Galaxy Tab A 8” (2017)

Reviews
Rated 5 out of 5 by Noel from I love good design The rugged and multi purpose design and build quality are very impressive. Solves all of my storage, protection and use-ability problems. And despatch and shipping to West Australia was as quick as it gets. very happy customer. thanks.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Big Ed from Worst purchase ever I bought this and when I received it was for the 2017 Samsung tablet and I have the 2018 tablet. I called Otterbox to see if I could return it and the lady apologized and said she would send me the right one. And to this day I haven’t received anything. I even offered to send the wrong one back. Otterbox needs to put the sizes of their cases in the description so you know if you are receiving the right product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Josh from Solid product sturdy case that feels good to hold. also has a handy cover that clicks in on the front to protect the screen while travelling

Rated 5 out of 5 by Skeeter from Protection At It's Best!!! Having just purchased a new tablet, it was time to get the best protective case available........ Otterbox. My cell phone has an Otterbox case and it had saved the phone any time it was dropped. The tablet case is another amazing case. The bottom line is easy........ If you want to protect your portable electronic gear, get an Otterbox!!!!
