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.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged).

    For some reason OtterBox has decided to not add screen protectors for the Samsung edge phones. This has led to some issues for me.

    Normally with the defender cases they come with some type of screen protector, (mostly plastic). This one does not have that.

      Hey Amanda!

      We apologize for any confusion caused by our decision to forego the built-in screen protector on the Defender cases for the Galaxy S8 Plus. We sincerely feel that any interaction with the unique touchscreen is best served by either direct contact or use of a tempered glass screen protector. If you feel increasingly worried about the screen being exposed, our magnificent engineers designed an Alpha Glass screen protector, which you can apply to the screen separately. The fortified glass will protect your screen from dust, scratches, and cracks. Please feel welcome to check this out on Best Buy via the link below, and give our representatives a ring at 1-855-688-7269 with any further questions!

      Dear Aprildb25,

      We sincerely apologize about any disappointment caused by our screenless Defender design for the Galaxy S8+! We intentionally did not include a built-in screen protector with this series in order to allow customers full access to the uniquely curved infinity screen. We're glad to hear that you found another option that works better for you, but we're sad to see you go! If you have any additional OtterBox questions, please don't hesitate to call our friendly Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll be thrilled to help out!

      Warmly,
      OtterBox Customer Service Team otterbox

    This is a very good protective case for your cell phone but the only one negative I have is a fact that it doesn't come in other colors than the gray.
