I have had these cases with just about all my phones. Although a little disappointed about there being no screen for the galaxy note 8, I still love this case and still feel that my phone is well protected. Will stand by my otter box.
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! :)
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
NO PROTECTION for the screen! Separate order. WHY???
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hey there Angela,
We deeply apologize that you're feeling letdown, so to speak, by the lack of an included screen protector for the Galaxy Note 8 Defender! We sincerely feel that the best interaction with the curved infinity display will come from either direct interplay with the glass, or use of a tempered glass screen protector. Fortunately, our exceptional engineers created an Alpha Glass for additional protection, which can be applied separately to the touchscreen. If you are interested in this option, please don't hesitate to follow the link below, and ring up our fantastic Otters at 1-855-688-7269 with any further queries!
Wireless charging is hit or miss. If you don't position phone just right, the charger will kick off and you wake up with a dead phone. Mostly works if phone is on its side with the power button side down, centered just right. Instead of standing up on charging cradle.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hi Doug!
We're so sorry to hear that with the Defender case, you're having trouble accessing the wireless charging features of your Galaxy Note 8! With the charging stand in a flat position, the wireless charging feature should work. If this is not the case, please feel free to call our expert Otters at 1-855-688-7269. We'll troubleshoot the issue and help out as much as we can!
