Protector Screen IS NOT compatible with Defender.
OtterBox has attempted to create a case that is compatible with a Protector Screen by allowing for the case to lap over the edges of Protector Screen. When you purchase the Defender case, the recommended article is the Alpha Glass Screen Protector. This leads to the belief that the Screen Protector is compatible with the Defender case. When searching for cases for the S8, every local vendor told me that Protector Screens for the S8 typically do not allow cases to entirely close around the phone because of the extend to which the Protector Screen protects the Edge screen of the S8. I wrote to OtterBox and questioned this. The response received was direct: "Since the Defender Series is screen-less the Alpha Glass will be compatible with the Defender Series." (Customer Service Incident 25493572.)
Unfortunately, this is not entirely true.
THE PROBLEM is that the edges of the the OtterBox case and the Protector Screen are so close together that the edge OtterBox case will occasionally slip below and fasten on the edge of the Protector Screen. This happens most often when attempting to put on the outer rubber protection, which requires placing pressure on the plastic part of the case in order to drag the rubber protection over the edge of the plastic case and into the proper place around the edge. When the edge of the plastic case slips below the edge of the Protector Screen, it fastens and creates a continual stress on the Protector Screen. When pressure is then applied to the screen, IT FRACTURES, usually starting with a run in the glass.
My Protector screen is now fractured, and I must CONSTANTLY check to see that the edge are of the plastic case has not slipped and fastened onto the edge of the Protector Screen. At a combined cost of nearly 900 SEK (93 USD, 84 EUR), this is ABSOLUTELY INEXCUSABLE.
OtterBox should at the very least be willing to supply new protector screens to consumers every time this happens. But this does not fix the problem. OtterBox needs to recall one or both products and reimburse the consumers for the defective design. OtterBox also needs to go back to the drawing board and create a compatible design where there is sufficient distance between the edge of the plastic part of the Defender case and the Protector Screen to prevent the possibility of the edges slipping and fastening on each other.

Problems
The Alpha Glass DID NOT allow me to use the screen for touch. I took mine off. My wife cracked the Alpha Glass trying to install it on her Galaxy S8+. DO NOT send a replacement, Alpha Glass is one of the worst purchases I have made.

Dont recommend.
I installed the screen protector as described and was using an otterbox defender case for my s8. Well the screen protector cracked in my pocket in under 2 weeks with only the phone in my pocket. Very unhappy with its durability especially since I always put the phone in my pocket screen towards my leg to make sure nothing hits the screen through my pocket.
