Protect your Galaxy Note 10+ with these great discounted cases

The Galaxy Note 10+ packs power, precision, and productivity into a large but manageable size.

Cases are readily available from some of our favorite brands, so rest assured you can protect your new powerhouse in style.

No matter your taste, your phone needs a case

I know, I know the Note 10+ is a beautiful slab of glass, aluminum, and silicon, but please, please, please put a case on it. Even if you have insurance that’ll replace your powerhouse phone if it breaks, your phone deserves to be protected from scuffs, scratches, shatters and your slippery, sweaty butterfingers.

You can even protect your phone while still showing it off, thanks to the Ringke Fusion-X and its rugged bumper and clear back. If you prefer a more robust level of protection — and productivity — the Armadillotek Vanguard Series is heavy-duty protection with a kickstand that stays standing in vertical or horizontal mode. The new colors added for the Vanguard Series include some subdued palettes like a two-tone purple and a red/black combo.

Planning to grab a Note 10+ case on Black Friday?

It’s no secret that pretty much everything and the kitchen sink gets some kind of Black Friday deal these days, and cases are no exception, but you’re not going to be looking for $50-$100 savings like you would on a new phone or tablet. After all, most cases are regularly $10-$20. While some of the more heavy-duty cases like the ones from Lifeproof may be $20-30 dollars off, that still doesn’t get it down to a reasonable price; it just keeps you from being completely ripped off.

The best value in Black Friday case deals is going to be subjective since everyone’s case preferences are different, but there are a few general tips here that should help you find something your hand and your wallet can both enjoy. For starters, don’t take the percentage discount on the case listing as gospel: most Note 10+ cases have been sold at some kind of discount since launch day. Take the Spigen Tough Armor for example: it’s $16 at Amazon but $40 on Spigen’s website, over a 50% discount, which it’s had since the week of its launch.

That said, this is the one time of year that casemakers can start boasting deeper discounts than major retailers like Amazon and Best Buy. We’re seeing 30% off on Spigen and Skinit’s websites for Veterans’ Day, and while 30% off still won’t get Spigen’s cases to Amazon prices, 30% off is indeed a good deal for Skinit’s cool custom cases. Check back in on our Black Friday deals as we get closer to Turkey Day and the inevitable deluge of discounts.
