Excellent product. I'm now a fan.
Color: BLACK
I will preface by saying this is my very first time using Otterbox. I've used about 5 different Zizo cases and several of the $20-30 level cases. It seems to me that a lot of people are giving this product a bad review purely based on the fact that it doesn't come with a screen protector, which is unfortunate. This is a review I genuinely wanted to write so if you want a view of the product from someone who came into it without any expectations of what it "supposed" to be then keep reading and I hope it will be helpful to you. As the namesake I'm sure almost everyone has heard of or seen somewhere it indeed screams premium. While I do not want to take away anything from Zizo cases because they are well made and have saved many of my phones from certain doom, just taking this out of the box and seeing the design of it and feeling it in your hand inspires confidence and I can instantly see and feel a higher quality. I almost feel as though I could throw my phone at the ground and have it come out without a scratch (in all fairness though, I won't be trying that with a $1000 phone). Seriously though, I have a lot of confidence in this case. The plastic inside part has an interesting design compared to others I've used. Instead of just snapping together and popping apart there are actually tabs that hold it together. Just seems more consistent and well thought out of a design. The rubber part of the case is a very dense rubber. It feels solid and heavy. There are to stripes running down the outer edges of the back. These are very grippy in the palm. The rest of the case is not as textured but still has some grip. I've put my phone with this case on the dash of my car and while I wouldn't risk drifting around and having it stay in one spot, it does seems to stay for me for normal everyday (sane-ish) driving. Just a few other things I wanted to point out. In my experience with the case I got there doesn't seem to be any crazy pressure being applied that would cause anything to crack or break. Also, the case is a bit loose in the holster. However, I have done some reasonable pulling and pressing on it and it does appear, at least in the one I got, that it would take appropriate force to separate the case from the holster. I can't see mine just falling out. And just to get the cat out of the bag. Yes this is an absurdly expensive case for an equally absurdly expensive phone. Should it come with at least a plastic wet application screen protector? Probably. But I would probably spend a bit extra to make sure I got the one I wanted after spending so much for a phone and a case anyways. Do you have to use the OtterBox brand tempered glass? Not at all. It is also expensive. If you don't like those or like the cost just buy another that suits you, there are plenty out there, you've already came this far. TL;DR (but still somewhat long) I was not paid to write this and I paid full amazon price for this case. I really love this thing. I am actually very happy with the way they made the whole screen open and not ruin one of the things that make this phone so cool. Thank you for having the guts to change it up and then stick by your design ideas. This case really makes me feel confident my expensive phone is well protected. I am an Otterbox fan now. I fully recommend this case, if the idea of paying the hefty price and also not getting a screen protector doesn't bother you because it was included in the past. I hope this was helpful to at least 1 person. One final thing. The case is very much a pain to get off. I have found that starting over the volume buttons makes it a bit easier. Not sure why but it seems easier to get started there then working your way around the case, I head to the bottom next I pre-loosen the port covers and solider on around. Also, while on that topic, the port covers were unusually hard to get opened as others have said. After getting them open about 5 or so times now it seems much easier. I don't know if I just got used to it or found a specific way to open but I believe after you open them a few times and get some of the stiffness out of them they get a little easier but I can't say for sure on that. ... show more

Absolutely awesome case for my Note 8 .....!!!
Color: BLACK
I dont leave a review often, but must for this stellar product. The moment I tried taking it apart, so I can install it on my phone, I noticed how tightly everything fit, the thickness and strength of materials, all instill confidence and trust that your investment is safe. The fit on my phone was superb. Yesterday I dropped my phone from waist height, onto hard parkinglot asphalt and was very scared for the phone. Picked it up, looked it over, not a single crack, scratch, or blemish anywhere on the phone or the rubberized otter case (its external shell is thick rubber, then hard plastic internal skeleton, then soft padding actually touches the phone from the back), just perfect impact absorption, no damage whatsoever, just unbelievably impressed with this. I only say this because my previous Tech21 $45 piece of crp case didnt not protect on the 1st impact, allowing screen damage in a similar scenario out in the parkinglot. I ve had to file insurance claim, and pay deductible, to have my phone replaced. It's been a few weeks since I've had it on my phone, already even dropped it once, which is to be expected with a handheld device. And I can tell yea, its he real deal for protection, and on top of that, the rubbery texture feels great in hands, and its non slip if you lay your phone on flat mobile surfaces like dashboard, behind steering wheel for navigation, on the clipboard, on my lap, never have to worry about it slipping. That right there is a little less stress at work, and worth alot. Feels great, looks great too, love the looks of it. Well engineered case, feels and performs like quality. Love the lifetime warranty too!! ... show more

