Top to bottom:
I've been trying out these four thin cases. In the image you can see my S8 face down in each case, with a Verizon tempered glass screen protector on. You can see the edge of it, a white line which curves downward at each end.
I'm thinking of removing the screen protector, so I took these photos to see which case would provide the most protection when the S8 is face down without a screen protector. The Spigen has a raised lip at the top and bottom of the case that just barely keeps the screen protector off the surface below. The Maxboost lips are about even with the screen protector. The Bear Motion lips barely rise above the S8 screen, and there are no lips on the elago.
The Spigen is the most robust case and is the biggest weighing 18 grams, has a raised lip around the camera for extra protection (you can see it in the bottom picture), has space for a metal plate for a magnetic car mount (if you like that sort of thing), and is made of a grippy matte material. Definitely this feels like the case with the most protection. Very nice.
The Maxboost is slightly smaller than the Spigen and weighs 17 grams. It's matte material is a bit less grippy and the buttons aren't as easy to press because the openings aren't cut away like the Spigen. There is no raised lip for the camera. I like it though because it is slightly smaller than the Spigen.
The Bear Motion is made of a sandy feeling matte material that provides great grip. It is about the same size as the Maxboost but only weighs 13 grams and has cut-away button openings and a very small raised lip for the camera. I like it too!
The elago is extremely thin, weighing only 5 grams. It is barely bigger than the phone itself. It is so thin that mine got a small rip near the power button on the right when I was taking it on and off, and the left side is slightly loose, not as snug as the right. Buttons are easy to press as they actually protrude beyond the sides of the case! It is matte, grippy but not quite as grippy as the others. It also has a small raised lip for the camera. It feels great in the hand but doesn't give confidence as it has no protection to speak of except for scratches and fingerprints.
Although size-wise the Spigen is my least favorite, I may end up using it because it inspires the most confidence, seems like it might do better in a drop situation, while protecting the screen better when the phone is face down due to having the largest top and bottom lips, and also the biggest lip around the camera.
I just received the Liquid Air Armor from Spigen, and I really like the feel of it. It's like that harder rubber, and the back has a nice pattern to it that provides grip. I've tried many different Spigen cases, and for me, the Thin Fit over time developed scratches that wouldn't go away. So that's why I opt'd for the Liquid Air this time.
I like and recommend Spigen cases to everyone.
I love the quality and design of Spigen cases.
I'm looking at the Thin Fit, the Liquid Air Armor or the Ultra Hybrid for the normal Galaxy S8.
Spigen Thin Fit. It's perfect for this phone.
It does not come with a case, but here's a very thin one that I use often on my S7 Edge:

It does, this phone is amazing. You're going to love it.
As for feel, I was a little worried that the height of the S8 would make one-handed use difficult with my smallish hands. But it's actually easier than with the M8, since the S8 is more narrow. Just get a case that provides better grip, this thing is slippery as hell without one. I'm using Spigen Thin Fit, which doesn't add much bulk and feels much more secure in my hand.
I have a Spigen Thin Fit black case ready to pop on my S8 as soon as I get it and have pre-ordered a Spigen AirSkin case in black. The thinner the better for me - I use a case to prevent minor scratches rather than as drop-protection.

I had the Neo Hybrid case for my S6, went through two back to beck in a short period of time. The concept is nice, but the quality wasn't there.
I moved on to the Spigen Thin Fit Galaxy S8 Case and also have one for my S9 now.
All that being said, in my experience Spigen is very responsive and will work with you to solve the problem. They replaced my first thin fit case on my S8 when the rubberized coating started peeling off at no cost.
I opted to get the Spigen Thin Fit just because the Alcantara is $69.99 CAD :(
I use the Spigen Thin Fit

Screen Protector is decent but the screen is nicer without it. With that said I still use this one. http://a.co/6YlMjhD
Well i am getting my S8 soon but for the S7E the thinnest case ive used and loved is the Spigen Thin Fit, its soft touch hard plastic, minimal protection but i never drop my phone all i need protection for the back of my phone from small falls and scratches. and it still has a tiny lip to protect the screen when you put it face down on a table so i will be getting it for the S8 as well. EDIT: Oh and it has exposed volume/power buttons which i love. so much nicer to press than through a thick case
