Best Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra cases: 12 picks that we would buy

During our review of the Galaxy S23 Ultra, it became clear it is the crème de la crème of Samsung’s Galaxy S series in 2023. It brings some noteworthy improvements over its predecessor to live up to its Ultra moniker, and it’s already a top pick in our collection of the best phones of the year. It’s a relatively big phone to carry around, though, and it might take a while for you to get used to it if you’re coming from a smaller device. It’s also on the expensive side, so you might want to consider buying a case to protect it from accidental drops and scuffs. If you’re wondering which ones to buy, then here’s a list of the best Galaxy S23 Ultra cases in 2023:

Best Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra cases: Final thoughts

And that wraps up our collection of the best Galaxy S23 Ultra cases. This particular collection, as you can see, has a ton of options, so you’ll find something to your liking. If you don’t want to explore too many options, then I recommend picking up the Spigen Ultra Hybrid One Tap Ring case. It’s a simple case that offers good protection and lets you show off the color of your phone. The One Tap Ring also lets you use MagSafe-compatible accessories with the case, so it’s better than a regular clear case. MOUS also has some cases that let you use MagSafe accessories, but they’re a bit on the expensive side as they also come with a variety of finishes at the back.

Those who are shopping for a premium case can consider buying either the dbrand Grip case or something like the Bellroy leather case to add a nice touch to their phone. I personally use dbrand’s Grip case on a couple of my phones, and I am yet to find a solid alternative for it. I’ve also added some other interesting options, including the Nillkin camera lens protector case and the ESR kickstand, so be sure to explore all the options before making a purchase decision.
