Best Galaxy S8 and S8+ Cases
Find a Case for Your New Galaxy S8
Samsung’s Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ has brought a completely new look to the Galaxy smartphone line. So it takes a completely new set of cases to keep Samsung’s flagship looking as pristine as the day you take them out of the box. Fortunately, you're not hurting for choices when it comes to Galaxy S8 cases. And that’s a good thing, too, since you’ll want to do everything you can to protect a phone with a starting price above $700. Consider picking up one of these cases for your Galaxy S8 or S8+ or as gift for the Galaxy fan in your life. (Image Credit: Urban Armor)
Otterbox Defender Series
Otterbox has brought the enhanced protection of its Defender Series of cases to Samsung's latest phones with versions for the Galaxy S8 and S8+. The Defender Series consists of a polycarbonate shell and synthetic rubber slipcover to help your phone survive any drops, while port covers keep dust away from the headphone jack and USB Type-C port. To accommodate the S8's curved display, this Defender case features a screen-less design. While the S8 version starts out at $50 for basic black, we're much more taken with the $60 designs in Mint Dot and Camo.

Here’s an instance where you’ll want to be defensive.
