    I saw this case in Best Buy before I had purchased my phone. I love the color, the case is not bulky and easy to put on.

    I've had 2 other Defender cases that I have enjoyed. I wish the one for the Galaxy S8 had a plastic covering for the glass. I guess the new S8 design does not allow for it. I hope the new defender design protects as well as the old ones did.

    I love my Otter Box Defender, but I only have one problem with it. It doesn't have the screen shield built in now and we have to try to find a good one. My last Otter Box was complete and total protection. Don't know why they changed it.

    Wish It Had A Screen Protector, Great Case Though

    Another great case by Otterbox. Did not really look at any other options since we have used Otterbox Defenders on every other smart phone we have owned. Yes they are a bit on the bulky side, but I will take a little extra bulk to know the phone is well protected. I still wish Otterbox would have found a way to come up with a screen protector on the Defender for the Galaxy S8 but I can understand it may have been a difficult design. Aside from the lack of screen protection, you can't go wrong with this case as long as you don't mind the extra bulk.

    This case definitely gets the job done. It's a shame it doesn't have a screen cover but that's to be expected with the curved edge. I've dropped my phone a couple.of times and the case works amazing.

    I just dropped my phone today and nothing happened to it! I love how sleek this styke is compared to the old defenders that are really bulky. Hopefully this case continues to protect my investment!

    I have used three Ottorbox Defender Cases with different phones and no problems with the phone protection. The outer cover has been replaced by Ottorbox with no problem when they shell wore down.

    Since cell phones are so expensive, I've found a tough cover is very important. This one is my fourth one of the Otter box covers and it continues the high quality I have found with Otterbox.

    Great accessory to prevent dropping phones, solid case and easy latching belt clip. Fits well with tempered glass screen protector. Works well with wireless charging, avoids having to use the charging cord if you have a wireless charging pad. I hope to see additional design accessories, i.e phone stand, ring or style, it creates thickness to the phone, but not as thick as other designs. It is a good product overall for those who are accident prone and like the belt clip option instead of the pouch.

    This case is a must have. Within 2 hours of purchasing this case I dropped my brand new Samsung S8 it fell face down and didn't get a scratch. It paid for itself within the first 2 hours.

    Its thick, sturdy, and very durable. It's much more protective than my previous case which was aesthetic but fell off easy. This case ensures the phone body is not cracked or scratched

    Otter box phone cases can be expensive. However, they built to protect the phone with standing rough handling of the phones. I purchased two Otter box's cases and they are wonderful.

    I've had otter box cases in the past that have saved previous phones from total annihilation, and figured i had better get one for this new phone. I won't really know how well it works until I drop it, though.
