OtterBox - Defender Series Case for Samsung Galaxy Note8 - Big sur

The Otter Box Defender series provides the kind of rugged protection one would expect from the Otter Box line - that said, the USB-C charging cable cover has a high torque to want to be in the closed position (making it seem waterproof, however, the entire section to its right to access the S-Pen is open and ergo not-waterproof so the need for the USB cover seems slightly arbitrary. I had a USB-A to micro-USB cable that had a USB-C cap adapter to go on top of the micro-USB plug. After one week of use, the constant pressure of the Otter Box Defender USB-C cover pushing on the USB-C cap adapter broke off the adapter from its plastic housing. I now "undress" the bottom half of the Otter Box when I decide to charge my Samsung Note8 so the USB-C cover does not come into play (and thus having my phone temporarily in a semi-protected state). Overall, I'm happy with the case (I find the Samsung Note8 to be slippery with its finish, narrow tall shape and somewhat hefty weight) despite my "solution" to the USB-C cable charging issue

I love the case it protects the phone. I will recommend that you have a screen protector on the phone. I wish it had the screen protector cover. It protects your phone well. I dropped it and nothing broke.

I bought this for a better protection for my phone. Glad I did and just in the nick of time. My phone fell at work on the restroom floor face down. The screen went one way and the phone the other. Yes, the screen protector was shattered but the phone was fine. Couldn't have made a better choice. Love this otterbox and the color is awesome too.

I have really enjoyed the protection this OtterBox has provided for my phone. I have dropped the phone a couple of times and the phone remains undamaged.

I had an Otter Box Defender case on my previous phone for years. It kept the phone well protected. Both the phone and the case still look new. I just got a new Samsung Galaxy Note 8. I researched other cases but ended up with Otter Box Defender. Great protection and very convenient to carry and use the phone!!

Both my oldest son and I have one for our phones and have dropped them often with no damage. So I insisted that my youngest son get this for his phone.

This case is awesome, right after installing this case on my phone I dropped it on a hard basement floor, and my phone still worked with no issues. This is one safe case, hands down!

This case keeps my Samsung Galaxy Note8 in great shape! It's durable and keeps dust out. I often use the holster and clip to attached it to belts... fantastic!
