3 Best Samsung Galaxy S8 Cases

Power your phone and show off your style. There’s a whole range of cases and accessories made just for Galaxy S8.

1. Defender Shockproof Protective Case for Samsung Galaxy S8

At first, I was skeptical about the fit. When I took the case out of the packaging, the gold part fell right off. I was scared that my phone could slip out if the it ever fell off while I was using my phone. However, once on your phone the case is snug. There is no way that bottom part is falling off without you intentionally pulling on it.

All of the cut outs align perfectly with the buttons and I am able to use my charger and headphones with the case on. The case is not “ultra thin” but it’s a good size that does not make your phone feel bulky. The coral and gold colors are the exact shade as they are in the picture. The layer of felt/cloth inside the case is a nice touch. It feels so soft and will definitely help keep the back of your phone scratch free.

I use my phone all the time. It also spends a lot of time flying around in my purse. I’ve had it for a week so far and I don’t see any discoloring or scratches on the case yet. I will keep you updated if/when I do see something.

Overall I’m very happy with the case. It looks classy and protects your phone very well. The quality of this case is great.

2. Slim Leather Case Flip Cover for Samsung Galaxy S8

Usually, they are simply as expected and don’t warrant anything being said. That is not the case for this product. First, the packaging is fantastic. The box looks and feels really good. The case itself comes in a little felt pouch which I thought classed up the joint a bit. There is also a little card thanking the customer for purchase and giving warranty details. Very nice touch.

The wallet itself is great. I bought this one specifically because I tend to break screens and a portfolio case is the only way I have found to keep from doing that. I do not plan to keep cards or money in this wallet as I have a small wallet that I really like, so I can not speak to that portion of this product. However, I can say that without cards in the wallet, the magnet is very strong. I have the utmost confidence that I will not be breaking this screen while my phone is in the case. The stand portion seems to work fine. I have a feeling it will be even better once I break in the leather a bit more.

I really like my S8e, and only issue has been finding the right screen protection and case that works! Problem is whatever screen protector applied would have edges popped up when typical cases were installed making the screen protector bubbled to the point of wanting to rip it off the device. So decided to try a flip wallet cover again to use without a screen protector and let the wallet flap be the protector . Problem with past flip wallets I have tried on previous devices is the “clasp” or magnetic closure was a pain, and made slipping the phone in and out of a pocket difficult. Bottom line on case is it has clean minimal lines, good looks, fits in pocket easily, slim profile, and simply just works well. Since it is new can not attest to durability- only thing could be the point of wear on the leather at the “hinge” ? Just will have to see how it holds up!

3. England Series Leather Cover Case for Samsung Galaxy S8

This is a back cover and not a full phone case so if you are considering this you (hopefully) understand that this offers minimal protection from drops. If you want that, go with an Otter Box or one of the Spigen armor cases. That said, I wanted a case for my new S8 that offered a little more grip and would offer some protection. I also wanted something that would work with the wireless charging feature of the S8.

The case is still new but appears to be well made, fairly rigid and fits surprisingly well. All buttons are easily accessible and the fit is great but not too tight to take off. The leather has just enough grip when compared with just the phone without case.

I love this case. Fits great, looks really nice and the quality is pretty good. It’s rubbery enough that it seems like it should offer pretty decent drop protection. Also there isn’t any cheesy looking logo stamped anywhere, giving the case an understated, classy look. The case fits great over the buttons and doesn’t hinder functionality in any noticable way. I bought three cases when I got my new S8 and this is by far the best. Highly recommended.

HUAWEI P10 Hands-on Review

I’ve said this many times: Huawei makes great phones. They’re built to last and their software won’t cause you many headaches after you get used to it. All the Huawei phones I’ve tested in the last couple of years worked very well, even after I’ve been using them a while (which can’t be said for many Android phones).

But while the company’s latest flagship, the Huawei P10, follows in that path, it has one pretty big flaw: it’s boring. It doesn’t bring any truly exciting features, and it’s not even keeping pace with competitors.

There’s no huge screen. No waterproof design. No significant design changes compared to the last year’s model, the Huawei P9.

The only major change between this model and that one is the placement of the fingerprint sensor, which also replaces Android menu buttons, from the back of the phone to its front.

That’s right: When every other major phone maker is removing buttons from the front of their flagships, Huawei is actually adding one.

