My old Symmetry case on my iPhone 6 had buttons that were very easy to press. I recently tried one of the newer ones and was shocked at how incredibly hard the buttons were. What was Otterbox thinking. I'll keep my 3 year old Symmetry case instead.
In LOVE with this case. I've had it for around a month and so Far it still looks brand new. It's very easy to put on and I feel like my phone is super protected when I have this case on. People say the off/on button is hard to press but I find that it's not that hard to press and it doesn't bother me at all. I have the rose gold I phone 7 and it looks crystal clear, not faded or washed out at all. CRYSTAL CLEARRR!!!! I'm over all in love with this case. but I have one complaint: REMOVING THE CASE! Oh my god it's so hard to take off. It took me around 10 minutes to take my case off and I literally had to use all my force to pry it off. Plus, the whole time I felt like I was gonna break my phone. I took it out and my phone wasn't harmed but it's just very hard to take off. Over all great phone case super protective and highly recommend 9.5/10
I wish I watched this review earlier! I have this case on my 7 jet black and it's not as clear as I would have liked it. The case itself is super protective though 👌🏾
Great review. +1. Ordered the iPhone X version and wanted a visual review of the previous model iPhone since I’m sure they’re virtually the same. Happy the companies oversized eyesore logo doesn’t grace the back. That would have been a dealbreaker for me. Lol. Thanks.
Just bought this case today for my 7 plus i love it but i feel like i have to press the wake button hard because the case is hard and rugged same goes for volume buttons. other than that i like this clear case .
I got my case back in April (it is currently December 1st, 2018) and I noticed it yellowing only after a few days. The reason these cases start to yellow quickly is because of a combination of Sunlight exposure, and Heat. (at the time that I got mine, I was working a lot outdoors and it was during a particularly hot April in Texas.) If you work a lot outdoors or just live in a really hot place like I do, you might want to get something else. It can also do this if you tend to use your phone a lot while it's charging, so if you don't want your case to yellow, don't do that! That said, I actually have a completely different problem with my case, and it's the fact that it is coming apart. Specifically, the Silicone part of the phone. It seems to have "expanded," for lack of a better term, and the top part tends to slip out easily. I'm not actually sure what caused it, but this happened within the past 2-3 weeks or so. Putting it back in the plastic part is such a hassle because of the fact that the silicone just doesn't want to fit inside of the plastic anymore and the part where the button covers for the volume buttons protrudes out. That was the first thing that I noticed and after a week or two the silicone just starting to slowly and slowly come out from the plastic part and hasn't stuck to the plastic the same way since. If it weren't for that last fact, I'd actually totally recommend this case. It's kept my phone very safe and despite the look of the case from yellowing and scratches, the phone itself still looks like it did when I bought it. I've dropped my phone a few times and never noticed any major issues.
Back again! I got mine replaced at the beginning of the year (2019) by going to the otterbox website and filing a warranty claim. This time around, because I didn't work as much outside this year, the case didn't yellow immediately. It stayed as clear as possible for a pretty decent amount of time, but did eventually yellow because of, again, exposure to the sun and heat. However, once again, I'm starting to have the issue of the case falling apart because of the silicone outstretching itself. In fact, This time around it was happening a lot earlier, although the case itself stayed together for the most part. However, the past few days (today is December 19th, 2019), it has begun to no longer stick and the silicone is slipping out again, and so I'll be getting a replacement soon. Unsure if I'll file a warranty claim again. I don't think they'll replace it twice. Other than that, my phone remains protected. My advice remains the same. If you care about the aesthetics of your case or work outside/in the heat a lot, you may want to look elsewhere.
What about protection? I bough this for my 7 plus just for the look but I also bought the Defender for everyday use. This really is so thin and lightweight. I trust otterbox but I'm worried about the protection. I bought a 3D tempered glass screen protector just in case.
I bought this case with the black rubber sides. Looks better if you have the Black or the Jette Black iPhone. Btw, does the Moshi airfoil glass screen protector works (will not lift the screen protector) with this case? Thanks!
I would definitely recommend the life proof I know I’m late sorry but I have had the life proof for years NEVER broke for me or got a new one when I changed phone size now my mom is a disabled wheel chair bound and has Brian problems but she dropped her phone in the couch and I couldn’t hear what she was saying so I pulled the legs out of the couch and BENT the phone with the lifeproof case on it like a rainbow she has flushed her phone down the toilet ran it over with her wheelchair tried to throw it at my sister and hit the tree .... but the phone case did not stand a chance against the couch
Litterly every vid for this case in the comments y'all say how it turns yellow and none of y'all can take it off,my case is supposed to come tmr and now I rlly wish I didn't get it
Ok I recently got my new phone about 4 months ago and I had this case on. So today I took the case off and saw that there was a huge circle around the Apple logo that faded the colour of the back of my iPhone. I don’t know why it happened since this was the first case that I ever used with my new phone. If anyone has this plz lemme know bc I have no idea as to why this is happening
I got this, and I just have to recommend, if your hands are very sweaty and slippery, this case is NOT for you. Not only can you drop it, it just feels very uncomfortable. I returned this case immediately.
