Customers are saying

Customers express satisfaction with the Defender Series Case's excellent protection and comfortable fit, also praising its ease of use and the grippy texture. However, some customers note that the case adds bulk to the phone and may interfere with wireless charging. The lack of a built-in screen protector is also a frequently mentioned drawback.

    This Defender series otterbox does a great job of protecting my new Samsung S8+ phone. The only reserve I have is, it requires an additional screen protector.

    We have used otter box for years. They are great! My husband can be rough with his phones and they have always held up well. We made the mistake of buying a lifeproof case a couple years ago and were sorry we did. We immediately switched back to otter box. He dropped his phone in the parking lot at work once and when he realized it he went to find it and it had been run over by a car. There was a small scratch on his otter box, but his phone was in perfect condition.

      Hi Pope,

      We appreciate your feedback! We are sorry that the Defender case is a bit too bulky for your comfort level. Perhaps you would be more interested in our Commuter or Symmetry style case as they are both slimmer than the Defender. Check out the links below for more information on those OtterBox products.

    I have alway's used OtterBox Defender series on my phones and tablet's and this case is the most expensive phone case to date and the first not to have a screen protector. If I get less protection why should it cost more? For the money they should have included their new screen protector that they sell separately and again overpriced as well. The case is also not made as well as the case on my Samsung S5. I have found many people complaining that the buttons are harder to press than on the older cases, this is due to the bottons on the slipcover are the same size as the holes in the shell not allowing for free movement. This can be easily resolved by using a file on the button holes in the shell to make slightly larger, thus allowing the rubber button extenders on the slipcover to move freely. To the people at OtterBox, putting Screenless on the box as if it is a benefit and charging more is just a Dick move!

    Case offers optimum protection aside from the curved screen. Belt clip use is why I chose this case option.

    Great protection for valuable phones. I alternate between this for daily use and the flip case for when I want something a bit sleeker.

    Always start out with the otterbix for protection. Did the price match at BB, they have crazy high prices in store.Somewhat bulky but it does protect.

    Otter box did an excellent job with this case considering the curved edges of the phone. They also did away with the plastic built in screen protector.

    I had a Samsung Note 4. I really like it and like every upgrade I hate getting used to the new upgrades on the operating system. This was an easy transition. The screen is not that much smaller than my note 4 and is brighter and easier to see.

    I've had this case for over three weeks now and haven't had any major complaints. One downfall is how big the backing to the case is considering the phone is so thin I was hoping to keep that feeling but with protection comes the bulkieness
