Well, not even 24 hours with a clear Otterbox Symmetry and I am planning to return it. I'll go back to my ESR Mimic for now - I wanted more protection. I may go back to the Tech21 Pure Clear, which treated me pretty well for my N9. Or maybe I'll keep testing clear cases to find "the one". The aura blue is too pretty to cover right now!
- Claims to be 'scratch resistant' which is odd, because this case scratches more than any clear case I recall using. Within an hour of use I found a scratch that I truly cannot identify cause for. I think once even my shirt scratched it as I attempted to wipe fingerprints away.
- When wiping fingerprints, I find they sometimes just look smeary vs. going away - again, more so than other clear cases I have experience with for some reason.
- Case adds a good amount of bulk, I should've maybe expected it with Otterbox but the reviews hinted to a thinner profile. Maybe, but it's added bulk on the sides is a bit much for my hands.
- Bottom cutouts are good/functional, but a little bit sharp. The way I hold my phone in one hand with it resting on my pinky, I really notice them on this case and get a little uncomfortable.
LOVE the lip on the front, though. Just depends how you use it/what bothers you obviously. I'd say arguably the most protective clear case, certainly true of anything I've tried before.
