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.

    I have the defender case since the Iphone 4, through the Samsung Note series. You spend as much on half of a case as you would for a full case for another phone. In order to protect the glass you have to buy a seperate almost equally expensive piece to covered the curved glass.

      Hey there TechGuy,

      Sorry to hear that you're feeling disappointed by the screenless design for the Galaxy Note 8 Defender. We certainly understand your apprehension based on price, and we think that the cost of the case is well worth the maximum protection, outstanding customer service, and limited lifetime warranty that come along with all of our products. Should you run into any further OtterBox questions, just ring up our awesome Otters at 1-855-688-7269. We're glad to help!

      Best,
      OtterBox Customer Service Team otterbox

    I have only ever bought Otterbox cases for my phones and tablets. They are hands down the BEST case and their warranty is amazing. This is a backup case and I’m awaiting my replacement from OtterBox. Best case on the market.

      Hey Nick,

      We're sorry to see that you're not falling totally in love with the screenless version of the Defender series! We deliberately resolved to do away with the traditional built-in screen protector on this case in order to offer full, uninterrupted access to the curved infinity display.

      It also sounds like you've experienced some sort of mishap with the Alpha Glass screen protector. Please feel welcome to call our friendly Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll be happy to help you out with a quick warranty claim!

      Sincerely,
      OtterBox Customer Service Team otterbox

    For many year, dropping my phone is a problem since I don't place case. Then I finally decided to place casing on my new phone. And I feel confident on it now. I dropped my phone but no scratches or any visible marks on the casing.

    The previous model hinges on the bottom are reversed and close onto the body of the cover not the narrow strip tat the bottom. Simple and common sense redesign. The new design also accommodated the curved screed,

    You cannot go wrong with Otterbox. The defender case is extremely solid and took the hit when my Note 8 flew out of my SUV (kids). Only downside is the rubber gets stained fairly easily and isn't easily clean able
