    OtterBox - Symmetry Series review

    I like the OtterBox Symmetry Series Clear Soft Shell for Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max Ombre Spray. I have always used the otterbox phone cases to protect my phone. This one does not disappoint.

    Overall I like the case. However, I'm not sure how they can say it is MagSafe compatible. I have other iPhone 12 Pro Max cases that are also MagSafe compatible, and have no issues using my accessories (battery pack, wallet, etc). None of my accessories are able to stay attached to this case. I upgraded to the 13 Pro Max and the issue repeated itself. I would not recommend this case if you intend on using it.

      Hi there!

      Hi there! We're sorry to hear about any confusion with your recent purchase! While this case is capable of wireless charging on MagSafe chargers, it is not designed for optimal performance with all MagSafe accessories. If that's something you're wanting, we'd suggest checking out our line of made-for-MagSafe cases. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to our helpful Customer Service Team at 1-855-688-7269, and we can get you taken care of.

    Had it for 3 months and it has already turned yellow. So much for being clear and staying clear. Has held up through a few drops but can’t get over how ugly it looks since it’s yellowing.

    Unbelievable that Best Buy is still selling Otterbox iPhone cases without mag safe capability near the end of 2023. Considering mag safe for iPhones came out in 2020 they must have 4 year inventory still in stock and are selling. My fault for assuming their product line up is current and not checking before buying. Smh

      Our apologies for any confusion prior to the purchase, but while the Symmetry Series Clear case will allow a charge to pass from a MagSafe-enabled charger through to the device held within, it doesn't have any magnetic properties to help facilitate a "locking" connection to any MagSafe item. We do make several case models that were made specifically to accommodate Apple's accessory ecosystem, such as this one that you can check out right here on Best Buy's website:

    Mag safe works 50% of the time. The clear case discolors quickly.

    • Brand response from OtterBox Customer Support

      Hey there! We apologize for any confusion, but you're correct in saying the Symmetry Series isn't one of our made for MagSafe cases. While this case will work with a MagSafe charging pad, it won't have the "locking" component needed for other MagSafe chargers and accessories. If this feature is important to you, we recommend checking out our Symmetry Series+ case that includes an additional magnet imbedded within to ensure that connection runs through the case to your device.

      As far the discoloring you mention goes, there are actually a few factors that can potentially cause something like this, but our Otter engineers work hard to keep such cosmetic complications at bay. If you're experiencing something like this, we've got a great warranty to help keep things looking sharp! Give our awesome Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269 with any questions or to inquire about our product warranty.

      Cheers,
