Was not feeling the degradation of the MagSafe leather case and got the Otterbox Symmetry+ with MagSafe. Very excellent case and slim. Buttons aren't as tactile as the Apple leather case but it isn't mushy like some have said. The MagSafe magnet is very good too. No issues.

Good choice on white as magsafe leaves a white ring on the black.

Can you show photos of the leather MagSafe marks?

How's the grip on that one? I have the Aneu series and it's slippery. i Have the caudabe sheath now but I'm looking for a change and looking at that symmettry or the apple white silicone since I just want grip and I don't need much protection

Symmetry cases are a lot more slippery than the Aneu case is.

Right off the bat, it is a better fit, specifically around the camera lenses.

That said, it will still be a smudge magnet, so I doubt it moves me away from my Sheath.

Can you post a pic showing the back with the improved camera cutout?

Two silicones and a leather, heh. Had to return the usual daily driver saddle brown cause I could tell it would look like iphone 5 poo.

Can anyone with the new symmetry confirm if the bottom is weak around the plug area ? I recall in the past it was flimsy..
Thanks

Thank you , I’m debating picking this up , I have a leather and silicone now but they wear pretty quickly.so maybe an otter box will hold up better in the long run

Same setup, except I’m stuck with the SB. I have the plum and cyprus green silicone cases that I may or may not ever use. Currently in the Bullstrap leather case and don’t really foresee that changing any time soon, which is a tough decision for me because I really like how the silicone cases feel this year.

Also have to say I love how they used a darker blue for the camera frame on that case. The one on the brown is so light and will probably look weird once the leather darkens.

Looks good
Do you prefer this over the Apple cases ? Do you think this would scratch the back of the phone ? Thanks

They are two different animals. The Symmetry would provide better drop protection over the Apple cases. The Symmetry will not scratch the back of the phone. The interior back of the Symmetry is just hard plastic, not a soft microfiber like the Apple cases have. The Symmetry is also one tight mother to get the phone in and out of :oops:
