    I've never used otter box as I thought they were bulky, but appears that it has scaled backed the bulkiness, but kept the safety features

    I am still learning this phone. One difference between this phone an the 4S is that the 4S seemed to have a longer BT range than the Galaxy 8.

    I am very hard on phones and usually destroy a phone a year. Since I started using the Otter Box it now takes about 2 years to destroy a phone.

    I never likes the OtterBox cases because I thought they were to thick but this new one for my S8 is great. It's thinner than the older models.

    The case itself is OK the retention on the belt clip is far from what I expected compared to older model otter boxes Also not a fan of the screenless design of the case

      Hi Stevo!

      Sorry to hear that the Galaxy S8 Defender series isn't quite meeting expectations! What exactly about the belt clip is giving you pause? Our friendly Otters would love to take a peek to see if they can help, so please feel free to give them a ring at 1-855-688-7269. They'll resolve this issue and even send out a warranty replacement, if necessary.

      As for the screenless design, we intentionally decided to forego the traditional built-in screen protector in order to provide full access to the uniquely curved display on the Galaxy S8. If your heart is set on screen protection, we would recommend the Alpha Glass screen protector, which applies separately to the screen and is engineered to work seamlessly with OtterBox cases. Feel free to check it out by following the link below, and reach out to us if you have any further inquiries!

    Works great! I have dropped twice already! Once at work(cement), and once at home(ceramic tile) where it took several bounces! NOT A SCRATCH!

    Very well built case for the phone it is the back up to my soon coming lifeproof case. I am hoping it feels as sturdy. But screen protector comes off with this case as well.

    I had the Otterbox Defender for the Galaxy S6 edge and had no problems. The clip for the Galaxy S8 lets go of the phone every now and then. So far no damage, but...

    I was a little nervous about not having a screen protector but haven't run into an issue yet. Sturdy case with relatively slim design.

    Good case, seems as though it would protect the phone from most damage in a drop. Leaves screen relatively unprotected.

      Hey Thxzz,

      It's great to hear that this Defender series is ready to keep your Galaxy S8 safe on the streets! We apologize that you're feeling a little apprehension towards the screenless style. The case was intentionally designed that way in order to give you full access to the rounded infinity display. If you're looking for a little extra peace of mind, we would suggest our Alpha Glass screen protector, which will pair perfectly with that Defender. Feel free to check it out via the link below, and if you have any additional questions, our Otter experts are just a call away at 1-855-688-7269!
