I have been using the Symmetry Clear Case on my iPhone 13 since December 2021 and even though it started to get yellowish after a month or two of usage, I can say that it is still my preferred case to use since its fit and grip are very solid. Plus it’s very expensive so I have to use it. Haha 🤣
I won't be using Otterbox for iPhone 13 mini as it's a case that's for 12 mini, and so it's all a little off as the 13 mini isn't compatible with 12 mini, but Otterbox wanted to be lazy and not design a case specific for 13 mini.
I'd like to ask: When you show the Defender case, the inside color is green and you can notice it in the back just around the cameras, but when you go to the amazon link, it shows the case but instead of green, it's black. Did you notice it when you bought the case? Thank you.
Is there much of a difference in the front lip between the symmetry and the aneu? I’m interested to see if one is wider or thicker than the other. Thanks.
Hi there! I bought figura case for my phone, when I wore it, it pushed out my tempered glass so now there are bubbles under glass(Maybe you can recommend some tempered glasses that can fit better to this case.
Someone plz give me an advice!! I've bought iPhone 13 mini few days ago, and never experienced Magsafe things. Should I go for Defender XT to build Magsafe environment from now or go for Original Defender just because I like the way it looks. Btw thanks for your video; it's really hard to find what it looks like with the iPhones!!
All OtterBox cases with magnets are built with equal adhesion for magsafe accessories although personally I would recommend Defender XT for extra protection 👍🏻
@@MobileCodePH Thnx for reply. I wanted the original defender one because its bulky looks makes it cute :) and helps the phone stay flat - Jobs wouldn't like the camera island!. As you recommended xt one seems futuristic form factor of the Original ones by supporting magsafe. Btw Do you think xt ones looks as good as the original defender cases? Personally have never tried otterbox cases since I've owned big iPhones, and minis are small enough to be bulky with them:))
Did you end up with the classic defender? I’m looking for cases now and leaning to the bigger defender. The phone is already small so not too worried adding some size to it. Plus it will take all sorts of abuse
@@danjuros9321 Hi there, I've bought a Lumen one since summer days are upcoming! But honestly I was so so disappointed its built quality though. Both of defender ones might be better than what I bought, but I just couldn't stand with its cheap built quality. Clear parts got scratched right after a day :( So, finally I ended up with another brand "Caudabe", It took about a month from US to S.Korea via France (dunno why) but I'm quite satisfied. Lugged but slick and slim, not slippery at all, and feels almost good as Apple's leather case. Also magsafe battery sticks strongly. So I guess I can't deserve anymore than this. I'd have tried defender series, but through all these experiences, I'd go for Caudabe if I add another one.
Hi.Firstly, love the review. Secondly. Can you tell me where to buy the Defender xt with mag safe please as I can't find one anywhere and the link only sends me to the standard defender model
Just purchased a commuter for my iPhone 13 mini. It does not fit correctly! Specifically hard plastic does not fit around the camera lens housing. Comparing to our iPhone 12 mini (with which the same commuter case fits perfectly) you can see that the iPhone 13 mini lens housing is slightly wider than the 12 mini. Have you see this before? I will return this case but have asked Otterbox for their opinion and whether they do in fact have a case that will correctly fit the iPhone 13 mini.
Thanks for sharing how to install the Defender case. Apparently Otter Box can't be troubled with shipping a set of instructions, or even a link to a video. To those that may consider using an aftermarket screen protector, I can definitely say that the Manto screen protector is NOT the correct choice - all four corners sucked air, but only after I installed the Defender case. Looking for another option... may have to do without.
I've always had Defender cases on my iPhone. But WHY did they take away the built in screen protector !!! I just bought the iPhone 13 mini and guess what ? NO screen protectors on ANY of the Otterbox cases ! I personally do not like the glass ones you can put on the phones. After awhile, they ALWAYS get air under them and it cheapens the look of the phone. BAD move Otterbox. Thanks for the vid, good job.
I have ran otter box defenders too, I find after time the plastic screen protector gets plenty scratched and a little harder to see screen, I just got a 13 mini and got the one down from the defender, I tell you I’ve dropped my old SE many times and the phone was very well protected, I’m liking the Tempered glass protector so far with the commuter cover

Doesn't have built-in MagSafe but MagSafe charging works ok except for MagSafe charging stand as the phone won't hold the magnets pretty well on standing or floated position. Thanks for watching!
I just ordered the figura, coz it looks nice, i already have the defender pro but i feel like its going to scratch my phone inside. Regarding the figura, I am seeing some comments from other videos that its a little loose? Do you have the same issue?
What is sad is that I’ve been buying OtterBox over the years and loved them. What is sad they no longer offer a screen cover that is built into the phone case for your $700.00 and up iPhone. The gorilla glass or any other glass is a joke. All my phones with the older OtterBox cases are in Pristine condition! Come on OtterBox....Get with the program and listen. From Disappointed Customer
fully agreed. finally getting to upgrading my old phone with the older otterbox protector and am horrified they dont have the built in screen cover. what is wrong with them?
Thank you for showing it with the MagSafe wallet!!!

Very nice review Trey! Glad to see the Commuter case just in time before getting one thanks! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Nice. Thank you for showing the strength of the magsafe.
Great reviews. I purchased the ‘Defender XT’ case on the back of your reviews! Thankyou.
Love your lock screen, bro! It's always encouraging to see other believers in the world!
2 ads before a video are ridiculous. Soon we’ll have to watch an ad before answering a phone call 😒
😂
😂😂😂

There is none actually. Both have identical dimensions and front bezels.

OtterBox’s Alpha Glass works best for their cases

otterbox is my favorite case forever, I am using otterbox symmetry pop case in my iphone 12 pro. Nice video bro.
Otter+pops are great! I agree. Thanks for watching!
I have the OtterBox case, which has two parts, first, you put the rubber part on, and then the plastic part goes on top of it
does the clear symmetry add much bulk on to your iphone 13 mini?
Not at all! I have the 13 mini and an otterbox symmetry case, and it is strong but sleek!

Where can I buy the red symmetry otter box case??

You’ve got to be incompetent if you can’t install a phone into a case I mean it’s common sense what more instruction do you need. 😂
Are you ok?
Hi! Do you have any ideas if there’s an addtional fees when you ordered via otterbox asia?
I'm in Dubai RN and its 50$ shipping:(
So I just got a mouse case

Simple reason.........$$$$$. The same reason Apple no longer ships phones with wall chargers and earpods.
Is there no dark green defender?
I don’t think there is
Does the commuter case have built on magnets for mag safe and how well does work with that if not
Doesn't have built-in MagSafe but MagSafe charging works ok except for MagSafe charging stand as the phone won't hold the magnets pretty well on standing or floated position. Thanks for watching!

Mine’s form fitted :)
Thank you brother!
Good review
The commuter hasn’t changed which I’m glad about.
do the heavy duty cases fit the phone when you have the full screen glass on it?
It’s not compatible with edge-to-edge screen protectors :(

Just get a tempered glass screen protector, they look better than the flimsy built in ones they used to have in phone cases.
