The commuter Series is usually what I purchase. It offers great protection and it's light weight. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars are the colors...I need more colors to choose from or create my own.
I bought the Samsung Note 8 and I dislike it. The case has no front or top plastic to prevent scratches.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Coolrunnings,
We are sorry for any misunderstanding with the Commuter case for the Galaxy Note 8. We do our best to describe everything that is included with each product. Perhaps you would be interested in the Alpha Glass for added screen protection. Check out the link below for more information on that product.
Good case, I would definitely recommend. I am very happy that a pink case was available but I wish there were more color options. I was able to get a 3rd party skin for my previous OtterBox, but I doubt I'll be able to do that on this case because of the width of the camera opening. I hope they get more colors or prints in the future!
My last few otterboxes are still in great condition. This one? Well... not as forgiving, and I just got it last week. Also, I was only offered 2 colors for my nor 8 case. Sad face...
Purchased this and a glass screen cover. Fits well with the screen cover. Color is close to a navy blue. Not to bulky. Able to put in back pocket of pants.
While the case does what it is supposed to do in terms of protection, it does not facilitate the "fast charge" device available with the Note 8. I did try for several days but it just will not charge with the case on the phone. I guess the silver lining is that the case is easy to remove and reinstall.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hey Paul,
Sorry to hear that you're struggling to use the Samsung wireless capabilities through your OtterBox case! We find this strange, since after extensive testing, we consider the Commuter compatible with all wireless charging features for the Galaxy Note 8. We would love to take a closer look to see if we can troubleshoot the issue, so please feel welcome to call our clever Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and we'll get to the bottom of this!
