Best Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus cases: Protect your new Samsung smartphone

Samsung’s Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus have finally been officially announced, offering stunning designs, huge displays and plenty of power. They come with IP68 waterproofing, super slim bezels, a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor and 18.5:9 ratio curved screens.

As with all smartphones though, they won’t stay looking new and shiny forever, picking up unavoidable scratches and dents as time goes on. Admittedly, it’s always a shame to cover up fabulous designs, but it’s better to protect them as much as you can than see that amazing display crack, or your keys scratch the rear.

With that in mind, we have rounded up some of the best Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus cases that we have found so far. No doubt there will be more as the launch date gets closer so keep checking back as we will update this feature whenever we find another great one.
