5 Best Galaxy S9 & S9+ Tough & Rugged Armor Cases!

By

Samsung launched its Galaxy S9 and S9+ handsets in February during MWC 2018, with both variants boasting rear and front glass panels. If you want to keep your new handset looking as good as new, it’s probably a good idea to get a case wrapped around the rear panel at the very least. While we’ve covered slim and folio cases for Samsung’s Galaxy S9 and S9+, sometimes you need a case that offers substantially more protection when you are out and about, so here are the best heavy-duty cases for your Galaxy S9 and S9+ that we could find.

1. X-Doria Defense Lux Premium - Price: $35

Besides a cool name, the X-Doria Defense Lux Premium case offers military-grade protection (MIL-STD-810) with its machined aluminum exterior offering guarding against 10-foot drops. A soft inner layer keeps the Galaxy S9 or S9+ snug while the outer casing protects against bumps and the raised lip protects the display against drops and surface scratches. Priced at $34.95 from Amazon, the X-Doria Defence Premium Lux can be had in Black Carbon Fiber or Ballistic Nylon.
