OtterBox Symmetry Case Review: Shock-Absorbing Interior and External

Price and Where to Buy OtterBox Symmetry Case: Prices range from $24.98-$67.42 on Amazon, and between $39.95-$54.95 on OtterBox's website.

Pros:

• Available for: iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 5/5S, iPhone 5c, Galaxy S4, Galaxy S5
• Comes in a wide variety of colors and patterns
• Thin case is pocket-friendly, so you can carry it everywhere
• Shock-absorbing interior and external materials protect your phone from drops
• Raised beveled edge keeps the screen protected
• One piece design easily snaps on and off your phone
• Lightweight

Cons:

• Although the raised edge on the case keeps the glass screen on your phone somewhat safe from drops, you will probably need to also invest in a screen protector to prevent scratches or cracks. (Otterbox's compatible Alpha Glass screen protector is sold separately, and will run you an additional $20-$30.)
