    My wife likes the case and as she says. "nothings broken"! We've only had it about 3 weeks, but so far she is happy with it. The plum color helps it stand out and easy to spot. Only reason I gave 4 stars is because she hasn't had it long enough to test it with a drop.... No complaints and it may deserve 5 stars

    I've had an otter box defender for my old phone which perfectly protected my phone for years. Many drops on all surfaces and never a cracked screen or any concern. It's like insurance for your phone... great protection, so worth the money. I won't buy any other brand.

    I was skeptical at first since this does not come with the screen protector like every other otter box defender, but I have had no issues with it. The edges come up high enough on the sides making it difficult to hit the screen during a drop. Better than nothing!

    I have seen several phone cases in the last few years, the one and ONLY is the OTTER BOX. Protect your phone against damage. Nothing compares. I fee like I can drop it and nothing will happen. I had one before for about 5 years, my phone was in excellent condish!!

    After viewing what one drop could do to a these newer very expensive smartphones and how much I use my phone this is a small price to pay for protection. I used OtterBox cases before on my older smartphone and tablet and they still looks new. (out of the cases)

    Amazon had this case for half the price. Best buy price matched them! Was expecting this case to be thicker than it was. However, it did not add more bulk to my phone. I found myself using the belt clip more often than not. When I pull this phone out of my pocket, wether it's with basketball shorts, jeans, swim shorts etc, my pocket tends to come with the phone because of the case. Not a deal breaker, just a little annoying. Not sure how drop protection is because I'm not going to drop my phone in hopes it doesn't crack on purpose, but with how hefty this case is, I think it will be very good.

    I've owned OtterBox phone cases for previous cell phones and have been so satisfied with them I never really considered a different brand when I purchased my new S8. The case is sturdy, fits my hands well and the colors compliment that of my phone cover.

    The S8 is so small that i love having this cover on it just so it doesn't feel so small and vulnerable. I have dropped this phone a lot and this case is really indestructable. It protects the screen if you drop it. I would recommend for its durability.

    Case definitely defends Galaxy S8 phone, yet if work outside beware. The change of temps and terrain make the extra wear of the case take a beating. Wore out the entire backing when a bubble developed in the back of the case which became shaving like material that just started falling off.

    Provides excellent protection for my phone

    As a long time fan of Otterbox cases, I didn't even look for alternatives when I purchased my new Galaxy S8. The protective case is excellent and has already protected my phone from a couple of drops. The case allows good access to the curved edge of the phone screen. The belt clip seems solid and holds firmly. However, I'm not thrilled with the side load (instead of top load) on the holster. It's really awkward to remove and replace the phone in the holster. Plus it's way too easy to accidently not completely lock the phone back in, thus the couple of times the phone dropped. So, I'm giving this one 4 stars instead of 5 due to the awkward side load holster.

    I purchased this for my Dad's new phone when he got it. I had a case like this for my phone and I really liked the protection it offered to the phone. I knew we needed a good case for his phone and there was no question of which kind to get him!

    I had the Otterbox Defender on my last two phones with great success, so I immediately put one on my new Galaxy S8. Don't think I would own a phone without an Otterbox case. Provides great protection from the accidents of everyday life.

    The OtterBox is a great device, for protecting my new Samsung phone. It fits like a glove, and is so light weight! Best choice I could have made.

    Otter Box cases are among the best on the market, and this one is true to form. Build quality, fit, and finish are top-notch. However, I prefer to carry my phone in my top shirt pocket, and this case is a little too bulky for that.
