Many appreciate the case's lightweight design and ease of use, along with its good grip and sleek aesthetics. However, some customers found the buttons difficult to press and a few felt the price was a bit high. The overall quality of the case materials was frequently praised.

    There isn’t much extra to this case. It says raised sides and area for the cameras. But it’s almost flush with the phone. Not like pervious versions of this case with prior models.

    The Otterbox Symmetry fits the iPhone 12 snuggly and I'm sure that it would protect the phone, BUT the buttons on the case are terrible. There is no flexibility to them at all. Pressing on them requires a crushing squeeze to even barely control the phone. I have requested the return of this product. I have been very happy with this same product for other phones that I've owned, but this iPhone 12 Otter is awful.

    Most Otterbox cases are great but this one has some uncomfortable area at the base of the phone and causes pain on the finger when holding.

    The Otterbox Symmetry used to be my go to case for whatever phone I had. Sadly, after trying this generation I won’t be getting another unless they change it. They used to have a softer rubberized interior that would go easy on the back of the phone while also distributing any impact. Now they are hard plastic interior and way less grippy on the sides. I returned this and went with a different option.

    I purchased an iphone 12 from BB and needed a case. I have had Otter Box cases for other iphones that I owned and liked them. The previous cases had sort of a rubberized finish. However, this case has sort of a slick finish and I felt like I would drop the phone. I returned and exchanged it for a Speck Presidio2 Grip Case, which I really like.

      We're sorry to hear that your Symmetry Series case didn't live up to your expectations! We appreciate your feedback about the feel of your case, and we'll be sure to get it passed up the ladder to our design team. It sounds like your previous OtterBox may have been our Defender Series case, as that includes a rubber outer slipcover. We hope you choose to give us another shot in the future!

      What's going with your current Symmetry Series case that it doesn't seem to have been able to withstand the pressures of protection? Hopefully it was at least keeping your iPhone safe from harm whenever the damage occurred, but however it's gone, we'll be glad to help fix things right up with a brand-new warranty replacement.

      It's not like an OtterBox to merely fall apart on the job, and we're sorry to hear you've had such an unusual and discouraging experience with your most recent Symmetry Series case. Understanding you've moved in another direction, if you're at all interested in giving it another go we'd be more than happy to help with a brand-new warranty replacement that we trust will provide the same durability you enjoyed with the one you had for your iPhone XR.

      Just give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269 if we can be of further assistance, and we'll get right on the case!

      Happy New Year!

    Stiff buttons make the case impossible to keep

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

    I've had this case for previous phones and it has been great. I just got this case today for my iPhone 12 and am not a fan 5 minutes in. The buttons are extraordinarily stiff and difficult to press, particularly the volume up button. My wife got a different color case with a pattern and she does not have this issue, so I am not sure if it is just my case or all cases of this kind and color. I have seen several reviews with the same issue so I will likely take this case back and get a different type.
