It was a giant battle to get the OtterGrip Symmetry Collection onto my iPhone 14, so I’ve to confess I used to be dreading taking it off once more (and once I did it actually harm my fingers), however as soon as on, not less than in idea, you shouldn’t must take away it once more—as of late the one purpose to take away a case tends to be to cost through MagSafe and this case snaps into place with MagSafe, in order that’s not a priority.
As soon as within the case all buttons are accessible and work as anticipated. The vital half is how properly the case protects the iPhone inside, and the excellent news is that this case may be very protecting. It has raised edges to guard each the digicam and display, right here it’s extra about safety than being slim, so these raised edges jut out a bit—however that may guarantee your iPhone display and digicam lenses are secure. Along with that safety, OtterBox claims to have drop examined this with thrice as drops as are required by the army commonplace (MIL-STD-810G 516.6).
Hopefully you gained’t be dropping it within the first place, as a result of the case can also be grippy to carry, so that you shouldn’t discover it slipping out of your hand.
