Samsung Galaxy S8 Covers

Which types of cases fit the Samsung Galaxy S8?

There are seven common case types for the Galaxy S8 depending on how you use the phone and which protection you prioritize.

• Wallet case - covers front and back with card slots and a magnetic closure; protects the curved screen and the glossy glass back from impacts and scratches.
• Flip case - opens vertically and provides full screen and back protection; one of the most comprehensive options for versatile everyday use.
• Window case/Smart View - has a transparent window on the front for notifications without opening the case, while maintaining screen protection.
• 2-in-1 case - a detachable inner shell combined with a wallet portion that can be used together or separately.
• Slim wallet case - keeps the profile thin with room for a couple of cards without noticeably increasing the size.
• RFID-protected case - blocks skimming of contactless payment cards and suits those who carry bank or credit cards in the case.
• Leather case - made of genuine leather or PU leather for a premium feel and classic appearance.

How do I choose the right case for the Samsung Galaxy S8 based on needs and usage?

The most common choice is a case that combines protection and storage - a wallet case or flip case with a raised bezel around the screen and camera fits best.

• Protection and everyday use - flip cases and wallet cases with a raised edge protect the curved Infinity Display and the glossy glass back from drop damage and scratches in the pocket.
• Card slots and wallet function - choose the number of card slots according to your needs; RFID protection is worth prioritizing if you carry contactless payment cards in the case.
• Wireless charging - the Galaxy S8 supports Qi charging and a case without metal parts will charge without needing to be removed; the model lacks built-in magnets for snap functions.
• Stand and kickstand function - a case with a kickstand facilitates watching films and video meetings without having to hold the phone.
• Material and feel - genuine leather provides a premium grip and ages with character, while PU leather and TPU are lighter and more durable alternatives.
• Combination with screen protector - a case that is too thick can lift the edges of a screen protector and impair its adhesion to the curved screen.

How do I ensure that the case fits the Samsung Galaxy S8?

The most important thing is that the camera opening in the case matches the Galaxy S8's camera module exactly - the cutout must fit around the lens and the heart rate sensor on the back without covering them or leaving gaps. Always check that the model name is correctly indicated; the S8 should not be confused with the Galaxy S8 Plus, which is longer and wider, or the successors S9 and S10 with different dimensions and camera placement. The wrong case risks blocking buttons, ports, or parts of the camera.

Which accessories complement a case for the Samsung Galaxy S8?

A tempered glass screen protector protects the Infinity Display from scratches and cracks - choose a screen protector adapted for the S8's curved edges. A lens protector sits directly over the camera and prevents scratches on the lens. A wireless charger charges via Qi without the case needing to be removed, provided it lacks metal parts. A shell is an alternative for those who prefer slimmer protection without card slots.
