There is a secret and little known technique. Take the can over to the trash when you are ready to open it, hold it directly above the trash can with your left hand. Open your hand rapidly dropping that can of disgusting shit into the trash and walk away. Problem solved :)

Open it up just a little bit and drink all of the juice out before you open the rest

Do it naked...

Open them over the sink and away from you.

At worst, lay a paper towel over the can and your hand as you open.

Yep. And if you're asking this question you're too fucking stupid to deserve an answer.

Have someone else open it for you.

Gallagher method. Get a giant sledgehammer and crush that thing. Wear a raincoat.

Place the can in a plastic bag. Reach inside the bag and remove the lid.

Edit: Back in the day, we would do sterile transfers on the cheap by making a glove box. It's overkill for can opening, but it would definitely keep your clothes clean.

Don't rip the top off all the way. Just bend it back and leave it attached.

You can use the olive oil from that can in the recipe, quite a lot. It adds a great umami, depending on what the dish is.

Otherwise, open it up slightly, pour the oil into the trash and then open it the remainder of the way with a paper towel over the top. You can pull on the finger tab through the towel. That will stop most splash damage. Unless your the guy that opens milk cartons on those shoppers Network commercials. If so ... you're SOL.
