    I'm sure this case protects the phone. However, I have only had it 2 weeks and it looks filthy. I have removed it and scrubbed it with a tooth brush twice but it doesn't take long to look dirty again. I would not buy this light pink color again.

      Dear Karla,

      We sincerely apologize that your case got discolored so quickly! The lighter shades on the OtterBox Commuter cases can sometimes pick up other colors depending on what types of elements they are exposed to daily. Regardless, we would love to smooth things over with a warranty claim, so please feel free to ring up our color conscious Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they will design a solution for you!

      Regards,

    Worst case I ever bought. Loose all th way around the edges. Cheaply made. Seems rushed so they could make a dollar. I'll think twice before getting Otter box on the future with so many new companies out now. Don't waist your money. If zero stars were a choice I would have went with that!

      Hey there Daddy,

      It certainly would be frustrating to have a Commuter that's rough around the edges, and we apologize! We assure you, this experience is not typical of our products, especially since our cases normally hug their companion devices pretty snugly. Please feel free to call our handy Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll find a quick fix for this! You'll have a case that fully protects your Galaxy Note 8 before you know it!

    The sides of the case are too slick, and I keep dropping it when I first try to pick it up. If I pick it up by the more rubbery parts toward the top, I accidentally squeeze too hard depressing the buttons often.

      Hi jtforeman!

      We're sorry that the Commuter keeps slipping out of your hands! The good news is, if it drops, the phone is well protected. Either way, we want you to enjoy the style of the case along with the peace of mind that comes with it! The Defender case might work better, especially since it has rubber silicone on the outside of the case, giving it more traction. If you follow the link below, you'll be able to check it out right here on Best Buy! Please feel free to reach out to our support team at 1-855-688-7269 with any further questions or comments.

    My phone fell out of my jacket pocket and landed on its side. A little stone went through the power button nub and broke my power button. Now I have to get a new phone.

      Dear Amanda,

      We're genuinely sorry to hear that this Galaxy Note 8 retained some fatal damage after an incident with the Commuter series! While we test our cases extensively to ensure maximum device protection, unfortunately each fall is subject to a number of different variables, such as rocks, that are simply beyond our control. Although our warranty does not extend to the device itself, we would still love to set you up with a new OtterBox in the event that your current case was also damaged during the incident. Please feel welcome to call our friendly Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll be glad to further assist you with this!

      Sincerely,
      OtterBox Customer Service Team otterbox

    Nice protective case

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I've never been a fan of cases for phones but one with an all-glass front and back seems negligent not to have one. Pros: Grip Size Protection Cons: Size can go here too if you're looking for a slim case Wireless charging is hit or miss at times. You have to lay the convertible charger flat and line it up in the middle. It does work though. Overall, I liked this case and recommend it to anyone who likes a rugged case that's not as thick as traditional OtterBox cases.

    Not like the older cases. You have to purchase a screen protector. Not durable enough for my husband.

    This case was ok. It's thinner than the Defender but ok. If you prefer a thinner case this may be the one for you.

      Hey there Jchp,

      It's true - the Commuter series is a bit thinner than the Defender! However, even with its sleeker style, the Commuter still provides ample protection to keep your device looking brand-new. If you have any further OtterBox questions or comments, please feel welcome to contact our amazing Otters at 1-855-688-7269. They'll always go to great feats to help you out!
