I have a zagg screen protector for my note 8 and tell same case for it never had a issue. Except for the clip if you have it on and the phone is not in it and you bend over or move a certain way you can break off a corner. But otterbox tool care of me
I have a note 9 and I got defender with plastic and it bubbled so got a zagg glass screen protector and a otterbox commuter. Im hating the commuter as screen is still vulnerable. If I went and exchanged for the defender again would it work with the zagg glass screen protector? Also the stores wont let me return screen prottectors so Ill buy th otterbox screen protector as last resort. I just mainly want the defender
We are bringing on the heavy hitters on the cases now. That's what I call maximum protection. I seem to prefer the more slimmed down cases that I would be able to fit in my front pocket.
Been using Otter Box Defender cases since the Blackberry 8300 and they have never failed me. I work in construction and sometimes my phone does take a fall. And so far the OB case has protected it. Using the Galaxy s6 now and after 3 years it still looks like new because of this case.
I have just changes from the note 8 to 9.The defender destroyed 2 screens. on my note 8.My wife bought a new one again by mistake.its in the bin.It wasn't the edges damaged either..it was inside and under the case,from waist height drop.Again did you see the problem..you have just enclosed a glass phone...in hard plastic.Outer silicone takes the shock and passes into the plastic.. into your phone.Notice there is no height given on the box.i had to go the site to find out.. or maybe I missed it.I explained what happened.Their solution..buy one of our glass screen protectors,that don't go inside the phone.Bravo.
Had one for my S4. Will be getting one for my Note 9 which I've had for exactly a week. You should get a Whitestone Dome Tempered Glass kit and see if you can still use the Defender case. Only problem with the case design is over time (years) the rubber PWR button will make your phone's PWR button sift and might require servicing. Happened on my S4. After 5 years though. Rather have an exposed PWR button.
Hi Anderson , the screen protector I have on the video is actually a whitestone Dome. It is very tight fit , I ended up removing it because it was barely touching the bottom part. I think you can get it to work, but will require a very precise installation. As I mentioned the top had a little extra space which would had helped if I could scoot the glass up a little
Girls use cases too! You didn't address the ability to wirelessly charge with this case. I love the highly padded versions., wish Ballistic would make one for the note 9 like had for note 4. Thank you for your great reviews!
you are right !! I need to review a more variety of cases . As far as wireless charging it worked , I didn't do the extra test to see how fast wireless charging is impacting . Thanks for the feedback !!
As for me I recommand the "OBLIQ" leather flip case, probabely one of the best products for who wants to keep with his phone à few bank notes and crédit cards hidden in a very protective and elegant case, "italien leather made". I suggest you make à review, and I add that I have absolutely no commercial interest in writing this comment. Keep on making your vert interesting reviens Mayito.
Excellent demonstration. Curved edge of the screen is somewhat exposed but overall, it's a pretty good case for someone like me who drops their phone once in a while. Thanks for the demo!!
The case should be like the otter box cases for the motorola g7 power so the rubber outer layer isn't covering to pieces of plastic I had a case like that for my old ZTE MAX PRO. the the screen broke when I dropped the phone facedown. And I believe it was partially because of the fact that despite the fact that the outer layer was rubber, There is no rubber protecting the phone from the inside front where the faceplate is.
Is this "Defender Series Pro for Galaxy Note 9" better as a Love Mei case? The Love mei case is made of metal that is held together with screws, but without a screen protector. This case does not have an internal shock absorber frame like the Love Mei case? It ist not waterproof? It does not have its own protective glass (case for Samsung Note 9)? I'm looking for the best full ruggedized case for the Note 9. Like a Panasonic Toughbook CF-31.
The 'defender' did not protect my note 9. The edge of the phone is completely unprotected. Maybe if you drop it straight down, fine. But let it slip out of your hand at work and hit the edge of something - like mine did - and the phone is toast. I've had this case since day one and never dropped my phone until tonight. Now I need a new phone. First and last otterbox I'll be buying.
Sorry to hear! You are not alone, several people have mentioned the same over the years. There is not a case that will protect a phone 100% if any of it is exposed. I had people mention same issue as you and other where the camera glass broke aswell.
I have this setup. I just carry it around. No way can it fit in a pocket. Buy a burner flip phone on a different line that is the size of a matchbox car. Use it when going out or just get the gear watch.
I don't think Otterbox is providing a screen protector any longer. That and the one they used to include isn't too good. As there is no adhesive behind the Otterbox screen protector ( I had one fro my Samsung S4). Though, it still worked...touch sensitivity wise. My only gripe was the power button was too loose and over time the phone's power button got loose...wiggled around too much...which might have been the fault of the phone design/engineering...the Note 9's power button is different. Less likely to wiggle side to side. Should last longer. Then again I had my S4 for over 5 years...Don't see myself using my Note 9 that long... Today the best tempered glass screen protector is the Whitestone Dome...but expensive @ $60 CDN...costing more than many cases...should be priced between $20--$30 CDN....Has any one used the Whitestone Dome protector and the Defender??
yep, I remember reading bad reviews about the Otterboc Screen protector. The screen protector I have in the video is a whitestone dome and is the best you can get . Sadly I noticed that it was not compatible with this model of otterbox as the glass was touching the edge of the case and it started peeling up the bottom part just a bit .
What's the best screen protector you recommend for these because I had this exact case for my phone and it having the curved screen protector it always would pop the screen protector off or the screen protector wouldn't stay on because of the way the case was built
honestly .. it really depends on the user and the luck . I mainly use a smaller profile case that only adds a little of protection. I never used a screen protector until I got one from a company to test . I have never broke a phone or scratched a screen . I had people mentioned that their screen broke after dropping the phone on this case
@@MayitoTek i didn't put a screen protector on my 7 Edge. Big mistake as the screen broke and is a $300 repair. So, a screen protector is going on my $1,000 Note 9 for sure. Not taking any chances. BTW, I had to buy the 7 Edge after they took away my Note 7 TWICE! due to somebody else's misfortune with the battery?
as shown in the video , I was able to install the case while having the glass on . I don't recommended as I can see the case touching the glass, I removed my after a day and noticed the glass pilled off a little on the bottom edge. I would not risk messing up an expensive glass protector because of the case pushing on it .

