Dear [redacted] ,Thanks for getting back to usWe do apologize for any delaysWe do see you did a warranty claim on 11/17/Unfortunately, we cannot process a third party refund based on a warrantyThere is no line item value to warranties, and finance absolutely requires an itemized receipt from a third party to process a third party refundWe are seeing that the case we replaced in November was in turn purchased at [redacted] in October of [redacted] may be able to pull up your receipt if you go back to themThis is the only way we can get that refund processedPlease understand that this third party refund on the case is not something everyone qualifies for, and is only offered as a special exception.The offer for getting you any case at the same price point still stands as well, if you cannot provide the purchase receiptPlease let us know if you have any questions.Best,Sarah

Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because: I would like to see the photos that were submitted, as well as verification of what is incorrect please. We do not have access to them because they were taken by the phone that will not turn on. Also, we still have a phone that will not work and a case that was defective. You should at least refund the $99 that we paid for the case. Please note that replacing the case will not help our situation since the phone does not work. A full refund of the $99 and verification of the photos that were submitted incorrectly would satisfy us. One of the photos we provided was a copy of the receipt. Regards, [redacted] * [redacted] ***

I purchased the Otterbox Defender Series from [redacted] about a month ago (end of April), $And then I also purchased an Alpha Glass kit for the S9, $The case has some slight design flaws that are kind of unavoidable with the design of the curved screen, but my primary issue is with the Alpha GlassWithin a week the Alpha Glass screen protector fell off multiple times and I was able to readjust it, I had a local [redacted] store originally install it, alsoBut the adhesive must have been weaker after reapplication and it fell off again and againI purchased another Alpha Glass - $It stayed on for about a week, as soon as the phone gets warm the adhesive must become weak and the screen protector moves and in this case it became separated from the screen and broke offI called Otterbox and they replaced the Alpha Glass for me for free, which was appreciatedI again, had a cell phone retailer install it and two weeks later it comes off again - so I purchased ANOTHER Alph

[redacted] I have heard nothing back with regard to my request to have a specific contact name and address to mail the receipt to for reimbursement I have already mailed it once trusting it would be received and my check would be sent That, however, did not take place I can not just send it to them again without a specific contact name and address Kindly, [redacted]

Dear [redacted] ,Thanks for reaching out to us and sorry for any delays.This does sound like it has been a frustrating situationAs you are already aware, we are not able to refund shipping charges either wayWe also did make an exception to extend out your return period by a couple of months Now, as you have cogently explained, you would essentially only break even if you were to return that case to usWe do stress it is absolutely the responsibility of the customer to give us a call when making a purchase if there is a shred of doubt that a case may be the correct oneThe [redacted] XPERIA **v and the Sony XPERIA [redacted] are entirely different devices with different namesWe are normally are pretty exact about the process in these circumstancesThat said, due to the intense distress this has caused you, we will allow a very rare, one-time exception for an exchange of the caseIt sounds like you would be interested in an [redacted] or [redacted] caseWe can certainly get you a standard black Defender case for either oneWe still will need to you ship the original case back at your own expenseIf you choose to take us up on this offer, we will cancel the RMA and send you the details for how to get that back to us so we can facilitate the exchangePlease do not send us the [redacted] case until we have finalized details of that exchange and sent you instructions for getting it back to usIt would be a different process than outlined for the RMA.Please let us know if you have any questions.Best,Sarah
