As always, good quality, durable, but still lightweight. It fits the phone perfectly and tightly. The only thing missing that would make it perfect is if there was a cover for the front glass. I don't like the fact that my phone screen is exposed.
I have used this product for almost a month now. I grew a love for Otter Box using my Note 3 Defender so I purchased this for my new Note 8. The phone fits in the belt clip very loose in this model. easily pops out and you very expensive phone lands on the ground. This just wasn't the quality I'm use to from Otter Box.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hey bigbudman,
Sorry to see that you're feeling disappointed by the Galaxy Note 8 belt clip holster! If you're having trouble keeping the case secured to the clip, we might recommend putting the phone in the belt clip with the screen facing out. This orientation seems to work much better for the Galaxy Note 8 Defender. If you continue to have issues, please feel free to call our detective Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll get to the bottom of this!
I have always used otter box phone protection cases for my phone. The only thang i have not liked is my cases have a clip holder and the last two cases clip holders have been very lose on phone and can come out of it to easy and i have had to modify them to hold phone beter. All the other ones have been grate except for last to i have bought.
As soon as I got my case, I put my brand new cell in it. A few hours later it fell on to rough concrete and bounced a few times.....not even a little scratch.. However, the fact it does not have neither screen protection nor side edges protection makes me nervous...I understand the compromise, but I think previous versions for my Note 3 and Note 5 protected better my phone.
I have used Otter box on my past three phones.With great results!! my last phone I traded in they said it looked so good that they would probably erase it and resell as used immediately.
