Pretty Good Case
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Definitely a beefy case, it adds enough size to allow the phone top be held without touching the sides of the screen. The only thing that's annoying is the size of the hole for the charge/sync cable it needed to be a bit narrower so you could plug the cable in easier, I constantly find myself not being able to plug it in while it's docked in my car.
I would recommend this to a friend- Pros mentioned:Case quality

I would recommend this to a friend Protection for your phone
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Every cell phone I've had has had an otterbox defender series case. I don't have to worry about it at work or when grandkids are playing games on it. I work in machine shop and when my boss took his phone and threw it down the aisle at work that's when I got turned on to them and have bought nothing else

Posted .Hey there SoM216,
We certainly apologize about any confusion surrounding the Galaxy S8 Defender series and it's compatibility with wireless charging. The case itself has proven to work seamlessly with all standard Samsung wireless chargers, provided that they are in the flat configuration. If this still is not working for you, please don't hesitate to ring up our Otter experts at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll help troubleshoot this issue!
Happy Holidays,
OtterBox Customer Service Team
Protective enough
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not a fan of the “screenless technology”. That’s what set it apart from the commuter series.

Posted .Hey there Robtulsa,
We apologize that the Galaxy S8 Defender isn't fulfilling all of your case wishes! We specifically designed this Defender series to offer full access to the uniquely curved screen edges, which meant doing without the built-in screen protector. However, we do carry the Alpha Glass screen protector, which will pair perfectly with your Defender case! Please feel welcome to take a look by following the link below, and call our helpful Otters at 1-855-688-7269 with any further inquiries!

Returned
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought the case but it does not have a screen protector like the previous models. Had to return it because it didn't work with the zagg screen protector I bought. Not otterbox fault on that one, so really can't give a review. It's a bit bulky due to more protection to the phone.

Very satisfied
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very sturdy, well pleased, case offers excellent protection.
I would recommend this to a friend Very nice case.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Case feels durable, covers everything that it can cover without getting in the way, and much sleeker than older otterbox cases. I love the dual color case and the fact that it doesn't have a screen built into it, as I usually pull those off anyway and use a different protector for the screen.
