I already have used Otterbox cases in the past. They are the best. They really protect and keep my phone from the drops and bangs. There had been more than one occasion that it has saved my phone, and with as much as a phone costs anymore, you want to make sure its protected. I like the way it feels in my hand, its easy to hold on to and it is made of high quality material that makes it long lasting. Its well worth the money you spend.
I have used Otter Boxes for a few years now and love that they keep my phone safe, as I am very clumsy and frequently drop it. I am a little worried about the Samsung 8 though as the screen is curved upwards and is less safe than the previous versions. I've ordered the tempered glass, but am still not confident about it. Only time will tell.
The Otterbox Defender offers the best protection available. I previously had the Otterbox Defender for the Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Now I have the Otterbox Defender for the Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus. Two comments:
(1) The belt clip now comes attached to the holster.
(2) When the telephone is placed into the holster, a "snap" is now heard, informing the user that the telephone is securely in place in the holster.
I bought the case at the same time I purchased my Galaxy S8+. The case was easy to install although I have to admit I got some additional assistance from You Tube. The Screen Protector is a bit fussy and you need to make sure that you have it correctly positioned. The Screen Protector is also a bit awkward to use due to it's nature. Because the protector is rigid there are times, in particular when you need to interact with something at the edges, that require a bit more pressure. I believe that this is due to the curved edge.That said once you get accustomed to that, the issue becomes insignificant. All in all a great product.
