Perfection!
Probably the best case you can buy for the S9+. These phones are great, but let's face it--if you drop it and need a screen replacement it's big $$. Why would anyone risk a $250+ screen replacement charge when you can buy a high quality case like the Otterbox Defender?Yes, it's a little more bulky than other cases, but, the level of protection is unparalleled. The two part hard plastic case provides serious protection, while the rubber slip-on outer cover provides both shock absorption and a grippy surface to hold onto so you don't drop it.... Another added bonus is that if you use a magnetic car mount, you can put the metal plate on the inside of the case and still have it work because of the space between the hard plastic shell and the rubber outer casing. I've tried several other "rugged" cases for my S9+, and on all of those I had to stick the metal plate on the outside of the case in order to get the magnetic mount to work.Not sure why people buy big phones/phablets like the Note and S9+, then complain about them being "too bulky" when they put a case on. I like big phones because I have big hands, and the added bulk of the Defender case is minimal, helps me hang on to the phone with the grippy rubber outer cover, and provides serious protection for the phone. The rubber port duct covers are an added bonus and are easy to use, and the buttons are all super responsive.Some people have complained that this version doesn't come with a built-in screen protector, but I'm really glad it doesn't because the built-in screen protectors are always made of plastic that scratched easily and seriously decreases touch screen sensitivity. I also have a SUP Unicorn Pro, and while it's a nice protective case, the touch screen sensitivity is terrible, and after just a few weeks use the plastic screen protector is already scratched. I wound up getting a Tech Matte glass screen protector (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079YC1TRH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and it works GREAT with the Defender case--fits like a glove!One downside to this case is that if you are a frequent SIM card/Memory card swapper, I would not recommend this case as it is a bit of a pain to take the case apart to access the SIM/memory card slot, though it's not a huge deal.Bottom line: the Otterbox Defender case is the best case out there in terms of phone protection, grippy surface, works great with glass screen protectors, and has a lifetime warranty. I got mine at a nice discounted price through Amazon Warehouse, and it's easily the best case I've ever used!

Safe and unbreakable
Got this for an older phone we gave our youngest. And it has saved it so many times. He is young and we feel safe with the phone in the product, it almost seems unbreakable so far dare I say.

I chose to buy the Unicorn Beetle Sup case with a built in screen protector after I read so many reviews with people who claimed that the Sup Case was better and cheaper than the Otterbox Defender since this model ...
I hesitated in buying this case because I saw cheaper options that seemed to offer just as much or more protection. I chose to buy the Unicorn Beetle Sup case with a built in screen protector after I read so many reviews with people who claimed that the Sup Case was better and cheaper than the Otterbox Defender since this model does not have a built in screen protector.After recieving the Sup case it already had a deep scratch on the screen protector. The screen protector on that case did a disservice to this phones beautiful OLED display. The screen protector in that case scratched so easily ! Also people could not hear me well on speaker phone with that case on my phone.I then bought this case and I am extremely happy with this case and wish I had not been cheap and just bought this one to begin with. I have had an otterbox on my iPhone 5 and my iphone 6 and now my Samsung Galaxy as well. I have never had an issue with any of these cases and even the ones without screen protection offer alot of protection for the phone.The case does have a raised edge on the top and bottom that comes out from the screen to help protect from drops.I am still trying to find a glass screen protecror that is quality enough to pair with this case. The first screen protector I put on came off the phone while I was sleeping and was underneath me in my bed cracked when I woke up.Many will say you do not need to have a screen protector with this case on the phone and that might be true but I am over protective with my phones. With the prices of smart phones these days I don't think you can have too much protection!Another pro is that the case feels very grippy in your hands. I drop my phone pretty often and have not dropped it as of yet with this case on. I also feel as though thr case is not overly bulky at all compared to the defender case that I had on my iphone 5s. I feel that it adds just the right amount of rugged protection while keeping the phone slim. There are also rubber stoppers for the ports that keep dust out.IMPORTANT!!!!PLEASE read the instructions before installing this case and don't be an idiot like some others on here that have left bad reviews. Do not just try to open the box and shove your brand new $900 phone into the case while damaging and scuffing the sides of the phone. The case is Intended to be taken apart and installed a certain way piece by piece not just thrown on like any old case. The case does fit the phone perfectly and is not at all difficult to get on or off if you do it properly.

This is the screen protector I ordered and it fits perfect (note, screen protector is not the absolute best
MAKE SURE YOUR SCREEN PROTECTOR IS DESIGNED FOR CASES!This is the screen protector I ordered and it fits perfect (note, screen protector is not the absolute best, I would pick a different brand if I needed another, but it works fine)https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079YC1TRH/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1If you have not owned an ottorbox before, the installation of the case is not very intuitive. I would recommend watching a youtube video on how to install ottorbox defender cases.About the case itself, its awesome! Fits the case perfect and feels very secure. The buttons feel great and are easy to push. The dust covers are great, although I do have a slight concern that the dust cover on the charging port puts unnecessary stress on the port, which will cause it to need to be replaced soon. Since the backs of these cases are made of glass, its definitely going to shatter because I am not very graceful when removing them. Also, I wouldn't think my skills at waterproofing are anywhere near the factory, so after fixing a charging port my opinion would be that the phone is now water resistant, not water proof.I hope this review helps. Do not let my concern for the charging port deter your purchase. This case is fantastic and I would highly recommend it.

Hard-core tough, great protection for phone
Already had Otter-Box defender series but covers for ports came off. (Over 9 years on phone) This case is a level up, watch video to get able to install cover without issues. Very sturdy and strong. Confidence in the protection. Great products as always.

Una protección brutal para todo en móvil excepto la pantalla pero sacrificando tamaño
Una gran funda pero agranda mucho el móvil y la parte de la pantalla queda mucho más expuesta que el resto del móvil, que queda hiperprotegido
