This case is the perfect compromise. Because the new iPhone is much larger than previous models, I didn't want to add a bulky case that would make the phone hard to handle. I also don't like to have a plastic screen protector included in the case design, because they always seem to take away from the clarity and picture quality.
All the buttons are easily accessible and the ports are not covered with any plastic pieces. This makes them all easy to access, as designed by the phone manufacturer.
the raised edge protects the screen and camera from being scratched while sliding on a table top, but doesn't restrict the functionality of the product and software like other cases do.
It doesn't come with a screen protector, which is why I gave it a 4 in protection, but again I prefer this for my cases.
super protection but at a cost, namely bulkiness. I originally had a much more thin case, but it didn't stop my iphone6 glass from shattering after 3 foot fall. This Symmetry case is bulletproof, but it makes the iphone6 more wide, and I had to relearn how to hold the phone to reach apps with the extra width added to the iphone6. All side buttons are still easily used, and I will keep using the Otterbox Symmetry since it has great protection, but I will always miss the aesthetics and ease of use of the thinner case.
I bought this for my son after his purchase of the new iphone 6. Yesterday I was told it has saved him twice. He loves the slim protection. It's still easy in and out of pockets. Not too bulky.
