    Charger flap opens opposite to the Samsung case I had for my Samsung galaxy 3. Makes it a little more difficult to plug in.

    No built in screen protector Otter Box is known for. I guess due to S8 beveled screen design. It's still the best case I know of.

    This appears to be the best case for this phone. None of them are great because of the silly curved screen.

    For whatever reason, otterbox stopped including a built-in screen protector. I prefer the ones with a screen protector.

    The only problem up to now is that the edges pick up the screen protector, even after waiting 24 hours to installing protective case.

      If you are using our screen protector and this issue persists, please feel free to give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269. We will gladly assist in any way that we can!

      Tired of sacrificing maximum protection for a sleeker style? Worry no more - the Symmetry series is the case for you!

Please feel welcome to take a peek at the Symmetry by following the link below, and give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269 with any questions that pop up!

    Like the case, I can carry the phone in my pocket or clip on my belt. When driving, I clip the phone on the ash tray for easy access.
