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.

    Looked at a few cases they had at the phone store and ended up buying the OtterBox. Have had the phone for about 3 weeks and already dropped it 4-5 times already and you'd never be able to tell. Can still use the phone's functions, doe snt interrupt the curved screen or the dinner print scanner on the back! Love this product.

    After having a few phones break despite purchasing other so called "shatter proof", tempered protected, etc.. this so far has been a great protector for my phone. Also, it works great with my wireless charger as i thought at first it was not going to work, but it actually did and charged like normal with the case on.

    I love Otter Box anyway and this case did not disappoint. It is not as bulky as the older ones and the only thing I was concerned about was the lack of screen protection like the older cases. I put a screen protector on that is made to work with a case and I am totally happy and sure my phone is protected.

      Hi Johnny,

      It's exciting to hear that your Galaxy S8+ feels safe and guarded within the Defender series case! True, the case is not the easiest to install and re-install, mainly because we don't want it just randomly popping off every time your device takes a spill. If you ever need any application assistance, please don't hesitate to call our expert Otters at 1-855-688-7269. They're pros and are always happy to help!

      Sincerely,
      OtterBox Customer Service Team otterbox

    My second Otter Box defender had one for my Note 4 (now have an s8+)....this version has a smaller profile, making it easier to operate with one hand use (i realize the note 4 is larger device...butnot by much) as well as to get in and out of my pocket, while offering same level of protection (So far...using for 2 weeks)

    Otter Box Defender is amazing. I didn't have my new Samsung phone even 24 hours when I dropped it on the concrete steps on my way out of the building. The phone was in the Otter Box and face-in to hard plastic holster at the time. The phone survived the fall undamaged. I'm a fan! Thanks, Otter Box!

    Always use these to protect our smart phones. I was hesitant to upgrade to a phone with a contoured screen in part because I didn't think a case would be offered that would provide adequate protection without infringing on functionality. This satisfies our requirements and the wife was delighted to discover a purple one.

      Hey there Ifixitgenie,

      We're ecstatic to hear that the Defender is performing magnificently, and we apologize that you're having trouble finding a screen protector that fits perfectly. Unfortunately, we are unable to test our products with third party accessories, so we can only guarantee compatibility with our Alpha Glass screen protector. Feel welcome to check it out right here on Best Buy via the link below, and please call our expert Otters at 1-855-688-7269 with any questions!

    The build quality is good but not having the screen protector really makes me mad. That is one of the biggest reasons I have stuck with them all these years. And to top it all off, they still did not lower the price for less material. I still purchased as was using gift cards but if was my own $$, would have went elsewhere.

    I've always had a case like this on my touchscreen phones and it's always stood up to drops and never harmed the phone. It's big so you may have trouble fitting the phone in a pocket...but the phone is big anyway so that may not be a concern. It does come with a belt clip which is great if you don't have a pocket free.
