How to protect the glass-back iPhone 8

The iPhone 8 will support Qi wireless charging and because of that, Apple has made the back of the iPhone 8 all glass. Apple has stated it used the strongest glass they have ever put on a phone to date; however, glass is glass and it can still be scratched and scuffed. Cases are a great way to protect your iPhone 8 from breaking; however, it is possible that a case could interfere with the wireless charging feature.

One of the ways to protect the glass back of your iPhone 8 without hampering the ability to wireless charge is to get a skin. Here are some of our favorite skins you can find for the iPhone 8 right now.

NOTE: The iPhone 8 has the exact same dimensions as the iPhone 7, meaning you can use skins designed for the iPhone 7 just fine.

For the minimalist lover, bestskinsever.com has really thin, clear skins that will cover completely your iPhone 8.

That's right, not only can you get a skin to cover the back of your phone but also the screen as well. Plus, you can choose from glossy or matte finishes meaning you can choose how your iPhone 8 looks with the skin applied.

The skins start at $8.99, but they can cost you up to $11.99 depending on what finish and what cover (either front, back, or both) you choose.
