If you’ve just spent the best part of £800/$900 on a brand new Galaxy S8, chances are you’ll want to keep it in decent condition

When it comes to phone cases, you’re kind of spoilt for choice.

There are – quite literally – thousands of potential options available to you, especially if you’re running an iPhone or the latest Samsung Galaxy S8 handset.

Prices range wildly and so too does the quality of these cases as you move up and down the RRP scale. But if you’re looking for a solid case option for the Samsung Galaxy S8, there are a few places that you need to check out.

You might not have heard of some of these retailers and/or case makers, but once you’ve seen the product they have on offer you will definitely remember them, as they’re all unique, high-quality cases that will stand the test of time.

I don’t like to push my own tastes on the readers of KYM; things I like, you might find repulsive, and vice versa. So, rather than simply listing a bunch of Galaxy S8 cases, I have taken the liberty of highlighting retailers and brands that I think you should be looking at.

Society6


My outright favourite place to buy phone cases is Society6. Why? Simple: ALL the designs are created by independent artists, so you have plenty to choose from and the designs are truly brilliant.

Every time I go back to the site there’s new stuff; and they don’t just do phones, either – you can get pillow cases, lamp shades, laptop sleeves and pretty much everything else in between.

If you’re looking for a case that is unique, well-made and seriously eye-catching be sure to check out Society6’s extensive range of Samsung Galaxy S8 cases.

Tech21


These cases are pricy, but they will definitely get the job done and ensure your Galaxy S8 is protected at all times.

The range of cases available isn’t as extensive or interesting as Society6’s, but what Tech21’s lineup lacks in choice, it more than makes up for in overall durability and simple, get-out-the-way-design.

If you’re looking for something simple, sturdy and to the point, Tech21’s Galaxy S8 case lineup is definitely worth a look.

Direct From Samsung


If you want to go the proprietary route, you can pick up a selection of very compelling cases from Samsung itself.

Samsung has seven Galaxy S8 cases available and one even comes with a detachable QWERTY keyboard. Personally, I like the 2Piece Cover the most, as it is really unusual and makes the handset look really different.

All the Samsung Brand cases are available in a range of colour options, so even the most picky of users should be able to find a case to match their own, personal tastes.
