The Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ are starting to ship, and picking up a new phone means picking up a new phone case. While it may seem like a shame to cover up that gorgeous display with a case, it's an even bigger shame when you drop your new phone and smash it to bits.

If you've got an S8 (or the larger S8+) and need something to protect it, there are already plenty of cases on the market. While we haven't seen these cases in person—and crucially don't know how well they play with the S8's rear-mounted fingerprint sensor—these are from brands like Spigen, Caseology, and Samsung itself, so they're from makers we know and trust.
