    Miss old version of Otter case

    I really liked the older version of Otter case that came with hard plastic case to protect front and back, and a rubber case to wrap the plastic case. This kind - we have to purchase a shield to protect the screen.

      Hey there RGandD,

      Sorry to hear that your Galaxy S8 Defender series isn't quite meeting expectations! While we certainly understand your apprehension at not having the traditional built-in screen protector, we truly feel that our customers will have the best interaction with the curved infinity display through either direct contact or a screen protector that adheres to the touchscreen separately. Therefore, we decided to forego the integrated screen protection and came out with a tempered glass option instead, the link for which you can find below! If you have any additional OtterBox inquiries, please feel welcome to call our Otter team at 1-855-688-7269. We'll always do what we can to help out!

    A bit upset they changed the design so it doesn't have the built in screen protector. I have always gotten otterbox defender for the overall protection it offered. Still good protection and nice it comes with belt clip.

    Bought a new case to replace the one my daughter had on her phone when it was run over. This is an exact replacement for the original. Phone survived being run over

    I used a lifeproof case on my S6 and hated the way it muffled all the sounds. When I upgraded to the S8 I chose this Otter Box and am very pleased with the durability and the sound!

    I grabbed this case for my brand new S8, which has a curved screen. Because of the curved screen, the OtterBox does not have a screen protector. You have to buy that separately. I find this a bit annoying.

    It has a very thin profile, which is great for one hand operation. It doesn't have a screen protector due to the curved screen but there are plenty of screen protection options.

    Had put on the wrap protective cover shield which was guaranteed. Dropped the phone and the shield broke - happened 3 times. They replaced it but decided to use the Otter shield (had one on my previous phone.

    The case covers the phone perfectly. The only thing i would improve are the sides. Sometimes it's hard to slid the apps because it gets in the way of the edge feature on the phone

    It protects everything but the camera glass. I don't even know when or how it got broken. But it's broken. It is not cumbersome if you take off the clip.

    My first Otter box had the belt clip break off. I called Otter box two days later I had a new holster. I like the new Otter box better because it is thinner than the first one.

    I like the design that it protects the corners for my Galaxy 8. However, it makes the phone difficult to remove from my pocket. The belt clip is okay if you want to look loke an engineering or IT nerd.

    Great case, holds up through drops. Does not have a screen protector but I knew that going in and it was not a big deal. I don't use the belt clip so I cannot comment on that .

    I've always trusted in Otter box products yet didn't catch that this didn't include a screen protector. I had to purchase that separate. If you don't care about the screen protection then this is your product

    Like the looks and weight of case. But, it would get caught on seat belt and my phone would fall out without my knowledge. Also would catch on other things. Need to have better way to secure phone in case.
