Customers regard the Commuter Case for Samsung Galaxy Note8 highly for its protective qualities and snug fit, with many praising its ease of use and lightweight design. While some users noted the case's color can be prone to staining, the majority found it to be a durable and well-made option. A few users mentioned challenges with wireless charging while the case was on the phone. Overall, the positive feedback on protection and usability outweighs the reported drawbacks.

    Different from the Otterbox on my Note 2. I dropped my phone with this one and the phone broke.

    this product did not keep my phone screen from cracking from a 3 foot fall. my last, bigger otterbox protected my phone from dramatic falls...lol, but this one couldn't protect my phine from a minor one. looks better, less bulky but nowhere near as good as the model from 4/5 years ago.

    Nice case, but for what you pay, out should have a screen protector as well.

    The Otter box case on my note 4 saved me a few times and no issues. Yesterday was the first time I dropped this phone more than a few inches. I dropped it at belt level onto the street. So idea if another brand would have preformed better but I am disappointed.

      Hi TimR,

      We're so sorry to hear that your Galaxy Note 8 took a fatal fall while under the careful protection of the Commuter series, and we completely understand your disappointment. Truly every effort is put forth in both our engineering and testing processes to ensure that our products provide the best device protection possible, but unfortunately, every drop falls prey to a number of dangerous variables, some of which are simply beyond our control. In the end, we are unable to guarantee that absolutely all exposure to risk is eliminated through the use of our products.

      Although our warranty does not extend to the Samsung device itself, we would still love to send over a brand-new OtterBox in the event that your current one was also somehow compromised during the incident. Please feel welcome to call our friendly representatives at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll be glad to set up a warranty claim for you!

      Sincerely,
      OtterBox Customer Service Team OtterBox

      Hey Achilles,

      We're sorry to see that this Commuter series cracked under the pressure of keeping your Galaxy Note 8 safe! Our cases are not necessarily designed to be indestructible so much as they are intended to absorb the brunt of any impacts that would otherwise jeopardize your device. As long as the phone is doing okay, we would love to get you back to maximum protection with a brand-new replacement!

      Understanding your grievances towards the shipping and handling fee associated with our warranty program, we would only point out that this is a modest investment to help maintain the security of your device going forward. If you change your mind about the replacement, please feel welcome to call our friendly Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll be more than happy to help out!

      Sincerely,
      OtterBox Customer Service Team otterbox

      Hi Jimmy,

      We're sorry that you're finding the Commuter a little too bulky! We might recommend switching to the Symmetry case, which still offers dynamite security for your Galaxy Note 8, but in a much slimmer style. Check it out by clicking on the link below, and call our experienced Otters at 1-855-688-7269 with any questions or comments!

    The lower part where you plug in the charger broke. The plastic is very thin. It is a piece of junk.

    Protection for certain drops

    This case protects against certain drops. I found out the hard way that it does not protect against ALL drops. My phone dropped and fell on its face. Much to my surprised, the phone cracked badly and requires replacement. This was my second Otterbox after many years (found a slimmer and better case line) and will be my last.
