Samsung Galaxy S23 cases: the best third party protection keeps your new Galaxy S23 safe
Samsung Galaxy S23 cases: the best third party protection keeps your new Galaxy S23 safe
Save money and your phone's good looks with these options from the best case makers
Whether you just emptied your bank account into the new Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra or you just don’t like the Samsung Galaxy S23 cases offered by Samsung itself, there’s a whole wide world of protective smartphone cases out there. Now that you have your Galaxy S23 screen protector, it’s on to the next step – but it’s hard to know which one to get with the frankly dizzying number of them on the market.
I looked around to see what the most reputable case companies are offering and collected them here. After all, the impressive Samsung Galaxy S23 specs mean nothing if your screen is so busted you can’t use it.
One last note before we get to the new cases: it’s early days for Galaxy S23 cases, so there isn’t much out there from the brands I trust yet. Keep coming back over the next week as more cases are sure to come – Galaxy S23 Otterbox cases have been announced, but aren’t yet available for sale, for instance.
