The Galaxy S9 and S9+ are simply dazzling, begging you to show them off, but since it’s essentially made of glass, you’re going to want to cover the breakable bits with a case. Never fear, clear cases are here! There are a lot of ways to do a clear case, and whether you want one that shines bright like a diamond or one that’s as tough as one, there’s a clear case here for you.
Go beyond
Spigen Ultra Hybrid Case
- $12 (S9) at Amazon
- $13 (S9+) at Amazon
If you want a clear case that goes beyond, get Plus Ultra! with the Spigen Ultra Hybrid. This case works with phone grips and wireless charging effortlessly, and since the bumpers here are a matte color rather than a metallic, the phone inside looks even shiner by comparison.
Runner-up
Catalyst Impact Protection Case
- $40 (S9) at Amazon
- $40 (S9+) at Amazon
Catalyst’s first Samsung case looks great, has incredibly tactile buttons, and offers fantastic protection from all angles without making the S9 overly bulky. Bold accents around the camera and fingerprint sensor add a wonderful pop of contrast to the back of the phone.
Style and shine
Spigen Liquid Crystal Case
- $11 (S9 Clear) at Amazon
- $10 (S9+ Clear) at Amazon
Spigen’s Liquid Crystal is a lightweight delight for the S9 that lets the bold Samsung branding shine through while obscuring scuffs, smudges, and identifying information of the back of the phone. The Liquid Crystal case is a breeze to apply and work perfectly with phone grips.
Metallic magic
Caseology Skyfall Series Clear Case
- $12 (S9) at Amazon
- $13 (S9+) at Amazon
Featuring a durable ultra clear cover to protect the back of your phone along with a protective bumper frame (available in colors to match your device), Skyfall’s slim case will perfectly accent your phone and keep it protected without distracting from the phone itself.
Strap up
Ringke Fusion Clear Case
- $12 (S9) at Amazon
- $11 (S9+) at Amazon
The best way to protect your phone from drop damage is to not drop your phone, so Ringke’s Fusion case includes a handy, built-in wrist strap. It’s a thoughtful addition to a clear case that’s as easy on the eyes as it is to use all day and night.
Durable and dazzling
Zizo ION Series Clear Case
- $14 (S9) at Amazon
- $14 (S9+) at Amazon
Need a clear case that doesn’t skimp on protection? How about a rugged polycarbonate bumper hugging a flexible TPU shell, and a complementary tempered glass screen protector? That should cover the glass on the front and the back.
I’m a fan of clear cases because they let me show off my shiny S9+. The regular Spigen Liquid Crystal is pretty and clear, and if you really want to get a lot of bang-for-your-buck, the Zizo ION Series is a great choice, too. If you like your clear cases a little more rigid, the Spigen Ultra Hybrid and its well-tinted bumpers are just the perfect balance of flexible yet securely grippy.
