Best Samsung Galaxy S23, S23 Plus and S23 Ultra Cases for 2023

Clckr’s instances characteristic a built-in kickstand and grip strap that folds out and clicks into place on the again of your cellphone. Clckr sells simply the stand/strap accent to stay on the again of your cellphone (or on a case), however the Galaxy S23 Clear case with the built-in kickstand accent is best and likewise is available in a Textured model if translucency will not be your factor. I would not say the instances are tremendous protecting however they’re sturdy sufficient, with raised edges to guard the display.

With the stand clicked in place, you need to use your gadget hands-free in both portrait or panorama mode. Notice that you would be able to wirelessly cost your cellphone with this case on, although it’s important to be extra cautious about inserting it in the best spot on a wi-fi charging pad for it to work. 

City Armor Gear gives a number of case choices for the Galaxy S23 fashions in quite a lot of colours. I just like the Pathfinder collection, however am highlighting the brand new Plyo Professional, which includes a built-in “magnetic module” that appears a little bit like a MagSafe module and means that you can use magnetic equipment with the case.

UAG’s instances all characteristic good nook safety and meet navy drop-test requirements, with the Plyo Professional rated for 16-foot drop safety. 

British case-maker Gear4, now owned by Zagg, makes instances which are proper there with these from OtterBox and Speck. They’re all lined with the corporate’s D3O shock-absorbing materials and have beveled edges to guard your cellphone. For the Galaxy S23, I just like the Denali with Kickstand (pictured — 16-foot drop safety) and the Everest with Kickstand exactly as a result of they’ve built-in kickstands and are additionally protecting and really feel good in hand. The Milan (13-foot drop safety) and London (13-foot drop safety) even have eye-catching designs.

In the event you’re in search of an affordable, clear case to your new Galaxy S23, Spigen’s Extremely Hybrid is an efficient worth at round $16 to $19, relying on the model you get. I just like the Extremely Hybrid Zero One which has an imprint of the innards of your cellphone, which makes it appear like the again of your cellphone is open and uncovered when it actually is not. 

I additionally just like the Extremely Hybrid S ($20), which is a transparent case with a built-in kickstand. The Neo Hybrid ($20) is a reasonably primary case, whereas the Cryo Armor is a $21 triple-layer “gaming” case that is designed to “soak up and dissipate warmth out of your cellphone throughout hours of gameplay.” 

No drop score is listed for these Samsung cellphone instances, however most Spigen instances, apart from the slimmest fashions, provide affordable safety. If you need a tricky case with first rate safety, get one among its Armor fashions.

Notice that loads of these cheaper clear instances have a behavior of turning yellow and degrading over time, which makes them much less translucent. However they’re low cost sufficient that you just in all probability will not thoughts shelling out for a alternative if and when that occurs.

The corporate’s super-protective Defender collection case is accessible for all of the Galaxy S23 fashions, however most individuals need one thing much less cumbersome. I just like the Symmetry collection instances — they’re slim with beveled edges, making them an excellent mixture of smooth and protecting. That mentioned, I’ve come to love the extra protecting Commuter Sequence higher, due to the grips it has on the again and sides, in addition to having raised edges on the entrance that ought to assist defend your display. The raised bezel acts as a display protector to maintain your display scratch-free, and the digicam module will get the identical remedy. 

Peak Design’s On a regular basis case is accessible for all of the S23 fashions and is definitely suitable with Apple’s MagSafe equipment and different magnetic MagSafe-compatible equipment, together with wi-fi charging batteries, wallets and extra. However the case has Peak Design’s personal built-in magnetic locking system — the corporate calls it SlimLink — that connects to a large assortment of Peak Design’s cell mounts and equipment. That features bike mounts, charging stands, tripods, automobile mounts and extra. The one Peak Design accent I do not suggest is the pockets, which does not lock onto the case and would not follow it that securely.

