The Best Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ Cases (2024)

There are two new Galaxys out there—theSamsung Galaxy S8andSamsung Galaxy S8+. PCMag's Sascha Segan calls the S8 "the overall most capable phone on the market" and gave it our Editors' Choice. Its companion release, the S8+, has the same features with a 6.2-inch screen and a larger battery.

After the Note 7 debacle, all eyes are on Samsung and the S8release. To reduce the risk of fire, Samsung will use a neweight-point battery safety checkgoing forward. With that covered, the biggest risk with the S8 might be its all-glass body and curved display. While it's made with Gorilla Glass 5 and wasdrop-tested for up to 4 feet, you'll probably want to invest in a case.

There are already many cases on the market; we've selected some that should fit every scenario and style. (If you're worried about that curved display, get aZagg InvisibleShield). Scroll through our choices and keep in mind that some manufacturers charge more for S8+ cases than for S8 ones, which we've noted.