HUAWEI P10

A new button and little else

So let’s start with the fingerprint sensor. It’s a nice thing: No moving parts, resides under the glass, reads your fingerprints fast, and after a while it’s nearly as good as using the standard Android menu buttons (which can be enabled in the settings).

But does it offer any advantages over the onscreen buttons? Absolutely not. It’s located right below the screen, so it prevents Huawei from making the screen any larger, contrasted by the big screen of the LG G6, which also launched during this year’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

The button’s “home” and “back” gestures (a simple long and short presses) worked well, but getting the recent tasks to show up — which is supposed happen when you swipe the button left or right — didn’t always happen for me.

Regardless of your experience, the button is just another way to do things, and perhaps it’s a mid-step toward actually placing the fingerprint sensor under the screen. And while that would be pretty cool (Apple is rumored to be planning something like that for its next iPhone), it’s not here now, and I don’t really care for learning new gestures to perform the simplest of operations on the phone.

Beyond the button, the design of the phone can best be described by an anecdote. When Huawei handed out the review units to journalists in Barcelona, absolutely everyone opted for the blue one. Why? Because it’s the only one that stands out — the standard white and silver colors look bland.

Don’t get me wrong: The Huawei P10 is a nice-looking device. But besides that button on the front, and a rougher surface on the back that prevents slippage, it’s very similar to the P9, which is in turn very similar to the P8. It’s an OK design that won’t wow anyone, and it’s getting pretty old.

HUAWEI P10

A healthy mix of features

Specs-wise, the P10 is actually a hybrid between the P9 and Huawei’s bigger flagship, the Mate 9. It has all the Mate 9’s innards: the Kirin 960 chipset, the 20-megapixel monochrome/12-megapixel color camera combo, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage.

On the outside, the P10 is more similar to the P9, but it has a smaller screen — 5.1 vs. 5.2 inches. It’s once again a full HD (1080p) screen — a notch down from the current flagships, which typically boast 2,560 x 1,440 resolution. If you want that many pixels, look towards the 5.5-inch Huawei P10 Plus, which I haven’t had a chance to try out yet. It also has a slightly larger battery (3,200 vs. 3,000 mAh), a nice improvement but not one that will make you rush to buy it.

With GeekBench 4 benchmarks, the Huawei P10 performed a little better than the (already great) Huawei Mate 9. Its multi-core score was the best around, while the single-core score lagged only behind Apple’s iPhone.

There’s absolutely nothing bad about these specs; in fact, the Huawei P10 performs great and has never felt slow in daily use, no matter what I threw at it. But there’s also nothing entirely new; it’s essentially the Mate 9 in a smaller body.

Software gets smarter

The Huawei P10 comes with Android 7.0 and the latest version of Huawei’s UI software, EMUI 5.1. You won’t notice many visual differences compare to EMUI 5.0, which was introduced on the Huawei Mate 9.

For this version of the software, Huawei decided to focus on performance. The phone now responds to touches quicker and even prepares the next app you might want to use in advance for an even faster response. A feature called Ultra Memory is a RAM optimizer that learns from your usage habits and frees the RAM from the stuff you probably won’t need.

One new feature that will be familiar to anyone who’s ever used Google Photos is Highlights. The phone will automatically sort your photos and create highlight reels of the best ones; this happens in the background when the phone is idle, so you don’t have to worry about slowdowns. To see how it works, open the Gallery app and tap on the Discover tab.

Generally, I like the last few iterations of EMUI and the new version is not an exception. It’s solid, stable, easy to get used to and fairly unobtrusive. Die-hard stock Android fans might disagree, though.

An evolutionary upgrade

There’s absolutely nothing bad about this phone. It’s a hybrid of last year’s P9’s size and the newer Mate 9’s features, and it looks OK and performs great.

That said, there are few innovations here, and the new fingerprint sensor is not reason enough to go for this phone — in fact, I’m not even sure it’s a step forward.

Furthermore, while competitors such as LG are showing waterproof phones with beautiful, large screens, Huawei appears to be lagging behind. The price is 649 euros in Europe, which is on par with top Android flagships and a hundred euros cheaper than the iPhone 7. But it is also a whopping 100 euros more expensive than its predecessor, the Huawei P9, was at launch, and I don’t see how that price jump is warranted with what the P10 has to offer.

Huawei P10

The Good

Good specs – Great build quality

The Bad

Too similar to its predecessor – New fingerprint sensor isn’t an improvement – Pricey

The Bottom Line

The Huawei P10 is an all-around solid phone, but it does not stand out in the crowd.
