Best Samsung Galaxy S22, S22 Plus and S22 Ultra Cases for 2023

Leading case maker Speck brings a number of protecting case choices to the Galaxy S22, together with (from left to proper in image above) the Presidio Perfect-Clear Ombre, Presidio2 Grip and Presidio Perfect-Clear. 

All the brand new fashions have superb drop safety (13 to 16 ft, relying on the mannequin) in addition to Speck’s Microban antimicrobial coating. The circumstances begin at round $9 in varied shade choices. Sometimes Speck presents reductions to first-time consumers on its website.

British case-maker Gear4, now owned by Zagg, makes circumstances which are proper there with OtterBox and Speck. They’re all lined with the corporate’s D3O shock-absorbing materials and characteristic beveled edges to guard your telephone. Shown right here from left to proper are the Copenhagen (13-foot drop safety), Denali (16-foot drop safety), Milan (13-foot drop safety) and Crystal Palace (13-foot drop safety). All use some recycled plastic of their development, however the Copenhagen, made out of 52% plant-based materials, is technically probably the most eco-friendly.

If you are trying for an inexpensive clear case for your new Galaxy S22, Spigen’s Ultra Hybrid is an effective worth at round $15 to $17, relying on the model you get. I just like the Ultra Hybrid S (second from the left in photograph), which has an built-in kickstand. The Neo Hybrid, on the far proper, is a reasonably primary case, whereas the Cryo Armor (second from proper) is a $22 triple layer “gaming” case that is designed to “take up and dissipate warmth out of your telephone throughout hours of gameplay.” 

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

Note that numerous these cheaper clear circumstances have a behavior of turning yellow and degrading over time, which makes them much less translucent. But 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 firm’s tremendous protecting Defender collection case is accessible for all of the Galaxy S22 fashions, however most individuals need one thing much less cumbersome. I just like the Symmetry collection circumstances — they’re slim with beveled edges, making them a great mixture of smooth and protecting. That stated, I’ve come to love the extra protecting Commuter Series 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. 

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

Rokform’s circumstances have detachable magnets and they’re appropriate with wi-fi charging for those who take away the included middle magnet. “With the decrease magnet nonetheless intact, you’ll be able to nonetheless wireless-charge whereas using magnetic mounting and all of our mounts,” Rokform says.

Available in just a few shade choices, Raptic’s Shield case prices lower than competing premium circumstances from Speck and OtterBox and is a reasonably good worth total. It has 10-foot drop safety, in addition to an antimicrobial remedy. 

Samsung’s Clear Standing Cover is not something fancy however it’s a protecting clear case that has an built-in kickstand. You can prop your telephone up horizontally or vertically utilizing the kickstand, which appears sturdy (it is bigger than Spigen’s built-in kickstand). Alas, it is at the moment out of inventory however will hopefully ship quickly.

Available in black, burgundy and mild grey, Samsung’s leather-based case presents a pleasant soft-to-the-touch really feel with first rate edge safety in a slim package deal. Alas, there is not any kickstand, however for those who’re trying for a clear, elegantly designed case, this Samsung-branded case matches the invoice. It additionally presents first rate safety for the digicam lenses on the again. I personally just like the burgundy shade.

When you’ve gotten 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 downside is that it does not convert right into a kickstand for watching movies. It’s solely obtainable in black for now.

Otterbox additionally makes the Strada Via folio, however I choose this mannequin.

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 S22 because it does for the iPhone 13, however it has some protecting clear circumstances with floral designs (pictured on proper), in addition to the Brick Matte Finish case (the blue and purple circumstances in photograph), 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 properly.

Particularly with the 2 bigger fashions of the Galaxy S22, 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 $22. It ought to dip to nearer to $15 with time. 

The LifeProof Wake case is made out of recycled ocean plastic. It’s attractively designed however I would not name it tremendous powerful — it is not enclosed on the backside and has 6-foot drop safety. (Note that some circumstances on this listing have increased drop-protection scores.)

For the Galaxy S22, UK-based Mous brings its Limitless 3.0 case ($60) to the Galaxy S22. It is available in just a few totally different eye-catching kinds, all of them lined with the AiroShock materials that the corporate says delivers glorious safety in a slim design. They do appear sturdy and all embody a lifetime guarantee.

Mous’ Limitless 3.0 circumstances are appropriate with the corporate’s Limitless 3.0 equipment. That features a pockets that magnetically adheres to the again of the telephone case and just a few mounts, considered one of which is an air-vent mount for your automotive. 

It’s additionally value noting that the Limitless 3.0 circumstances are the one ones I’ve seen which have a SIM-card storage slot on the within of the smartphone case for worldwide vacationers within the behavior of SIM-swapping. You also can seize choose kinds on sale proper now at Mous.
