Many appreciate the case's durable build and secure grip, while some find the bulk and price to be drawbacks. A common complaint is the lack of a built-in screen protector.

    It's a sturdy case. I have dropped it yet but seems like it would protect my phone well.

    Sure, it'll protect your phone for good...but it might keep you from using your phone as well...hahaha... I had to change this case within 2 days...it was too bulky for me, although it was safe and secure. I'd prefer the clear OtterBox Symmetry case instead.

    The pluses: Very durable Doesn't block screen view. The minuses: Feels like a brick Makes port and stylus access difficult Block some edge touch sensitivity. Overall: Definitely protects the phone and some difficulty accessing your ports may be worth the trade off if you're prone to breaking phones.

      Hi Wildgues,

      While we're glad to hear that your Galaxy Note 9 feels ready to take on the world in this Defender Series Pro, we apologize that you're struggling a bit with port access! Occasionally, the rubber on a brand-new case can be a little stiff at first, but don't worry - this particular unit was designed specifically to provide full device functionality, and we're confident that after a brief adjustment period, the port covers should start to move more comfortably! If you have any additional questions surrounding this, please feel free to call our playful Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll dive right into some answers!

      Best,
      OtterBox Customer Service Team OtterBox

      Dear Beba,

      We apologize that you're feeling slightly disheartened by this Defender Series Pro! We purposely designed this unit without a built-in screen protector in order to provide a direct, uninterrupted interaction with the curved infinity display. If you're looking for a little additional protection upfront, so to speak, we would suggest our Alpha Glass, which is specifically cut to work seamlessly with this case. If you'd like to check out this option, please feel welcome to call our friendly Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll happily answer any questions!

    Case probably provides good protection but the buttons are horrible. The buttons are ridiculously stiff. I spent hours trying to loosen up buttons. It takes a very strong hand turn the power button on/off and operate the volume buttons, At this price it should be easy to operate my phone not a fight. Trying to press on the stiff buttons of this case is a distraction. I tried to like this case but I went back to using my Speck grip case which feels more solid in my hand with a slim design and buttons are simple to operate. This case made me appreciate Speck cases. There are copies of this case that cost a third of the price and have soft buttons,

      Hey Viper,

      We're so sorry to hear that either the screen protector or phone is cracked! While our engineers work hard in both designing and testing the cases to make sure risk of injury is reduced, some variables and their impact are not predictable in every unique circumstance.

      If you find that the damage was only to the accessory and it was one of our products, though we can't extend our warranty to the phone itself, we would be more than happy to assist with a replacement for the screen protector. Please feel welcome to give our Otters a ring at 1-855-688-7269, and we'll explore the options!

      Warm regards,
      OtterBox Customer Service Team OtterBox