Best phone case for note 9 i like it! Thanks for posting but how's the GPS working? Is GPS still good with this bulky rugged case? And would you please post a video of wallet case without magnets if you can find any?
I did not notice a drop in signal, but this will make for a great test . I will test it and provide more feedback . Sadly I dont come across many wallet cases as they are not as popular, but will keep it in mind . Thanks for the suggestions!!
hola, Mica ( protector de pantalla?) , Depende que compania uses, pero no recuerdo alguna en particular que sea compatible. La que yo tenia si tocaba la case, lo cual con el tiempo hace que se levante
First off let me start by saying I love otter box cases. And I prefer bulky and durable to flimsy jokes! So I don't mind carrying a bulky case everywhere I go. But I already know how the clip broke on the guy mentioned in the video. I've had belt clip cases that double as kick stands they are great for carrying your phone on your belt and protecting the phone from drops. But you only get so many uses out of the belt clip as a kickstand before it either breaks or the plastic notch used to lock the belt clip in the kickstand position, Stops being malleable to bend it into the locking position. Also while I love a multi layered case for protection, I hate what they use a plastic from lipton lock the phone in the case The plastic outer layer should be snug enough to hold the inner rubber layer on the phone A plastic locking faceplate is destined to break eventually. The kickstand should be on the case itself for all phones. Because the belt clip doesn't give you any leaning angle And that type of belt clip isn't ideal as a kickstand. It's just asking to break your belt clip.
Plastic outer lip not lipton. Those are known for being the first thing to break. On a case usually when you drop it face down which I seem to do quite frequently.
I did not use this case for a long time. Some people have suggested getting a screen protector but there are very few that will work with this case. Otterbox makes one bad it has very bad reviews and is not recommended.
@@MayitoTekHello Mario.....fiiiiiinally I found a brand new note 9 and I am going to buy it this week... Does the note 9 come with screen protection from the the original box? Which you recommend? Thanks
That would be nice.. but I dont believe on them. Even with with the best case, you always have a chance that the phone will still crack somewhere.. I actually had some people mention that they phone cracked even with this case. I think sometimes Just depends the angle and where it hits
My Nephew had a Galaxy S9, shiny and brandnew. AND he d put an otterbox on it. Guess what? Due to the "edge" Screen that thang fell down (the edge hit the stone) and f...ed up the whole screen! Repair cost = 450 Euros --> GTFO! lol And yeah, I know ... his mom could ve had bought him an insurance... well... she didn t ! ;-( Even an Otterbox does not protect you anymore. What re you gonna do? Same Risk with the Note 9 due to the edges who can not be really protected. Thx for the vid.
yep, the screen def is not going to be protected. This is a nice case but not for me or many people.. Just too bulky and heavy .. Hope you are doing well !! Good to see you stop by the channel !! 👍
I am staying away from Twitter for now. just been super busy with work and other things in life. I wont be getting the S10, but will let you know for the Note 10. Thanks man ! Hope you are doing well and Happy Late new year !!
this case can offer probably the best protection , but does not guarantee that the phone will never get damaged from the drop :). Many people have mentioned that their screen still shattered after dropping the phone on a case like the otterbox

Exactly so what is better?
I had a similar Otterbox case and these are built really well.
They sure feel like they will last a while

Would love to know if you found a reliable battery for your note 4 and where! Been thru 3 useless replacements in last year. Thanks
@@JC-il4or I would bring it to a store that has oem batteries and try one of them, if that does not work, just get a new phone
Good to know that Otterbox has your back on this one if something happens!
They better man.. them cases are $$$😉

Thanks for sharing !
I check to be sure OB has a case (1st) for any phone I consider buying. EXCELLENT customer care in my experience(s).
very nice!! Thanks for sharing !!
Nice review Mario! I’ve never owned an Otterbox case but I’ve held a couple before and they seem really well built and protective!
Hi Tony !! Yep they sure add some above protection.. Sadly it does make a beautiful phone turn into a brick 😬
