Customers are saying

Customers are enthusiastic about the Defender Series Case's great protection and snug fit for their Samsung Galaxy Note8. Many appreciate its ease of use and the added grip it provides, while some also find the included belt clip convenient. However, a significant number of customers point out the lack of a built-in screen protector and some concerns regarding bulkiness and price.

      Dear Misha,

      We sincerely apologize about any confusion surrounding the Galaxy Note 8 Defender series and compatible screen protection! Unfortunately, we are unable to test our products with third-party accessories, and while there are probably other screen protectors that might fit, we cannot 100% guarantee a perfect fit with any screen protector other than our own Alpha Glass. The Alpha Glass is cut specifically to fit with the Defender series case, and you can check it out by following the link below! Please feel free to call our Otter experts at 1-855-688-7269 with any further questions or comments!

    This is the strongest protection for a phone that I have seen or owned, similar to all around protection i use for my tablet. Although I am careful with my phone I do drop it occasionally and it should be just fine protecting this phone

    Long time user of otterbox. Fantastic products. I always tell friends and family, if you are going to pay that much for a phone, you need to pay that much for a case to protect it. It's not gorgeous looking but does the job.

    This protector does the job. It can be challenging to pay the extra and get a less stylish cover but the protection makes it worth it when purchasing an expensive phone! It works! Just wish they had more stylish options!

    This is the second case I have had on my phone in just under a year. My last one was smaller, thinner, and a different brand. I could instantly tell this case was made better and would hold up longer than my last one.

    This case is protective. I don't know why otterbox decided to forego the screen protector with this case but they're able to make curved screen protectors (see the S7 Edge) but there are slight lips on the case that will protect the screen of the phone from a face down drop. All in all, it's a dependable and durable case.

    Comes with plastic frame that holds the phkne and then a rubber skin covered that. Comes with belt clip that can latch to front or the back of the phone. Clip can be locked to create kickstand. My only dislike is that it does somewhat hinder my wireless charging pad but if placed just right it still charges fine.

    I put this case on, since a different brand allowed my phone to crack the FIRST time I dropped it, and with a fixed screen and new case my screw has remained protected even after many drops, thanks to my toddler !!

    My last 2 phones have been protected by Otterbox and Im never going to change. My work is constantly putting my phone at risk with falls/drops from many heights and Otterbox has performed better than expected