Angela A it's pretty Grippy. I have a habit of dropping my phone and it's pretty sturdy. It's also not a silicone type case so the clear case shouldn't "yellow" over time
well u cant see the back with the apple leather case. and the otterbox is more protective too with thicker materials and ccovering the bottom. that being said, the apple leather case is a nice case tho
the gold one is, as I needed a demo one to make videos BEFORE the iPhone 7 was officially released. The black one is 100% real. The focus though is on the cases anyway or does that bother you?
randomrazr SHUT UP I LIKE THE CASE I WILL BUY ONE. BUT WHY DOES UR BLACK IPHONE LOOK FAKE CAUSE OF THE SCREEN DOES NOT BLEND IN TO THE BORDERS. IS IT A PROTECTOR THATS WHY THEN...........
Dude cool video and stuff. But you talk really really fast and very unclear. No disrespect. Your lighting / picture quality was amazing but your voice.... it's quite hard to understand you. Anyone else agrees ? Or is it just me ? 😑
Just wanted to drop a comment on here. I bought this case about three months ago and it has turned yellow like a mofo.
Did they ask you for any proof of purchase.
henny peralta thanks for the input. I almost pulled the trigger. I know most clear turn yellow but for 40 bucks to turn yellow after a month. Pass
E ! Yeah I had the same issue and when I called they sent me a new one that's clear but has the black border 👍🏽
E ! I never by clear cases they always yellow
Thx
If you don't want your case to yellow stay away from this case. Looks great first week then starts to yellow and power button is hard af to press
Santiago Medina facts.
I don’t think it covers the home button

Mine did not get yellow. Love it.
ALWAYS WANTED A THICK SOLD GEL CASE
THIS IS THE ONE

It feels good on my hand. The only down side is it allows dust to come inside
it still looks really nice, thanks for the video just got my iPhone 7plus and order this case! (:
I wish I watched this review earlier! I have this case on my 7 jet black and it's not as clear as I would have liked it. The case itself is super protective though 👌🏾
You should do a drop test (:

Can you put an ID card on the back of the case and will it scan?
Kason Minnie7 yes no Stickers also it works with wireless charging
What about protection? I bough this for my 7 plus just for the look but I also bought the Defender for everyday use. This really is so thin and lightweight. I trust otterbox but I'm worried about the protection. I bought a 3D tempered glass screen protector just in case.
of course, easy just dont drop it :)
randomrazr what kinda response is that! Pepole don’t just not drop it accidents happen ?
Hi.. Liked your review.
Wish to know, till which feet it offers drop protection?
Arun Samuel it's otterbox... as long as you don't drop it off the top of your house you're probably fine
I bought this case with the black rubber sides. Looks better if you have the Black or the Jette Black iPhone. Btw, does the Moshi airfoil glass screen protector works (will not lift the screen protector) with this case? Thanks!
Allen Kilby Palon Did the case turned yellow? And, are the buttons easy to click?
Blado2001 nope, it did not turn yellow. The sides are all black. I do not have a hard time with the buttons.
Allen Kilby Palon Thanks for the answer
Where can I find one??
I was going to get the life proof next case but it won't be able to ship on time so will this be an upgrade or a downgrade?
I would definitely recommend the life proof I know I’m late sorry but I have had the life proof for years NEVER broke for me or got a new one when I changed phone size now my mom is a disabled wheel chair bound and has Brian problems but she dropped her phone in the couch and I couldn’t hear what she was saying so I pulled the legs out of the couch and BENT the phone with the lifeproof case on it like a rainbow she has flushed her phone down the toilet ran it over with her wheelchair tried to throw it at my sister and hit the tree .... but the phone case did not stand a chance against the couch
Which one is bulkier the speck clear case or the otter box clear case? Specially for the iPhone 8 Plus.
It just mirrors it and brightens it
Is there another non-yellowing case that would show the matte black backing completely?
Both those cases are different
Can I know those names
I have a 7 but I like the 7 plus case
its in the title
For my case it is completely clear not cloudy, I wonder why I can't find a review for that specific version
Nimbus Prolly a fake, if it was bought online thats most likely the case
Which one would you recommend this one or the speck presidio clear case?
both are nice. but the otterbox i would say is a tad more protective. thicker borders
randomrazr thank you for replying! I'm a new sub. Really enjoy your videos.
reginaalear thanks ! gla du enjoyed the vid!:)

Coming back here to appreciate the best color Apple ever made - matte black iPhone 7 Plus
What's the purpose of a CLEAR case if the back of it looks blurry and washed out because of the interior finish? Completely worthless.