Excellent protection; feels very durable - YouTube tutorial for the installation is recommended
Color: BLACK
Great fit for the Galaxy Note 8! Installation took about 15 minutes; I'd recommend watching a YouTube tutorial first since the 4-layer design is a bit confusing. Pros: Excellent protection; feels very durable. Cons: No screen protector included. The dust tabs for the charger and headphones are very stiff and difficult to open quickly. Despite the minor annoyance with the tabs, it’s a solid case that should keep my phone running for years to come." ... show more

Great Protection. You still need a glass protector. Still feels slim. Textured rubber is a positive for me. Still tight.
I used a Defender case for my Motorola Droid X and thought that I should go back to one for my Note 8. I was using a book/wallet style covering for my Note 7 before I had to give it back, and while I do prefer that style case, I felt like I needed more protection for the Note 8. I was not used to having an unprotected screen, and I had to buy a separate screen protector. This case is nice. It is a bit big, and you do have to use a holster unless you have some fairly large back pockets, but that's fine by me. It does fit some of my jeans and slacks, however. The charging port cover is still a bit stiff and difficult to open at times, but this just means to me that the rubber will last a while and won't get too soft and slippery too soon, unlike my Droid X Defender case. I like the textured rubber, and feel like this adds to the strength of the rubber. It has not become a loose saggy mess, but I've only been using this case for almost 2 months. One downside is that I cannot use the Fast Charge dock (older). I could use the Fast Charge on the thinner OtterBox case (Commuter?). I still have that case, but I prefer the Defender Case. For me, this case still retains the slim profile of the Note 8. My Droid X felt like a huge brick. I am happy with OtterBox's customer support. They sent me a replacement clip for my holster when mine broke on the Droid X Defender case. ... show more

Nice rugged case for your Note 8... With a few little things to keep in mind.
Color: BLACK
This is the second OtterBox Defender I have purchased for my Note 8 in a year and a half. In general I really like the case. It's very durable, protects the phone nicely from drops and makes the phone feel "grippy" when holding it. There are only 3 things I don't really like about it and one of them is typical of all cases. First, you do have to take it apart periodically to clean the case and phone so grit and grime doesn't do a number on your phone, but this is typical of all cases, not a fault of OtterBox. The second is that the flaps for the audio jack and charger port are tough to open for a while when the case is brand new. Third is that over time the plastic part of the case near the charger and audio port will crack and break, which is the reason I had to replace the case in the first place. I don't know if this is something that OtterBox could actually fix though, because of the port layout and speaker, there just isn't a lot of room to build in structure. I don't really use the phone clip that often... The Note 8 is pretty massive to begin with and having it dangling in that case on a belt ends up being an easy target for getting snagged on things, not a fault of OtterBox at all, just the nature of having a phone the size of the Note 8. This means I mostly have it in a pocket or bag, and I think this is part of the reason for the failure for the plastic structure of the case by the charging port. I will usually put the phone in with the speaker facing up, and as a result pull the phone out by they end as well. So it puts extra stress on the weakest part of the case. I know some people have mentioned the case causing damage to their phone, or not protecting it in a fall... But realistically the phone is a giant screen, so if it lands directly on that, I can't see how it won't break. I've used this phone/case combo for well over a year, I do a lot of property care type work, woodworking and cycling. The phone has had it's fair share of tumbles and still looks almost new when out of the case. ... show more

