[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] asrah:
I got a Poetic Spartan (Matte Black) for the S23 Ultra.

Ive never had a bad experience with their cases. Ive used them off and on for years, with multiple Samsung devices.

Its not magsafe but I dont use magsafe anyways.

Based on reviews it seems that wireless charging works properly with the thicker Poetic cases.

And unlike Otterbox, their internal plastic frame doesnt lose its plastic tabs. Not sure why the OtterBox tabs break so easily. I use as little force as is physically possible for me to separate the top and bottom parts of the internal plastic frame.

So if youre looking for a drop-resistant case, OtterBox and Poetic Spartan are two really good choices. But they ARE thicker than something like the Poetic Neon or OtterBox Commuter. They do offer more front protection, though, which is why I use them. Im pretty sure the sides of the S23's will stand up to your average drops. My N20 5G did just fine, without a case.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Mozie:
Wow thanks for the tip, that means the Spigen wireless charger isn't build well. It should have a mechanism which should disable itself (or lower the power) to reduce heat. Good to know, thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Jaxom84:
It actually has one (the protection against overheating), but it didn't protect the product as well as intended/advertised. The customer service refunded me fully (I sent them a video showing the device being attached, powered on and having no effect on my S23U with wireless charging enabled). I was quite surprising that it was still able to operate wired, especially after how hot it ran when I got the issue. I assume it's only the wireless part that needs some rework. 😕
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Mozie:
Hmmm yes I get it, strange though 🤔
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] grangermoch:
I am curious to your feedback, have you received the Mous case yet? Is it worth $70? I just bought a few cheap magsafe cases on Amazon and they're decent but not great.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] SUNUN:
Hi.

Who used this cases? Any suggestions? https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BQ7B1NGJ/ref=ox_sc_saved_image_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

The case is really nice in my opinion. I normally use Spigen tough armour cases for my Samsung phones. I think the quality of the mous case is a bit better (better buttons, the lip on the top and bottom is more raised so gives slightly more better protection, I appreciate the soft inner layer and looks more premium. The magnet is really solid as well and its not something that comes with all Spigen cases. Ive only used the magnet with an iPhone magsafe carholder and had no issues. It has a really strong magnetic connection. Not tried wireless charging with the magnets so cannot comment on that. The only issue I have had is with the Mous screen protector. Their a bit crap because their hard to install and leave a gap at the bottom which is a bit too big for my liking (approx 3mm of screen has no coverage).
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Jaxom84:
I use the official Samsung screen protector in combination with my Mous case, perfect fit. 👌
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] amirage:
The official leather case looks good on this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] corb06:
Loving the ESR Boost Kickstand case. ESR LINK

Adjustable between 30 and 60 degrees. And also can make the phone stand in portrait mode.

And I also got the Whitestone Dome Glass screen protector on. Very neat!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] seriosbrad:
Mous got back to me and said the gap is normal, but looking at your pics here, you really don't seem to have the gap. Hmm.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Jaxom84:
Are you still in the time frame for an exchange? 🤔
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] seriosbrad:
Yeah, but I'm not that bothered to be honest. Looking at some YouTube reviews of the case it seems like a lot of other people have the gap as well. I'm sure Mous just considers it within tolerance considering what they told me. I got crafty and just put some thin foam inbetween it for now.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] BURN6:
For the last 5 years I have not used anything else on my devices than this. For me the best choice in terms of weight, and protection while maintaining size. But the most important thing for me is the feeling of a premium device for which I paid the premium price and this product, unlike plastic, rubber, fake leather and similar covers, definitely offers that.

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] _GRIZZLY_:
I had spigen tough armor overall it's good case but not good for me because hard feel volume keys. It's frustrating especially during cell.

I first time bought UAG Plyo. Before I used usually spigen liquid crystal for visibility phone but quality (faster make darker than previous generation) in my opnion is worse than few years ago ( use from Note 9).

I recommended this UAG. Good grip and protection. It look like boosted spigen liquid and more rectangular. It's smaller, narrower compare to Monarch version.

