Have used this same Galaxy S8+ case design on a Nexus 6P and Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge in the past. This case is minimal; yet, still enough plastic and impact resistance to protect the phone if dropped from short distances. I've dropped the two other aforementioned phones from short distances (two to three feet or less) and neither the phone nor the case was damaged.
I purchased two other cases for the Galaxy S8+: The Samsung Protective Cover and the Tech 21 Impact Clear case. The Samsung Cover is a thin piece of plastic and is a complete joke for $20. Don't purchase this. I had high hopes for the Tech 21 Case. It's good but more "rubbery" and "thin" than the Spigen case reviewed here. It's nice, but the Tech 21 case cost $40 - four times more than the Spigen case.
The Spigen feels like it's better quality and allows me to grip the slippery phone better. All cut-outs are in the correct place and there is plenty of room for the fingerprint scanner, camera. headphone input, charger input, and speaker. Light, distortion or interference between the case and camera is not present when taking pictures. That is, the case will not ruin your pictures.
More importantly, the raised case lip extends above the curved screen (on the Galaxy S8+ perimeter), but not so much so to impede the screen visually. This also means you can turn your phone over and lay on a surface without scratching the phone screen. I also use the Tech 21 tempered screen protector with this case and don't have any problems with the screen protector peeling off like with other cases.
The case will not protect the phone as much as a bulky Lifeproof or Otterbox case(s) but is a good compromise between being slim and too thick.
Given the three cases above (Samsung, Tech 21and Spigen), the Spigen is far superior for only $12 and free Amazon Prime shipping at the time of this writing.

Just like my other Carbon Accent Spigen cases
Same exact build and quality as my previous Spigen Rugged case with Carbon accents for V20 and Note 5. Looking forward to getting my 8plus, but will return once the phone arrives if there are any implementation issues.Bonus with this purchase, it's fun to show my friends and coworkers the size and skinny nature of the new Sammy phone, best we can do without having the phone yet!Update 4/8/17I went to Best Buy today and found a great Samsung rep that let me try the case out with the S8+.First off, kudos to this guy, he and I chatted for a few minutes about fingerprint reader placement, facial/iris recognition, amount of pre-orders Best Buy has lined up (compared to the debacle that happened to many of us for the Note 7 release). He was great and only added to my brand loyalty.I apologize if the photos are not up to quality, I didn’t want to wear out my welcome, so tried to snap fast. Some of the pics have the other Spigen case that I had pre-ordered for you to compare (The Spigen Thin Fit).The Rugged Armor w/carbon accents went on and off easy, it’s rubberized which is a feature. This is my normal case for previous Notes and my LG V20. Solid access to buttons, clear and wide openings for power headphone jack access.Although the rugged is just like my V20 the pocket fit was much slimmer. I’m guessing a few micro bits smaller due to the seamless edge of screen allows it to be a thinner fit. Thus I LOVE the pocket difference compared to a naked phone.Back to the conversation today. They really feel that once confidence builds in the facial and iris security unlock is built up, people will rarely use the fingerprint scanner on back. One of the guys said and demoed his phone unlocking with his glasses on, very quick. He said that he checked his phone other night no glasses and it unlocked! I asked about Knox and using it with corporate MDM (we use AirWatch) and he said that it is supposed to support or surpass any company’s benchmark of security, so we shall see, but could be pretty cool.He also mentioned and then I think realized he was giving away too much… That there is an option to swipe the fingerprint left or right and it open different apps like camera. That may be out there already, but if it isn’t, could be a cool addition.Enjoy!

Nice case, definitely a good quality case and it looks fantastic. Spigen makes good stuff. Its a thin feeling case, doesn't add a ton of bulk to the phone. Top and bottom of the front of the case have just enough of a lip to keep the screen off the table or whatever you rest it on if rested screen down. All buttons are easy to push and all cutouts are where they need to be. Headphone jack and usb C cutouts are big, so there shouldn't be any issues with plugging those bulky connectors in. The case does feel good, it almost has a velvety feel to it. It can be a bit slippery to hold though. I have an IQ shield liquid skin screen protector on and the case doesn't interfere with it at all. I haven't dropped my phone, but I believe corner protection will be ok from a small fall, but side impacts will most likely crack the glass. There is a little protection on the sides, but lets face it, its curved glass, almost no case will protect the sides 100% if it hits in the right spot. I have yet to see a case maker that will guarantee your phone won't break by offering up a new phone in case of its case not protecting it. Great case, great price, definitely recommend.
