I bought it at the release day of the note 8. The case is very secure, but the belt clip doesn't feel like it locks in properly as other defender cases I've had.
this case for being so premium should come with a screen protector....the clip not sure if it's a defective but when I clip it in.. it's clips back out slightly.. case it's just ok ... just feel more should of been giving for the price that was paid..
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hey Jay Jay,
We apologize about any confusion with our new Defenders for the Galaxy Note 8! We truly expect customers to have a better experience with the uniquely curved infinity screen through either direct contact with the glass, or use of a separate tempered glass screen protector. Our magnificent engineers did design an Alpha Glass screen protector that adds an extra layer of security, just in case. Feel free to take a closer look by following the link below! In terms of the belt clip holster, we find it odd that it's not clipping securely to the case. Please reach out to our support team at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll be happy to help find a solution!
Phone is lose in the case. Fix it please I will fall out
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hey there JC White,
We're so sorry to hear that your Defender case is not hugging your phone tightly! This is strange, and we're glad to see that we already have a warranty replacement ordered for you. You should soon be receiving an email including your tracking information for your order. If you have any further questions or concerns, please reach out to our helpful Otters at 1-855-688-7269!
I love the case as I always have every time that I've purchased one for a new phone, but this time, I was very disappointed. It came with no screen protector and with the cost of this particular phone, I really need that. I've ordered one.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hi frankw1970,
We apologize that you’re feeling disappointed by the screenless design for the Galaxy Note 8 Defender! We believe that our customers will have the best interaction with the curved infinity display by either directly touching the glass, or using our separate Alpha Glass screen protector. The Alpha Glass should pair perfectly with the Defender, and they are cut specifically to work as companion products. If you have any further OtterBox questions, please feel welcome to call our friendly Otters at 1-855-688-7269. We're always happy to help!
I knew before purchasing that there was no built-in screen protector, which surprised me because the Otterbox Defender series are known for their superior phone protection. However, I bought the defender case for my Note 8 anyways. After having my phone for a few days with the Otterbox, I have come to the conclusion that not having a built-in screen protector does actually leave the phone screen vulnerable. Even with the raised bevel - it wouldn't help if you were to drop your phone on a rocky surface. I love the Otterbox defender series. Always have. But I will be returning this case due to there not being a screen protector built-in like its predecessors. Hopefully Otterbox will design a new defender case for the Note 8 with the added screen protection.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Dear Casey,
We deeply apologize that you're feeling letdown by our new screenless Defender cases for the Galaxy Note 8. We were concerned that our customers would have difficulty using the curved edges of the infinity display with a built-in screen protector, so in order to forego any of these frustrations, we decided to not include one. We understand that this makes customers feel a little more vulnerable, but we assure you that our cases are still just as protective as ever! Additionally, if you are interested in a little more protection upfront, so to speak, we do carry the OtterBox Alpha Glass screen protector that will pair perfectly with your Defender. Feel free to take a closer look by following the link below, and please don't hesitate to give us a quick call at 1-855-688-7269 if you have any questions at all!
