Customers are saying

Customers value the protection offered by the Symmetry Series 360 Elite Folio Tablet Case, but some have expressed concerns regarding its Apple Pencil holder. The holder is described as flimsy and prone to detaching, potentially leading to loss of the pencil. Several users suggest improvements to the pencil holder design for better security and charging. A more secure attachment mechanism for the Apple Pencil is desired by some customers.

    Protective case with serious drawbacks

    The case protects the iPad well and its slim design doesn’t add much bulk. I don’t use an Apple Pencil, so I don’t use the pull-out holder built into the case. I have a 1st Generation iPad 11 inch and the power button on the case will not reach/activate the power button on the iPad. The volume buttons work just fine. The cover flap is great at folding closed over the iPad, but the magnet is very weak when it is folded over the back or used as a stand. One small bump knocks it down - sometimes the weight of the case is enough to make it give way. I am very disappointed in the case, especially considering the high price.

    Jury’s still out but it’s not looking good

    If you’re looking for a folio-type case that lets your iPad survive a fall and has a place to stick your Apple Pencil, this works. If you’re looking for a case that doubles as an easel, forget it. This scores a 20 on the scale of 1=it works and 10=it’s the most ridiculously, absolutely frustrating piece of %*}*} to try to use it as an easel. For the price, would it have killed Otterbox to add 2 cents of magnets so it really could be an easel?!?! Who tests these things before they go into production?! This is probably going back.

      Hey there! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with the Symmetry Series 360 Elite case with us. We're happy to hear the protection offered by this case has been up to par for you so far, but we apologize for any discouragement you've had with the stand for this case. The folio should seamlessly fold out of the way to convert to multiple stand angles for comfortable typing and hands-free viewing. If those magnets aren't holding strong though, we definitely understand your concern. We'd like to see what we can do to sort this out for you. Please give our CS team a call at 1-855-688-7269 and they'd be more than happy to dive a bit deeper into this in order to find the best solution for you.

      Warm regards,
      OtterBox Customer Support OtterBox

    Trash. Do not recommend. The outter edge protection does not sit right. It started peeling away from the plastic body of the case. Pencil holder very flimsy and keeps falling off. Sometimes the pencil doesn’t sit flush and doesn’t charge.

    OtterBox - average case

    Basic Otterbox case with Wake on open/Sleep on close feature. The case like all of OtterBox cases is very well form fit to the product. Cons: the case only allows Apple Pencil to stick to side of the tablet. This leads to it easily falling off and potentially getting lost. Case could have benefited from a loop or clip or some place to secure the pencil inside of the case/cover.

    The case if good, as all otterbox products. However, didn’t work well as a stand. The iPad would fall every time you touch it.

    Piece of junk. The left edge became disconnected from the plastic shell. The edge is streched out and hangs loose. No way to glue it back because it is some type of silicone material that doesn’t stick to glue. Bump!
