Cases, cases and more cases!!

I purchased a Torras Smoked first from Amazon and it seems nice. Have a Caseology Parallax Black arriving this evening. Always liked the Samsung Leather cases so I'll probably pickup one in Green when in stock. Also looking at the Bellroy Leather in Navy. Seems to be mostly leather this year and nice. Want a Silicone feel without the grip in pocket so looking at Incipio Duo or Grip? For outdoors thinking the Caseborne? Or Unicorne beetle? And lastly I think I might like a Caudabe case. They are releasing in the next month or so and I hope they have individual Camera Cutouts and not the P shape. Am I crazy?
 
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?
Looks great. I recognize that case.

Oh and Rose I chose to not use built in screen it gave me trouble unlocking S23 ultra with finger print. I also already have a screen protector

The only brand name MagSafe cases priced reasonably came from Ringke and Spigen. I decided to keep the Ringke Fusion Magnetic over the Spigen Ultra Hybrid OneTapRing as the latter's magnetic ring was actually fixed to the outside of the case, which would not only add/create further wobble, but might get yanked off altogether with a magnetic accessory down the road. The Ringke performs well for the desired MagSafe functionality, both for charging and mounting. (End of advertisement )

Thanks for speaking to both. Ringke does good cases in general (matte fusion is usually my first buy the past few years), so that may be the magsafe option I try out now.

Now that you mention it, one more reason for taking the Ringke over the Spigen was that the Ringke has a matte finish whereas the Spigen is "crystal clear" aka reflection-city.

I need to see more cases I've always gotten spigen cases but I feel like trying a new 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. View attachment 351349View attachment 351351View attachment 351352View attachment 351353View attachment 351354View attachment 351355
I can't wait for the Loopy cases to release! I'm so lost without my Loopy case

I'm impressed with the Caseborne case for my S23 Ultra.

The design of this case is very sleek. I went with the all black case. It's easy to hold in the hand and has outstanding design. I get compliments all of the time from people who see this case.

The drop protection is crazy good. The foam padding inside the case has nice shock absorption. The raised edges protect the screen well and their is good grip to the side of the case.

The kickstand is designed extremely well. I watch games all of the time on my phone and just prop it up with the kickstand. Makes for very enjoyable viewing.

They are reasonably priced on Amazon.
 
I stuck with my go to favorite OtterBox commuter case.

Aramid fiber case from Amazon. Looks and feels good in the hand

Got the same case as for my last five Note/S-series Samsung phones. For some reason this one works better for me compared to other cases:

Encased Belt Case for Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra with Holster Clip [Military Grade] 10Ft Shockproof Protection - Rebel Series (S23 Ultra 6.8-inch) https://a.co/d/4kJCsz2
 
I ordered the UAG Kevlar case for my S23+.
Not bad with 4 AfterPay charges. ;)
Mav. :cool:

I've decided to stick with the UAG Monarch Pro Kevlar for now. So little Kevlar! 20230218_011438.jpg

Two more case updates. I'm impressed again with the Tech 21 Evo Tactile Grip case. Used that one most of last year for my S22 Ultra. Got it in the mail today and the design seems slightly improved from last year. It is light weight, provides good grip and is screen protector friendly. This is my go to case as of now, with the Caseborne case being a close second.

I did try to Speck Presidio 2 Grip case as well, but unfortunately for the second year in a row it isn't compatible with the AmFilm or Whitestone Dome screen protectors. I did like it's design and the way it protected the phone. Sent it in today for a return.
 
These were the two cases I'm deciding between while I wait on my Burga cases to get here from Europe. The first is a Velvet Caviar White Croc case. Love the monochromatic look and the case feels good in hand and no problem with the buttons as others had mentioned. The other case is a Gvuewin from Amazon and reminds me a lot of a Burga tough case but better in the fact the bumper adds a nice color pop instead of the boring black of Burga tough. The Burga cases I have coming are snap and not tough as I like the thin minimalist feel and I'm not terribly hard on my phone.

It's nice to have options now for feminine phone cases instead of the masculine ones that dominated the Note world for many years.

Those are nice I really like the purple one.
