A TOP NOTCH IPHONE PROTECTIVE CASE

This is the best iPhone cover I have owned in a long time. What makes it stand out on top?
1) All of the phone's buttons can be easily activated with a gentle touch. What a welcome improvement my older cases. Other cases can be stiff and require more effort to activate the volume buttons and the power button.
2) A raised edge around the camera lenses offer increase camera protection. The raised edge does not interfere with induction charging on a charging pad, or with any other function.
3) The case adds very little bulk to the phone. The case offers a nice feel in the hands. It offers the right amount of tactile feel and grip in the hands.
4) It has remained clear. After about three months of rough use, I see no sign of yellowing. Other cases have started to yellow soon after ownership.
This is a very, very highly recommended case. I plan on staying with this OTTER BOX model going forward. It lives up to all hopes and expectations. It's simple and it looks good.

I have always preferred Otter box brand for my phone protectors and this one wasn’t bad for a clear case. It did fade and break apart on the long run but it was worth the money. The rubber part of the product does fade yellow and the glue eventually wears off and breaks apart from the hard case. Overall good product.

Feels like a solid case and very sturdy. Recommend only if you have a colored iPhone cause the black doesn’t mesh very well

Very grippy, snugged for on the phone too! I prefer a slimmer case so this is just perfect. I would recommend that they come out with more colors

Brand New and It’s Already Yellow

Bought it online and it came already in a greenish yellow tint?? Wouldn’t mind it if it wasn’t so noticeable, but it’s kind of ridiculous for the price.
You can find cases that look better for half of the cost. Only redeeming quality is how sturdy it seems. Super disappointed..

Worst phone case I have ever had. Dropped my phone not even from a high distance and it landed on its back and the whole back is now shattered!! I’m in complete shock the lack of protection this case has. I will now go back to a life proof case since they are 100% reliable!

We're sorry to hear about your damaged device. Our Symmetry Series cases are protective, but some variables sadly can't be predicted. We would be happy to send a new OtterBox case under our product warranty, but we are unable to extend our warranty to the device itself, as we are not the manufacturer. Give us a ring at 1-855-688-7269 with any questions or if you'd like a new case. Kindly, OtterBox Customer Support

I don’t think I need to say anymore because in this case a picture is worth a 1000 words, or in those case 1000 pieces of glass. So glad I had apple care on my phone.

We weren't actually able to see the pic, but we definitely get the point and are very sorry to learn that your iPhone suffered such damage while under the watch of the Symmetry Series Clear case. Although we put forth every effort to provide the best protection available to limit the potential for such frustration, unfortunately, any given incident is still subject to a variety of unique dynamics that prevent us from being able to eliminate all exposure to risk.
Our warranty can't help to offset those Apple Care costs, but we'd be more than happy to help get you set up with a new OtterBox for a fresh start on that side of things. Just give us a call at 1-855-688-7269 and we'll go from there.
Kindly, OtterBox Customer Service Team

Started yellowing out after 2 months of purchase. Dropped my phone multiple times and no cracks whatsoever on my phone. Not too bulky. Fits perfect on the 12 pro max because it accommodates more on the notches. But not for my 13 pro max. But since it’s a clear case, you can barely spot the difference.

Protects fine but ages horribly
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
The case protects the phone perfectly fine, but the rubber padding started yellowing only a couple of months in. 9 months later the yellow part looks like a disgusting shade of mold green and no amount of cleaning will change that. For a clear case, appearance is a main selling point and this fails miserably. The rubber section at the bottom where the port is has become loose over time and now snags my pocket every time I pull my phone out. It was a great case at first but didn't hold up over time.
