The 7 Best Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra Cases
Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra is an impressive piece of hardware—and it should be considering it’s also Samsung’s highest performing tablet to date. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra displays at a resolution of 2960x1848 on a 14.6-inch AMOLED screen, running on a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor and up to 16GB of RAM.
It not only looks great, especially the display, and performs wonderfully, but the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra is also quite pricey. We’re talking top-of-the-line expensive. If you’re fortunate enough to get your hands on one, you should definitely slide a case over it.
Here are the best Samsung Galaxy S8 Ultra cases available right now.
1. Samsung Protective Standing Cover for Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra
The last thing you’d want happening to your precious (and expensive) Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra Tablet is watching it fall to the floor, all because the surface was a tad too smooth. And what better case to serve your Samsung tablet well than with a case from a trusted brand like Samsung? With the Samsung Protective Standing Cover, you’ll get all the key features and protection you need for life on the go.
For starters, this Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra case is made of polycarbonate, making it a cinch to attach but also wraps snug around the tablet. More importantly, the casing has great rigidity to it, offering good durability if by chance you accidentally drop your tablet a few feet off the ground. It also helps that the surface has a nice varied texture to it, further preventing accidental drops.
The Samsung Protective Standing Cover feels most at home if you frequently use your tablet for work. To make this happen, it’s built with two key features: a built-in kickstand and S Pen storage. You can pop quickly pop out the S Pen, adjust the kickstand (with 30 to 75 degrees of adjustability), and get right to work.
2. UAG Rugged Protective Cover
Depending on the kind of life you lead, or perhaps you’re prone to accidents, you may need a Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra case that’s reliable. After all, a case is only as good as the design and the material used. In that case, look no further than the UAG Rugged Protective Cover
You likely know all too well the horror of watching your device fall straight down on one of the corners, only to bounce a few more times. To combat such an unfortunate event, the UAG Rugged Protective Cover uses a hybrid design, combining the rigidness and ruggedness of a shell case with thick, impact-resistant bumpers on the corners. This Tab S8 Ultra case is almost like purchasing insurance for your tablet.
Of course, the UAG Rugged Protective Cover also comes with several welcomed amenities such as a kickstand, S Pen storage, and easily accessible ports. You’ll also notice along the edges that the speakers and mic aren’t covered, preventing any compromised sound or voice quality.
3. Spigen Tempered Glass Screen Protector
What if you already have a case in mind for your Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra Tablet? Well, chances are it doesn’t protect the screen and instead protects everything else, which is great; however, your screen is still exposed. That’s where the Spigen Tempered Glass Screen Protector comes in handy.
Rather than cover most of the device, the Spigen Tempered Glass Screen Protector is designed to complement your favorite case. Since it’s case-friendly, you can apply the screen protector, then slip on a case for double the protection.
The Spigen Tempered Glass Screen Protector focuses on areas that cases normally don’t in the form of scratch and fingerprint resistance, while still maintaining touchscreen and S Pen functionality.
4. SUPCASE Unicorn Beetle Pro Case
You’ll find that some Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra cases fall short on one key aspect: the screen is exposed. If you’ve come to the same conclusion, and why you’ve been swiping no on every cover, then what you need is a full-body tablet case like the Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro Case.
The first line of defense is the Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro’s outer shell. It’s so durable, that the outer shell protects your Samsung tablet from drops as tall as four feet which is about the average height of a desk. In the event it falls on one of the corners, the hollow corners have an anti-shock design to help absorb the impact. The second line of defense is the screen protector itself, the cherry on top that keeps your screen in pristine condition.
Of course, the Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro Case offers more than just protection. In the back is a kickstand that locks into place and S Pen storage which, when combined, make the Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro Case perfect for drawing and notation without the worry of it slowly falling over.
5. ZtotopCases Full Body Cover
Let’s assume you want a Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra case that’s the definition of “rugged,” something that can take a beating. It wouldn’t hurt to have a few features you never thought you wanted but welcome nonetheless. Taking those key aspects into consideration, it’s hard not to think of anything other than the ZtotopCases Full Body Cover.
