OtterBox Google Pixel 8 Defender Series Case

This case is not good on the Pixel 8. It is not a snug fit. The phone has a little bit of give to slide around by an extra millimeter inside the plastic shell. If you are planning on using this case with the Whitestone Dome adhesive screen protector, prepare to be disappointed because the corners of the case, when dropped, will push against the corners of the screen protector and mess up the adhesive of the Dome glass. My other problem with this case is it crackles a lot. I personally think the two-piece plastic shell being the inside layer is a bad idea. It is the reason why the phone is not perfectly snug inside of it. If Otterbox had just beefed up their Commuter case with the soft silicone layer on the inside and hard plastic shell on the outside layer, this case would have been phenomenal. I don't know why they make Commuter cases only for the A series pixels and not the yearly flagship models. Anyway, I give them credit for trying. I recently came across another beefy case that looks like a good contender to the Defender, however with no charging port dust flap. The case is called VRS Design for Pixel 8. The VRS fit is very snug over the Pixel 8 and doesn't seem like it will push the corners of the Dome glass when dropped on the corners. However, time and corner drops will tell and I will update my review on the VRS in due time (and drops).
