I'm a fan of this case

I haven't had an OtterBox in a while. I always thought their suitcases were bulky and heavy. Symmetry changes that. While it's still a bit heavier than I'm used to, it's still not overly heavy. It feels good in hand without being bulky and I'm sure it will protect my phone. In my opinion, this is the only OtterBox worth owning.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Too long to wait

This Otterbox has no screen protector.

Always used Otterbox iPhone cases. I've never smashed her screen. I contribute to Otterbox's success because of the screen protectors they come with. It's not on this block. It's just a solid block, you expand the plastic to fit around the phone. The glass screen is still exposed to external elements, if dropped the screen will crack. If I had known that, I would not have bought this otter. This may not be an important topic for you, but for me it is the only reason I bought a screen protector…

Pros
  • Feels good
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

Not for runners: simple cases

I would like to rate it higher, but as a person who often removes the case to connect the phone for running, this is not the case for me. It's a bi-material design and good construction, but the back is very hard and slippery on most surfaces and the inner layer isn't soft enough to slip on and off easily. It's so difficult to remove, in fact, that I scraped the material off the power button with a blade to avoid damaging the button when removing and installing the cover. If you're the type who

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • There are nuances

Consistent quality cases

I used the black Symmetry case for my Original SE and it lasted the life of my phone (2.5 years) and protected me from 10-20 drops from waist height. The corners and sides were a bit frayed towards the end, but since it's black it didn't matter much. I've only taken the phone out of the case a few times, I don't recommend putting it in and out constantly as the case can deform over time. I got this black Symmetry case for my new 2020 SE and it fits just as well and looks just as high quality…

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • boring packaging

Really solid case but not bulky

Just bought a second one. My first rubber started to wear out after a few years. Be expected. Not sure why these people are buying the transparent version and expecting a rugged phone, it looks like it's not even covered in the same rubber as the hard ones. I smashed my phone with a car and it didn't break. I've dropped it a million times, much higher than 3ft, and my phone is still intact. Maybe luck has something to do with it. The plastic on the back is really smooth, but after a bit of use…

Pros
  • Acceptable
Cons
  • Can I add anything

I won't buy another case

I started using OtterBox Symmetry with my iPhone 4 and every phone since (even various Android phones). All were almost new. I was even able to use a case from my iPhone 7 when I upgraded to an 8. If you don't abuse your phone, it will last much longer than your phone and still protect your phone from falls. I once threw away an old phone with this case on and it wasn't damaged. (I do not recommend that you need a phone). I also buy these cases for any employees who are given a company phone…

Pros
  • Brilliantly made
Cons
  • Hard to remember but it was

I was in a car accident when I was behind a red light and was thrown into the truck in front of me by the impact. My cell phone was in my hand at the time of the accident. It flew out of my hands and hit the windshield. My car was completely destroyed in this accident and the impact was so bad that I took an ambulance to the emergency room. The car was going at full speed when I was hit. In summary, this case combined with the screen protector saved my phone from being replaced after a crash…

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure
