Best Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus cases

As they have done for the past few years, Samsung once again released two versions of the latest addition to the flagship Galaxy S series. This time around however, both iterations feature dual curved edge displays, so the only real differentiating factor is the display size. The larger of the two, aptly called the Galaxy S8 Plus, features a beautiful 6.2-inch display that is packed into a body that feels far more compact than that size would suggest, and comes with the same gorgeous design, features, and capabilities as its smaller sibling.

As great as the additional display real estate and the almost all-screen design are, they do make the device more susceptible to damage from accidental bumps and drops. Which is why, we’ve rounded up some of the best protective Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus cases that are currently available.

Rhinoshield Galaxy S8 Plus case

Without a doubt the Galaxy S8 is one of the most attractive phones on the market right now, so why cover up that beauty? If you want extra protection without sacrificing good looks, get one of the bumper Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus cases like those offered from Rhinoshield could be the solution.

When it comes to falls, the reality is that most of the impact pressure fails onto the sides — and so a simple thin bumper case can really make a big difference. In addition, a bumper case adds extra gripability, which considering the slippery nature of glass could really come in handy. Even better news, Rhinoshield’s top and bottom bumper are elevated, meaning that the bezels not only protect the sides, but also are able to protect the front and back from taking on the full impact of a drop.

At $24.95, the Rhinoshield is far from the cheapest case found in this list, but could be perfect if you simply want a little extra protection and grip without adding any noticeable bulk.

Poetic Affinity Galaxy S8 Plus case

The Poetic Affinity is one of the clear Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus cases that is also thin and adds no bulk to the phone. It comes with a hard polycarbonate shell and a shock absorbent TPU in a X-form design for extra corner protection. The sides feature an anti-slip ridged texture for better grip, and the inside has a ridge pattern for shock absorption. The buttons are covered, and the case features precise cutouts for the charging port, speaker, headphone jack, camera, and fingerprint scanner.

The polycarbonate shell is clear, but you get different color options for the TPU section, including clear, black, and blue. The Poetic Affinity case is currently available for the heavily discounted price of just $2.95, which makes it a fantastic option right now.

Ringke Fusion Galaxy S8 Plus case

The Ringke Fusion is another of the clear Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus cases that combines a polycarbonate body and a TPU bumper to allow you to show of the look and design of the phone.
