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.

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+.

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.
