GS8 Otterbox Defender

Just ordered my customized Defender case now so that as soon as AT&T will allow me to order my GS8 on a two year contract. Cobalt Blue inner layer with a black outer layer should look pretty good with Midnight Black.

I ordered the Caseology defender style case for the s8 Plus. The Otterbox Defender for this one looks really similar to the s7 edge which I have. The screen protector fits tight and doesn't allow dust under it, BUT it is very unresponsive and I've switched back to my supcase because of it. I want to see reviews of it and see it in person before I buy it at best buy and do amazon price match. If not I will use the Caseology and if I want more protection I'll find another thick case then.

I Blason has the armor box coming out and it looks really nice and has no screen protector built in. I might go for that one too if I don't get the defender.

Thought about the Alpha Glass but couldn't justify the cost as I have never needed it. It might have better fit tolerance. Had great luck with the Defender on all my Galaxy smartphones and it's still pocketable.

I always go with Otterbox cases. Usually go with the Symmetry because the Defender is too big. I did have a defender that fell 400 feet off a roller coaster and survived and I have sworn by Otterbox ever since. I do hope Zagg releases a privacy screen for the S8 since they didn't release one for the S7

I like Otterbox, but the new LifeProof FRE cases just announced should prove interesting, too.

Never having had a smartphone with a curved display, I have concerns with no stock screen protector. I had avoided the curved display because the cost didn't justify, in my mind, the value. Should I buy a tempered glass screen protector?

Great to hear, the case is good for working out...

Personally I like the individual cutouts on this case.
