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.

    It's a solid case .. OtterBox obviously adheres to the same design philosophy. No screen protector with this case... It would be a disaster on a curved screen; glad it was removed. If you use a Dex dock, plan on taking your case apart every time you dock your phone.... I suspect this is the same with all cases.

    This is the first OtterBox - Defender Series Case for Samsung Galaxy I've ever owned out of the 4 new Samsung Galaxy Phones I have purchased. I have always used a different type of case thinking that the OtterBox was mainly for men to use. I feel that my phone is so much better protected using this type of case.

    Although I thought it was pricy, I was really impressed with my 1st Otterbox case. But before I bought my 2nd one I had read some not-so-good reviews. I decided to make the next purchase and am REALLY glad I did. I'm impressed AGAIN with the quality... just wish they would continue to supply the screen protector.

    At first I thought I would not like this Otterbox Defender case because it didn't have a screen protector, but the way they designed this it's actually not that necessary. I did however buy a Zagg invisible shield for it but not the glass one because they're terrible and come off easily on the curved screen phones.

    I was a little intimidated with the price of this product. But as soon as I put it on my very expensive phone, I realized how good an investment it really is. I accidentally dropped a drill motor on the phone and it was not damaged at all. WOW!! I'd recommend to anyone looking to protect their phone from damage.

    I’ve always wanted an OtterBox for my phone so when this one was on sale, I grabbed it! I absolutely love it and it provides phenomenal protection for my phone. I tend to be one who drops my phone and this one has kept my new phone from getting damaged. Love it and would highly recommend it to anyone.

    The box indicates that the product has great protection. I haven't dropped my phone yet with the case on but it seems very durable. The only con is that it makes the S-8+ even more bulky. Glad that it came with a clip but wish it would have had a screen protector as well. I would recommend this product to anyone.

      Hi TiGi!

      Thanks for being such a fan of the Defender for the Galaxy S8 Plus! True, the case can be a little bulkier than a standard case, but the extra layers ensure maximum protection for your new phone. Regardless, we understand that you're hesitant about the screen being exposed, which is why our engineers designed the Alpha Glass screen protector that you can apply separately! The fortified glass is specifically built to act as an additional cover for your phone screen, just in case. Feel free to take a look by following the link below, and give our support team a call at 1-855-688-7269 with any further queries!

      Hi again Ksmkjm,

      We're sorry to hear that you're also feeling so let down by the screenless edition of the Galaxy S8+ Defender! We intentionally decided to forego the built-in screen protector on this series to allow for full access with the uniquely curved infinity display. Should you run into any further OtterBox questions, our awesome support team is just a call away at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll hook you up with some answers!

      Cheers,
      OtterBox Customer Service Team otterbox

    I've my case for a year. There is a lip to protect the screen. No screen protector needed. No chips, cracks, breaks, no anything! Worth the price. I just wish there were more colors and designs. All in all the important partis my phone is still in great condition and is protected to this day.

      Hi James,

      We truly apologize about any disappointment caused by our screenless Defender case, however slight it may be. We took a different approach to this Defender series in order to provide the ultimate experience with the exclusive infinity display. In order to offer full access to the curved screen edges, we decided to forego the built-in screen protector. Otherwise, we're glad to hear that the case is working well for you! If you have any additional questions or comments, our wonderful Otters will be glad to assist you at 1-855-688-7269!

      Warmly,
      OtterBox Customer Service Team otterbox

    I have used Otterbox cases for my last 6 phones and swore by them. This is the NEW screenless edition. There is no protection for the screen on the S8+. Same price for less of a product. Was able to get a better product with built in screen protection for a third of the price. No more Otterbox cases for me.

      Hey JoeT,

      We sincerely apologize about any disappointment caused by our screenless Defender for the Galaxy S8+! We intentionally decided to forego a built-in screen protector with this series because we predicted a bit of hindrance resulting from any integrated protection over the uniquely curved display. We wanted customers to have full access and the best interaction possible with the infinity glass, so we left out the screen protector and engineered the Alpha Glass product instead, which applies directly to the screen. If you have any further questions, please feel welcome to call our friendly Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll do what they can to help!

      Regards,
      OtterBox Customer Service Team otterbox
