    Otterbox holster just okayso far

    I used a much cheaper holster for my S7 which I found much easier to use in removing the phone from and re-holstering. I'm sure it provided less protection but... I have a lot of difficulty getting the S8 out of the defender when sitting and it's nearly impossible to re-holster while sitting. In fairness, it's new to me so I'll give it a bit more time before I go back the the cheaper option similar to that used for my S7. I'm giving it 4 stars because the issues nay be just mine (need to become accustomed to doing things differently).

    This case includes a rubbery shell over a plastic case. Looks like good impact protection against a flat surface. Thin enough to fit my pocket. Easy install. It has covers for the USB and earphone jacks to keep out dust, lint, and debris which I think is a good thing. There is also a belt clip which I haven't used.

    Full Protection

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This case is a very good full body full protection case. It has an inner hard plastic shell which will definitely give it shock absorption and it goes all the way around your device. Then there is a rubber soft shell that surrounds the whole casing which will provide additional shock absorption. Something to note is that if you move the rubber shell around too much that it will warp and loosen on you where you will lose the ability to put the rubber shell onto the hard plastic shell which makes the product less durable over time.

    Not the OtterBox I'm used to

    Owned two OtterBox Defender cases for my GS5 and they worked great. The one for my GS8? Not so much. The phone never seems to settle into the holster/clip correctly and I have to fight it three or four times until it snaps in place. Wish it came with the screen protector built in like the GS5 has. With the notoriety that the GS8 has for breaking a screen when you look at it wrong, would've been nice to have the added security.

      Hey there Sparkomatic,

      Sorry to see that this Galaxy S8 Defender is not meeting the expectations set by your previous models! We do normally recommend setting the phone in the belt clip with the screen facing out, as this orientation has proven to work better for the Galaxy S8 series. Additionally, if you are still looking for a little extra screen security, we would recommend our Alpha Glass screen protector, which adds some fortified glass to the equation. Take a look by following the link below, and if you have questions, just give our wonderful Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269! We're always happy to help!