Is it worth it? Maybe!
So difficult to evaluate this. I'm sure it's among the best cases for an expensive phone. I've dropped mine a couple of times. The last time, it cracked and chipped the carrier. I don't like the way the included carrier works. It connects to the phone with essentially, a very small tab. Then it's very loose when attached to belt or pants. My carrier broke to the point I couldn't use it any more. It's very sturdy, but it must have hit the exact worse way. It had the phone still attached, so there was weight in the fall. The falls have also taken its toll on the case itself. It has become just a little loose in surrounding the phone. I squeeze the phone and I can hear and feel it moving now. But that's what the case is supposed to do! It's supposed to absorb the shock and save the phone. The case quality is actually very good. the carrier is something I'd opt for another design. The value is what's difficult to place. It's a very good case. It's also expensive. Worth it? Maybe. I've put in a warranty claim. It's probably important for you to know. I've put in a claim before this and have received nothing! No response. I've put it in another warranty claim, so we'll see what happens now. There is a charge for your warranty claim. Not unreasonable, but I wonder if they should charge anything? We'll see if they ever come through with the warranty claim. it'a also important for you to know, I've had this case for over a year, so this didn't break easily. It does appear to have done what it was designed to do!! UPDATE I did receive the replacement. I've looked for confirmation of my first order and couldn't fine one. I wonder now, if Otterbox ever received my order. I may not have completed it?? I was nervous about removing the existing Otterbox case. I could feel movement and knew something cracked. As any NOTE 8 owner knows, these phones have a lot of glass! Curved Glass along with a lot of glass. A couple of the drops were BIG drops onto concrete floors. Yep! It was broken. THE CASE SKELETON WAS CRACKED. NO DAMAGE WHATSOEVER TO MY PHONE. THE NOTE 8 WAS WITHOUT DAMAGE. I was dreading what I might find. I guess it did it's job? With glass phones, I'm not sure what else I would want, other than Otterbox. ... show more

Frame cracked in time, yet it still held up

The otterbox is still the best protector for phones (minus the lack of screen protection, you're gonna get that new phone though right?) I've dropped my phone many times and nothing has happened to it, luckily. It simply bounces off the case. I've never dropped my screen on anything pointy though, it's just lucky it always hits flat or on the sides. I've had my phone case since 2017, after all my clumsiness and having to take it off maybe 5 times, the frame seems to have deteriorated and cracked at the bottom two corners. Surprisingly, even cracked, the case held protectively to my phone. This last time I took it off, finally changing the case, the other corner broke off. It seems it was perfectly timed. I'm grateful that even if the case deteriorated and the back started peeling, it still held strongly until I was ready to replace it. 5 stars for protection and durability even though the frame cracked because it still protected my phone. Another tip, if you want to use a pop socket and dont mind it being permanently affixed, get the round 3M stickers here on amazon, they will stick ... show more

I love my Note 8
I love my Note 8. I love the performance, the pen, and most especially the looks. What I don't love, however, is how fragile the glass is on the phone. Friends with the Galaxy S8 would always say, "I love my phone, but..." A couple had broken glass with a single drop. So as much as I love how beautiful the Note is, I decided that I'd protect my investment with a case. I've used and trusted Otterbox for my previous two phones, and despite multiple drops, on wood, concrete and stone, I've never had an issue. Otterbox is not perfect, however. On the plus side, the dual case system is really, really solid, with great fit and finish, and superb attention to detail. It looks and feels like it was built as part of the phone, with zero gaps, perfect cutouts and a solid feel in the hand. The clip, however, is a different matter. While I was in line for airport screening, the clip completely failed, breaking off from the holster, and dumping holster and phone to the ground. The only bright spot was that the clipless holster and the case did prevent any damage to the phone. To add insult to injury, the Otterbox warranty charges you shipping to send out another "free" clip. In the end, I decided to buy a slide in holster (Note-Ize, sold here on Amazon) that stays on my belt, and holds the Note 8, with case, quite snugly. I will buy te Otterbox for my next, but if you really want to hold your phone on your belt, I'd say find another product. ... show more
