm,

      We're genuinely sorry to learn that your Galaxy S8+ did not survive a fatal fall. Although we put our cases through an intense amount of testing, unfortunately, every drop involves unique variables, some of which are simply beyond our control. While our warranty does not extend to the Samsung device itself, we would very much like to offer you a new OtterBox to ease the sting, even if just a little. If this sounds like an option that you would like to pursue, please feel welcome to call our friendly Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll be glad to further assist you with this!

      Sincerely,
      OtterBox Customer Service Team otterbox

    Doesn't fit the back of the phone. It can push in. If you need to hold anything between the phone and case it will slide around.

      Dear Sissy,

      We genuinely apologize about any confusion surrounding our Symmetry case for the Galaxy S8+. Unfortunately, OtterBox does not currently carry a case that is compatible with the Galaxy S8 Active. As one of our most trusted retailers, we're confident that Best Buy should be able to straighten this out with ease, so please feel free to contact them to figure out the appropriate return process. If you have any additional OtterBox questions, don't hesitate to call our friendly Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll be more than happy to help!

      Best,
      OtterBox Customer Service Team otterbox

      Hi Sandy!

      We're so sorry to see that the Symmetry case was not the case for you! It is strange that you were unable to use the fingerprint scanner on your phone, since we engineered the case to allow for full functionality of the device! We would love to investigate, so please feel welcome to give our Otter detectives a ring at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll solve this mystery!

    Don't waste your money on this case. While I liked the fit and feel of the product it did nothing to protect my phone when it fell about 20 inches onto tile and hit on the corner. Spend a few more dollars and upgrade to the Defender or a higher level product.

      Hey there PointsReview,

      We apologize that you're feeling a bit hesitant to take your Symmetry case into the depths of everyday life! While the Symmetry has never traditionally included built-in screen protection, the unit still had to pass over 238 hours of testing to ensure superior device security for your Galaxy S8+! That being said, we certainly understand the need for a screen protector, which is why we engineered a tempered glass solution that will pair perfectly with this Symmetry series. Feel free to check out the Alpha Glass by clicking on the link below, and give our helpful Otters a ring at 1-855-688-7269 with any questions!
