9 of the best leather cases you can get for your Galaxy Note 8

2017 has been a great year for Samsung and its fans — the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ are great phones that dominate the mainstream, while power users finally got a Note that is available worldwide and doesn't catch fire — the marvelous Note 8.

It's a jewel of technology, sporting cutting-edge hardware, tucked under a luxurious shell. The Note 8 is a glass-and-metal sandwich, which is as shiny as it is large and slippery. So, you may be thinking “I need to slap a case on that!”.

But what case is luxurious enough to match the premium build of the Note 8? Plastic just... doesn't feel as great. Well, how about a leather case? Here are a few we find to be quite cool-looking that will protect your Note 8 without detracting from its style!

Superstart cow leather case

Here's a classic case for you — a nice shell, dressed in leather with a couple of card-sized pockets on the outside to hold something with your phone. It's also pretty cool that it comes in 6 different colors and is fairly cheap to boot!

Mangix flip leather wallet

This is more of the wallet variety. It offers a single card pocket on the inside, making it a bit slimmer than other wallet cases, and there's no magnet in the flap, keep in mind. But it also comes in 4 distinct colors, which is always a plus.

Ringke Flex S Advanced

This Ringke case is a TPU shell with a faux leather texture laid on top, adorned by a unique wave-like pattern. We can definitely see this as being a love-it-or-hate-it kind of look, but there's no denying it's quite unique! Comes in 6 colors to pick from!

Real-Eagle Style B wallet

Another take on the wallet case style, this Real-Eagle case has its own twist with pockets both on the inside and outside of the flip cover. Metal caps and accented stitches round off its unique look and a magnetic latch is there to keep the case closed until you actually want to open it. Also available in Style A, which is a bit more simplistic.

Lumion Dandy Wallet

A 3-pocket wallet built with TPU and leather. The back has some nice accents showing, but it's a pretty minimalistic design all around. Unfortunately, it only comes in two color variations, but we quite fancy the red-on-black one.

Pierre Cardin leather case

A more minimalistic shell, which has cutouts that grant you access to the phone's own buttons and generally lets you feel “more of the phone”. The case itself has a very cool, unique look and comes in three different colors.
