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.

    I've already dropped my phone a few times... Otter cases are simply the best protection you can get, in my opinion. I had one on my S6, and for 2 years, it kept that intact through MANY phone misadventures... This new design also helps protect the curved edges, by turning up at the ends.

    Defender series have always included screen protection so having a model without it makes me wonder why choose this over the Commuter. Anyways, is a pretty good case and has more padding than the Commuter so there is that. Its awesome how it does not interfere with the edged screen, my previous full cover case made it really uncomfortable to use edge functions.

      Hey EONE,

      We apologize that you're feeling disheartened by the new screenless design for the Galaxy S8+ Defender. We intentionally decided to forego the built-in screen protector on this version of the Defender because we wanted to offer our customers full access to the uniquely curved infinity display, and expected some hindrance from any integrated protection. That being said, the Defender still provides quality, tested security and will always be a very protective unit. If you're still looking for a little added protection, we do carry the Alpha Glass screen protector, which will pair perfectly with your Defender. Please feel free to take a look at the link below, and give our Otter team a quick call at 1-855-688-7269 with any further inquiries!

    I got this case to replace one that had previously broken. It is a good case, it's sturdy, not bulky. I like that the charging port and aux port are covered. You are able to easily use all the buttons on the phone. And the price was just right. I got it on sale for $24.

    I can honestly say I feel my phone is safe and sound now. The case is beefy. It fits snugly and works with my screen protector film. The only drawback I can see with this case is that since it is so thick, its much more difficult to use the fingerprint reader. They do recommend retraining it, and I have done so. Not sure it helped.

    This is a great case to protect an expensive phone. The problem I had was, the phone will not charge wirelessly in this case. I believe the case is too thick, so for that reason I returned it. If you are not using wireless charge it will protect your phone

    I would say that this is more of a pink than a purple. I think royal purple when I think purple, this is lighter and much more pink.

    While his case offers excellent protection capabilities, it goes without saying that it really bulks up the phone, the edge to edge is far less noticeable with a huge brick of a case on the phone. With that said. I'd rather have the phone protected than broken. Case stays on.
