    The phone is fast, enjoy that. The screen is large and the colors are excellent. One issue is that it is difficult to turn off an alarm on the clock.

    Remember when Otterbox phone cases were robust and rugged? Yeah, those days are over. It also didnt have correct power button placement for the Samsunga71 5g. I replaced it for a much better 11 dollar option from amazon.

      Hi there!

      We're sorry to hear about any frustration with your recent Symmetry Series purchase! Keep in mind, Samsung recently released a new Galaxy A71 5G which has a slightly different form factor than the original Galaxy A71. Thankfully, we do have a Symmetry Series case for your device on our website! Rest assured, that case design has been through extensive testing to ensure it will provide your phone with the drop protection our Symmetry Series is known for. We're bummed to hear that you ended up choosing to go a different direction with your protection needs, but we hope you give us another chance in the future.

      Hi there,

      We're sorry to hear about any frustration with your recent Commuter Series purchase! Keep in mind, Samsung recently released a new Galaxy A71 5G which has a slightly different form factor than the original Galaxy A71. 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 A71 5G on our OtterBox website.

      If you are definitely using that Galaxy A71, 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.

    I bought this case with the 5g phone in store. It was the only case offered. It turns out that there are subtle differences between the 4g and 5g models of this phone. This meant that not only is the case bulky, it made it impossible to lock the phone using the side key.

    EXCELLENT COVER

    I love my OtterBox protective cover. My new phone was quite slippery when I bought it. And I almost dropped it a few times. I had to be very careful whenever I picked it up and make sure that I had a firm grip on it. Then my OtterBox arrived and I don't have that problem anymore. My phone is now easy to grip and I don't have that slippery problem anymore. I love it. Thanks.

      Hi Shanay,

      We're so sorry things aren't quite lining up with this Symmetry Series case!

      This is definitely strange because our cases were designed with a specific adherence to specific tolerances, so misalignment issues certainly shouldn't be present. That said, we'd love to smooth things over with a warranty replacement. Please feel free to ping us on our OtterBox website, and we'll help you with a brand-new case which we trust will fit seamlessly going forward.

      Cheers,

    Like all Otter Box products wraps it perfectly and with the tempered glass screen protector it is good to go. Bonus - clear lets me see the phone. One problem I have with black phones is they are easy to lose. The rim of this protector is clear so it shows off the phone under every light condition. Bye bye black cover!!!

    This is garbage it does not fit the samsung galaxy a 71 as advertised the power button is so high it only turns the volume down the hole for the ear speaker is so far away from the piece it blocks it (so for those people that don't use headphones you can't hear your calls.) I was so upset I payed for this garbage I thew it out rather then go to the store and get a refund.

    Does not fit A71 5G

    This case does not fit the A71 5G and it would be nice to know there are differences. This case will not fit the 5G design as the key placement is not aligned for 5G model. Phone will fit snug into the case, but side buttons won't work. It was a real challenge to remove the phone. There should be a note "this case will not work with 5G model"
