Great phone case.
Great phone case. This is the second one of these cases that I have had. It is sturdy and protects the phone well. I have dropped my phone several times, including in water with no problems.

Falls apart within a year.
I have bought this phone case twice before, both times it has broken down at the rubber siding within a year. The rubber doesn’t stay attached to the plastic backing, and becomes loose. This has lead to my screen protector cracking because it doesn’t protect the edges of my phone anymore. I would not recommend this product.

Doesn’t live up to OtterBox standard
I’ve been using OtterBox since my first iPhone back in 2010. In that time I’ve worked a number of jobs that have put these cases to the test and I’ve always been impressed by how well they’ve protected my phone. Despite countless drops and various other impacts over the years, I’ve never wound up with even a crack on any of my phones, until now. I dropped my phone from ...

Hey there Asher. We're sad to hear your iPhone suffered from such damage under the watch of one of our Symmetry Series cases. With that said, while we design our cases to minimize the risk of damage, there are variables that can influence the outcome of any drop or fall that we're unable to prevent. While we cannot extend our warranty to your device, as we are not the manufacturer, we would love to send you a brand-new case so you can get a fresh start once your phone is repaired. Just give us a ring at 1-855-688-7269 and we would be happy to help. Kindly, OtterBox Customer Support

Best all around lightweight protection.
The Symmetry series for iPhone 12 is perfect protection. I have dropped my phone a few times getting out of my truck and No Damage. I always end up with a Symmetry case, it just works. I highly recommend by personal experience.

Find a different otterbox case
Dropped my phone on its back and the entire back shattered with the case on the phone still! I’ve usually been pleased with my previous otterbox purchases but this case did not do its job and it did start to peel and warp pretty early on

A Protective Case that is Well Made
Symmetry cases are indeed sturdy and offer very good protection. Case fits snugly and does not interfere with buttons, port or speakers. Good stuff.

Cracked screen after 2 weeks of use.
I purchased a new phone two weeks ago and placed a screen protector and this case on it immediately. The phone has not been dropped to any sufficient degree and there are no impact marks on the screen, yet my 2 week old phone screen is cracked. My last phone was 6 years old and never had a crack. Why bother if it won't protect?

Response from Staples :
Your discouragement is of course understandable, and we are truly sorry to learn of the damage your two-week-old iPhone's display somehow sustained while covered by the Symmetry Series case. We genuinely put forth every effort—from design and materials to manufacturing and post-production testing—to ensure our cases will provide the best protection available to help limit the potential for such discouraging outcomes; but unfortunately, any given incident is still subject to a variety of unique dynamics that are at times beyond our control and prevent us from being able to eliminate all exposure to risk. Our warranty won't be able to help with any device repairs, though we would very much like to get you set up with a new case, and potentially a new screen protector if the one you were using was also an OtterBox product, for use once that has been taken care of. Please feel welcome to give us a call at 1-855-688-7269, and we'll be glad to assist you further. Warmly, OtterBox Customer Support

I have been using OtterBox products for as long as our family has had iPhones, but this particular model failed in a way I’ve never experienced before.
I’ve never had any major impacts or drops since my new device arrived in July. I took my phone out at a social event only to have a friend point out the back camera square of glass shattered. Startled, I removed the cas...

It's covered by insurance, but I still owe a hefty deductable. And I will also need to buy a new case on top of it! Now I'm in the hole hundreds of dollars, I've used otterbox for years and not...

Very sorry to hear of the altercation between that hardwood floor and your iPhone/case combo. Although distance can certainly play a role in an outcome such as this, any given incident is also subject to a variety of other unique dynamics that be a factor as well. We regret that our warranty won't be able to help offset any costs associated with your deductible, though we would very much like to get you set up with a new OtterBox for a fresh start on that side of things.
