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.
Style and shine
Spigen Liquid Crystal Case
Staff pick
- $12 (S9 Clear) at Amazon
- $11 (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.
Go beyond
Spigen Ultra Hybrid Case
- $13 (S9) at Amazon
- $14 (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.
Extra Protection
Otterbox Symmetry Case
- $19 (S9) at Amazon
- $12 (S9+ Clear) at Amazon
Otterbox leads the way with some of the most protective cases for an array of devices, including the Galaxy S9 and S9+. The Symmetry offers a sleek design, allowing you to see all of your device while keeping it protected. Plus, there’s a limited lifetime warranty in the event that something happens to the Symmetry while it’s in use.
Metallic magic
Caseology Skyfall Series Clear Case
- $13 (S9) at Amazon
- $12 (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), Caseology’s Skyfall 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.
Show it off
Even though they’re a generation old at this point, Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ are some of the best looking handsets that money can buy. That said, you’ll likely want to show off your phone and there’s no better way than with the Spigen Liquid Crystal Case. This case is ultra-slim and sports Spigen’s Air Cushion technology to protect all corners of the device.
However, if you’re OK with adding a little bit extra bulk, you’ll want to check out the Otterbox Symmetry Case. Otterbox is an industry-leader in protective cases and for good reason as the sleek design keeps your Galaxy S9 looking good and more than protected.
There are plenty of other cases out there, so if you decide you’re looking for something a bit different, check out some of the other Galaxy S9 and S9+ out there.
