I have never been big on the OtterBox cases in the past, it was just too much case for the size of phones for me. Since the Note 8 is mostly screen, the case doesn't seem as cumbersome. The case is comfortable to hold and feels very solid. It doesn't have the built in screen protector, but I like to use glass anyway.
This case works with "case friendly" glass screen protectors. I actually put the case on and used the opening to line up the glass when installing. Worked out well.

This is a must have for your note 8,it bulks up your phone a little but it keeps your phone protected, pair it with zagg glass shield, and you have 100% protection, definitely pay the $8 to have the geek squad install your glass shield ,it's tricky not to get any bubbles or lint trapped underneath,It didn't affect my touch sensitivity, awesome combo for your note 8 or any galaxy phone

As always, these cases provide excellent protection for your device. Good fit on the Note 8. My S7 case started peeling after a few months - I hope that was an isolated incident.

This is a very good cell phone protector. It is a bit bulky and adds weight to your phone, but probably the best protection for someone who seems to drop their phone often.

If you have used Otterbox already then you understand why this is the 4th one I have purchased. It is very tough and dependable. Each one is fit for each phone so you have to buy a new one each time you upgrade your phone. The case is soft rubber to the feel but still provides exceptional protection against drops and slips. I like the dual purpose belt loop clip which allows you to prop up your phone for horizontal or vertical viewing.

I have owned one for a Galaxy Note 4 for nearly three years. After a while, most of the edge fasteners broke off of the inner plastic case, but the outer soft case still held it together without a problem. Also the belt clip on the holster broke but I repaired it with super glue. Dropped the phone numerous times with no damage at all. As the case for the Note 8 is the same design, I expect the same great protection from it.

This case fits perfectly and feels really comfortable holding. Does a good job protecting the phone if dropped and keep the dust out of the phone.
