Samsung has finally launched its much-anticipated smartphone, the Galaxy Note 8, successor to its ill-fated Galaxy Note 7 yesterday at an event in New York. The smartphone comes with a price tag starting at $930 (varies based on the carrier) for the base variant. Pre-orders for the same have already begun and the device will start shipping on September 15 in the US.
So, if you are going to buy one or have already pre-ordered it, chances are, you also know that the Galaxy Note 8 is made of glass and needs some protection in the form of external cases. So, we at The Android Soul have decided to bring to you some of the best cases available currently.
Take a look at them below.

Samsung Alcantara Cover for Note 8
Looking for a scratch-proof or a stain-resistant case for your newly purchased Galaxy Note 8? Well, take a look at the Samsung Alcantara Cover which is made with suede-like Alcantara material. The case is covered with material both inside and outside to protect it from falls. And, the best part about the case is that you can easily clean it up with soap and water.
Samsung Protective Standing Cover for Note 8
Combining protection with productivity, the Samsung Protective Standing Cover not only safeguards your Galaxy Note 8’s display and its glass back from drops — thanks to the military-grade (MIL-STD-810G-516.7) materials used — but also allows you to stream content or make video calls hands-free with the help of a kickstand on the back.
Samsung Keyboard Cover for Note 8
Fancy a QWERTY keypad? Well, if the answer to that question is yes, you can get a QWERTY keypad for your Galaxy Note 8 with the Samsung Keyboard cover.
Essentially, it’s like any other case that offers protection to your device. The fun, however, begins when you snap a QWERTY keyboard onto the front of your Galaxy Note 8. We must say it’s a pretty useful case if you are heavy-texter. And BTW, in case you are wondering, content on your screen will automatically move up when the keyboard is attached.
Spigen Tough Armor case for Galaxy Note 8
The Spigen Galaxy Note 8 Case Tough Armor is meant for folks who need extra care and protection. The dual-layered structure helps the case maximize the shock-absorbency thereby safeguarding your Galaxy Note 8 against some heavy-duty drops. And while doing so, it offers a good grip so that you don’t drop your phone in the first place. Further, there’s also reinforced kickstand on the back to allow hands-free video viewing experience.
