Cases, cases and more cases!!

Well my husband has the Samsung Leather case with a Zagg protector and dropped his phone last night and cracked the screen. His phone is at the fix it store now $29 for cracked screen through Verizon. The guy there and the Verizon lady said get an Otterbox so I told him we need to get him one or is their something better or just as good on Amazon? I hope everything turns out okay. The Zagg with a better case should help I hope. Best Buy said whenever we needed a new one they put one on so I hope they have one in stock. We just need a better case and he's never dropped a phone like this before. I guess I could read this thread again and see what guys were getting.
 
How? Amazon says currently not available. Anyway, this case looks interesting! Looks similar to the Supcase except it has a camera protector which looks very appealing to me. Will wait to see what the reviews are. Like to see what the texture is like.

Has anyone tried this case? I am reading over some of these post and I forgot my husband has a $50 credit with Samsung but I don't really like their cases especially the leather one does anyone know which one is their most protective. This Tongate one looks nice and I am looking at Sup Case on Amazon then I will look at Otterbox. Someone mentioned Tech 21 EVO Max with back cover for camera but I didn't see that one for S23 Ultra.

So I order the OtterBox commuter for pickup at Best Buy knowing that once they fix my husband's phone screen I'll have to go there anyway to get another Zagg put on. Turns out I get a call saying after the screen was fixed it didn't pass the test and there is a 5G MM Wave one out of the two isn't working and needs to be replaced. So now we're waiting for the part from Samsung which will be a few days. They loaned us an S10. I was going to just take the phone and bring it back when the part came in but was told no. I hate that this happened.

I am so sorry that this has happened. I'm sure it's very disappointing as the phone is so new. :confused: Hopefully, after the repairs are completed, everything will be working 100%!!

Thanks! I just know we had no signal at work with his s22 Ultra but he did with the 23U so I hope it's the same once it's fixed. But yes very disappointing this phone is so new but 29 bucks for a cracked screen wasn't bad.

I'm sorry that happened to you! Hopefully you'll get your new phone back soon and all will be well!
 
I've gone for the green UAG Pathfinder case and the Otterbox Commuter case via Amazon UK

I had the UAG case on my previous iphone 14 Pro Max and it's a superb case, fits the phone superbly and it's screen protector friendly too

Some of you should be working for UAG. I've been on the fence about this case since I first saw it on YouTube. I had some reward points I needed to use from Best Buy so I went ahead and bought it. It is not as big as I had imagined it to be. Feels good in the hand. Would be nice if they offered it in different colors, like green. Lol20230418_132653.jpg

Feels like I'm the only person who doesn't like the monarch pro, sent mine back after a week.

I thought it felt awful in the hand . The edges are too square, it feels like holding a house brick. The look is also a bit much for me in person... I'm all about bold (I have the lime S23 ultra, and wish it was more neon lol), but the monarch pro looks like a mid-life crisis to me haha

Different strokes I suppose...

You are not the only one who doesn't like the Monarch Pro. That is why I bought the METROPOLIS LT PRO. Much better feel and it not as big as some of the other UAG cases. Honestly, I'm not a big fan of UAG cases, but this case is different. It is good.

Maybe I'll give them another chance with a metropolis or one of their other cases if I get bored of the mous one I'm using now.

I also ordered the one with 27 bucks, with two front frames from tongat
 
I got both the Peak Design and MagBak magsafe cases for the S23 ultra. Both are great cases strong magnets and the pen works with both (without attachments).

The MagBak is a bit thicker and silicone based. But great case overall

The Peak Design will be my new permanent case. It feels so nice in the hands slimmer profile and looks really nice. It has a fabric kind of material on the back.

Note that both cases have small USB C cutouts, so thick ports may not fit. My USB C cable which displays charging wattage was too big for both.