Whenever you mix Peak Design’s equipment with all of the MagSafe equipment on the market, you definitely get loads of accent choices to select from. The case is comparatively slim with a 6-foot drop safety score, although be aware there are extra protecting instances on this checklist with a little bit higher nook safety. Not like with earlier Peak instances for Samsung telephones, you need to use your S-Pen stylus accent whereas your cellphone is within the case; there was beforehand a difficulty with the magnet array design with earlier Galaxy telephones.

Samsung’s Clear Gadget Cowl has a built-in ring kickstand that means that you can prop the cellphone up horizontally. You may additionally be capable to connect different optionally available equipment to the case. The Gadget case is accessible for all three S23 fashions however makes extra sense for the bigger Plus and Extremely fashions.

Notably with the 2 bigger fashions of the Galaxy S23, I discover that having an built-in kickstand is a pleasant characteristic, and the ESR kickstand case is about as inexpensive as you get at round $20. It might dip to nearer to $15 in time. 

Samsung’s new Body case for Galaxy S23 is an fascinating idea. Within the field you get a “body” (we used to name this a bumper case) and two interchangeable backplates — one clear and one card slot — so you may go along with a wallet-style case or plain case. Evidently, you may additionally be capable to purchase different backplates with completely different designs to offer your case a brand new look should you get tired of it. 

Cyrill is a sub-brand of Spigen and like Spigen, its instances usually promote for lower than $20. Cyrill would not have fairly the identical choice for the Galaxy S23 because it does for the iPhone 14, nevertheless it does provide its UltraColor case, which has a soft-to-the-touch end. It has a raised body on the again that gives some further safety for the digicam lenses. The corners of the case have a raised lip as nicely.

Obtainable in black, inexperienced and camel, Samsung’s leather-based case gives a pleasant, easy but grippy really feel with first rate edge safety in a slim package deal. Alas, there is no kickstand, however should you’re in search of a clear, elegantly designed case, this Samsung-branded leather-based case matches the invoice. 

For the Galaxy S23, UK-based Mous has performed one thing a little bit completely different. It is introduced MagSafe compatibility to its line of Samsung instances with a couple of completely different eye-catching kinds, all of them lined with the AiroShock materials that the corporate says delivers glorious safety in a slim design (you need to use MagSafe and different magnetic equipment with these instances).

Based mostly on my earlier expertise with Mous instances, they do appear sturdy and all embody a lifetime guarantee. I am personally a fan of the Iridescent mannequin pictured, however the Walnut, Bamboo and Silver Pearl instances are additionally good. 

Incipio has its standard strong lineup of instances for the Galaxy S23, together with outdated favorites just like the sturdy Duo (pictured in crimson; 12-foot drop safety), Grip (14-foot drop safety) and the Organicore (14-foot drop safety), which is an eco case that is 100% compostable and is now accessible with a translucent again. It additionally has licensing offers with Kate Spade and Coach, and a few of these instances provide eye-catching designs.

At $35, the Duo is probably the most inexpensive of the bunch, however search for costs to return down as soon as the telephones have been out for some time.

Rokform’s been making powerful smartphone instances for years, and other than their sturdiness, their key characteristic is the power to make use of them with varied mounts — together with bike, automobile and bike mounts — which are bought individually.

Rokform’s instances have detachable magnets and so they’re suitable with wi-fi charging should you take away the included heart magnet. “With the decrease magnet nonetheless intact, you may nonetheless wireless-charge whereas using magnetic mounting and all of our mounts,” Rokform says.

When you’ve a cellphone with a big display, it may be a good suggestion to get some added display safety with a folio case that additionally has slots for a few bank cards. Otterbox’s folio case, the Strada, is properly designed with a magnetic clasp. Its solely disadvantage is that it would not convert right into a kickstand for watching movies. 

Notice that the picture pictured is the case for the Galaxy S22 Extremely, however the S23 Extremely’s case appears very related.
