The best Samsung Galaxy S9 cases to keep your new phone safe, looking good

Samsung’s gorgeous new Galaxy S9 retains the curved beauty of last year’s S8, but adds a new main camera with a dual aperture that promises to deliver great low-light photography. The design is refined, with a much better fingerprint sensor placement on the back, and it’s IP68 rated, like its predecessor, but this is still going to be a fragile phone.

The good news is that we’ve got a delectable lineup of stylish and protective options. Behold the best Galaxy S9 cases so far.

Incipio DualPro Case ($30)

If you’re worried about cracking that curved display, then this dual-layer case is a sound investment. This has been one of Incipio’s best-selling cases for a decade now — and with good reason. It covers the S9 from every angle, with a protective lip around the screen, tactile button covers, and generous openings for the camera, fingerprint sensor, and ports. It boasts an understated style in matte iridescent colors, including blue, lilac, and rusted gold.

Speck Presidio Folio Case ($45)

We’re big fans of Speck’s Presidio Grip case, but for the S9 we’re recommending this new Folio case. You get the same excellent drop protection for falls from up to 10 feet, and the cover provides complete coverage and also folds back to act as a landscape stand. Inside the cover, there’s a hidden slot that opens to reveal space for three cards. It’s durable, protective, and comes in black, red, or blue, all paired with gray.

Tech21 Evo Max Case ($45)

With a three-layer protection system that offers drop protection from up to 14 feet, you can relax when your Galaxy S9 is wearing the Tech21 Evo Max case. The polycarbonate shell combines with Tech21’s proprietary Flexshock material to safeguard your Samsung smartphone. It’s a slim case considering the level of protection on offer, and it has all the cutouts you need for easy access. Aside from black, this case comes in a range of colors including Smokey Dahlia, Devine Blue, Orchid, and Poker Green.

Snakehive Vintage Leather Wallet Case ($30)

Leather is comfortable to hold and attractive, so it makes a good material for a phone case. These cases are crafted from quality Nubuck leather in a range of colors. The wallet-style design wraps around your S9 to offer complete protection. The cover has a secure magnetic clasp and can fold back to act as a landscape stand. You’ll also find three slots for credit cards and a larger pocket at the back.

Griffin Survivor Clear Case ($20)

When you buy a gorgeous phone like the Galaxy S9, you don’t want to conceal it, but you do need protection. Aclear case can be a great compromise. This Griffin case is affordable, transparent, and offers solid drop protection from 4 feet, even on to concrete. Military drop-test standards can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, but Griffin is a name you can trust. This case has extra reinforcement around the frame to absorb impact shock.
