Any suggestions on a good phone case for a Samsung Galaxy S8?
I would prefer a transparent one, but a full colour one is fine as well.
Do you guys prefer a transparent one and how do they hold up? I like the aesthetic of them so was venturing into purchasing one.

I've been looking and it seems brands such as Spigen, speck, tech21, and Ringke.
Has anyone tried out these brands? What is your verdict?
(Also looking for any good glass screen protectors as the phone as a curved display)

Any other suggestions that seem relevant are acceptable as well.
Thanks for the help!

    Spigen's great; can't go wrong with them. Been using them on every phone I've gotten since my HTC 10. I go for the Ultra Hybrid

    Here's the Ultra Hybrid for the S8

    I liked the Samsung Alcantara one on my old s9

    Ringke is my go to case for every phone i've had. Clear cases are ok for a few months but they do tend to scratch up a LOT and don't look great when being constantly used unfortunately.

    I usually go for Ringke's Onyx cases, they look good for a long time and are my fav case choice. If i don't get Ringke, I also use Spigen.

    SPIGEN Neo Hybrid is probably my go-to case. It has reasonably thick bumpers that protect the phone's screen if placed screen-side down on the table and a grippy backing. However it doesn't have textured side grips — it's just smooth. That's the biggest downside. This'll probably cost you north of $25 to $30.

    SPECK impactium case is basically an overkill version of the Neo Hybrid with reinforced bumpers, textured side grips and it costs around $30~40 depending on the seller. Good all around case with the only downside being the price.

    I hate clear cases as they don't age well and they seem to pick up scratches / colours over time.

    I used UAG Plasma case with a Whitestone Dome glass on my S8. Perfect fit and glass never lifted.

    I've now moved to the Galaxy S10 and have the same combo of case and screen protector

    I can’t help you but I’m sure others will be on the case
