I bought this because my phone screen needed protection while in my purse. I also hoped because it was OtterBox brand if I dropped my phone my screen would be protected as well. Good thing I had a screen protector because I dropped my phone and the screen protector took a beating. This phone case frame does not completely come up over the phone to protect it from drops but it is protective for riding around in my huge purse. For the money too bad it doesn't do both.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

If you have any additional questions or comments, please feel welcome to call our wonderful Otters at 1-855-688-7269. They're always delighted to help!
I bought this case recently and I really like it. The leather feels very soft, and it does its job of protecting the phone. The inside material does get dirty, but not overly so.
I just got this case but my phone hasn't arrived yet. I love this. It was all that I expected and more. Paying so much for the phones, I like to keep mine protected. I got the alpha glass also. What I like about this case is that it looks upscale and classy. For me the wallet type works the best and I like the full wrap around. I like that not everyone I know has the same thing. This case stands out. The quality is amazing. A flick of my finger closes the cover on the case, keeping what I am viewing private. My phone should arrive this week and I can't wait to put it in this case.
I would recommend this to a friend!

NOT Compatible with Alpha Glass
on April 25, 2017

When I purchased this case, the Alpha Glass was listed as an add-on accessory. So I purchased both only to find out that the Strada is in fact the only Otterbox case NOT compatible with the Alpha Glass... I had to go digging through Alpha Glass reviews on another website to confirm this fact as I was wondering if I'd just gotten a defective unit instead.
So now after having my time and money wasted on an incompatible product, I'm having to RMA the Alpha Glass and am stuck using a Skinomi case friendly non-glass protector. At least it fits though.
If the Strada were Alpha Glass compatible it would receive a 5-star rating.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi TriHalo,
We are sorry for any confusion with your OtterBox purchase. Since the Strada has a folio to cover the screen when not in use the Alpha Glass screen protector is not compatible with this case.
We truly hope that this one unfortunate experience does not discourage you to consider our products in the future. If you ever have any OtterBox questions please feel free to give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269. We are happy to help!
After breaking two Samsung S8+ in four days, I learned my lesson. I have always had an otterbox on my phone, but when i purchased my new phone they didn't have one in the store and i bought a cheap case(to get me by), BIG mistake! Was unsure about the Folio type case, but with this fragile screen definitely thankful for the added protection! Love my otterbox!
I've had this case for a few weeks. Overall I'm very satisfied with the quality. Seems like it's going to live up to the otterbox standard of longevity. My biggest peeve is the shortage of space for your cards. I use my license and work ID badge but it's a tight fit. The card slot seems built for only one card. Kind of an odd design choice when plenty of cases make room for multiple cards. Still though, with Samsung pay on the S8, it's not the end of the world. I just hope to see a design change in the future. All in all, still worth the purchase IMO.
I received this case a couple of weeks ago for my samsung s8+ and I am so impressed! The case fits perfectly, all ports accessible, buttons etc. Love the folio, simply because it's extra protection for the screen! This case does not disappoint!
