It is a good case and protective as well but the case that I received looks to be loose on the sides mainly near the power button when ever i touch the core of the hard plastic near the power button it looks to be loose and not firmly fitted.
There is no front screen protector on this product
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hey Tcat,
You're definitely correct - the iPhone X Defender series has a screenless design to allow for seamless compatibility with the curved phone display. We apologize that you're feeling a little apprehensive about this new model, and we sincerely hope that we can help boost your confidence! Without the integrated screen security, the Defender case is still an extremely protective unit, and every effort was put forth in the testing process to ensure that it defends against any dangers that might otherwise compromise your iPhone.
If, however, you would feel better with some peace of mind, we would suggest taking a peek at our Alpha Glass screen protector. This tempered glass adds an extra layer of assurance and will pair perfectly with your Defender! Feel free to check it out by following the link below, and call our helpful Otters at 1-855-688-7269 with any further questions!
It is difficult to write a review as the phone has not released yet for purchase, but I'll do what I can.
The good: The case is built just like all the previous iPhone Defender cases with a top, bottom, and outer rubber casing. It arrived with a plastic belt clip.
The different: There is no plastic/transparent cover for the screen.
The bad: I don't yet have an iPhone X to put in it. :)
Since when does an otterbox not come with a screen protector. iPhone X otterbox needs improvement and needs to be redesigned to have a screen protector.

Hey there iPhone Tech,
We so apologize about any disappointment caused by our screenless Defender for the iPhone X. We intentionally decided to forego the built-in screen protector on this series in order to allow customers full, uninterrupted access to the uniquely curved touchscreen. An integrated screen protector could cause hindrance, especially around the edges of the screen, which was a frustrating experience that we did not want to put our customers through. Should you have any further OtterBox questions, please feel welcome to contact our friendly Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll be happy to help!

Hey Bill!
Sorry to see that you're feeling so let down by our screenless approach to the iPhone X Defender! We truly feel that our customers will have the best interaction with the beautifully curved display via either direct contact or use of a tempered glass screen protector. If you're looking for a little extra protection upfront, we would recommend our Alpha Glass screen protector, which adds a layer of fortified security. Feel free to take a look by following the link below, and call our experienced Otters at 1-855-688-7269 with any questions you may run into!
Could use the front screen protector. Already seeing some scratches.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hey Toddbuono,
Sorry to hear that you're not feeling super confident with the iPhone X Defender! We intentionally decided to not include a built-in screen protector with this series to allow customers full access to the beautifully curved touchscreen. If you're still looking for a little extra protection upfront, so to speak, we do carry the Alpha Glass, which will pair perfectly with your Defender. Please feel welcome to check it out by clicking on the link below, and call our awesome Otters at 1-855-688-7269 with any further inquiries!
