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 like this case because it has a nice texture than you can get a hold of. My hands tend to be dry and I need the rough edges. It looks nice and is sturdy. Use a Invisible Shield by Zagg for a screen protector and it works great with the case.

    My husband & I have yet to break a phone while it's been in an Otterbox case. We've broken cases by dropping them too many times but the phones still function properly and look great. Only negitive is the outside rubber part of the case fades over time.

    So far, so good with my S8+. After the debacle last year, of course I was a bit hesitant to buy a Galaxy. But their big curved and beautiful screen sold me! Great salesman, and easy experience getting the phone. Will buy all my phones here from now on!

    My husband got this with his new phone. We were hit with a $150 fee because the back of his case on his last phone was cracked This case is strong and came with a belt holster. This means no pockets which will lessen the chance of breakage.

    Was the only swivel holster for Samsung S8+ in stock. It was large and bulky on my belt. Found the buttons on the case to be clunky. Did not like the release tab on the belt clip. I'm sure it provides good protection for the phone, just too big for me.

      Hey RobS,

      We're so sorry to hear that the Defender case was a little too bulky for your comfort level! We try our best to streamline our case designs as much as possible, but sometimes the extra layers are worth the exceptional protection that they provide. Although our other cases do not have added belt clips, we would still recommend taking a look at either the Commuter or the Symmetry cases, which still offer superior protection, just in slimmer designs! You'll find the links for both below, so feel free to check them out, and give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269 with any questions!

    Got a great deal on this case. Can tell just with the feel of it that it's a lot better quality than most of the other cases out there. It's definitely a lot better quality than my last otterbox for my Note 2. This is worth the extra money

    I have used the defender on a few previous phones.Have always done great. Plenty of drops n phone looks brand new underneath. The new curved screen changed the otter box. No longer has screen cover. First drop w my galaxy S8 landed on screen...cracked

      Hey there Sbandit90,

      Our apologies that you're feeling disappointed in the screenless design for the Galaxy S8+ Defender! While a screenless style is new territory for our Defender series, this allows customers full access to the uniquely curved infinity display and provides the best possible interaction with the device. If you have any additional OtterBox inquiries, please feel free to call our amazing Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll be glad to further assist you!

      Best,
      OtterBox Customer Service Team otterbox

    I always use the otterbox defender cases on my phones because they are the toughest I have found and I have put them to the test of life happens I lost one phone in a otterbox and found it the next day after it had been ran over by heavy equipment and pushed up in a pile of dirt and the phone was unharmed