Now this is my N1 in clear case but it's expensive like only one piece material.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] DoobyDroid:
The only case you need quality case for a quality phone
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] ekerbuddyeker:
I was just wondering, what makes these cases better than other cases? They are very expensive.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] hand-filer:
You have to wonder why a case that expensive only comes with a 2 month warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] freezingpoint:
How is the fit on the phone? I heard about the button side being loose, especially when compared to the other side.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] panday74:
I’m using a UAG pathfinder SE series case paired with Amfilm tempered glass. Not fitment issue. I cured the tempered glass for like 20 min before putting on the uag case.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] _GRIZZLY_:
In my opnion is good. Overall fit is better than spigen liquid cristal, probably thank to thicker build.

Now I check left side and button and yes, button side is little less stiff when I try "unstick" with my fingers but isn't loose.

Just because another company is choosing not to offer warranty, doesn't mean we the consumers should accept it. I don't give my money to companies like these.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] peterg21:
Who here is saying you should? I am simply pointing out the way things are.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] seriosbrad:
Not sure if you are that interested in this, but I just got a very unexpected reply from support again, it was unprompted because I didn't reply back after their answer that the gap was normal. But they are now claiming it is indeed a defect and will be sending a replacement. It's nice that they are coming back to old support tickets to verify things were handled correctly.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Jaxom84:
I'm personally not "interested" in the meaning that my case is fine and don't require anything related for now, but I'm delightedto read that the support will be that good if I need their help someday. Great news for you! 🙌
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] m20120:
I have been a fan of the Spigen cases for the past several years. So I immediately looked there when I Upgrades to the S23 Ultra. I wanted something that would protect my phone, but also the camera lenses. I was not too keen on putting on a lens protector that would protect the lenses but might degrade the image.

I am really liking the Spigen Optik Armor case. I like the idea of a shutter to protect the camera when I am not using it. The case is a bit bigger but does not add too much bulk to the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] _GRIZZLY_:
Anybody have leather cover from samsung?

How quality is this case?

I read posts about very hard take off but fit very good thanks it.

Is it true?

Now I have UAG Plyo and it's very good case but I have leather cover in my fold 2 and my feeling is very nice - smell real leather ;)

Used light grey leather cover in s22U but corners wiped out fast.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] aureum:
Is anyone have any expirience with Nillkin cases? I'm looking case with strap. I read that official samsung one is a crap and also i do not like the look.

I found something like this:

Nillkin Strap case for Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra

Buy Nillkin Strap case for Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra - Nillkin Strap case for Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. %H1% Strap Case is a protective case with a rope strap, which is designed for leisure, sports, work and other daily life.

nillkin.org

But i can't find any reliable review, specially if it comfy to use it with right hand as pictures shows only left hand...

Or maybe someone can recommend different case with strap?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] ekerbuddyeker:
I have it. It's still my goto case. Very easy to put on. Very light and comfortable to hold. I also have the Samsung silicon one but that one is a fluff magnet unfortunately. I also have the Samsung clear one but that is very hard to put on and I always worry that it will scratch the phone. Also, I don't think it looks very good on my bespoke gray color device.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] TeeKay35:
Tried the Ringke Onyx first but it felt like i downgraded on the phone, sent it back and got the pitaka, just feels so much better tbh, makes the phone feel a class above the Ringke Onyx
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] _GRIZZLY_:
Thanks for answer. So overall are you recommend this leather case for s23?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] ekerbuddyeker:
I like it.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] hand-filer:
I had one for my S22 Ultra. It looked great and felt great but didn't survive a 2 foot drop without sustaining damage. Mine slid out of my pocket while I was bent down in the garage filling a tire. It landed on a corner on the clean epoxy coated floor and that was the end of that case. From package to phone to garbage can in fairly short order 😂

If you want that leather look and feel consider the Bellroy case. Much better design for daily use. It's not quite as pretty as the Samsung but it has much better corner protection.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Jaxom84:
You read well, fit is great. I'm still a little bothered by the fact that this case is 60€ as the leather is really thin and feels a little like faux-leather (I'm more used to have horse, cow or goat leather, maybe that's why).
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] _GRIZZLY_:
Thanks for answer. So I probably order one in light brown (got in F2) color for points from samsungs store, thanks to buy S23U.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] volcolm:
I remember when Otterbox defender cases used to be maybe around the $40 mark, and that was pushing expensive. Now they're $80 here, and half the reviews on Amazon aren't pleased.

Debating a S23U phone but want something that's friendly with both bulk and being mounted to a bike frame holder or a gimbal.

