Purchased the Samsung Note 8 and wanted to get the OtterBox at the same time. So happy I planned ahead. The phone is very slippery, although very nice. Now my phone is well protected and looks good in it's purple getup.
I've owned Otterbox cases for my all of my phones for at least the last 7 years and they have saved many a potential cracked screen. I especially like how the screen cover has been removed from the Note 8 version. That was always an issue with the case I had for the Galaxy S7.
This would be my 7th otter box defender series. Of all the other phones and defenders I've had this one feels the smallest. I get it has to be for the phone but every other phone I've had with a defender felt invincible whereas this feels flimsy... I don't know if I would recommend this to a friend
I was very happy to see that you already had an otterbox for my Galaxy Note8. My last 4 phones have gone into the otterbox immediately after purchase. This time I had to wait about 7 days to get it and the entire time I felt nervous having the phone without it. Otterbox makes me feel safe with my phone. I also love the fact that I was able to have a screen protector to work with this box. THANK YOU
I prefer to house my phone with the most protective case possible, i.e. Otter Box. I am a lady and hated the "construction" worker feel of the Defender series cases for the older phones. I was very pleased to see purple and teal as options for the Note 8. Case is MUCH slimmer than previous cases and I'm very pleased. I finally look feminine phone wise! :)
