Incomplete without screen protection. With alpha glass being expensive and not yet available, I have to use another case until I can protect my screen.

Should you have any further questions or issues, please don't hesitate to contact our support team at 1-855-688-7269. We're always happy to help!
the snap in part does not fit as good, the price was high or higher but it did not include the screen saver section and there is no opening were the extra memory chip is loaded.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hey Bill,
We apologize that the Galaxy Note 8 Defender does not hold a candle to your last case! We understand your apprehension due to the lack of a built-in screen protector, but we're confident that our customers will have a better experience with the uniquely curved display through either direct contact or use of our separate Alpha Glass screen protector. As for the snap in part and the extra memory chip, we would love to grab more details to see if we can help those issues at all! Please don't hesitate to call our reliable Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll help as much as they can!
This is the best protective case you can buy for such a premium phone. Feels very protective and sturdy, you have to put medium to hard force to get the phone to snap in so it feels very compact and safe. With a screen protector and this case you can have confidence in carrying your brand new note 8 and not worry about breaking it if there is an accidental drop.
I have always been an otterbox fan and nothing has changed. I do enjoy having the screenless defender case as in previous phone models the screen protector that was attached made it hard to press the buttons. Overall love the case and color to protect this expensive phone!
I purchased this several days ago and I am so happy that I did. I had immediate protection for my Samsung Note 8. Otter Box has been my main protection for my phones for years.
I have had an Otterbox Defender on every Samsung phone I have owned. Every one was in absolutely new condition 2-3 years later when I was ready to upgrade. I have a new Note 8 and my defender case is remarkable. My phone is so protected with an Otterbox.
