The similar goes for tempered glass for further safety — match the dimensions to the precise mannequin of your S23, whether or not that is the Ultra, Plus or base mannequin.Read extra: Best Wireless Earbuds and Headphones for Samsung TelephonesBest Samsung Galaxy S23, S23 Plus and S23 Ultra instances Speck Leading case-maker Speck brings a number of protecting case choices to the Galaxy S23, together with the Presidio2 Grip (proven in blue), Presidio Perfect-Mist and Presidio Perfect-Clear. All the brand new fashions have excellent drop safety (from 13 to 16 toes, relying on the mannequin) in addition to Speck’s Microban antimicrobial coating. The instances begin at round $40 in varied coloration choices, and Speck regularly provides reductions to first-time patrons on its website. Screenshot by David Carnoy/CNET 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 shouldn’t 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 should utilize your system hands-free in both portrait or panorama mode. Note that you may wirelessly cost your cellphone with this case on, although you need to be extra cautious about inserting it in the precise spot on a wi-fi charging pad for it to work.  Urban Armor Gear provides 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 Pro, which incorporates a built-in “magnetic module” that appears slightly like a MagSafe module and permits you to use magnetic equipment with the case.UAG’s instances all characteristic good nook safety and meet navy drop-test requirements, with the Plyo Pro rated for 16-foot drop safety.  Gear4 British case-maker Gear4, now owned by Zagg, makes instances which might 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 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. Amazon If you are on the lookout for an affordable, clear case in your new Galaxy S23, Spigen’s Ultra 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 cellphone, which makes it seem like the again of your cellphone 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 “absorb and dissipate heat from your phone during hours of gameplay.” No drop score is listed for these Samsung cellphone instances, however most Spigen instances, apart from the slimmest fashions, supply cheap safety. If you need a robust case with first rate safety, get considered one of its Armor fashions.Note that loads of these cheaper clear instances have a behavior of turning yellow and degrading over time, which makes them much less translucent. But they’re low cost sufficient that you simply in all probability will not thoughts shelling out for a substitute if and when that occurs. You’re receiving value alerts for Spigen instances Amazon The firm’s super-protective Defender collection case is out there 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 mixture of glossy 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 defend your display. The raised bezel acts as a display protector to maintain your display scratch-free, and the digital camera module will get the identical remedy.  Stephen Shankland/CNET Peak Design’s Everyday case is out there 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. But the case has Peak Design’s personal built-in magnetic locking system — the corporate calls it SlimHyperlink — that connects to a large assortment of Peak Design’s cell mounts and equipment. That contains bike mounts, charging stands, tripods, automotive mounts and extra. The solely Peak Design accent I do not advocate is the pockets, which does not lock onto the case and would not persist with it that securely.When you mix Peak Design’s equipment with all of the MagSafe equipment on the market, you actually 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 listing with slightly higher nook safety. Unlike with earlier Peak instances for Samsung telephones, you should utilize your S-Pen stylus accent whereas your cellphone is within the case; there was beforehand a problem with the magnet array design with earlier Galaxy telephones. Samsung Samsung’s Clear Gadget Cover has a built-in ring kickstand that permits you to prop the cellphone up horizontally. You’ll additionally be capable of connect different elective equipment to the case. The Gadget case is out there for all three S23 fashions however makes extra sense for the bigger Plus and Ultra fashions. Amazon Particularly 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 reasonably priced as you get at round $20. It might dip to nearer to $15 in time.  You’re receiving value alerts for ESR Kickstand case Screenshot by David Carnoy/CNET Samsung’s new Frame case for Galaxy S23 is an fascinating idea. In the field you get a “frame” (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. Needless to say, you will additionally be capable of purchase different backplates with totally different designs to provide your case a brand new look when you get uninterested in it.  David Carnoy/CNET Cyrill is a sub-brand of Spigen and like Spigen, its instances typically promote for lower than $20. Cyrill would not have fairly the identical choice for the Galaxy S23 because it does for the iPhone 14, but it surely does supply its UltraShade case, which has a soft-to-the-touch end. It has a raised body on the again that gives some further safety for the digital camera lenses. The corners of the case have a raised lip as nicely. You’re receiving value alerts for Cyrill instances Samsung Available 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 package deal. Alas, there isn’t any kickstand, however when you’re on the lookout for a clear, elegantly designed case, this Samsung-branded leather-based case suits the invoice.  David Carnoy/CNET For the Galaxy S23, UK-based Mous has accomplished one thing slightly totally different. It’s introduced MagSafe compatibility to its line of Samsung instances with a couple of totally different eye-catching kinds, all of them lined with the AiroShock materials that the corporate says delivers glorious safety in a slim design (you should utilize MagSafe and different magnetic equipment with these instances).Based on my earlier expertise with Mous instances, they do appear sturdy and all embrace a lifetime guarantee. I’m personally a fan of the Iridescent mannequin pictured, however the Walnut, Bamboo and Silver Pearl instances are additionally good.  You’re receiving value alerts for Mous magnetic-connection instances Screenshot by David Carnoy/CNET Incipio has its ordinary strong lineup of instances for the Galaxy S23, together with outdated favorites just like the sturdy Duo (pictured in pink; 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 out there with a translucent again. It additionally has licensing offers with Kate Spade and Coach, and a few of these instances supply eye-catching designs.At $35, the Duo is essentially the most reasonably priced of the bunch, however search for costs to return down as soon as the telephones have been out for some time. David Carnoy/CNET Rokform’s been making robust smartphone instances for years, and except for their sturdiness, their key characteristic is the flexibility to make use of them with varied mounts — together with bike, automotive and motorbike mounts — which might be bought individually.Rokform’s instances have detachable magnets they usually’re suitable with wi-fi charging when you take away the included heart magnet. “With the lower magnet still intact, you can still wireless-charge while utilizing magnetic mounting and all of our mounts,” Rokform says. David Carnoy/CNET When you’ve gotten 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. Note that the photograph pictured is the case for the Galaxy S22 Ultra, however the S23 Ultra’s case seems to be very related.
