I bought it a couple of weeks ago. Comfortable in my hands, really thinned down the bulk on the defender line, but still feels like it can withstand a lot. Great product.
Once again, Otterbox gives me the protection I need for a very... very, very expensive phone. I'm a rough and tumble in my everyday life, so need all the protection I can get to wrap around my phone. Worth every penny.
When I bought my new phone the first thi g I did was order my otterbox protection cover. I love it *and love that my favorite color, PURPLE, was available
I am extremely displeased that the defender does not offer the screen protector anymore. I've been a faithful otterbox customer for all of my phones, and I am not exceptionally enthused about this one. It does not fit as tight in the holster as my others have. I am pleased with the availability of different colors.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hey Why1,
We apologize that you're feeling so disheartened by this Galaxy Note 8 Defender series! We intentionally decided to do away with the built-in screen protector on this version to perfectly complement the curved screen of the device. After all, we definitely think you should be able to successfully use your phone while it is under our protection!
As for the holster, we typically recommend inserting the device into the clip with the screen facing out - this orientation usually works better with curved screens. If you run into any further inquiries, please feel welcome to give our friendly representatives a call at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll be more than happy to help out!
