It’s hard to go wrong with a Spigen case, and one of our favorite series, the Neo Hybrid, got a redesign this year, which replaces the old Herringbone texture with a new wavy texture that’s supposed to offer even more grip. This case is still drop dead awesome, and it comes in four fierce colors including a lovely Arctic Silver!

Anccer Ultra Thin Fit

I know there are some people out there who don’t like to put a case on their brand new phone. To those people, I implore you to consider this ultra thin case. It won’t add any unnecessary bulk to your phone, but it will keep it safe from pocket scuffs and scratches — or worse. It’s also available as a clear case or your choice of four colors to match your new phone or signature palette.

Whitestone has made huge waves in the accessory space with its high-priced premium Dome Glass screen protectors.

Film screen protectors offer a more affordable option for protecting your phone’s display, and IQ Shield makes some of the best you can buy.

Samsung has once again upped the game by including 128GB as the lowest possible amount of storage on the S10. That should be more than enough for most, but if you want to double your storage or import a ton of media to your phone, Samsung’s own microSD cards are reliable and affordably priced.