For starters, the ZtotopCases Full Body Cover comes with several features that are perfect for on-the-go lifestyles. On the back is a hand strap, S Pen storage, and a kickstand which, altogether, make it incredibly easy to quickly draw up specifications on the spot, then show off your work without worrying that you’ll drop your Samsung tablet. Afterward, you can sling the tablet over your shoulder with the tough and sturdy nylon shoulder strap.
Most importantly, the ZtotopCases Full Body Cover comes with, not one, but three layers of protection: a bumper, cover, and case. The bumper protects the screen from scratches and scrapes, while the cover and case absorb impacts and bumps. As a bonus, the outer silicone case feels nice and soft in the hands, in addition to a varied design to prevent slipping rather than a flat, smooth surface.
6. Tipoyoroo Leather Folio Case
If you consider yourself among the elite class of people that rarely drops their devices, if at all, or use your Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra sparingly, then you have a golden opportunity to lean into style rather than overprotection. It makes sense if you’re on the go, but if you’re at home, do you need your Samsung tablet wrapped in armor? Probably not, so go with the Tipoyoroo Leather Folio Case.
With the Tipoyoroo Leather Folio Case, you’ll have a choice between five colors but all will feature the same high-quality leather, engraved with a beautiful depiction of a healthy tree. More importantly, the leather is a good natural shield against scrapes, scratches, impacts, and drops.
Style isn’t everything the Tipoyoroo Leather Folio Case offers. Before you even open the cover, you’ll find a built-in S Pen stylus loop for easy access. Upon opening the Tipoyoroo Leather Folio Case, you’ll be greeted with pouches for credit cards, debit cards, and so on, along with a tough elastic band to keep the case closed when not in use.
7. Soke Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra Case
Some covers struggle to hit the trifecta, the three most desired aspects you want in tablet cases: style, function, and protection. If what you’re after in a case has a bit of each, then we suggest the Soke Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra Case.
For starters, the Soke Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra Case has a modern and serious style, while also having the option for a splash of color given its eight different finishes to choose from. The dotted surface isn’t just for show, it actually gives the cover a textured surface for better grip. And if you accidentally drop it, the Soke Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra Case does have built-in full-body shock absorption to soften the landing.
What the Soke Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra Case does best is keep you on point. You can quickly get to work by flipping the cover into a standing position, removing the S Pen from its storage in the back, and onto the task at hand. One of the most welcomed features is the S Pen storage allows for wireless charging to continue, so your writing utensil isn’t dying on the spot.
Q: Does the S Pen Require Batteries?
No. The Note9 S Pen and Note10 S Pen use a supercapacitor as a form of energy storage, which allows for the device to be recharged whenever it’s connected to the device. In this case, you’d simply attach the S Pen to the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra to the surface via magnets built into the pen.
It’s important to keep in mind that some cases prevent that magnetic connection from happening and, in turn, prevent the S Pen from charging. Thankfully, many cases also have a cutout designed to store the S Pen while simultaneously exposing the surface of the tablet to allow that wireless charging to continue.
Q: Is a Tablet Case Worth It?
Absolutely. Everyone drops their phone at some point, usually more than once, and tablets aren’t any different. That’s only considering yourself, so imagine the hazards of the workplace—e.g. other people.
A phone can be slipped into your pocket; a tablet cannot. At least with a case, you can prevent varying degrees of damage not just done by your own hand, but by the mistakes of others.
Q: Do Cases Come With Screen Protectors?
Some do, some do not. Most Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra cases raise the border around the screen. In the event that you drop your tablet with the screen facing down, the raised edges typically hit the ground first, preventing the horrifying nature of a cracked and splintered screen.
With that said, the design isn’t perfect. Drop the tablet on uneven ground and you’ve just increased your chances of a shattered screen. For the best protection, either pick a case that has a screen protector or combine a heavy-duty case with a screen protector.