I might bite the bullet and just buy a Pelican case though. Uncertain.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Justas A.:
The official transparent Samsung case is good. Doesn't cover the beautiful green color and is pretty slim. Already survived one drop face down :). The reviews are bad on it just because it doesn't take off easily, but that's just an advantage in my opinion.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] _GRIZZLY_:
Nice I like transparent case for see color device like you. Only I am wonder about change color or not this case after weeks or months like similar for example spigen lquid cristal.

Unfortunately I read a lot of opinions about very low quality, gentle leather in original leather cover. Similar to year back version for S22U which I had.

So anybody use/used cover from Torro manufacture?

Far from "almost easily" :) His hands are shaking!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] GroovyGeek:
Cant speak for the Sammy clear case, but I made the mistake of buying the Sammy leather case with my credit. Total pain in the ass to take off. What is worse it does not play well will screen protectors. It wraps around too closely to the edge of the stupid curved screen and lifts the screen protector. It managed to destroy two Ringke wrap around protectors within 2 weeks, and then lifted a glass screen protector in 3 days. I have switched to the Spigen clear case with the Spigen neofilm. So far so good, though I suspect that the moment I want to take the case off for cleaning I will have to apply another screen protectors. Those curved egdes are a total PITA and a pointless bit of engineering that achieves nothing but add cost and degrade the user experience.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] GroovyGeek:
I have it and advise against getting it. Taking it off is difficult but you will not have to take it off too much so I think this is a non issue. The bigger problem is that the edge of the case wraps too much around the edge of the screen and does not play well with screen protectors. The camera lens openings in the back are a perfect fit for the naked lenses, if you put lens protectors on the fit is uncomfortably tight. I am also pretty rough on my cases and after 3 weeks there was noticeable wear of the color and surface of the case, particularly the edges. Would not recommend it if you have to pay money for it.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] GroovyGeek:
Good move. I just did the 75s cure recommended by Amfilm and the glass lifted within days. The upside was that there was no cleanup required 😀
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] ggrant3876:
I've stuck to my go to case on the S23 Ultra, Otterbox Defender Pro. Some say it's old technology, too expensive but since I get 3 new flagships every 2 years I can't see putting a $1,300.00 phone in a $10.00 case. Been using Otterbox since around 2009 and have NEVER cracked a screen or broken a phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] ekerbuddyeker:
I have this too. Fingerprint magnet!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] theboz1419:
I received a Caseborne for my S23. I had it on for a couple weeks and yesterday I decided to take it out of the case and clean it up some. I noticed I had a crack on the back edge half way between the power button and the bottom corner. I'm positive the crack was not there prior.

I also can't put blame on the case, as I don't see anything that would cause it to crack in that area.

I did drop my phone a couple of times but only from waste high and it looked like the case did its job and the phone just bounced a little and the ground was flat cement. Nothing that my prior S22 or any phone in a case would have survived just fine.

I do suspect it broke while in my pocket while at work from me sitting on a hard surface while fixing a Customers machine.

So, anyways, even though you have it in a case, regardless of the caseit can still break.

I just had to pay the deductible and I recieved my new phone over night.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] _GRIZZLY_:
I suppose so you are have any dark color?

In my blue I didn't see fingers trace.

UAG plasma case works great so far.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] pogi.paul0119:
Samsung official clear hard case plus unknown uv glass and a cheap stick on back stand ( to protect the lenses as well ) working well on mine.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] alfred_mcskee:
Spigen liquid Air cases have been my go to everyday case for the past 3 or 4 Samsung phones. Something about the balance between protection, weight/profile and the feel of the pattern is just really nice to me

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0BJSB91LK?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

However, I've also bought the Caseology Nano Pop & although a bit bulkier than the Liquid Air and smooth across most of the case, it does feel really nice too & there are grippy sections on the sides, in just the right places, so you have confidence when holding it. I got black/sesame to go with my Graphite S23U (not that you can tell under the case!), but also going to order the Blue/yellow as well & think these will become my everyday cases.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0BHFBK536?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

