    Does Not Adequately Protect

    I purchased this case on August 1, 2024 and put it on my brand new iPhone 14 Pro (phone was an Apple Care replacement for a phone that had water damage). Yesterday, 08/22/2024, my cat swiped my phone off the top of my nightstand. The phone fell to the floor (nightstand is standard height), fell on the wood floor below and the entire back shattered. I’ve had better protection from cases that cost a fraction of this one. I’m not happy that I now have to pay another Apple Care deductible. I do not recommend this case.

      We’re sorry to hear about your damaged device. Our cases are very protective, but some variables can’t be predicted. 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. Please give us a call at 1-855-688-7269 with any questions or if you’d like a new case. OtterBox

      We're sorry to hear the open access to the iPhone charge port isn't quite to your liking with the Symmetry Series+ case. Our Defender Series XT case has those and will still allow for seamless interaction with Apple's MagSafe accessory ecosystem. You can take a closer look at that model right here at Best Buy, and give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269 with any questions and we'll always be happy to talk shop!

    The case is a nice color in that it’s all black but the plastic is very slick and can easily slip out your hand. I want something with a little sticky to help avoid it just sliding away.

      Although we went with the smooth outer finish of the Symmetry Series+ case to help make for an easy grab from pockets, purses, and such, we were sorry to hear it's caused some potential mishaps in your experience.

      Our Defender Series Pro case has an outer synthetic rubber slipcover that provides significantly more grip, but the trade-off will be its more rugged and robust profile versus the streamlined nature of the model you've currently got. But definitely give it a look here at Best Buy, and feel free to give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269 with any questions and we'll always be happy to chat!

      We're elated to hear your loving your lilac colored Symmetry+ Series case, but sad to hear about the discoloration that's been happening. We recommend removing your device from the case, and washing the case lightly with hand soap and warm water. If this doesn't resolve your stain sorrows, give us a quick call at 1-855-688-7269 and we would be happy to get that lovely lilac color back in your pockets with a replacement case.

    I had high hopes for this case because i had others for previous phones. The case gets loose right above the charging port where the case is thin on the screen side and becomes weak. I was hoping that this would be reinforced in follow up generations but I guess not. They were able to reinforce the area around the camera, why not around the charging ports? This will be the last on I purchase unless they figure out how to reinforce this weak point.

    Not Protective At All

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

    I’ve had the phone for less than two weeks and i has been in this case the entire time. In those two weeks i have dropped my phone twice from waist height. The first drop shattered my screen protector, which is fine because Best Buy replaces them for free. The second, however, shattered my back glass, which costs a couple hundred bucks to have repaired. This case is clearly not protective AT ALL.

      We're very sorry to learn about your unfortunate experience with the Symmetry Series+ case for your iPhone 14 Pro, Henry. While we design our cases to minimize the risk of damage, there are variables that can influence the outcome of any drop or fall that we're unable to prevent. We can't extend our warranty to the device itself, as we aren't the manufacturer. We'd be more than happy to help with a brand new case though. Please give our customer service team a call at 1-855-688-7269 with any questions or if you'd like a new case.

      Warm Regards,

    If I could give it zero stars I would. This phone Does not fir whatsoever. It doesn’t come with even 1 screen protector. For over $40 I am so dissatisfied. This was a gift, so the item of course is not returnable. I thought Bestbuy would be a store I can trust and I am very loyal to stores I trust. Not purchase from Bestbuy any morel!!

    This OtterBox apple iPhone 14 pro (clear) case is exactly what I was looking for. This case is light weight and not bulky like other cases out there. This case has also protected my phone when I have accidentally dropped it with no damage to my phone. I would definitely recommend this case.
