The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is the top-shelf choice in the smartphone manufacturers offering for 2022. With a fresh coat of paint, superior cameras, and a hefty price tag, the Ultra phones in Samsung's line-up are aimed at enthusiasts and power users. While you are quick to put a lot of money toward the purchase, it is equally important for you to protect that purchase as well with a good phone case.
There is no better way to protect the purchase than buying a protective case and a screen protector to boot. Spending less than $50 on both means that in the event of a fall, you're able to protect the expensive touch screen and the glass back of the phone. It is true that the back of the phone has a strong corning gorilla glass rating on it, but it still doesn't protect the phone from every fall it endures.
With all that in mind, here are our picks for the best Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra phone cases you can buy today!
ESR Metal Kickstand
ESR is a well-known name in the world of smartphone cases, and they always make some of the best products when it comes to price and durability. This case is the best when it comes to letting you flex the colorful and vibrant glass back of your smartphone, while still being able to give it a layer of protection. The case also comes with a built-in kickstand to help make the phone stand at any place with relative ease. This makes it easier to make video calls, watch videos, or do anything without placing the phone flat on its back.
In addition, ESR's protection is still in place with sturdy protection, and the raised bezels on the phone's screen and back mean that in the event of a fall, the case will take a hit before it lets either side take damage. However, this can vary from one situation to the other, so we still recommend being careful with where you drop your phone.
If the clear case isn't to your liking, a textured black case is also available that does give the phone a nice feel to hold.
In addition, the case allows for wireless charging and further helps protect the glass back from taking unnecessary scratches.
Nillkin textured phone case
This is a unique case that offers function too. If you're keen on pristine cameras on the phone, the case comes with a sliding camera protector. The case offers a smooth texture finish that may look slippery to hold, but it has a good non-slip design which makes the phone feel firm to hold securely in your hands.
In addition, the case supports wireless charging and comes in three different color options (Blue, Green, and Black). There is also an added benefit of impact-resistant corners which will help the phone survive falls should it land on one of the corners.
This phone case is an option for people who are okay with giving up on flaunting the colorful back of the phone in exchange for added safety, easier grip on the phone, and are looking for a way to protect the precious cameras on the phone in the incident of a fall.
Spigen Ultra Hybrid S
Spigen is another prestigious name in the world of phone cases, and their protection is regarded as one of the best in the industry, while also offering a pocket-friendly price. The case only comes in one color option – Crystal Clear, but this is another great option for someone who is unwilling to hide the colorful eye-catching reflective glass back on the phone.
The phone works with wireless charging and has all the marks of a premium Spigen case – a TPU bumper, and a durable polycarbonate back mean that the case can easily protect your phone from falls with confidence. With the added benefit of a sturdy and stable kickstand, you can also make your phone stand on any surface to watch videos or video calls.
This is a case meant for people who are looking for a minimalist approach to safety while also choosing the safest option of the bunch.
Torras MarsClimber
Yet another protection-centered phone case, this one offers protection from falls of up to 8 feet, with military shockproof protection. A TPU body backed with four shock-absorbing rubber cushions at the corners of the case will help protect the phone optimally against most falls. A matte finish polycarbonate back also complements the design that helps provide style and added protection the case,
With a kickstand to boot, this is yet another great case should you get tired of holding the phone in your hand and are looking for a way to prop the phone up with relative ease. With support for wireless chargers, you don't have to worry about impeding any of the key features of the smartphone while making it look good in this case.
OtterBox
Once again, we have saved the best for last. OtterBox is a more high-end brand for smartphone cases, but they live up to their name when it comes to protecting your phone while also offering style, convenience, and features to boot. Coming in a matte black finish, the case also has an optional kickstand/holster accessory that can be attached or removed from the phone case at will. While holster-style phone cases went out of fashion long ago, it is still a good option, but not recommended.
The case is also made up of recycled plastics, which make this an eco-friendly product and lives up to the company's standards of making products from recycled materials.
In addition, the phone also offers wireless charging capability. OtterBox gives you the protection known for the company and lives up to its namesake. Lastly, an anti-microbial technology helps protect the case from the most common forms of bacteria, adding a layer of hygiene to your daily needs.
