I have used OtterBox Defender series for my past couple of phones. So when I purchased an S8 I bought a case however it's not the same sturdy/thick feel I'm used to. To be honest this thin case is not worth the price in my opinion. I do not feel like my phone is protected and I have already ordered a new phone case elsewhere.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Amanda,
We are truly sorry that this Defender case is not filling you with confidence. Minus the screenless design to allow for optimal use of the infinity screen, this Defender has all of the qualities that customers have come to trust in over the years.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269. We are happy to help!
Purchased this case expecting it to be like the case for the Galaxy S6 turns out it wasn't had to buy a screen protector separately then the case, super expensive not worth. But I have no choice.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I love how easy it is to snap on and take off. I have dropped my phone multiple times and I haven't had any issues. I wish there was a wider range of case designs though. Very limited for the Samsung galaxy 8.
The case is cute & I've gotten some compliments on it. It's not really what I've grown to love about Otterbox. I have been a loyal customer since my Apple iPhone 3 and I've always counted on the FULL phone protection. Now, it doesn't provide screen protection. I even ordered the glass cover and it broke during application of it along with the case. I was very disappointed and now am left with no coverage for my screen.
