However, some customers noted that the case may yellow over time and expressed concerns about the price point. A few also mentioned compatibility issues with MagSafe accessories and some perceived the case as slightly bulky or heavy.

    Case is nice, it could have more grip on it as it gets slippery sometimes. Would be nice to have a hook or something on the back of it. Probably won't purchase again. Color is good with my grey iphone

      Great to know things are working out pretty well with the Symmetry Series Clear case, aside from the occasional struggle to keep a handle on things. We actually went with that smooth outer finish for easy retrieval from pockets, purses, and such, though we certainly aren't out to encourage any mishaps! :)

      If more grip is a must for your Apple/Otter experience, we do have some options that would better fit the bill. Feel free to give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269 and we'll always be happy to talk shop!

We’re happy to send a new OtterBox product under our product warranty, but we are unable to extend our warranty to the device itself, as we are not the manufacturer.

      We're happy to hear that your Symmetry Series case is sitting snugly against your device!
      Have you noticed any yellowing so far, or had something similar happen in the past? Our Otter engineers work hard to keep such cosmetic complications at bay, so we don't anticipate that being a problem. But if something should come up, we've got a great warranty to help keep things looking sharp!
      Just give us a ring at 1-855-688-7269 and we would be happy to help answer any questions or if you're needing to process a warranty!

    i’ve only had this case for five months and about a month in, the part around the volume buttons started protruding. it’s been like that since. it can also come apart. the bottom by the charging port is now literally falling apart. it’s coming off of the rest of the case.

      You're not wrong to expect a longer lifespan from the Symmetry Series case than a mere five months, and we're sorry that yours has fallen on such strange and hard times. Fortunately, we've got a great warranty in place that will help get things back on track with a brand-new replacement that is sure to stand the test of time. Just ping our handy Otters through the following link, and we'll have this all fixed up in no time!

    My phone stays in the case. I NEVER take it out. I took the case off to put a new screen protector on and the back of my phone was shattered. An IPhone 13 pro max only 6 months old. Do not waste your money on this case as it doesn’t protect it at all

      We are so sorry to hear of the damage your iPhone sustained to its backside while under the watch of the Symmetry Clear Series Case. Although we put forth every effort to ensure our cases will provide the very best protection available, unfortunately, there are still many unique dynamics that can influence the outcome of any particular drop/impact.

      Our warranty won't be able to help with any device repairs, but we would be more than happy to help get you a fresh start of a new OtterBox. Please give us a call at 1-855-688-7269 and we'll be glad to assist you further.

Although this is one of our most streamlined options, rest assured that we've still put it to the literal test of our Drop+ Protection program to ensure it'll be up to the challenge. In addition, we make a number of different screen protectors that can be added to the mix for extra security!

    This case is very flimsy for an Otterbox Symmetry case. I probably would have kept, but my camera stuck out SO FAR that I just didn't want to risk damage. I returned. I did love the ombre color though!

      While it's nice to know the Symmetry Clear Series case gets props for cuteness, we're sorry that you're not feeling overly confident in its ability to help keep your iPhone safe from harm. This model is one of our most streamlined, but rest assured that we've put it to the literal test of our Drop+ Protection program to ensure it'll be up to the challenge, especially when paired with one of our screen protectors!
