Pros and cons

According to our phone case expert

This case offers more protection than the average phone case and prevents, for example, fall damage.
The thick, high edge prevents damage to your buttons and screen.
This relatively light case doesn't make your device much heavier.
This case offers fall protection up to a height of 2m.

Description

The OtterBox Symmetry Apple iPhone 12 / 12 Pro Back Cover Black is a sturdy yet sleek case. The fall protection prevents damage in the case of a fall from up to 2 meters. Yet the OtterBox Symmetry still isn't as thick as other cases with fall protection. In fact, it's a relatively thin and light case that easily fits in your bag or pocket. The extra sturdy edges protect your touchscreen, because the edges come up slightly higher than the screen. This prevents scratches when you place your phone on the table with the screen facing down or when you drop it. The edges run along all sides and also prevent scratches on your buttons. The case does have a cutout for your charging port.

Otterbox Symmetry: protects well against bumps

My device remains intact, even after a fall.
The raised edges also protect my screen.
The case has a nice, cool design.
The back feels smooth.

The tough, sturdy edges protect my phone well against bumps and drops. This keeps my device intact, even if I put my iPhone loose in my bag.

Thick, firm edges Because I always throw my device loose in my bag and it sometimes bumps into something, it is useful to have a sturdy case. That's why I chose the Otterbox Symmetry. The polycarbonate back and rubber edges combine to form a sturdy case. My smartphone is a bit thicker due to the sturdy edges, but I don't find it disturbing. In addition, the thick edges also protect my screen. In addition, my cameras are protected on the back by the raised edges around the camera island. With this case I can safely take my expensive iPhone out the door.

Tough material The material feels nice and feels good in the hand. Thanks to the rubber edges you have extra grip. The back, on the other hand, does feel smooth, which makes it glide faster over my desk. It is a fairly 'basic' case in appearance. This is what I like about this back cover: it is not too noticeable. The back still looks completely intact, even though I often put my case in my bag with my sharp keys. So I expect this case to stay as new for a long time.

Tight on your device The Otterbox Symmetry fits snugly around my iPhone. It fits nicely and my device doesn't just slip out of the case. It was therefore difficult to get my smartphone in the case. Fortunately, getting it out was a lot easier.

I tested this case on the iPhone 11, but the Otterbox Symmetry is the same for other types of devices.

Review is 5,7 out of 10.

Sturdy cover, poor quality

Sturdy cover
Good fall protection
Great looks for a sturdy cover
Volume buttons click heavily

Sturdy cover that protects the iPhone well in the event of a fall. Fits comfortably in the hand and not too heavy for a cover with good protection. The durability of the product is very moderate. Tried several new versions, but time and time again the bottom tears out and the edges stretch, so that the iPhone is no longer firmly in the cover.
