I have used the OtterBox defender series cases for years now on all my devices. They are proven and I just love the craftsmanship. My last phone was the Note 4 and I took the case off of it and it look immaculate, just like it was remove from the factory package. I just installed a new OtterBox defender case on my New Note 8 and expect it to do the job of protection my new phone. I stand by the OtterBox brand, they really do make an excellent product.
Works great, but for the price I would like to have seen a screen protector included.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hey there Chip,
We're so sorry to hear that so far, your adventure with the Galaxy Note 8 Defender has been less than satisfactory. We understand that the case without the screen protector makes customers feel a little more vulnerable, but we assure you, the case is just as protective as ever! We truly believe that either direct contact with the curved infinity display or use of the Alpha Glass screen protector will give our customers a better experience with the phone overall. Should you have any additional questions or concerns, please feel free to contact our support team at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll be glad to further assist you!
Had this case for 2 weeks now. Missing having the screen protector like the s7 edge and when clipping the phone to the holster the phone must face outwards that's the only way to secure the phone I'm place.

Hi Jj89!
We apologize that you're missing the built-in screen protector that was incorporated on the Galaxy S7 Edge Defender. We intentionally left out the screen protector on the Galaxy Note 8 Defender so that customers would have the best experience using the curved infinity screen. While we understand that the Galaxy S7 Edge also had a curved screen, after further testing and extensive customer feedback, we're positive that this is the best design for customer experience. If you run into any additional OtterBox questions or issues, please feel free to call our expert Otters at 1-855-688-7269. We're always happy to help!
The phone case itself is as good as any Otterbox defender series case I've had, but the belt clip broke after only 2 days (it broke from LIGHTLY hitting my kitchen counter). I've been using Otterbox defender cases for about 6 years now, and all the belt clips from my previous phones are still in 1 piece after taking at least 2 years of abuse. I would've given it 5 stars if the clip didn't break so soon.
Maybe the design for this belt clip can be revised to take tje extra length into account.
Otherwise the hard and soft covers fit the ohine very well, without making the phone bulky.
I would recommend this to a friend!
