Cases, cases and more cases!!

Re: Any minimal non-boxy S23 Ultra cases ?

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.

No, problem! Thanks for the feedback! That's good to know!

I think in Flossy's video he showed the Spigen Clear with MagSafe was a strong magnet on that one?

If you want thinner... Pitaka Kevlar case with MagSafe I think would be best choice.

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.

Does the Spigen clear case show fingerprints or is it good at not showing them? I was considering a different Spigen clear case and never had good luck with clear cases in the past
 
After my first 24 hours with it I was reminded that clear cases were fingerprint magnets as shown in pic after a full day. Reminded me why I like the Kevlar cases cause they don’t show oils and feel the same all day as where you can feel it on the clear cases. Need to wipe the clear case now and then but for a clear case I like it.

Case for phone accessories

I have wanted a case, a mans electronic equipment type (purse) or something. I'm trying to get a nice holder I can keep with me to carry portable phone charger, micro sd and sd card case, thumb drives, cables etc. I have been trying to figure best carry case ??? for this since I first got my s21ultra 2 years ago. Anyone got any suggestions?
 
Re: Case for phone accessories

Hm, I've never contemplated getting accessories for my accessories. Maybe a utility belt?

Sounds good, just like Batman ??????, just wanted something to put all my equipment in, just incase we go on Vacation or out of town. Even thought about using one of my black cases that have combination locks on them. Also has foam to protect equipment.
 
Yes, thank you so much for testing! This is what I was afraid of. These other reviewers aren't properly testing for this. Looks like I'll have to pass on magsafe until samsung can make the proper adjustments for it.

I doubt Samsung is going to make adjustments for an Apple feature. That said, I tested my UAG Monarch Pro Kevlar with a wireless magsafe charger on the back and did not experience SPen issues while charging. Maybe it's a matter of finding the right case and/charger.

Can confirm. Using a Monarch Pro (which I'm pretty sure is going back) I have no trouble using either the UAG battery pack or Magsafe PopSocket.

Also bear in mind that Magsafe isn't just an Apple feature anymore. It is being incorporated into Qi 2.

For the past few years the OtterBox commuter case has been my go to for all of my phones. It is slim but very protectful and screen protectors fit not like some cases.

Commuter is my favourite Otterbox line. Defender is too bulky for me.

I agree 100% the defender is way too bulky plus screen protectors don't work with them.

I had a commuter case for my S21 ultra. I liked it for a while, but after some time, the rubber portion on the upper right side of the case (were the buttons are), starts to sag. and creates a big gap letting a lots of dust particles into the side of the phone. I suspect a design flaw, since there is really no plastic material there holding the rubber part of the case in place....

So 11 cases so far lol. The first magsafe case was an Amazon cheap one, worked well but the UAG case is amazing! Also not really a fan of the samsung strap case. Wish it was like last years design

Is there a thread for what color people chose to get ? I wanna see what color people got because I'm torn a few colors myself.
