Even a while after its launch, the Samsung Galaxy S9 is still an outstanding phone, from its stellar camera to a brilliant display and its almost perfect size. Whether you've already got one in your pocket, or you're debating whether to snag one now that the S10 is driving its price down, you should also think about investing in some quality accessories. Not only can these Galaxy-helpers keep your glass-backed S9 safe from the world, but they can also improve your power, storage, and everyday use.
Otterbox has been one of the most well-recognized brands in phone protection for as long as we can remember, and its Defender series remains the best way to really protect your phone. It makes the S9 considerably thicker, sure, but the rubberized multi-layer design is built to take a beating and keep your phone looking pristine.
This wet install screen protector uses UV light to cure its adhesive for a superior grip. It's by no means cheap, but it's one that you can trust to apply well, hold well to the edges of your screen, and protect it with its life — and if it doesn't, this kit is a 2-pack!
This stylish Qi charger sports a charging zone compatible with the S9's 10W fast wireless charging. Available in 4 lovely hues — including a delicious Ruby red — iOttie's iON will look great on your office desk, nightstand, or the coffee table.
This handy kit gives you all the USB-C charging, connecting, and data transferring tech your S9 should ever need: an official Samsung Fast Adaptive wall charger, a 6ft USB-C to USB-A cable, and even an OTG adapter should you need to plug in a keyboard or flash drive.
This mount from Lynktec features a touch-sensitive trigger to open its automatic grips, an IR sensor to close the grips once your phone is in place, and an included QC 3.0 car charger to power its Qi charging pad. It even uses the AC from the air vent it mounts on to keep your S9 cool as it uses the Bolt's fast wireless charging.
The Galaxy Buds are Samsung's new, truly wireless earbuds that get up to six hours of battery life on a charge. They're splash-resistant, tuned by AKG, and can be adjusted to let in more or less ambient sound within the Galaxy Wearable app.
The 1000XM3 headphones are a near-perfect blend of great sound quality, incredible noise-canceling, and long battery life. You can filter in surrounding sounds with the press of a button, and control your music playback and volume using gestures on the right cup.
Treat your Galaxy S9 with some new accessories
The Samsung Galaxy S9 might now reside in the shadow of the newer Galaxy models, but it's still a fully capable phone for gaming or anything else that you do with a flagship phone.
You really can't go wrong with any of the recommended accessories on this list, but we always recommend putting a case on your phone and especially so if it's an older model like the S9 that's still in like-new condition. Preserving it from damage at this point will help it to maintain value for a future trade-in or for reselling purposes. The Spigen Liquid Crystal is our top pick because clear cases let you still show off the S9 in full glory while protecting against scratches and cracks.
If you're running out of storage space, getting a 256GB Samsung EVO Plus microSD is a smart pick-up and available for a great price.
