Even by today’s standards, the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is a powerful device that may still be your smartphone of choice. With an impressive octa-core Snapdragon 835 processor and a whopping 6GB of RAM, it packs serious hardware into a sleek phablet form factor.
Unfortunately, this could be one of the last Notes. Recent reports suggest that Samsung may soon discontinue the line in favor of its foldable devices. If this is the case, you’ll want to protect yours as much as possible. Fortunately, we’ve tested some of the best Note 8 cases to protect your smartphone from the elements and unwanted bumps. Some even have special features to enhance your mobile experience. Here are our favourites.
Ghostek Atomic Slim Case
If you want a futuristic looking case that offers the best protection for your Note 8, look no further than Ghostek’s Atomic Slim Case. Its eye-catching design features a silver-red bezel with a transparent back, so you can still highlight the Note 8’s rear camera module. For protection, it combines strong (yet lightweight) aluminum with a thin inner TPU lining ( a type of plastic), providing a combination of flexibility and strength. There’s also a non-slip handle, a scratch-resistant back, and a raised bumper to protect your phone’s screen. Best of all, the case is 12-foot drop tested, so you can drop it through first-floor windows to your heart’s content. It supports wireless charging.
Samsung Rugged Military Protection Mask
Most rugged armor-style cases tend to look a bit over the top, but this official Samsung Note 8 case is about as stylish as you can get without turning your phone into a small storage tank. It looks surprisingly elegant despite the jagged design and grainy surfaces, with a case that fits the phone perfectly. It’s important to note that it’s drop and impact tested to US MIL-STD-810G standards, which means it can withstand drops from significant heights. If that’s not enough, the built-in kickstand means you can watch media and chat with friends hands-free, making it highly functional.
Noreve Tradition E leather case

Leather is a durable material that ages gracefully and feels good in the hand. French case maker Noreve uses the finest leather, and this is the most minimalist case they offer. A simple leather-wrapped thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) shell encases your Note 8, protecting it from scratches and bumps. There are generous cutouts for the keys and the top and bottom are open, and while the edge of the case extends past the screen, we wouldn’t rely on it for heavy-duty protection. You can opt for different leather textures in a wide range of colors. Prices can go up significantly as you search for Nore’s premium materials, but the quality is excellent.
ProCase Wallet Folding Case

ProCase has a solid reputation for developing protective cases and organizers for all types of devices. The best of both worlds comes with this flip case for the Note 8. A flip case made of genuine leather keeps your phone in place with a hard case that fits snugly. The interior flap has three separate card slots and a large full-length cash pocket. Also, you can use it as a kickstand to prop up your phone in landscape orientation. The nature of the design provides privacy with the ability to cover the Note 8’s always-on display, if you have it turned on. We love the classic brown look, but it’s also available in black and red.
RhinoShield CrashGuard Bumper
We’re big fans of minimalist cases that don’t completely mask your phone’s original design, and this RhinoShield bumper fits nicely into that category. It’s pretty thick, but it’s just a frame that runs from front to back to ensure your Note 8 doesn’t hit the ground if it falls. The bumper is strong enough to protect against drops of up to 12 feet. We used one with our Note 5 for months and it survived more than one drop unscathed. The port holes are oversized for easy access, and the button covers work well, once loosened a bit.
Tech21 Evo Tactical Bag
After seeing tech21’s test methods first hand, we know they take fall protection very seriously. The Evo Tactical has a clever design that surrounds the frame of your Note 8, effectively providing three layers of protection and ensuring that your phone can withstand drops of up to 10 feet without a trace. Despite this level of protection, the case is quite thin and light. There are large openings for easy access to ports, cameras, and other features. You’ll also find button covers and raised edges at the top and bottom to protect the screen. Although it only comes in black, Tech21 has added a designer trim to the back with a geometric pattern that is also textured to create an interesting look and enhance your posture.
Olixar FlexiCover Case
Things don’t get much simpler than this clear soft gel case from Olixar. It’s very thin, so it won’t offer much protection against drops, but its front and back covers should guard against scratches and dirt. Full-body protection still leaves perfect openings for all your phone’s ports, speakers, and cameras so you can use your Note 8 without distraction. The non-slip coating also provides extra grip, meaning your phone is less likely to slip out of your hand when you’re wearing this skin.
Speck Presidio Carrying Case
Particle
It’s hard to find cases that combine style and reliability with smart design like this. This is a protective case that combines a hard polycarbonate shell with a shock absorbing rubber material that will protect your Note 8 from drops up to 10 feet. The flexible material is also used to create a series of ridges on the outside that give it an interesting look but, perhaps most importantly, seriously improve your posture. This graphite gray version really lends itself to showcasing the case design, but it’s also available in several other colors.
Case-Mate Clear Hard Case

Want more peace of mind without masking Samsung’s beautiful design? The Case-Mate Tough Clear case can do just that by adding scratch resistance and impressive drop protection up to 10 feet. The clear case has flexible sides for a better grip on the large Note 8. There’s also added cushioning in the corners specifically to cushion bumps and odd-angle drops. The metallic finish of the integrated button covers also adds a unique touch to your phone. Ultimately, it’s a slim and subtle case that will still provide essential protection.
Moment Galaxy bag
The Note 8 is a phone worth keeping for years. That kind of dedication can make features like the camera obsolete as new phones keep coming. This is where Moment comes into play. Its modular housing system allows you to connect a collection of lenses and filters to the Note 8’s cameras for added versatility. There is also a slot at the bottom of the case to attach a wrist strap for quick access to your phone while taking lots of photos or videos. You get solid protection with a polycarbonate frame wrapped in a grip-enhancing rubberized outer shell. It’s rated for drops of up to six feet onto hardwood and has a raised front lip to protect your screen. US walnut makes a stylish inset in this standout model (lens not included). There is also a box version with a black canvas insert.
Spigen Rugged Armor Case
This flexible TPU case is easy to install and offers enough protection to protect your Note 8 from drop damage if dropped from pocket height. The cutouts are perfect and the keys feel nice, with a textured finish on the power button helping it stand out. The top and bottom come away from your phone’s screen to protect it from scratches and cracks. What really makes this case are the carbon fiber panels on the back and the shiny details that elevate the overall look, turning an affordable TPU case into something a bit more stylish.
UAG Monarch Series Case
Urban Armored Teams
If you need extra strong protection for your Galaxy Note 8, you’ll probably like cases from Urban Armor Gear. The Monarch series has the usual UAG industrial look, adding leather panels and metal alloy elements to a lightweight yet strong plastic frame. This case has passed military drop test standards with flying colors, so rest assured that your Note 8 is safe if it falls. You’ll have no trouble finding and protecting your buttons with large, raised covers, and the battery and audio ports will be clearly visible and unobstructed. You can be sure that no part of your phone will be exposed to direct contact if you drop it because its surfaces are thick and robust with corners that protrude in all directions. This Note 8 case won’t interfere with Samsung Pay or fast wireless charging.
