Cases, cases and more cases!!

I suspect that any wireless charger would probably intterfere with the S-Pen. Wireless charging uses induction and the S-Pen uses induction.

As any engineer will tell you H+H=

I think I'm finally going to order a case tonight or tomorrow though and plan to get a PopSocket too, so I will report back with my findings.

This screenshot was taken while on my wireless charger. The wireless charging didn't affect the SPen functionality on the screen.

Oooh! Science!

I was way too tired and lazy to test myself last night, but it's good and interesting to know that Wireless charging doesn't necessarily interfere with the S-Pen.

I use the Scosche line of phone holders. This is the current one in my Vee Dub. I can pop it off at a show, if needed.

They have a line of thin metal plates in different sizes that stick to back of or can slide into a case.

Any minimal non-boxy S23 Ultra cases ?

Anyone find a minimal S23 Ultra case you like, preferably one with somewhat rounded sides ?

For all the phones I've owned I always buy a clear minimal case for it. I was curious to hear from others who have a minimal case which you have and how you like it. I'm coming from a Note 10+ prior to my Ultra 23. I really like the feel of the Note 10+ curved design more than the boxier Ultra 23. I was curious if anyone has found a minimal case that doesn't feel so boxy in the hand. I know due to the box design of the Ultra 23 however, majority of cases made for it will hug it's frame and feel boxy in the hand. But still, I was curious if anyone found a decent minimal case that a bit more rounded or curved on the sides.

I have this one from Renmou- https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BPHQPGS...ag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU7139554

It's not bad at all, it fits nice and snug, I haven't found any areas around the case that feel loose or flimsy. The raised lips on the front and around the camera lenses are 1.2 MM which is nice I guess. If feels boxy but is a good case. Main reason I went with this one was I needed a case ASAP for when my phone came weeks ago. It had good reviews and a %40 off coupon on Amazon at the time, kind of cancelled out the extra shipping cost to get it the next day. I'd recommend it to anyone, it really is a nice sturdy case and shows off the color phone you picked.

Re: Any minimal non-boxy S23 Ultra cases ?

I bought this on Amazon and by the time I picked up the phone and learned I was getting a $100 gift card it was too late to cancel. I ended up getting a UAG Metropolis LT Pro with that money. This one came yesterday and I put it on for less than a minute before deciding it was going back. At twice the price, the UAG is a much nicer case.

I decided to give it a second chance today and after giving it a bit, I'm starting to like how understated it is. I've never been a bulky case kind of guy and the UAG is toeing that line for me but this one is slim and the edges curve nicely. It's also got a nice velvety feel on the back and edges.

Ugh... I just now looked down at the case and the smudges all over the back caught the light. Boooo.

Edit: what's going on with the formatting?

Re: Any minimal non-boxy S23 Ultra cases ?

People are complaining about the Samsung clear case, but I love it. I bought the leather case with my credits, and it is nice, but I want to see my lime phone! I always buy the Spigen Ultra Hybrid clear and ultra hybrid clear S (with kickstand), but I found the sides stick up a bit more than the Samsung clear case and interfere just a little bit with my swipes from the sides. I also bought the S-view and Strap cases with my credits, but they both feel very bulky. I will say if you need grip, this is not the case for you. I'll probably use all of these cases at different times, but for now, if I could keep only one, it would be the Samsung clear case.

I really want to get the Pitaka or other carbon fiber thin case, but it's just too much money for a case I can't see in person first...

Big fan of the UAG Plyo clear for the 23 Ultra that I got right after the phone arrived. I was looking at a dBrand, but they couldn't even ship until now, and that would've meant a couple of weeks with no case. The UAG is nice and clear, the colors match the phone, looks great, and it is solid. Seems to offer a lot of protection. For those who like light and minimalist cases, that's not really this, but it strikes a good balance.

Finally set up my S23U and while I am waiting on my Kevlar LaterCase to arrive gonna rock the Spigen Ultra Hybrid Crystal Clear case to spend the week admiring the Green color. When I am not rocking the LaterCase I always go with Spigen.

I really wanted a third white after the last two on my N20U and S22U but not feeling the Cream. But loving this Green. Earthly tone. Satiny finish and has slight color shifts at different light and angles.

And the Samsung screen protector fits perfect and doesn’t stick out like glass.

I'll vouch for and recommend the LaterCase for those looking for a CF case. Had it on my N20U and then for my S22U and waiting for my case for my S23U. And I don't know if still available but there was a $5 off at the time so around $45 for me is fine.

Fits perfect. I like the camera area coverage/protection much better than the Pitaka. I wish the top and bottom was fully covered but never had any finish issues with it exposed and always in my pocket. Durable. Can rock it for a year or two, lay it down anywhere and still looks like new.

If you are not prone to dropping your phone, then CF cases are the best to get the smallest profile possible. I am rocking the Spigen Clear while waiting for my LaterCase and it's pretty nice but that extra 1mm on all sides does make a difference in feel.

Some pics of the LaterCase on my S22U and N20U.

 

[donm527]

My LaterCase was delivered yesterday when I got home from work. Gonna rock the Spigen for the week I think cause I’m digging the color and everyone that has seen it loves the color too. But sharing some CF/S23 phone pics. Some pics with the S22U wearing the LaterCase for a year for comparison and to see how it's been wearing. Holding the new case to get an idea of feel... that extra couple of mm thinner makes it feel better in hand.

Hi guys,

I just got to try out a case from Caseborne for my newly arrive S23 Ultra 512GB. I needed something slim for daily usage in the house.

It's their Thinborne compatible with Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra 5G Case - [Extremely Thin Aramid Fiber Cover], Minimalist Style with Carbon Fiber Textures that can be purchased at Amazon.com

This fits the bill. So far loving the easy to carry and slim form factor. Just don't expect (temper expectations) of any drop protection, which I do not have any expectations for in the slightest at this time. I'll have another case for the outside and accidents on hand just in case.

Sorry about the watermark on the ZTE Axon 10 Pro but needed another camera to take a picture for you guys and forgot to disable the watermark feature!

I was considering this Torras case. Any chance of pics of the case on your phone?

I ended up sending it back, sorry. It was a little too loosey-goosey for my tastes. The UAG was also too bulky so I currently have no case.

I did attach a magnetic ring to the back of the phone so I can continue to use my magsafe accessories and am currently keeping my Apple wallet attached for a little grip.
