Cases, cases and more cases!!

There are two shapes/types of stretch PopGrips. May I ask which is better for the S23 Ultra'a shape please? Thank you.

What's up, I can now confirm that, as someone else thought, the round one is the correct choice, at least with the Samsung Clear slim case.

Also, judging by your comments, I think you would like that case. it actually may be a bit too minimal for me, it's just a couple of millimetres of clear plastic.

Now, did your surgery just impact dexterity or strength as well? I ask because you should know the grip is a pretty tight fit . I think it will loosen up over time as the spring mechanism wears, but you may have issues moving it up and down the case. The plus side is that it is very secure.. I'd just hate to recommend something that would give someone trouble But then, you can't move a traditional pop socket at all anyway. On that topic I also tested a traditional PopGrip and can confirm that it sticks to the samsung clear case like shi...mud to a pig.

Anyway, enough rambling and trying to be helpful. I'm going back to sarcasm and narrowly avoiding being banned. Unless you have further questions, which I will do my best to answer.

Caseology Parallax is my personal favorite. It's grippy, not too bulky or too slim, built extremely well, doesn't pick up lint or fingerprints at all, and the indents on the back for your fingers are better than any other case I've tried for secure one-handed usage. It also fills all the gaps between the camera modules for a nice "flush" look.

Spigen has a case out with a sliding camera guard which was interesting, but I've tried those cases in the past and found they were more hassle than it was worth. It would be great for rougher environments, but working in an office I don't have too many hazards haha.

Nice to have so many options, and with Amazon, everyone is so cheap you can try a few and not worry too much about it.

I do really like what they do with the camera cutouts, much nicer than the disgusting "P" most manufacturers use.

Do we know if there's an actual tangible difference between the kevlar and carbon fibre other than price?

 

[me just saying]

just went case shopping on amazon. ordered two

tried the cases on the new phone. the second case disappointed me. Fits great but it is darker than the image on amazon - almost black.

I have the same case just without the stand. What stand is that and how did you manage to get it on the case since it is not flat?

Interesting... I wonder if she is jealous of how much attention you pay your phone?

Also, the Unicorn Beetle is indeed a very good case, especially for it's price point. I'd recommend it over an Otterbox any day.

Sorry I missed responding to this. My Sister's parrot was like that. Anything that interfered with his interaction with her was a problem. He'd pull whatever he could from her hand to make sure he was the focus of all her attention. Her husband would leave the room if Paco was out of his cage.

In my case, I was taking a picture of Louise & inadvertently left the flash on. It scared her & she waged a war against phones from that moment forward. The Unicorn Beetle Pro has saved my devices many times. She's relentless & is definitely on a mission to destroy.

Ordered. Had it on my N20U and S22U and will be rocking it on my S23U. The best case if you want the thinnest profile and feel in hand while protection with a hard shell to prevent any scuff to the phone and protecting the camera area.

But on reserve so not sure how long I'll have to wait. Will probably find a thin/clear Spigen to protect while waiting.

Maybe...

I don't think she can be blamed in that case lol, poor thing.

I don't know a lot about parrots, but I do know some species bond with their human and get a little obsessive, which is why I was wondering

I definitely felt bad for scaring her, but fortunately, she is resilient & seems to enjoy knocking my phone to the floor. Louise also displays what I describe as 'trash talking' as she watches the phone fall, then struts off victoriously. I do try to keep my phone out of her eyesight, but since she can fly....

Got home and my casemate case for my lavender ultra was waiting for me. I kinda like it! View attachment 351117

Can't wait to see your lavender phone in it. I'm gonna see what mine looks like in my I-Blason I got lavender too but someone else has the same case I got and had sky blue and it was nice.

I got one of these in purple for my s23U. It's awesome. Definitely my favorite so far. I previously used the Supcase unicorn beetle pro as I'm clumsy And drop my phone all the time. This unicorn beetle pro survived multiple drops and when it did break once, I had no problems getting a replacement through the lifetime warranty. My s22u was never damaged. However, it felt very bulky in my hand but I did like the kickstand feature.

The new caseborne case provides just as great protection but feels less bulky in my hand and also has a very easy to use kickstand. I am sold and I'll stick with this company. Highly recommend this if you want significant drop protection without crazy bulk.

 

[Rose4uKY]

Here's mine! I still need a popsocket and I want a Zagg but this I-blason has a built in screen protector but I usually take it off but it's on for now. It came out sideways. Who ever else has this case or had over in the 22 do you use the buit in protector or get a better one?

Browsing options for my black phone, it has been a while since I've done black.

Tech21 Evo Check in purple on the way, will likely be my mom's as I'm worried the bulk of the otterbox she wanted would overwhelm her.
Loopy in abalone in my sights (out March)
Samsung silicone strap black on the way (because... free, curious if it's comfy. I probably should've gotten the leather, which I always find a nice option.)
VelvetCaviar is one I've liked on my S22U (a few I like pictured, the coffee please, evil eye, black wildflowers) but likely to wait for a BOGO or something - they do have matching rings (not comfy but saves my poor pinkies)
Caseology has so many fun options, but dang the price, haven't gone for one yet

Browsing still, always fun to poke at options. I am seeing really mixed initial reviews on MagSafe cases for S23U but I did like the idea. May wait for more reviews.

It thankfully sticks strongly enough on the surface it does make contact with to make it more than sturdy enough

I Blason is making the Armor Box again. since they're the same company as Supcase why are they making basically the same case again? Armorbox used to be a harder plastic than the Unicorn Beetle Pro then they quit making it for the S line for awhile. I just remember them being very tough to get off.

Waiting for the LED view case, from Samsung to come out.

My go to for my last three phones is the ESR Boost Kickstand Case for Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. I have to have a case with a kickstand to keep my phone off the bar. Lol. And since it's clear, you can still see the color of your phone. It also has reinforced corners for added protection, which has saved me more than once.

It is currently on Amazon for less than $19. Great buy for that price.

Has that been announced, or are you just hopeful?
