What is the best case for S8 to hide edges?

What is the best Galaxy S8 case that will cover up left and right infinity display edges? I have a problem with Infinity display as it is not suitable for one handed operation. It is sized properly for one handed operation but the curved edges causes the skin on hand to touch the screen when typing one handed and results in:

because I'm hitting the enter key on accident many times with skin on my hand that touches the screen. Also, when on the Youtube app, I'm constantly loading wrong videos because of this as well.

I'm looking for a case that wraps around the same as the top and bottom of the phone covering the curved sides. Does anyone know of such a case?
 
Have you tried turning off accidental touches vis Settings -> Display? That should eilminate most of the issues.

I'm not aware of any case which covers the sides of the display though, sorry.
 
I got a couple of Spigen cases, one clear and one black. I don't go for the edge gimmick and disabled it , so that combined with case makes phone perfect for me.
 
You could also try one handed mode for your keyboard. I use Gboard by Google and not only can you go one handed (left/right aligned) you can resize and position your keyboard where you like.

This would solve your hitting enter issue.

It would be better to use the phone's own one handed mode though, as the entire screen goes one handed mode making everything easier to reach. Plus the one hand mode size is adjustable by dragging the corners. You either access it with a gesture or triple tap of home, depending on which you set for activation.
