OtterBox - Defender Series Pro Case for Samsung Galaxy Note9 - Black

This item is very fragile not good for work Or maybe the brand is not so good

The OTTERBOX case for the Note9 has the same great quality I expect from OTTERBOX I expect it to last longer than the phone.

This case is all I expected it to be, with one major exception. "and the built-in screen cover keeps your phone display scratch-free and responsive to touch." This is a Screenless Edition. If you want a case with a built in screen protector, move on.

Otterbox gets serious. The inner protection is a polycarbonate case with internal padding between the case and the Note 9. Then, add optimum protection by placing it in an impact absorbing thick rubber shell. The case adds ample clearance to protect the screen when one places the phone on a table face down. The Otterbox Defender Pro case is synonymous to maximum protection. Why look any further? (Note: Recommend Otterbox Alpha glass screen protector for optimum screen protection.) One of the attached image is the bottom of the Samsung Galaxy Note 9. One can see the amount of rubber protection enclosing the phone.

Recentky broke a screen from a drop offloading equipment from a ladder rack on top of a pickup. Came down on the corner. The Otterbox Symmetry is a nice case, but there isn't enough there for a corner impact on a Note 9. The screen had been pulverized in the corner with oddly enough on two small cracks and working but the touch was off. I had the Pro Case before on a Note 4 and getting back to using it's evolved equivalent is so nice!! Benefits: - Can select "better" off the radius'd edges better for scrolling and text selecting, from annoyance to now achievable with some skill. - Water intrusion protective flap over the usb charge port...who doesn't put there phone ports up in their back pockets....and then a 40 minute no charge period minimum. No longer a problem with the Pro. - The inner foam pad which blocks out dust and small whatever from scratching and imbedding itself in the phone's backside. - Buttons that don't get activated as much; though a little harder to locate and see. - Rubbery material is grippier to the touch and doesn't scuff and scrape as much or near the same as the symmetry. Negatives: - Speaker ports are a bit weaker...the Note 9 has loud speakers (not the loudest out there) but I feel this product took away 10~15 percent of that and some of the bass. But I feel there is enough sound there it doesn't bother me as much except when it's crowded and loud in areas here and there. - Microphone sounds less ambient or like a much lower sampled bitrate. Kind of a dissapointment on a Vlog, but it doesn't seem to be a problem on a call with the speakerphone. - Flaps over the ports are a bit of a pain to open at times. - Protection over the S-Pen corner is minimal as can be - a Samsung fault as how can they expect cell phone cases to be properly built to protect across all of what's going on in that corner. But I think this has been going on for generations now. Over pleased and it feels professional and like a higher end jacketed case.

The case is what you would typically expect from an OtterBox Defender case so you know its going to protect your phone pretty well, however there are 2 issues with this case. The first is that the opening of the case where you can access the S pen is ratherly large and leaves a good part of the phone exposed compared to other cases. The second issue, more of an incovenience, is that if you put a popsocket on the case the flexible part of the housing pulls away from the protective hard part of the case and we had to use double stick tape to prevent this from happening.

I have bought an Otter Box case for all my phones. I work in the field a lot of times and have been known to drop it from time to time. It has always protected my phone.

I was looking for a case that can be more versatile and mu kids recommended this one. The pro has the extra groves on the back along with some other bonuses that I cannot see. Been using it for 6 months or so and I love it and not looking to change my phone for a while. Dropped the phone a few times and had no issues
