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.

    Looks rugged enough. The clip-on is useful to protect the screen from scratches. I bought this on sale; otherwise, I would consider the price too expensive for what you get.

      Hey Mike!

      We're happy to hear that your Galaxy S8 Plus feels safe and secure in our Defender case, but at the same time, we want you to have full functionality of the phone and basic accessories as well. We do test the cases for Samsung devices to make sure that they will still work with that awesome wireless charging feature, so it should be compatible. We would love to help you troubleshoot the issue, so please feel welcome to call our helpful Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll find a solution!

      Regards,
      OtterBox Customer Service Team otterbox

    The Otterbox Defender IMO is the best case on the market for someone who carries their phone with a holster. Solid protection against drops as well as dirt and dust.

    I recently upgraded my S7 Edge to the S8 Edge Plus, and my Oculus head set to accommodate the USB C connector. Display is great, and ran cool the whole time.

    Had otter box for all my previous cellphones and they have never let me down. Wish there was a screen protector that fit while I had my case on my device.

    Phone and transition were easy. Apps were cumbersome in transition as some have changed and become more cumbersome to use with more marketing added to the process.

    I've used Otter Box Defender for several years with Samsung Galexy phones 4 thru 8. The main issue I have is the clip breaks often, the plastic used could be stronger, I have replaced several clips over the years.

    I love everything about this phone! I gave 4 stars ONLY because there is nowhere in the settings to calibrate the touch screen, and mine seems to be off a bit. Otherwise, this is by far the best phone i have had

    This cover not only protects the phone from drops but also protects the camera when you lay the phone down as the camera is flush with the phone back cover.

    I went through many cases for my last phone the Samsung 5 and so far this case has been great. Otter cases are usually bulky but this design is much better.

    As always the Otter box defender series is are well built cases for those who don't mind it's bulky size. My only problem with this case it's that it does not come with a screen protector built-in for the S8+.

    I have used OtterBox on my last three phones and have had the piece of mind of not worrying about damage. I have dropped before and nothing happened at all.

    This is a pretty good case. Not too bulky had a sleek look without that old other ox look., and clip fits both front and back of phone.. Good buy.

    Some cases make the buttons unresponsive. This case has everything well placed so all the buttons are easy to use. Plus I love having a holster!
