Best Cases for the Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+

[tadpoles]

I'd like a really thin shell-type case that still covers the buttons. Haven't found one yet.

Which is the most resistant?

I was all set to pick up the Spigen Rugged Armor case from Amazon - I added it to my "wish list" on the 13th so I could order it when I got home. The next day, it was no longer on Amazon! What's more, if you do a search on amazon.com for "galaxy s9 case", Spigen no longer shows up in the "brand" filters on the left, even though they still have a few s9 cases available. Spigen.com still has the case marked as available - https://www.spigen.com/products/galaxy-s9-case-rugged-armor but now I'm concerned as to why it's no longer on amazon.

I know they did something similar with s8+ cases - had them available immediately on amazon, but pulled them soon after because there were a lot of complaints about them fitting too loosely. Any ideas here? Has anybody heard anything? I know the case is only $20 (was $14 on amazon while it was there), but still hate to just throw the $$ away if something's up.

I ordered the Spigen Rugged Armor from Amazon last week and got it on Saturday. It fits my S9 perfectly, so I don't know why they would not sell it any longer. I paid about $12 or so (there was a $1 off coupon the day I ordered). Nice case.

These are the cases I'm starting with.

Those are so cute! Where did you get them from?

Just got the x-doria defense case...nice build very solid...love the speaker redirect combined with the other front facing speaker it has all the sound coming at you

I can't say it's the best and certainly not worth the retail price of $89.99 CAN but I just love the LED feature.

I got a break on the trade-in POS BlackBerry phone, Samsung gave me $200 off and 30% off accessories so I figured why not and got the Samsung LED case.

I got them all from Amazon.

I haven't heard anything but I ordered a spigen liquid crystal case from amazon before release date of the phone and now it's not available on amazon. My case fits just fine and I haven't had any issues with it so far.

I got the Kate Spade Dreamy Floral white with gems case from Best Buy. This clear case looks AMAZING over the purple S9!! Very stylish but still protects.

This is the case I had on my S7, just plastic with silver edges. It was a Samsung product, doesn't look like they are offering anything similar on their site. Does anyone have a recommendation for a fairly minimalist case?

I need something a bit more "rugged" so I have this one coming. Good reviews and "Amazon's Choice".

I use the Spigen Ultra hybrid & it looks and feels great, very minimalist.
Only thing I'm not sure of with it is how great drop protection is with it... If I'm doing anything where I think I'll need it I switch to my Bodyguardz Ace Fly. It's much thicker and I don't like the look as much but my phone fell off the table onto my concrete porch with it on(Whitestone domed glass too)... A good 5 feet with zero damage.

Looks like the Spigen cases are starting to show back up on Amazon.

Looks like the Spigen cases are starting to show back up on Amazon.

I noticed that too... Just a bit more expensive. Might be why they took them down after the S9/S9+ were released so they could hack the price up lol

Haven't seen too many people buy or at least review Bodyguardz Ace Fly. As I said before these have much better drop protection but are so thick around the edges. I don't like the square cutout for the camera & fingerprint sensor but overall this is a quality case and I like it. I like the look and feel of the Spigen Ultra hybrid better but the quality & protection of the Ace Fly seems superior - it doesn't look or feel terrible either... What's your opinion on the Bodyguardz case?

I'm usually a Spigen Ruged Armor case guy but think I'll give the Neo Hybrid a shot this time. Just wish it came in a black TPU with a red frame.
