Good protection without being excessively bulky. There are thinner cases available, but this one suits our needs well, balancing size and protection. It’s taken several drops already and served its purpose. Also has wireless charging and can magnetically attach to a mount in the car, great convenience!

This case is very sleek with design, but also very durable for the case! I will always be a fan and come back for another case when I upgrade to the iPhone 17 Pro!

For the price this is a good case. The buttons feel tactical, it’s not as slippery as other see-through cases, I like the cut out for the camera button, and it has eyelets in the bottom corner that you can use for a wristlet or charms.
Only difference (and I’m not upset) I bought the case in the color ‘Thimbleberry’ and it is more vivid in person.

Regression from Previous Symmetry Cases

Upgrading from the XS so the 16 Pro is a big jump. The first off-putting issue is the large cut-out for the camera control button along the lower right edge of the case. This large gap in case material makes the phone awkward to pick up and handle because my fingers aren't completely on the case and some touch the button. I wish this case had more case material around the camera control button so that picking up the case feels more natural and protects the camera control button from accidental presses. The complete notch break in the case is a poor design choice and also weakens the structural integrity of the case.
My second biggest issue is the lack of camera protection. The raised border around the camera does not sit flush with the back of the case causing the phone to never lay flat because of the camera bump. I wish this case would have made the back flush with the camera with a few extra mm of space so all of the camera lenses would not touch a flat surface with the screen up.
Comparing this case with my Symmetry XS case, the camera on my XS sits slightly recessed into the case and laying my phone on a flat surface has never been a concern. The 16 Pro Symmetry is also missing rubber material around the perimeter of the screen, which protects the screen when screen-side down.
I do not plan to keep using this case for very long once additional case options are available that have a lay-flat feature to protect the camera lenses and provide a better grip for everyday use. See photos for more info.

I've purchased this before for my iPhone 14 and it was a good case with a firm base and rubberized frame (enhanced grip). The base and the frame separated after a couple years. I purchase a replacement and received it wih the base and the frame was separated (returned). I also noticed frame on the new case was a harder composite and not a "grippy" as original.

A little pricey for what youre getting. Good looking case and worked well while it held up. The edges starting separating from the back plate after a year of use. Otterbox does have a lifetime warranty, but they charge you to have the new one shipped to you.

iPhone shattered with this case on it

My wife dropped her phone on our kitchen floor from 3 feet with the case on and the back of her iPhone completely shattered. We are really disappointed with the quality and lack of protection. We purchased Otterbox because we expected it to protect the iPhone from minor falls like this. Do not recommend
Hello, Ryan! 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 reach out to us via chat with any questions or if you would like a new case.

Sturdy and fits great and has protected
My phone from a few drops. Can get a little oily but I clean it once a week.

I have had no issues with my Otterbox. I can use the QI without taking the case off in my car and with my charging stand. It is not warped and stretched out. I do take my device out from time to time to clean. My phone has been dropped a couple of times and no damage.

Perfect Fit and design ! I choose the clear color so that the appearance of my new iPhone would be more natural. The quality of the material will keep my iPhone protected from any drop.

Purchased this on a sale. I’ve already dropped my phone several times without incident. I love the slim design so it’s not too bulky but still protects my phone. Also knowing the otterbox warranty will replace their product should something happen is an additional peace of mind. I purchased a glass screen protector since this cover only covers the sides and back of the phone and not the screen. Always satisfied with otterbox and very pleased with this particular case.

This case is overpriced imo and basically a sheet of plastic. With that being said it does fit nice and tight and has sufficient screen lip and camera protection. The buttons are free floating but are to flush. They do feel clicky. The sides feel grippy but the back texture is slippery and looks generic.
