      Hey JEFFK,

      We're terribly sorry to hear that this Alpha Glass is "killing" your screen sensitivity! This certainly doesn't sound like the kind, responsive screen protectors that we're used to, and we would love to rectify this situation by sending out a replacement. Please feel free to call our considerate representatives at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll tend to a quick warranty claim for you. Before you know it, you'll have a new, receptive glass on your Galaxy Note 8!

      Sincerely,
      OtterBox Customer Service Team otterbox

    Manufacturer defect wrong size in box marked note8

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Per manufacturer-otterbox-they verified that all of the recent shipments of alpha glass that were for the note8 contained (to best buy and other vendors) the wrong size glass.Otter box customer service said their (otter boxes) manufacturer messed up. Otter box has NO eta when their manufacturer will correct the problem. The alpha glass screens in the note8 boxes are more then 1/4 too small in height. Their (otter boxes) solution to me was to buy a product from another competing manufacturer and they (otter box) said if i want one from them, that I should check back in 6 months (I'm not kidding...that's what they said).I'm guessing the ones in the box are for the S8 (and not the Note8) as they should have been.save yourself the aggravation and call otter boxes customer service 800 number=1-855-688-7269 in a few months and make sure they have resolved the problem before you try and buy and go thru all the hassle like I just did.see attached pic too see how much smaller it is...

      Hey Skullface,

      We sincerely apologize about any miscommunication surrounding the Galaxy Note 8 Alpha Glass! Sounds like there was a bit of confusion on the line, as this is not the case. The Alpha Glass is cut specifically to fit seamlessly with the Galaxy Note 8 device, and all of our current screen protectors on the market should be a perfect fit. If you have any additional questions or simply would like to clarify this incident, please feel welcome to call our friendly Otters at 1-855-688-7269. They'll be more than happy to provide some answers!

      Sincerely,
      OtterBox Customer Service Team otterbox

    When I put this on, I was all excited. But I was severely disappointed. From the lack of touch sensitivity, the phone was rendered useless once this screen protector was on. Instead of choosing to aggravate myself any further, I returned this to the store and went with IQShield, which I've used on many other devices. Until they perfect the hard screen protector, I'll go with the IQShield. I'm shocked and disappointed that the defender series by Otterbox got rid of the plastic shield to protect the screen, but this is not a solution.

      Hey there CarolB,

      We so apologize that your experience with the Galaxy Note 8 Alpha Glass was so disheartening and that you felt your best option was to return the item. It seems like there might have been a misalignment issue going on that was causing some concerns with touch sensitivity, and had you contacted us, we would have loved to troubleshoot the issue for you, but we also completely respect your decision.

      It certainly was not our intention to evoke any frustration with the screenless edition of the Defender case. Quite the opposite, in fact, as we wanted to provide full, uninterrupted access to the uniquely curved infinity screen. We sincerely hope that this experience doesn't turn you away from OtterBox for good, and if you have any further questions, please feel welcome to call our friendly Otters at 1-855-688-7269. They'll be happy to help!

      Best,

    The application of the screen is straight forward and appears rugged, but responsiveness is certainly not as good as a naked phone.

    My phone fell face done in a case and the screen still cracked. Was offered a replacement and took the offer. After 3 months cracks began to form on screen. Not worth the money.

    So far it's a good glass protector. One thing I don't like is that it don't cover the Entire glass from top to bottom.

    Doesn't have a seamless fit on the phone, have to press screen a lot harder with this screen protector on. Almost like it messes up the calibration of the screen. It even makes a weird sticky noise when I press the screen.
