Best Heavy Duty Cases for Galaxy S8 in 2022

The Galaxy S8 is a slender, sweet piece of glass, and if you like to live the rough-and-tumble, it needs some rugged protection to keep up with you and make through the day in one piece. We've rounded up the best rugged cases for the S8. No matter your design preference or budget, we've got a case recommendation that's right for you!

Give your phone new life with a heavy duty case

Why you can trust Android Central Our expert reviewers spend hours testing and comparing products and services so you can choose the best for you. Find out more about how we test.

So the Galaxy S8 is an older phone in 2019, but even if you're good at taking care of your phone, a heavy duty case is just a great accessory to have on hand. While there might not be too many risks to your phone in your day-to-day routine, but then there are those camping trips, music festivals, or just long nights out on the town where having a heavy-duty case can really save your glass.

I believe if you own an all-glass phone like the Galaxy S8, you'd be a fool not to keep it well protected, but then again, I can see the appeal of keeping your phone "naked." I'll first shout out the UAG Feather-light series again for being lightweight and thin enough to be compatible with wireless charging pads. Still, we also love the Spigen Tough Armor for those who want rock-solid protection along a built-in kickstand.
