Usual good OtterBox

I had with my old cell phone a OtterBox since had at the considerably more expensive successors of course also produces a. First, the great confusion: there is for the apple indeed different models ... I then decided to use the "thin" Symmetry variant. Thus the phone looks least still halfway elegant and not as a murder tool. At least I was until now no one asked what I intend for the hell with my phone. That's happened to me in the predecessor about every time I had it in my hand. Design so great!
Important for me when choosing a shell is primarily that it is "higher" than the display, so the phone can not pop it directly. That's at every OtterBox case, so I ordered it and two days later could finally stop trembling and let the preliminary 08/15-envelope in a drawer.

After a few months in operation, first the good news: the cell phone is still quite. Could also be that my androids had a significantly more pronounced epilepsy. But two or three times the iPhone's but then ended up on the floor. Is directly a completely different feeling when there are 600 with the face down on the tiles, than with a 300 plastic device. But, as I said, so far nothing has happened. The shell therefore fulfilled exemplary meaning.
The neutral news: it still does not feel 100% securely. On my old OtterBox, which has consisted of a silicone and a hard plastic part (ie as the "Commuter"), that was something completely different. Why Anyway, maybe it was just that "chunky" design that does not exist in the Symmetry. That's not necessarily bad, as it encourages me to still be careful when despite protection by mobile phone. But is probably not only felt less secure shell, but also at what's inside.
The negative message: to take a rather bright shell, was not a good idea. It is in fact now the silicone edges quite black. Fits somehow not an Apple product. It looks like I would throw my phone at random in any backpacks or put in the dirt. In addition, a pile accumulates the vacancies at the bottom and the "Mute" switch dust, but that's to be expected with such vacancies yes.

My Conclusion: Buy recommendation, but not in this color. She keeps its promises without being too bulky. Toll I find that you have omitted here the cut apple on the back. For me, however, is something towards Commuter / Defender / Preserver but probably better since I basically everything falls out of his hand, whether glasses, cell phones, cameras or laptops. Wants to be but who does not know such problems, yet for a "case" of cases armed, equipped perfectly with the Symmetry.
