In addition to the presented Symmetry series I have also a Commuter Case for the S5. Meanwhile, I use only the Symmetry case.
The Symmetry Series is designed to provide a good balance between protection, manageability and appearance. As regards the protection, of course, can give no definitive, absolute judgment, unless entering the real thing and the envelope participates the first falls. But I see absolutely by the structure and the materials that these cover more protection than a 5 silicone case. In principle, the Symmetry-shell is a streamlined Commuter Case, the construction with a hard plastic outer shell and an inner filling with flexible material is pretty much identical. The inner filling is also framed the display and extends approximately one millimeter beyond it. This provides protection for the screen on impact.
Manageability and appearance I find very successful. The overall package of Smartphone and Symmetry case fits comfortably in your hand and is compared to other Otterbox products very compact. The roughened, matt surface of casing gives the whole feel. The appearance is a matter of taste, but compared to my Commuter case the Symmetry case acts less martial and elegant.
Conclusion
The Symmetry cover gives my smartphone protection without imposing big compromise on appearance and operation. A fall with this case, I am looking forward to relaxing. Priced is the case with 35 of course not cheap but an OtterBox is nunmal a premium brand with quality in accordance with the Smartphone Cases segment.
