this is my 2 otter very good http://www.otterbox.com/on/demandware.static/-/Sites-masterCatalog_OtterBox/default/v1507966525934/images/mobile/sam2-galaxy-note8-20.jpg
Without the protective plastic on the front of the Otter Box, one is forced to use the horrible glass protective layer instead. This does not fit will with the otter box case and continues to break on the Samsung Galaxy Note 8. This company should go back to the older version, where I did not have to change my case for 4 1/2 years on the Note 3. I have already replaced the protective glass on my one month old phone twice already. Disappointed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hey Nothingtooit,
We're sorry to see that you're feeling a little bummed by the screenless design of the Galaxy Note 8 Defender series! We intentionally decided to forego the traditional screen protector on this version in order to offer flawless, clear-cut access to the infinity display. We so apologize that your Alpha Glass is running into performance issues, and our friendly Otters would love to take a closer look to see how we can help. Please feel free to call them at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll solve this puzzle so that you can get back to complete, epic protection as soon as possible!
I am very pleased with my Otter Box Defender for my Note 8! Fits perfect and feels great and sturdy in hand. I don't plan on dropping it, but if I do I'm not worried with the Otter Box Defender on it. Definitely recommended!
I have been buying the Defender cases for years.Fit is great and lighter and less bulky while still having great protection.Color is great.Since buying the Defender have not had a damaged phone.cases are long lasting..
I purchased my first smart phone when my grandson was 3. No one would let him near their delicate phones, I purchased an Otter box Defender case, handed my phone to him and never looked back. Some people laughed that it made my phone a little more bulky but in the end I have never had a cracked screen and when I upgrade my phones look as if they just came off the shelf. I just received my Note 8, had the case even before the phone arrived, popped it in and I cannot wait for my now 11 year grandson to explore all of its new features.
Although I have not received my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 yet I have received the case and it looks like they've made some improvements the case is a lot thinner and it does not have that cheap looking plastic cover over the face does not look like it has too much bulky size to the phone can't wait to try it
Love the feel and color. I clip it in and it stays.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hi Michael!
Great to hear that your belt clip for the Galaxy Note 8 Defender is working seamlessly and that you're enjoying the design of the case itself! At least, we're hoping that's the case, since the two-star rating you gave is actually one of the lower scores out of five stars. If you're actually having any issues with the case, just reach out to our awesome Otter team a call at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll be happy to help in any way that they can!
