Best Cases for the Samsung Galaxy S8
The Galaxy S8 is one of the most exciting phones of the year, so if you want to keep it pristine, grab a case!
The Samsung Galaxy S8 has been around for a few months now, and theres no question that its one of the best-looking phones on the market right now. But there are two sides of curved Gorilla Glass, which means that any drop, even from a short distance, could damage it. If youre looking for a case for your new Galaxy S8, weve got you covered!
- OtterBox Commuter Series Case
- Ringke Flex S Series
- VRS Single Fit Case
- Spigen Liquid Air Armor
- Nomad Leather Folio Wallet
Otterbox Commuter Series
The OtterBox Commuter Series has garnered a well-deserved reputation as being one of the best cases for keeping your phone well protected while maintaining a slim design.
Like most OtterBox cases, this is a two-piece case that features a soft inner sleeve paired with a hard outer shell that helps to absorb impacts while providing great all-around protection for your phone. The case features port covers over the headphone jack and USB-C charging port, which just adds extra protection against dirt, dust, and pocket lint.
Typically wed also recommend OtterBoxs Defender Series, which typically offers more rugged protection with a built-in screen protector. However, OtterBox made the curious decision to not include a screen protector with their Defender Series case for the Galaxy S8. Both cases are compatible with screen protectors but the Commuter Series is probably your best bet, as its $10 cheaper and offers most of the same protection � although it lacks the Defender Series belt clip holster.
You can grab the OtterBox Commuter for around $25.

Ringke Flex S Series
If you like your cases name aligning with your phones, the Ringke Flex S is a great option. (Its also a damn good case.)
The main attraction here is the exceptional protection gleaned from the combination of a flexible TPU layer cushioning the phone itself, which is covered by a hard polycarbonate layer. Thats a familiar combination, but Ringkes version is very attractive, with a grippy, textured back that looks great as it protects.
You can pick up a Flex S case for around $14 and it comes in four colors.

VRS Design Cases
VRS Design has a full collection of cases available from its site for the Galaxy S8, but well highlight one of the more minimalist options here.
The Single Fit case offers a minimalist option for keeping your phone safe. Its a one-piece case made of TPU that snugly fits around your Galaxy S8 without adding too much bulk to that sleek design. Unlike the phone itself, this case is fingerprint resistant and also provides better grip than the slippery Gorilla Glass on the Galaxy S8. You get nice protection around the camera and fingerprint sensor on the back, and a subtle lip around the screen, along with the ample cutouts and precise buttons to ensure your phones functionality is unaffected.
Check out the Single Fit case for around $20.

Spigen Liquid Air Armor
Spigen consistently delivers cases that combine great design and quality protection for a stylish product that keeps your phone safe. Weve gone hands-on with their latest batch of cases for the Galaxy S8 and can report back that theyre as good as ever on Samsungs latest device. Whether you like their Tough Armor series or their minimalist Thin Fit cases, youre sure to find a case that youll love.
Were big fans of the Liquid Air Armor, one of the most low-profile cases that actually protects your phone. Its a great combination � a flexible TPU, not too thin, plus a textured back for extra grip.
Best of all, the case is just $10, which is a steal for one of our favorite cases for the Galaxy S8!
