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

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is still a fantastic phone that remains relevant and up-to-date with the latest software and features. Even with the Galaxy S25 range nearly here, the flagship from two generations back is still an awesome Android phone. Samsung has promised many more years of software updates, and if there’s nothing wrong with your Galaxy S23 Ultra, you might not be in a hurry to upgrade.

But if you do want to upgrade at some point, you’ll be glad you put a protective case on your handset, as keeping it in great condition helps with the trade-in value. The large screen of the Galaxy S23 Ultra means it might not survive dropping onto harder surfaces. Plus, it’s an expensive handset, even when found at deep discounts, so you’ll want to protect your investment so your phone can last for years.

  Best folio case

  TORRO leather wallet case for Galaxy S23 Ultra
  

  If you are looking for a premium leather wallet folio case for the Galaxy S23 Ultra, consider the TORRO leather wallet case. It has a TPU layer on the inside for impact protection and is covered with premium handcrafted cowhide leather on the outside. To fit your style, this cardholder case comes in three colors: black with Red Detail, Dark Brown, and Navy Blue with Red Detail.

The best case for the Galaxy S23 Ultra depends on how you use your phone

There is no shortage of cases for the Galaxy S23 Ultra, so you are bound to find something that suits your liking and appetite for spending. If you don’t want to explore too many options, then I recommend picking up the Spigen Liquid Air case. Not only does it offer good protection, but it also looks unique and is quite thin. Those who are shopping for a premium case can consider buying either the dbrand Grip 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 have yet to find a solid alternative for it. I’ve also added some other interesting options, including the Spigen Optik Armor and the ESR kickstand, so be sure to explore all the options before making a purchase decision.

The Supcase UB Pro is the only case in this collection for the Galaxy S23 Ultra that comes with a built-in screen protector. Unless you get that, you might want to pick one up separately. I’d say this is a must-have, considering Gorilla Glass can only protect your phone’s display so much.
