You have to push very hard to get the touch screen to work and you can forget about using the drop down from the top, just won't work with the case.. I picked this one because it said it worked with the case...it does not. I love otter box, but this is a total waste.

I have always stood by Otterbox, however this one doesnt cut it. It looks great, easy to keep clean, however i have to push very hard if not hold my finger on parts of the screen in order to have my phone work, ie. parts of the keyboard are very hard to activate with this glass on it.

WORST PURCHASE EVER
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
First, I purchased the "Defender" case, but it was "screenless", so I had to purchase the "alpha glass", it was supposed to work perfect with the defender case, but it doesn't. You have to push very hard to type or select something. Also, I've never dropped my phone and the glass is already cracked, it started with a little crack and now is has extented all over the screen. I mean, I haven't used it more than a month. I've always used defender series, and this time I'm really dissapointed.
PLEASE, DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS!!!

Dear Jesus,
Our apologies that the iPhone X Alpha Glass cracked under the pressure of protecting your Galaxy S8! It is bizarre that your touch sensitivity seemed to be so affected - normally, the Alpha Glass provides seamless protection for the device. It sounds like there could have been a misalignment issue going on, and we would love to smooth things over with a warranty replacement. If installed correctly, we're confident that a new Alpha Glass should offer full functionality of the screen, while keeping it safe. Please feel welcome to check out the following link to watch an application video for this screen protector, and call our friendly Otters at 1-855-688-7269. They'll set you up with a warranty claim and send you a new Alpha Glass right away!

Touch screen didn't work with protector on. I had to press down so hard to use my phone. Ended up removing screen protector the next day because I couldn't use my touch screen and best buy won't take it back because it was opened.

Hi Jes124,
We're so sorry to hear that the Galaxy S8 Alpha Glass seems to be slightly hindering your touch sensitivity! This is definitely a curious situation, as normally the screen protector acts seamlessly with the device and is like a near-invisible shield. Regardless, our Otter detectives will be more than happy to put a magnifying glass to this and investigate further! Please feel free to contact them at 1-855-688-7269 so that they can solve this mystery and make sure you have the fortified screen security that you deserve!
Best, OtterBox Customer Service Team

Horrible screen responsiveness

My touch screen stopped being responsive after about 3 weeks. It is great protection and fits the case better than the alternatives on the market. But the gaps became too much to manage. Curved screens and screen protection are as difficult combo.

Has severly effected the touch screen and keeps popping up off the screen. Was just installed tonight so I'm leaving my case off to see if it will set. If this continues I will be contacting otterbox! My mother also got the same thing and is having the same problem.
