The Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 plus are two of the most attractive smartphones that have come out in the past few years. With their super-slim bezels, rounded corners, and glass backs that come in a variety of colors, the S8 and S8+'s good looks can't be denied. Most of the accessories that debuted alongside the duo, such as the Alcantara Cover and Clear View Standing Cover, aren't bad-looking either. However, there's one exception to the rule - the 2Piece Cover. If you want to make your gorgeous new phone look like absolute crap, you should seriously consider one of these.

Words cannot describe the absolute derision I feel for this... thing. It kinda reminds me of HTC's Double Dip case with the top and bottom pieces that you can mix and match, but it's a lot worse in both functionality and aesthetics. Not only do you not get protection for the sides and glass back of your phone, but you also risk a piece (or both) flying off when you inevitably drop it. Samsung says that it was internally known as the "bikini case" because of its two-piece nature; I say that it should have been known as the "should-never-leave-the-drawing-board case" because it's an eyesore, and it sucks as a case.

The 2Piece will reportedly cost around $20; I could only find one source to corroborate this, but it seems in line with what Samsung would charge for it. Don't waste your money on it, though; take that Jackson, buy a nice Spigen case, and have some money left over. And if you must go OEM, pony up a few extra bucks for the Alcantara Cover or the Silicone Cover.

Be warned: if I see any of you walking around with this monstrosity on your shiny new S8, I will slap the phone out of your hand. Bet you'll wish you'd bought literally any other case when you pick your shattered and dented phone off the sidewalk.
