The new iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 plus comes slightly taller, wider and thicker (0.1mm to 0.2mm) than the current iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 plus.
Will iPhone 7 and 7 Plus case still fit iPhone 8 and 8 Plus?
The specs aren't identical, but the differences are only a few millimeters and the camera size and position are the same. So your old case will probably still fit the new iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus.
At least according to Apple's official accessory page:

However, not all phone cases might fit...
Nevertheless, iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus are marginally thicker - 0.2 mm - than their predecessors. So some very tight cases, especially the hard plastic case, might not fit.
How about iPhone X?
The iPhone X is a different story, it has a completely different size and specifications. iPhone X preorder will only begin on 27th October 2017 and shipping plans to begin on 3rd November 2017. Some iPhone X phone cases are already available for major brands, such as Spigen and Otterbox. TheImprint iPhone X cases will be available soon.
