Benefits of Using the Best Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus Cases

With a sleek 6.2-inch display and gorgeous curves, the Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus proves that big can be beautiful – but also breakable. If this precious possession slips from your hand, cracks and scratches can mar the glass exterior, and chips and dents can slowly destroy the metal frame. We all know that these repairs aren’t cheap, so it makes perfect sense to take precautions. If that’s what’s on your mind, you’re just in the right place – here’s a list of the best Galaxy S8 Plus cases and their benefits, whether you’re into rugged protection or something sleeker.

LifeProof FRE

We all know the S8 and the S8 Plus are both IP68 rated but this case takes waterproofness to the next level as it is also dirt- and snow-proof. The LifeProof FRE Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus case is able to keep your device safe for one hour, two meters underwater. Although it’s a pretty bulky case, the ports and features are easily accessible and wireless charging works like a charm with the case on. It comes in three oddly named colours called, twilight’s edge purple, asphalt black, and second wind grey.

Speck Presidio Grip

The simple yet stylish design of the Presidio Grip has been tested to survive a 3-meter drop, at least that’s what the people over at Speck say. The rigged back and the raised guards also make it unique as the former gives you a solid grip while the latter keeps the bezels and the screen from cracking open. Although this Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus case is quite thick, it doesn’t interfere with wireless charging or NFC payments. It also comes with button covers and easily accessible ports but the feature that makes this case truly unique is IMPACTIUM. This is Speck’s own shock absorbent material which covers the whole case including the raised edges.

i-Blason

This case has an adage resistant back with a textured TPU bumper to protect the curved screen and bezels from accidental falls. The i-Blason comes with interchangeable inserts which allow you to attach a holster with a rotating belt clip. Despite its thickness, the i-Blason has precise port cutouts as well as ergonomic button covers. This Armorbox case is available in five different colours – green, pink, black, blue and white.

Tech 21 Evo Go

I have to say that the leather trim on the back of this case definitely gives it a plain look but there are plenty of features that aren’t that obvious in this case. The main feature is the Flexshock material which comes with 3-layer impact protection that helps withstand 3-meter drops. Alongside the Flexshock materials, this military certified case also has a secret compartment for your credit cards which closes magnetically. Other than that, this is just a typical rugged case acting shy.

Elago Sleek Finish

This is a company that is not that present in the case world but they’ve really nailed the design of their S8 plus case. There’s this simple yet eye-catching finish that makes the phone very sleek and minimalistic while accentuating the camera piece, buttons, and fingerprint scanner. The blend of polycarbonate and thermoplastic polyurethane give it dual protection from scratches and drops but LEXAN Resin the material that makes it special. This is a material used by NASA, the NFL and in bulletproof glass, meaning that it makes this case extremely durable. Plus, the manufacturer provides a one-year warranty with an included replacement.

Samsung LED View

The simple design of this case is Samsung’s way of making things look sleek while picking some unique features. This case makes the phone even easier to work with as it shows the time and alarms directly on the case with the use of LEDs. The front cover of the case also acts as a touchpad allowing you to reject and answer calls without having to flip it over. Apart from that, it provides enough protection from the occasional bump and light scratches. The LED notifications are displayed once you press the phone’s power button.

UAG Pathfinder

The rugged design of the Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus case makes it look heavy but the UAG Pathfinder is very light despite being shock resistant and drop test certified by military standards. The heavily textured pattern is ideal for those of you who want a more military look, which extends on the side of the case for a better grip. Although being rugged, this case provides excellent port openings and button covers that do not hinder the phone’s performance in any way.

Zizo Bolt

This is the case to have if you are all about drop protection, shock absorption, and futuristic looks. The Zizo Bolt thicks all three boxes since it can survive a 3.6-meter fall, comes with a 9H screen protector and it has been 810.1-G Miltary Grade tested. The bolt sign of the back gives it that futuristic look together with the kickstand. This is a series of cases rather than a case, so don’t get confused when it arrives in your mailbox.
