It's impossible to choose a single best Galaxy S23 Ultra case, as everyone has different needs and tastes, but any of the options above should do a good job of keeping it safe. What should I look for when choosing an Galaxy S23 Ultra case? We found these cases from Cover-Up and thought they were too cool to keep quiet. Cover-Up uses shells and natural materials throughout its cases. That means each case is completely unique in design, and the designs are colorful and spectacular. These are certainly eye-catching cases. My title is Senior Features Writer, which is a license to write about absolutely anything if I can connect it to technology (I can). I’ve been at PCMag since 2011 and have covered the surveillance state, vaccination cards, ghost guns, voting, ISIS, art, fashion, film, design, gender bias, and more. You might have seen me on TV talking about these topics or heard me on your commute home on the radio or a podcast. Or maybe you’ve just seen my Bernie meme.

They also aren't expensive, and the Cover-Up cases somehow end up the most affordable cases on this list. They don't make many claims about durability, so you'll want to use a screen protector, or maybe more advanced protection if you need a case for more rugged tasks. Protection is key, of course, so look for things like military drop test standards, and other concrete information on this. Beyond that, consider how bulky you're okay with a case being - more protection tends to mean more bulk. You'll also want something that you like the look of, or if you want to show your phone off then maybe something transparent.
