Get off my CASE!!

Just ordered this wallet for my jade green. I read somewhere Samsung isn't doing the flip cover.

I'm not a very adventurous person (read: I needed to reuse the $50 Snap Luxe 4 mount I just purchase a couple months back) so I kept the same low-key appearance:

OLD (S23U):

NEW (S25U):

I used pre order credit to get this:
Galaxy S25 Ultra Clear Case, Transparent

wasn't very happy with it, especially since I really wanted the Samsung Magnet case, but it was OOS before I pre-ordered. Its not terrible, but the hard plastic I'm sure wouldn't do much for drop protection. It is super slim though.

Just got this in the mail:
Spigen Thin Fit MagFit Designed for Galaxy S25 Ultra Case [Qi2 Certified/Magnet for Galaxy] (2025) - Black

I like the look and feel of it much better. Probably not much better for drop protection, but could see it being a tiny bit better. Need to go test out my wireless chargers now and see if they work with this magnet case.

I really like the look of the Pitaka and Benks cases posted here -- but I'm having a tough time convincing myself to pay that much for a case. Crazy I know after spending $1300 on the phone, but still...

I'm wondering also if there will be differences in magnet strengths on all these new magnet cases and if there's any issue with Spen. I never got a magnet case for my S24U because of all the review complaints about the Spen not working properly with them.

Screen protector is the ESR HD Clear, Anti Scratch Tempered glass with easy install and I can testify, it was by NO DOUBT the easiest install of a screen protector in my life. And it is installed perfectly to the phone to the point I had to light the screen up to make sure there was actually a protector applied. Brilliant install....

CASE: Since I like the separate holes for the cameras as I have on the S24U, I went with an unknown brand and very well made with extra protection on the corners.

I got the same ESR screen protector. Instructions weren't 100% crystal clear, but I managed to get it right on the first try

I could get used to the edge-to-edge coverage that is possible with flat screens.

Quite pleased with the end result
 
Stuck between buying this case or the Pitaka case. I only use minimalist cases because the Ultras are already big phones. Where are you getting the Benks at this price?

I'm really enjoying this case.

I broke down and ordered the Benks. Although it is slightly better than the Spigen Thin Fit Magfit I don't think it's worth double the price. The fiber texture is a nice touch, but it is not over the entire case , just the large portion of the back. Not crazy about the plasticy camera ring cut out either, for the price I think it should have cutouts for each lens. Will keep the Benks on until I find something better.

Anyone have experience with this brand Fiberborne?

After getting the Benks in my hands, all my complaints about it seem to be answered with this case (fiber design everywhere, individual lens cutouts) although at an even higher price.
 
Almost got this case myself but opted for the ArmorPro instead. Wanted the more uniform look instead of the exposed volume and power buttons.
I got the armor pro as well because of the buttons. But that picture of the Air shows the weave pattern all around, my pro doesn't have that, wish it did as it looks much better
 
do you think i should get a case or screen protector at &t or elsewhere they seem little high

still thinking about spigen since did it with s7 and s20 case wise going to call local cellar store tomorrow see what they got
 
i do see i can do a deal with spigen temp glass screen protector with a case but only thing available case get faster is either tough armor ai

Ultra Hybrid MagFit​

Spigen ultra Hybrid Designed​

Spigen Parallax MagFit​

I always get first the ArmadilloTek (now CaseBorne) for my phones; one clear, one tough.
But I only found one case from them for the GS25 Ultra in Amazon this time...

I also get a couple others, just in case, but we'll see how it goes this time around...
