Very sturdy case. Easy to assemble and remove. Makes the phone much easier to keep in the hand (not so slippery). Way less bulky than in years past (2011). I was willing to try it again as they no longer have the built-in problematic plastic screen protector.
Wording is bad. Having pro in the name made me thought it was for pixel 8 pro. It didn't fit. Returning it costs more than keeping it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I like the protection the defender series has. The only con is finding a mount or holder for the car. The case adds quite a bit of bulk, but protects well. Ever since I had a phone in a defender case run over by a car I keep getting one.
Case quality are as expected from OtterBox products. My only gripe is that there is only one way to latch the case onto the belt clip. I would have liked for it to be unidirectional.
