Now, this also comes with the disadvantage that the phone is slippery, so it is easy to drop it by accident.

Ultra Hybrid
The first case that we are going to look at is the Ultra Hybrid. This case comes with a clear back made of Polycarbonate and a soft TPU bumper which makes it shock-absorbing and flexible. The one that I have here comes with a matte black finished bumper, but it is also available in Midnight black and Crystal clear via Amazon.
Looking at the inside of the case, we can see that all corner have the Air Cushion technology which takes all the shock from everyday impacts. All cutouts are precise, and there is enough room for the headphone jack and the USB connection. Looking at the buttons, we can see that they are raised, and when pressing them, they feel very responsive. The top and bottom of the front of the case are also raised to protect the screen from scratches when laying on a table.
The cleared back of the case preserves the original look of the phone. It is also great if you want to customize the phone with a particular skin from dbrand.
Something to be aware of with this case is that the cleared back is prompt to get fingerprints and the corners are also not raised to protect the back from scratches. Also, Clear cases usually to turn yellow over time so definitely something to have in mind before purchasing.
In overall, this case provides good protection without adding that much bulkiness, and you can get it for around $16 on Amazon.
Tough Armor & Hybrid Armor
Next, we have the Tough Armor and the Hybrid Armor. Both cases are very similar to each other with some small differences. The both have a dual-layer design made of a Polycarbonate shell and a shock-absorbing TPU inner layer which provides excellent protection. They are military grade, and also comes with Air Cushion Technology on all corners.
All the cutouts are precise as well on both cases. The buttons on the Tough Armor are flushed to the case but still provides excellent tactile feedback. The Bixby button is easy to find or to avoid thanks to a different texture that differentiates it from the volume buttons. Now on the Hybrid Armor, the buttons are raised from the rest of the case making them easy for your fingers to find. However, the Bixby button does have a different texture to differentiate it from the volume buttons.
The top and bottom of the front of both cases are also raised to protect the screen and camera from any scratches. Another key difference between both cases is that on the Tough Armor, we can see the added kickstand which is convenient for watching media. However, the kickstand is not available in the Hybrid Armor.
The cutouts for the camera, fingerprint and heart rate sensor are precise and easily accessible on both cases.
If you are looking for a case that provides a little more protection but it is still slim, the Tough Armor and the Hybrid Armor are definitely good choices.
The Tough Armor comes in a variety of colors like Gunmetal, Black, Coral Blue, Graphite Gray and more, and the price range in Amazon is between $17 and $19. Now the Hybrid Armor comes only in Graphite gray like this one, Black, and Gunmetal. Moreover, the price range is between $15 and $16.

Rugged Armor
Now, let’s take a look at one of my favorite cases, the Rugged Armor which is a lightweight case that still provides military-grade protection with a shock-absorbing TPU material, and Air Cushion technology on all corners.
The Rugged Armor only comes in a matte black finish which is fingerprint resistant, and it also has a carbon fiber design on the top and bottom of the back which complements the overall look of the case. All cutouts are still precise and easily accessible. The case has fully covered and raised buttons that provide excellent tactile feedback.
The Bixby button has a different texture that makes it easy to differentiate from the volume buttons. This was something not included in last year’s Galaxy S8 version of the case, so it is positively an excellent addition to this years model. The top and bottom of the front of the case have raised edges adding protection from scratches to the screen and camera.
In overall, the Rugged Armor feels nice in the hands, and the small form factor still provides good protection. You can get this case from Amazon for just $14.

It is made of shock-absorbent TPU material and a Polycarbonate bumper frame giving it military grade protection. The front of the case has raised edges to protect the screen from small scratches. All the cutouts are precise and easily accessible as usual.
The buttons are fully covered and raised from the rest of the case and still provides tactile feedback when pressed. Looking at the back of the case, we can see the matte black pattern design which is fingerprint resistant, and at the same time, it gives it a nice modern look.
