    I'm not sure if I ordered wrong, or if they've changed things, but this Otterbox offers no screen protection which makes me ask; what's the point? Why buy protection that doesn't protect? I am disappointed in this product.

      We’re so sorry to hear of the damage your Galaxy A51 sustained while under the watch of the Symmetry Series Case. Protection is always our top priority, and we put forth every effort — from design and materials to manufacturing and post-production testing — to ensure that our products will offer the very best protection available to limit the potential for such discouraging outcomes. Unfortunately, any given incident is still subject to a variety of unique dynamics which are at times beyond our control and prevent us from being able to guarantee that all exposure to risk will be eliminated.

      Although our warranty won't be able to help with any repair costs, we would very much like to help get you set up with a new OtterBox for a fresh start. Just give us a call at 1-855-688-7269, and we'll be glad to assist you further.

      Warmly,
      OtterBox Customer Service Team OtterBox

    The salesmen kept trying to get me to switch carriers and talk me out of buying an i phone which is what I wanted. Already, after just two weeks the on line support has given me the number of the local repair shop because the phone is not working right.

    Terrible!!! The buttons on the side of the case doesn't line up with the buttons on the phone. The A-51 case is the same. I returned them both. Do not buy this item until Otterbox fixes their design.

      Hi, Rick!

      We're sorry to hear about your frustration with your Symmetry Series case! Keep in mind, Samsung released a Galaxy A51 and a Galaxy A51 5G. Both those devices have slightly different form factors, so their cases will not be cross compatible. We see that you're leaving a review for the standard Galaxy A51. The good news is, we have a case for the A51 5G as well, so feel free to check Best Buy and our website! If you are using that non-5G model, however, please don't hesitate to reach out to our Customer Service Team here: https://www.otterbox.com/en-us/contact-us

    You have to make sure that you have the correct model A51 phone for this case to fit. From what I know there is a 4G and 5G version of the phone. My mom's A51 is too small for the Otterbox case. Going to return and just get a cheaper case.

      Hi Rowin,

      We're sorry to hear about any frustration with your recent Commuter Series purchase! Keep in mind, Samsung recently released a new Galaxy A51 5G which has a slightly different form factor than the original Galaxy A51. We often see issues like this when the wrong version of that case is installed on the device. Thankfully, we do have a Symmetry Series case for the Galaxy A51 5G, which you can find on our OtterBox website.

      If you have any further questions or concerns, 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.

    Did not like this case at all. Definitely didn't make me feel like my phone would be safe. I actually returned it the next day and strayed away from the expensive non protective case.