I've also got the Samsung official rugged gadget case & like the overall design, colours & practicality of it, but find the lanyard loop really annoying, to the point I've not properly used the case outdoors, even though there are time I could use the kickstand (which feels sturdy & premium imo). I saw elsewhere someone had "cut" their loop off, but I wondering if it'll spoil the remaining outside of the corner of the case (from a practical stand point, encourage greater corner wear etc). I'm not sure if I crudely cut it off, what I could do to protect or even seal (if thats the right term) the plastic underneath...?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] ekerbuddyeker:
I keep buying different cases, but in the end I find the original Samsung cases the best, especially the leather one.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] SyCoREAPER:
So far all the cases I've tried suck. S20 U, S22U, S22U I used Unicorn Beatle Pro cases but those weren't available when I got my S23 Ultra. So I went with clones and none have gone above the screen. IOW, the screen sits level or above the edges of the case.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] ssj100:
I've tried many cases in the past, particularly in the context of since Samsung changed their camera design so that the phone rocks quite obviously when placed on its back (?since S21 Ultra). The vast majority of cases have either been too bulky for my liking, still rocks the phone when placed on its back, and/or not grippy enough.

I settled on the Latercase for my S21 Ultra, as I really liked the slimness (basically unbeatable - you literally can't get it much thinner/lighter than that case) on an already relatively bulky/heavy phone. However, it was far from perfect - due to being so thin/light, the case can't prevent the rocking when placed on its back. Secondly, protection is very minimal, so it makes you somewhat nervous placing the phone down any where in any way!

I literally got the Samsung leather case (black) for free with my S23 Ultra - I would get any case for free regardless, so I simply ordered the more/most expensive Samsung case I could find that I might actually like. I was pleasantly surprised how good the case has been, and had forgotten what it's like not having the phone rock at all on its back. It's definitely bulkier than the Latercase, but still slim enough not to affect things in any negative way for me in everyday use (for example, I can still use the phone one-handed easily enough, including texting/messaging, I guess thanks to having relatively large hands, and it fits/slides in my pocket easily enough etc). I also forgot how nice it is to have a slightly more "protected feeling" compared to ultra-minimalist design of the Latercase.

Taking off the leather case is indeed difficult, but actually gets easier after several times doing it (it's actually similarly difficult to taking off the Latercase, and there's a method to do it so it's quite easy actually). I've also been pleasantly surprised by how grippy the case can get, especially when hands are not completely dry/cold. I actually think the grip is getting better with time as the leather slowly wears. I haven't noticed any issues with discolouration that some people are reporting, but perhaps because I have the black case. I'd suggest to those people to try firmly cleaning those areas and see if the discolouration is actually due to some "staining" effect.

In summary, I'm not sure if a case can get much better than the Samsung leather case in terms of being as thin as possible AND having absolutely no rocking on a flat surface.

The only aspect I don't like about the leather case so far is how the 3x camera is completely surrounded by the case - this is obviously a good thing in terms of protection, but is actually a bad thing in terms of increased dust collection rate. I had the same issue with the Latercase, and basically any case design like that (seems to be quite popular now) will have this issue. Probably the most optimal way to reduce the dust collection rate (while still maintaining a good degree of 3x camera lens protection) in this context is to have the 3x camera part "open" with the Flash LED and Laser AF, which I think many cases from Spigen have.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] saadC:
my recommendation: Go Naked! Love your device naked and get an insurance so you have the protection ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] oVeRdOsE.:
Caseology (amazon)

Pros :

- slim

- clear glass ( nice for decals, I have the something decal)

- Grip on the side (very useful for this big phone)

- Cheap

- Air gap in the corners (for ''air cushion)

- no cheap feel.

- edge protection (hard with UV glued glasses)

Cons :

- the ''black'' version is more charcoal.

- Volume button in 1 piece.

- Decrease the clickyness quality.

- 3 trial to get the cover on without lifting the UV glued glass. Found a way : need to insert the phone from the largest side first, not from the top or bottom.

- rock on the table. Not bad as naked, but the camera pump is not 100% flat. However the phone is very usable on a flat surface.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] enigmaamit:
I've had this case since i got my phone. No yellowing so far and none expected because this is not TPU (the soft material most clear cases are made from), it's completely made of hard polycarbonate (which does't undergo discoloration easily). Although I expect that it will pick up scratches over time with constant placement on hard surfaces - that's just how abrasion works...

Another disadvantage of using 100% hard material (PC) for a case is that being very stiff, you cannot make a case that provides all around protection, hence the case is partially open at the bottom. Without this, it would be impossible to get the case onto the phone without breaking one of them.

However, it shows off the phone color beautifully and is built very well. Hard to take off till you figure out the correct way (Samsung actually provides clear instructions on how to remove it)

It is one of my 4 go-to cases that i use for weekly rotation depending on how "showy" I'm feeling :p
