    This case doesn't stay tight to the phone for long. It gets stretched out easily!

      Hey JustMe,

      Here at OtterBox, we're not a huge fan of "stretching out," especially if it involves our cases or our favorite sweater. We apologize that this is happening! Please keep in mind that we are always happy to replace any damaged products under our warranty, including pieces that have started to swell. Just give our friendly representatives a ring at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll be glad to assist!

      Hi Rigid,

      Yikes, two Defender cases that don't fit one Galaxy S8?! That is definitely a mystery, and we so apologize that neither one has worked out for you. Don't worry - our Otter detectives are on the case (pun intended)! Just ring them up at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll crack the code to solve this conundrum!

    I bought a new phone last year and decided to get an otterbox because of the great reputation. I rarely drop my phone and never on concrete but the plastic shell broke within a year. The rubber outer shell has held up but still, overall poor quality for such a leader in their industry.

      Dear Claudia,

      We're very sorry to see that your sound quality seems to be hindered by the Defender series!

Please don't hesitate to ring them up at 1-855-688-7269 so that they can solve this mystery and get you cruising towards crystal clear phone calls once more!

      Hey Jase!

      We apologize about any confusion we created with our new screenless Defender design for the Galaxy S8. We sincerely feel that the interaction with the uniquely curved screen is best served by either direct contact with the glass or use of our separate Alpha Glass screen protector. If you have any additional OtterBox questions, please feel free to give our awesome Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269!

      Hi Rizzo,

      We sincerely apologize about any confusion caused by our screenless approach to the Galaxy S8 Defender series! We deliberately decided to forego the traditional screen protector in order to provide full, uninterrupted access to the uniquely curved infinity display. If you have any additional questions about this, please feel welcome to call our wonderful Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll be delighted to help you out!

      Hi Jayjay,

      We are sorry that the side control buttons on this Defender case were being difficult. This is not at all typical and we wish that you would have contacted us so that we could have helped out. We truly hope that this one unfortunate experience does not discourage you from considering our products in the future.

      If you ever have any OtterBox questions please feel free to give us a call at 1-855-688-7269 . We are happy to help!

      Hey there g843,

      We're so sorry to hear that your belt clip holster is slightly uncomfortable! There should be a way to turn the holster around to a horizontal position - that way, the holster goes sideways and stays out of the way of any ribs! If you need any assistance with this or have any additional questions, please feel welcome to ring up our awesome Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll be glad to help!
