I bought the cover about three weeks ago and have used it every day since. It is great to clip on and easy access to most functions without removing the phone from the case. Recommended product thanks.
I bought this more than 8 weeks ago and I'm so happy the way it is. It fix perfect to my phone, it feels good on your hands and really protect your phone.
I bought this case 2 weeks ago and it does as described. My only complaint is that it is a bit heavy. Otherwise, I love the protection it provides and the color!
I have the Samsung Note 8 and the Galaxy s8. This is the 1st otterbox case that didn't get 5 stars. I do not like the screenless feature. Plus, the belt clip holder does not feel secure and due to the space from no screen, it "clicks" after inserting feeling like it it's not in place. The option of still being able to wireless charging is an awesome feature, even though I can't use it due the medal plate for my magnetic holder, but that's a separate issue... Maybe otterbox should make a phone holder for the car...?
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hey there Jimdlux,
We apologize that you're feeling slightly disappointed in the Galaxy Note 8 Defender series! We intentionally decided to take a screenless approach to this product in order to give customers full access to the uniquely curved infinity display. However, it is odd that the belt clip holster is not tightly fastening, as the clip is engineered to hold your phone securely at your side for on-the-go protection! Please feel welcome to call our super-sleuth Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they’ll gladly get to the bottom of this and send out a warranty replacement.
As for the magnetic car holder, unfortunately we are unable to test our products with third-party accessories, so we cannot guarantee that they will always be compatible with items from different companies. We're happy to pass your feedback along to our product design team for future consideration, and if you have any additional questions, please let us know!
I'm really rough on phones and drop them a lot. This Defender series case has saved my phones numerous times over the years. I'm a Defender series devotee and will use no other case for my phones. Thank you Otter Box for such an excellent quality product.
This is my third Otter Box Defender. It is not as sturdy as those I've previously owned. The clasp does not hold as tightly as the older. This one does not have the heavy rubber corners (which is where all cell phoned hit when they fall)
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi gorge,
We're sorry to hear that you were feeling so uncertain about the Galaxy Note 8 Defender series! As new devices are released, we typically like to update our case designs to make them more streamlined. Although this version of the Defender might be a little different than your previous cases, we assure you that it is still just as protective as ever!
As for the unstable belt clip holster, we would have been happy to send you a secure warranty replacement, but our records show that we already have a return processing for you. We sincerely hope that this experience does not turn you away from OtterBox for good, and if you have any future questions or comments, please feel free to contact our friendly Otters at 1-855-688-7269. They'll always be happy to help!
