I bought the case as soon as it came out for the note 8. It would be a 5 star if the belt clip would clamp on to the phone better. I do construction and on the first day alone it unclipped and the phone fell. I've been buying defender cases since they first came out years ago. This is the first time the clip is not up to par.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hey there Maverick,
We're so sorry to hear that your belt clip is not securing properly to your Defender case! We might suggest experimenting with the way that you're facing the phone when you snap in the belt clip. It's possible that, due to the curved edges, one way of facing the phone will work better than the other. If the issue continues to persist, please feel free to ring up our friendly Otters at 1-855-688-7269! We'll be happy to take a look and find a solution for you.
I purchased my first smart phone when my grandson was 3. No one would let him near their delicate phones, I purchased an Otter box Defender case, handed my phone to him and never looked back. Some people laughed that it made my phone a little more bulky but in the end I have never had a cracked screen and when I upgrade my phones look as if they just came off the shelf. I just received my Note 8, had the case even before the phone arrived, popped it in and I cannot wait for my now 11 year grandson to explore all of its new features.
The phone does not snap into the holder securely or tightly
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Lillian!
We apologize that your belt clip holster is not snapping tightly onto the Defender case! This is strange, as we definitely want the belt clip to hold your phone securely on your hip for maximum protection while you're on-the-go. We would love to rectify the situation with a warranty claim on that clip, so please feel free to call our friendly Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll be happy to help!
Needs to come with protected cover sold separately COST as much as defender
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hey there Note 8 lover,
It certainly was not our intention to evoke any frustration with our new screenless design for the Galaxy Note 8 Defender, and we apologize! We sincerely feel that the interaction with the uniquely curved screen is best served by either direct contact with the glass or use of our separate Alpha Glass screen protector. If this is an option you would like to check out, please feel free to follow the link below and call our awesome Otters at 1-855-688-7269 with any queries!
Very solid case but the clip doesn't fit tightly like other models.
I would recommend this to a friend!
