    This is a typical Otterbox Defender in terms of protective value. It's slimmer than previous versions which is a good thing. Still protective though. The problem for some people is that they did away with the built in plastic screen protector. I actually see it as a plus because I prefer the tempered glass protectors. You have to pay extra though, do so dropped a star. Maybe they should include one.

    While providing great protection, it is somewhat bulky and awkward to use on my belt.

    Don't need the clip, and it is a bit bulky... but provides the protection I need.

    Good solid case. Front of the case is raised so your screen is protected if you set it face down. I rarely use the holster part

    I love this Otter Box Defender case for my new cell phone. The included holster adds additional protection for the screen, and can be attached to the case to use as a clip onto my belt. The case itself is quite durable, and should profide sufficient protection; and the case does not detract from the attractiveness of the GS8 phone.

    I have always used Otterbox Defender cases for every cellphone I have owned. This case however, does not have the screen protection built in as other models I have owned. I know there's a curved screen, but I was sure they could have come up with something. I was relegated to buying a screen protector film, which was supposed to be case friendly, but mot really the inner ring of the Otterbox winds up peeling up the corners at the bottom. Disappointed to say the least...

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      Hey Lectroman,

      We so apologize that you're feeling disheartened by the screenless design for the Galaxy S8 Defender! We truly believe that our customers will have the best interaction with the beautifully curved display via either direct contact or use of a separate glass screen protector. Since we are unable to test our products with third party accessories, we can only guarantee 100% compatibility with our Alpha Glass, which should pair perfectly with your Defender. If the screen protector you're referring to is, in fact, the Alpha Glass, it should be working seamlessly. Regardless, our helpful Otters would love to grab more details about the situation, so please feel welcome to call them up at 1-855-688-7269. They'll get to the bottom of this and find a solution with ease and haste!

      Sincerely,
      OtterBox Customer Service Team otterbox

    Provides good protection for a Samsung S8 and a useful way for a guy to carry his phone. However, it requires extremely careful installation when used with the alpha glass screen protector. The alpha glass must be exactly centered and applied, and the case must be snapped together gently or it will get under the alpha glass and lift it.

    Phone well protected & that's a very good thing as it seems the phone falls out of the belt holster all too often. Holster catches clothes and/or phone doesn't fully engage the holsters catch/clip ... either way the phone drops out unexpectedly. Granted it is my fault for sometimes not being careful enough but the catch/clip is a bit too small or something also.

    Only use defender, works great to protect from drops only problem is clip part always breaks after a while and have to order new back piece/clip part ones. Used lifeproof before but with curved screens it doesnt sit right and big bubble wouldnt go away so went eith defender case. No screen protection but hasnt been a problem.
