Ordered this case for my iPhone 6 and has worked great for past month since I received. Fits iPhone well and seems very good at protecting my phone.

I was really looking for a Commuter to replace the one I already had, but I have decided I like the universe better. My iPhone 6 fits better in the case, it's slim to easily slide in and out of my pocket, and the potential add-ons are pretty neat. I am mostly interested in the additional battery, but I have not purchased any yet.
Overall, though, I like this case. It's been about a month or so and it is holding up very well so far. Good purchase!

Since having my first cell phone, I have never found "the right" case. It either looks good, or protects well, or has a great functional add on. Never could I find one that did it all, until the Universe Case. Having used Otterbox cases before I always liked the protection they offered, but they just didn't fit the right business look. The Universe looks sleek and professional, offers the level of protection I expect from Otterbox, and has the functionality of the add on modules. Bottom line is that this is finally the case.

Solid build and good protection. I like the slotted back for the add-ons. The only improvement I would like to see is a little more front protection with a slightly higher ridge.

It’s awesome that a case was created that allowed to get other accessories for you phone and not have to worry if it’s compatible with your current case.

Works well. If you have a pouch this will let you shove it in and while it may stick out it's better than sitting on it like some people.

Finally, a case that provides protection and functionally, and still slim enough to carry phone in your pocket. Have used both the vent mount adapter and the snap on wallet. Both do exactly what they are designed for. Will try the power adapter next. Have finally found a case that I will keep because it makes sense.

Love this case for my iPhone 6 and when I upgraded to the 7 it works but it won't allow for the camera attachment but I don't use it only the battery. I really hope they keep this line of case it is the most functional they have imo

PROS: interchangeable accessories, olloclip compatible
CONS: no screen or camera protection, lack of grip makes it easier to drop, sometimes hard to remove attachments
I already owned the Otterbox Defender, but as a person who likes to take photos with my phone I was looking to enhance them by purchasing an olloclip. Of course they are incompatible with each other, so when I read that Otterbox made a case that you could attach an olloclip and other accessories, I thought this would be great. The interchageable accessories does what I needed it to do, unfortunately you'll have to make some sacrifices in the protection of your phone.
Because it is made to work with an olloclip (you have to buy the one made for the uniVERSE case) there is no protection for the screen or the rear facing camera. DO NOT buy a ZAGG glass protector or any thick screen protector because the olloclip will not fit and pretty much chip the edges. I bought a Belkin film-type protector which they don't sell at BB and at least this gives some scratch protection.
With the reduced protection I worry more about dropping my phone. I wish it had more grip like my old Defender case, but this case has a smooth hard plastic finish which makes it a little slippery. Be careful!
Another problem I have with the case is the way you change out the accessories. It requires you to slide them out with quite a bit of force sometimes resulting in the item flying off. Also the edges of the connection point are a little sharp and if you're not careful you can cut yourself. They should have made a quick-release switch which could have made things much easier.
The two accessories I purchased were the olloclip and the Polarpro Trippler tripod. Go to their product pages to see my reviews.
In conclusion, before you buy this case, look at the accessories available and if you don't really need them, look for something else with more protection. I hope future versions of this case will take care of some of these issues. Until they do, I just can't recommend it.

I've dropped my phone multiple times and the cover stays in tack and has not even scratched. I haven't used the switch feature to add accessories but the sliding part comes out easy.

I purchased this case because I was interested in the add on functionality. Otterbox has always been reliable. Case is a little bulky.

For the first time since I've had an Apple product my phone stays charged.
Only issue is it's a little bit heavy.

Not as bulky as the normal Otterbox. The optional accessories work well and makes it convenient.

I’m quite happy with the Otterbox Universe case. For one, it’s an Otterbox, and second it’s slim. The simplicity of the case is what I was looking for.

I purchased this to use with the removable, and rechargeable, battery. It was a perfect solution! I needed my iPhone to play a video feed, for the duration of eight hour shifts, and now I can do so without fear of running out of battery power. Could not be happier with this solution. One iPhone, one case, two removable batteries (one as a primary and one as a spare). P.e.r.f.e.c.t.

Awesome Case for anyone with a glass screen. There are two cases, one surrounded by a softer liner, and there is the harder outer jacket.
