Samsung's new Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ sure have a stunning look to them — that edgy Infinity Display with minimal borders around it give the devices just the right amount of futuristic look. A shiny glass panel on the back adds a finishing touch to a mouth-watering design. But we all know what so much glass means — the possibility of a drop and unpleasant crack is ever-looming. It's always a good idea to have a couple of cases around and snap them on whenever you are out and about.

Spigen, being one of the biggest names in smartphone protection, has a few lines of cases ready for order, so you can be ready to wrap your device from the day it arrives. We'll be taking a look at 5 of said cases here, spanning from a clear, transparent case to the most protective armor Spigen have on stock. Check them out!

Spigen Ultra Hybrid case

Price: $13.99 – $15.99

The Ultra Hybrid line combines a colorized TPU frame and a fully transparent polycarbonate back to give you protection while still letting you peek at the device's beautiful design. Your choices of color for the frame are blue, pink, matte or glossy black, and clear.

Spigen Neo Hybrid

Price: $14.99 – $16.99

The Neo Hybrid is mostly a TPU case, but it has an extra polycarbonate frame, which snaps on top of the TPU to add extra protection and enhance the case's visual appearance thanks to adding some accents to it. It also comes in a wide variety of colors, such as black, violet, burgundy red, gunmetal gray, silver, and blue.

Spigen Rugged Armor

Price: $11.99

Going a bit more into protective territory, we've got a Spigen classic here — the Rugged Armor. Made of one whole piece of hard TPU, the case offers protective lips around all the right places and offers a pretty respectable defense, while remaining relatively slim for what it is. It's a pretty design, but only offered in black, so that may cause some to look away from it.

Spigen Slim Armor CS

Price: $16.99 – $18.99

The CS here stands for Card Slider. The Slim Armor CS looks to be a mix between a wallet and a highly protective case thanks to a slide-to-open drawer on its back, which can hold two credit card-sized objects. You've got 4 colors to choose from – black, gunmetal gray, blue, and pink.

Spigen Tough Armor

Price: $15.99 – $17.99

The toughest of the Spigen Armors consists of two layers of heavy protection – a TPU coat and a polycarbonate shell. It has a nicely rounded back for better ergonomics and a kickstand for your viewing convenience — this time around, Spigen has reinforced it in the wake of customers complaining about its fragility on older models. The case comes in gunmetal, gold, black, and blue.
