Finest Samsung Galaxy S22, S22 Plus and S22 Extremely Instances for 2023

Main 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 Good-Clear Ombre, Presidio2 Grip and Presidio Good-Clear. 

All the brand new fashions have excellent 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. Generally Speck presents reductions to first-time consumers on its web site.

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 have beveled edges to guard your telephone. Proven 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 building, however the Copenhagen, made out of 52% plant-based materials, is technically essentially the most eco-friendly.

When you’re on the lookout for an affordable clear case to your new Galaxy S22, Spigen’s Extremely Hybrid is an efficient worth at round $15 to $17, relying on the model you get. I just like the Extremely Hybrid S (second from the left in picture), which has an built-in kickstand. The Neo Hybrid, on the far proper, is a reasonably fundamental case, whereas the Cryo Armor (second from proper) is a $22 triple layer “gaming” case that is designed to “soak 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, aside from the slimmest fashions, supply affordable safety. If you’d like a tricky case with first rate safety, get certainly one of its Armor fashions.

Be aware that plenty of these cheaper clear circumstances have a behavior of turning yellow and degrading over time, which makes them much less translucent. However they’re low-cost sufficient that you simply most likely will not thoughts shelling out for a alternative if and when that occurs.

The corporate’s tremendous protecting Defender sequence case is obtainable for all of the Galaxy S22 fashions, however most individuals need one thing much less cumbersome. I just like the Symmetry sequence circumstances — they’re slim with beveled edges, making them mixture of glossy and protecting. That stated, I’ve come to love the extra protecting Commuter Collection higher, due to 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 therapy. 

Rokform’s been making powerful smartphone circumstances for years and other than their sturdiness, their key function is the power to make use of them with varied mounts — together with bike, automobile and motorbike mounts — which are bought individually.

Rokform’s circumstances have detachable magnets they usually’re suitable with wi-fi charging in the event you take away the included heart magnet. “With the decrease magnet nonetheless intact, you may nonetheless wireless-charge whereas using magnetic mounting and all of our mounts,” Rokform says.

Accessible in just a few shade choices, Raptic’s Defend 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 therapy. 

Samsung’s Clear Standing Cowl is not something fancy however it’s a protecting clear case that has an built-in kickstand. You possibly 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.

Accessible in black, burgundy and lightweight 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 no kickstand, however in the event you’re on the lookout 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 have got 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 is solely out there in black for now.

Otterbox additionally makes the Strada Through folio, however I desire this mannequin.

Cyrill is a sub-brand of Spigen and like Spigen, its circumstances typically 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 End case (the blue and crimson circumstances in picture), 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 nicely.

Significantly with the 2 bigger fashions of the Galaxy S22, I discover that having an built-in kickstand is a pleasant function 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 is attractively designed however I would not name it tremendous powerful — it is not enclosed on the backside and has 6-foot drop safety. (Be aware that some circumstances on this listing have larger 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 completely different eye-catching kinds, all of them lined with the AiroShock materials that the corporate says delivers wonderful safety in a slim design. They do appear sturdy and all embody a lifetime guarantee.

Mous’ Limitless 3.0 circumstances are suitable with the corporate’s Limitless 3.0 equipment. That features a pockets that magnetically adheres to the again of the telephone case and some mounts, certainly one of which is an air-vent mount to your automobile. 

It is also price 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. It’s also possible to seize choose kinds on sale proper now at Mous.
