You don~t have to choose between a protective case and a stylish one. Symmetry Series for the Apple iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro is the slim and protective case that shows off your style. All of your phone~s buttons, features and functions work flawlessly. And, Symmetry Series is easy to remove and install. Which is great because with all of the colors, patterns and clear options, you need more than just one. From cute and fun to daring and dazzling, Symmetry Series is the expressive case that's slimmer than ever, as protective as always.

Good Case
on June 27, 2021

Verified Purchase:Yes
Solid case. Recommend getting a screen protector to use in conjunction with the case, since you could still scratch your screen if you drop your phone just right. Trust me--I speak from experience. :(

Good Quality, Clean Install
on June 27, 2021
Posted by: Nolan
Verified Purchase:Yes
These work great. I don't have any furniture by the ideal outlet locations in my house, so these worked perfectly to allow me to place the satellite points in centralized locations on each floor. Since the power wire is hidden, it looks very clean. The satellites are pretty bulbous, but I can live with that now that I have exceptional wifi signal throughout our entire house.

These work well, and are easy to put on and slip off. The only downside is that they are slightly heavier than other cases, but otherwise work great

Excellent Screen Protector
on June 27, 2021

Verified Purchase:Yes
Works great! And if they do happen to crack from a drop, Zagg is easy to work with to replace. You just pay a small replacement fee and they ship it out right away. Keeps our phone screens looking new, which goes a long way when you upgrade and want to sell.

Awesome Mesh System!
on June 27, 2021
Posted by: Nolan
Verified Purchase:Yes
Just had a screened porch built, but even with a range extender we couldn't get a strong enough signal back there. After extensive research on different mesh systems, I decided on this one. It works like a champ! If you plan on using the same network name as your existing network, just remember to disable the wireless network on your router first before trying to create your new mesh system. Now that it's up and running, we get a strong wireless signal on all three floors AND the screened porch in back. Highly recommend to anyone that needs additional signal strength throughout their home! Oh, also bought the Mount Genie so I could just have the satellites hang on the wall by the outlet. Extremely happy with this purchase!

Great for Dolby Atmos--when they're on sale
on May 31, 2020
Posted by: Nolan
Verified Purchase:Yes
I first noticed these speakers when they were on sale for the "Deal of the Day" a few months back. I didn't buy them at the time because I just couldn't find enough detailed reviews on them. After several months, the sale was back ($130/pr), so I just decided to pull the trigger and bought two pairs. I figured they must be pretty decent if Magnolia carries them, and if they didn't sound great, I could return them. My biggest concern was sound quality and timbre matching to my existing system. Here are my thoughts:
Build quality: They are built surprisingly well. The housing is substantial (not flimsy) and the connectors are binding posts and not cheapo spring connectors. They are built better than after-market car speakers, for example. In addition, the speaker and the tweeter can be aimed separately so that helps with placement.
Installation: The actual installation of the speaker itself is pretty easy. The screws lock onto the ceiling nicely, and the magnetic speaker cover works well. Almost too well. I recommend making sure you're happy with the speaker directional tilt before attaching the magnetic grill, because you just can't reach up and take it off with your hands/fingers. You have to use a slim tool to pry it off because it sticks well and it's pretty flush. You don't want to use a screwdriver or anything because you could mess up your drywall. Now fishing speaker wires...not as easy. :)
Sound quality: I wouldn't go so far as to say that they "sound incredible" when playing music as some reviewers have said. I did test them with music, and they sound decent. They do sound good for Atmos sound objects, but I wouldn't use them as mains, a center, or rear surrounds. They're not THAT good. You have to remember that the speaker housing is plastic and it's using the ceiling as a "cabinet." You're not going to get a full range of sound or deep bass from ceiling speakers. You're just not.
Atmos: I bought two pairs so I'm running the MAG6Rs in 5.1.4 surround with the following:
Receiver: Marantz SR6013
L-R Mains: B&W 603s
Center: B&W HTM6
Rear: B&W 606s
Sub: SVS PB-2000
Again, as Atmos speakers they sound great. They blend pretty well with the B&Ws as long as the speaker levels are set correctly. You don't want them louder than the rear surrounds; you just want them to augment the sound to create the 360 sound bubble. The downside is that there isn't a whole lot of content encoded with Atmos, at least as far as regular blu-day discs are concerned. For example, on 3D blu-ray sets, you have to choose between the 3D version or the Atmos version due to the data capacity of the discs. If you don't have 3D movies, I guess that isn't much of a concern. None of the Marvel MCU blu-rays have Atmos encoding, despite what some websites contend. You have to get the 4K versions for that. For Netflix, you have to subscribe to the Premium service to get Atmos sound. For regular TV, forget it. My receiver does "upconvert" audio to use the 5.1.4 channels, and it's pretty neat. For example, during the "Match" between Tiger/Phil/Peyton/Tom, it was raining at the beginning. The rain droplets hitting the umbrellas actually sounded like they were coming from overhead. The downloadable Dolby Atmos demos sound really cool (especially to show off to your friends), but they were specifically recorded to highlight the Atmos capability. You'll find that in regular Atmos movies, they add to the realism (helicopters really do sound like they're hovering above you), but it's not an earth-shattering difference because they don't receive a lot of sound.
Bottom line: When these are on sale, they are a steal for what you get. I'm happy and satisfied with what I spent on them and the sound quality they produce.
Regarding Atmos in general, it's cool to have, but not cool enough to pay full price for due to the lack of content. For example, I would have felt I overpaid for Atmos even if I had bought the cheapest B&W ceiling speakers at $350/pr. If you have a budget and you're trying to decide whether to get cheaper speakers just to be able to have Atmos, I would definitely recommend spending more money on quality 5.1 speakers instead.

These sound great and because they have ear hooks, I don't have to keep messing around with them to keep them in my ear while running. Definitely recommend for using while exercising. They sound way better than my airpods.