I have 2 and they are cracked on the edges so I guess the defender is the only real otter box case
Litterly every vid for this case in the comments y'all say how it turns yellow and none of y'all can take it off,my case is supposed to come tmr and now I rlly wish I didn't get it
my sister has had hers for 6 months and hasn't gone yellow
It's easy to get off
What screen protector do you have on the plus?
Hey man, will the jet black color show just fine with this case?
it shows it but its kinda, uhh, washed out if thats the right word? like it wont look "jet black color"
What case do you recommend that is clear and shows black very well?
a friend and I both got these and my is clear by my friends is yellow, because he is a smoker.
My case scratches up a lot
My one has turned brown after like 6 months
Nice case
When I bought this case, it came with a scratch on the back and this case scratches a lot
Javier N. SAME
I just called for replacement because of yellowing, and they are sending me the one with black border
Sightz - Fifa black crystal case
Ok I recently got my new phone about 4 months ago and I had this case on. So today I took the case off and saw that there was a huge circle around the Apple logo that faded the colour of the back of my iPhone. I don’t know why it happened since this was the first case that I ever used with my new phone. If anyone has this plz lemme know bc I have no idea as to why this is happening
SO..... If I dropped my iphone in this case, from about waist height, the screen wouldn't crack ?
Would it look good with a red iPhone 7
Ethan P yes
Que será mejor el otterbox defender o el clear
oui
Mine is still clear had it for a month
I got this, and I just have to recommend, if your hands are very sweaty and slippery, this case is NOT for you. Not only can you drop it, it just feels very uncomfortable. I returned this case immediately.
This or Uag plasma??
Can someone tell me if this case is "grippy" at all or slippery?
yes
Angela A it's pretty Grippy. I have a habit of dropping my phone and it's pretty sturdy. It's also not a silicone type case so the clear case shouldn't "yellow" over time
Thanks Alli. I was worried about the size of the phone and if the case was slippery I wouldn't be able to hold on to it. :-) Thanks for your reply.
Alli Hicks do u think if it got a pen ink on it it'll be removed easily?
Does it smudge easily?
not at all
which template glass screen protector have you got for this iphones?
been happy iwth the brando 3d curved glass or moshi ionglass
$50 bucks for plastic. You can get the Apple genuine leather case for the same price and it's leather. Otterbox is worse than apple with prices now.
well u cant see the back with the apple leather case. and the otterbox is more protective too with thicker materials and ccovering the bottom. that being said, the apple leather case is a nice case tho
True, it's just insane that it costs that much for a cheaper material.
On sale on amazon right now for 24 bucks.
speaking from experience, the apple leather cases (genuine, bought from the apple store) seem to fade and become discoloured on the sides.
so hard to remove!!!!!
It is clearly positive...nice pun
Terrible Case For Scratches!!! On The Back Of it!!!!
The back scratches right?
Right Rudder Yeah, it does
Nice vid
That’s right who gives a shit if it blocks out some of the black, it’s to protect your phone now isn’t it ?
Good
aardvark case, eh?
Guaranteed to yellow
Am I the only person who likes when cases yellow djjdkd
🙂
I can't take it off to say my life
LCJ MadeintheA did you figure out how to take it off yet 😫
Cooking with a Dog
wtf are u talking about
My dads turned blue from his jeans, looks better tbh lol
Terrible review. Maybe show us how hard or easy the buttons are to hit?? And raised corners and sides etc
UR PHONES R FAKE LOOOL
the gold one is, as I needed a demo one to make videos BEFORE the iPhone 7 was officially released. The black one is 100% real. The focus though is on the cases anyway or does that bother you?
randomrazr SHUT UP
I LIKE THE CASE I WILL BUY ONE.
BUT WHY DOES UR BLACK IPHONE LOOK FAKE CAUSE OF THE SCREEN DOES NOT BLEND IN TO THE BORDERS.
IS IT A PROTECTOR THATS WHY THEN...........
Mohammed Suleman yes itheres an edge to edge glass screen protector on it, good eye for catching the different black
This case fucked up my power button, it's not a good case at all
Dude cool video and stuff. But you talk really really fast and very unclear. No disrespect. Your lighting / picture quality was amazing but your voice.... it's quite hard to understand you. Anyone else agrees ? Or is it just me ? 😑
i will try and talk a little slower in my future vids. i tend to talk fast...ALOT
randomrazr haha cool stuff bro. I don't mean to be a dick or whatever. As I said your content and setup is on point 🖐🏽
Ruhal Ramchander thanks man! appreciate the feedback!
Which one is better for the jet black? This one, the supcase unicorn beetle or the spigen ultra hybrid
