Amazon.com: Customer reviews: OTTERBOX SYMMETRY SERIES Case for Galaxy S10 - Retail Packaging

Top positive review

Great, protective, yet sleek and good-looking case

Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2021

Recently purchased a Galaxy S10 for a family member (I'm personally team iPhone lol) and have a great history with OtterBox cases, but since the last time I've ever actually had to buy one was many years ago and since then, I've become much more of a simplistic person in life, so I wanted this case to match that view and just be generally functional, good-looking, and non-extravagant. I am really happy I found the OtterBox Symmetry line of cases as they fit that bill very well. Even the OtterBox logo itself is not intrusive or and doesn't take away from the aesthetic in any way. The case is a perfect strike between minimalism and protection for those who don't want to spend $70 on something like a Mous case, considering all it does is cover a phone. And I can't lie, (again, coming from the perspective of an iPhone user), seeing this case on the Galaxy S10 actually makes me like the phone more. This case makes the phone look better than the bare phone, in my opinion. It just makes holding the phone really pleasant and gives a great grip without being made of rubber or something that would be a hair magnet. As for the east to remove part, I gave it a 5-star rating just to not bring the overall rating down, but it is actually really hard to remove. In fact, I don't even know why the review system sees that as a bad thing. The harder it is to remove, the more protective it will be; it won't just let your phone slip out and go flying. The case grips the phone very, very tight, ensuring that it's super safe, but is removable with about 10 to 30 seconds worth of effort if you need to get it off. Overall, really happy with it considering getting one for my own iPhone 12 as well.

Buy an Ortterbox case but don't buy it for the warranty.

This is the second case for my S10 which I purchased in June 2022. A corner came apart and I filed a warranty claim. Otterbox told me they are no longer making the Symmetry for the S10 and also that they had none to send me for a warranty claim. Well, there are plenty here at the Otterbox store. I guess they didn't think I could figure that one out.

The product is of good quality. This is my second or third time having to buy one because over time the rubber will start to break and peel off, but overall it protects my phone and is comfortable to use. I also really like the symmetry style because it's thinner and lighter than a lot of the other otterbox series. Overall 8.5/10 and I would recommend this for galaxy s10 phones

Sleek style sacrifices some protection.

This is a well made and stylish case but it's not for me. I know that the purpose of this case is to be thin and easy to slide in and out of a pocket and it accomplishes this. I am looking for a little more protection and stability. These are the issues I have.

The sides of the case are about a mm shorter than the phone screen. Since the top and bottom extend about 3mm beyond the screen, the sides could have been extended a little more without comproming the function on the screen edges too much. This leaves the screen a little vulnerable on the sides. Other Otterbox cases cover a little more.

The seam along the sides of the phone separates the the front side, which is rubbery, and the back of the case, which is plastic. The rubbery side offers grip but the plastic side offers little grip. This plastic covers the rear half on the sides which reduces the grip on the phone when holding. This plastic allows for easy sliding of the phone into pockets but makes it easier to drop.

Speaking of the plastic backing. It is hard plastic and thin. It doesn't seem to be much protection to shock if dropped. Remember, if it slides into a pocket easy, it can slide out easy too. Maybe unintentional.

If you want a thin case with the Otterbox name, this is it. If you want an Otterbox that will protect your phone, get the bigger ones.

I love this phone case, I have had my phone now over 4 years and I have gotten this same phone case 3 times now. My phone still works fine its just after time the case starts to get brown around the edge where the rubber is. Dirt build up properly. But every year or so i buy this case and my phone looks brand new! Its clear so the color of my phone shows through which I love. This case has kept my phone from getting damaged for over 4 years, and I drop my phone all the time, still no cracks! I recommend this case for sure!

I think I have had this case on my phone for about two years now. It has survived many falls and has held up great. The soft part of the case is literally just now starting to break a down a bit, but after 2 years I think its definitely done more than it was intended. I highly recommend this case. We had a great run.
