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

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

With the stand clicked in place, you should use your machine hands-free in both portrait or panorama mode. Observe which you can wirelessly cost your telephone with this case on, although it’s important to be extra cautious about putting it in the appropriate spot on a wi-fi charging pad for it to work. 

City Armor Gear provides a number of case choices for the Galaxy S23 fashions in quite a lot of colours. I just like the Pathfinder sequence, however am highlighting the brand new Plyo Professional, which incorporates a built-in “magnetic module” that appears somewhat like a MagSafe module and lets you use magnetic equipment with the case.

UAG’s circumstances all function good nook safety and meet army drop-test requirements, with the Plyo Professional rated for 16-foot drop safety. 

British case-maker Gear4, now owned by Zagg, makes circumstances which can be 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 telephone. 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.

If you happen to’re searching for an inexpensive, clear case to your new Galaxy S23, Spigen’s Extremely Hybrid is an effective worth at round $16 to $19, relying on the model you get. I just like the Ultra Hybrid Zero One that has an imprint of the innards of your telephone, which makes it appear like the again of your telephone is open and uncovered when it actually is not. 

I additionally just like the Ultra 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 “take in and dissipate warmth out of your telephone throughout hours of gameplay.” 

No drop score is listed for these Samsung telephone circumstances, however most Spigen circumstances, apart from the slimmest fashions, provide cheap safety. If you need a tricky case with first rate safety, get considered one of its Armor fashions.

Observe that a variety of these cheaper clear circumstances 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 sequence case is on the market for all of the Galaxy S23 fashions, however most individuals need one thing much less cumbersome. I just like the Symmetry sequence circumstances — they’re slim with beveled edges, making them a superb mixture of glossy and protecting. That stated, I’ve come to love the extra protecting Commuter Collection higher, because of the grips it has on the again and sides, in addition to having raised edges on the entrance that ought to assist shield 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 on the market for all of the S23 fashions and is definitely appropriate 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 mobile mounts and accessories. That features bike mounts, charging stands, tripods, automotive mounts and extra. The one Peak Design accent I do not advocate is the pockets, which does not lock onto the case and does not follow it that securely.

If you mix Peak Design’s equipment with all of the MagSafe equipment on the market, you actually get a variety of accent choices to select from. The case is comparatively slim with a 6-foot drop safety score, although word there are extra protecting circumstances on this record with somewhat higher nook safety. Not like with earlier Peak circumstances for Samsung telephones, you should use your S-Pen stylus accent whereas your telephone 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 lets you prop the telephone up horizontally. You may additionally have the ability to connect different non-obligatory equipment to the case. The Gadget case is on the market 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 function, 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 attention-grabbing 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 possibly can go together with a wallet-style case or plain case. Evidently, you may additionally have the ability to purchase different backplates with completely different designs to present your case a brand new look in case you get tired of it. 

Cyrill is a sub-brand of Spigen and like Spigen, its circumstances usually promote for lower than $20. Cyrill does 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.

Out there in black, inexperienced and camel, Samsung’s leather-based case provides a pleasant, easy but grippy really feel with first rate edge safety in a slim bundle. Alas, there is not any kickstand, however in case you’re searching for a clear, elegantly designed case, this Samsung-branded leather-based case suits the invoice. 

For the Galaxy S23, UK-based Mous has performed one thing somewhat completely different. It is introduced MagSafe compatibility to its line of Samsung circumstances with just a few completely different eye-catching types, all of them lined with the AiroShock materials that the corporate says delivers wonderful safety in a slim design (you should use MagSafe and different magnetic equipment with these circumstances).

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

Incipio has its common strong lineup of circumstances for the Galaxy S23, together with outdated favorites just like the sturdy Duo (pictured in purple; 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 obtainable with a translucent again. It additionally has licensing offers with Kate Spade and Coach, and a few of these circumstances provide eye-catching designs.

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

Rokform’s been making powerful smartphone circumstances for years, and apart from their sturdiness, their key function is the power to make use of them with numerous mounts — together with bike, automotive and motorbike mounts — which can be bought individually.

Rokform’s circumstances have detachable magnets they usually’re appropriate with wi-fi charging in case you take away the included middle magnet. “With the decrease magnet nonetheless intact, you possibly can nonetheless wireless-charge whereas using magnetic mounting and all of our mounts,” Rokform says.

When you could have a telephone 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 does not convert right into a kickstand for watching movies. 

Observe that the picture pictured is the case for the Galaxy S22 Extremely, however the S23 Extremely’s case seems to be very comparable.
