I put an Otter Box case on my new iPhone 6 as soon as possible. It's a great case that doesn't add very much weight to the super light phone. The case gives the iPhone a secure grip without adding a lot of bulk. And yet, I have accidentally dropped my phone and no damage occurred. The design of the Otter Box allows for complete access to all of the ports, doesn't interfere with the camera and the side buttons, although covered by the case, are completely functional. This is an excellent case that will protect your iPhone, at a reasonable price. I highly recommend this Otter Box case!
I've already recommended it and all four of them have already purchased. The only thing I don't like about the Symmetry (and the other four had the same issue) is that you can't see the Apple logo from the back like you can on the Commuter or Defender. It's an aesthetic issue, but it's an issue.
The case is solid. I left my phone in my lap a few days ago and stood up from my car seat and it slid across the asphalt parking lot 15 feet from the car and I picked it up without a scratch! It does its job!
I like it better than the Commuter, and I LOVED that one. What's better is the covers on the charger port always got in the way, and the two part case had too many places for the hard shell to break.
This one protects very well, and I doubt those port covers protected much anyhow.
I do not feel as though the flimsy case offers protection for my phone. It is an absolute pain to get my phone into the case and it peeled up my screen protector that now has a number of bubbles near the corners of the screen protector. I do not like the case and I am in the process of finding an alternative company to support even though I have had an OtterBox for the better part of a decade.
I didn't want to get an Otterbox because I was worried about it being too bulky. After seeing a post on a review website about the Symmetry, I decided to give it a try. It's amazing. I drop my phone all the time. I have three kids who attempt to do their fair share of damage to it also, and my phone has never been cracked or damaged in any way. It's not bulky at all, and the hard back case makes it easy to slide in and out of my pocket. Couldn't give a higher review for this product.
Love the look of the cover and the shell, but the rubber around the phone is not holding up and has only been about 2-3 weeks in an office environment.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

On recommendation from my corporate-traveling son and many friends, l purchased one of your symmetry cases. At 71 years old and being somewhat new to the iPhone 6 world, I am very happy with this case! It was easy to attach to the iPhone and use the buttons. I love the turquoise color and design and so easy to handle without slipping out of your hands. Now I am recommending Otter box to all who will listen! Thank you for such a great product!
