    We got this phone when we switched carriers and I could not be happier. Great resolution and pairs perfectly with our Samsung TV. No issues with dropped calls or call quality.

    I bought this phone case for my daughter. I personally use an otter Box case for my phone as does my wife and am confident in the protection of our phones using this product.

    I upgraded from a Galaxy S5 which died, by the way, on the day it was paid off. Transition went well. It's noticably faster and much more accurate input with my fat fingers.

    Bought this brand on reputation and past experience. This case does not seem to provide the same kind of protection I am accustomed to but that is just an impression and likely hampered by the curved edge screen design. No real problems in use. The belt clip, however, is a different story. It is not nearly as secure as my last Otterbox Defender and on occasion the phone falls out of the clip. So far not a fan of this "feature". Will give customer service a call and see what they suggest.

    I have used an Otterbox case on my last 5 phones. This one is by far the thinnest and has the feel of being more fitted. I only wish this case came with a screen cover.

    I will only purchase OtterBoxes for my husband's phones. His phone tends to take a bit of abuse due to his career field. As always, the Defender series does not fail to disappoint on protecting the phone. The clip on the case is another thing entirely, we've broken 3 of them...but that could just be my husband's tendency to walk past doorways without giving the phone enough clearance.

    This particular model doesnt come with the built in screen protector, ( you have to expend extra money buying screen protector separtely). Other than that it all seem as good drop protector as always

    It covers the ports, and is well built, snaps into place firmly and easily. Clip holds but I wish it had a little more tension. It does hold, WELL, just a little loose.

    Otterbox Quality, but no screen protector

    Don't know why Otterbox left off the screen protector, but they lost 2 stars from me by doing so. Yes, it's a curved screen. But that's why a built in screen protector is even more important. I bought the Defender case because it always has a screen protector. Yes, in fine print it says "Screenless", but since all my other Defenders had a screen protector, I was expecting one. Really sad that I have to go find one. So be aware this isn't like all prior generations of Defenders. So my phone is protected on the back & sides by a great case, but the front? Not at all.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      Dear VaMom,

      We certainly apologize that you're feeling so let down by the screenless edition of the Galaxy S8 Defender! We intentionally decided to forego the built-in screen protector on this series to allow for full access to the uniquely curved infinity display. Any sort of integrated plastic over the edges of the screen could have caused a lot of hindrance, which was not a frustrating experience that we wanted for our customers. If you're looking for a little extra screen protection, we would suggest our Alpha Glass, which adds a layer of security and applies directly to the screen to provide full functionality. Please feel free to take a look by following the link below, and give our friendly Otters a quick call at 1-855-688-7269 with any further questions or comments. We'll always do what we can to help out!

    I bought this case for my Samsung Galaxy S8. I first tried the generic holster that Verizon sells but didn't like the fact that the phone had to slide out sideways and the seatbelt kept pushing phone out of the holster. Returned the generic holster and bought the Otterbox. I have Otterbox cases on all my electronics and have never been disappointed. Best protection for a pretty amazing but somewhat fragile phone.
