Samsung S23 Case

The short version: Great case for the money. It provides adequate protection for light to moderate drops. It fits perfectly on my Samsung Galaxy S20 5G. It protected my phone well over two years of mild drops with a few rough ones thrown in. I would highly recommend this case for anyone who wants cheaply priced case that provides moderate protection. Think about your phone "handling" (how many accidents you have with your phone) when choosing a case to purchase. I would recommend combining this with a compatible screen protector for more complete protection. The attached photo shows the new case vs my old case of two years and a ~3 months. The inner shell is fine, the outer shell has a few missing pieces. Note: I see a lot of negative comments mentioning it doesn't fit, but my guess is they purchased the wrong case for their phone (some even mentioned phones that are not specified in the product listing, such as the S21). Who should buy this case?: If you want a slim case that provides light to moderate protection, then this case is right for you. It will protect against the occasional light drop (I probably lightly drop my phone 1-2 times a week) and even some more aggressive drops. Who should not buy this case?: If you find yourself being extremely abusive on your phone with either frequent drops, or a high chance dropping it from great heights or in rough terrain (i.e.: down multiple flights of stairs or down rocky hillsides) then this case is probably not for you and you most likely want to invest in a much more expensive and bulkier case. Additionally, if you you simply don't have the money to risk damage to your phone, it is probably better to invest the additional $50-$80 on a more bulky high-end case with all-around protection. This case is meant for those who want a compromise between the sleekness of the bare phone, and the protection of a case for those occasional drops. Details: This is my second time purchasing this case, with the first purchase being in November of 2021 and the latest in February of 2024. The first case did its job and protected my phone adequately for over two years. It was still functional, but with some cracks and missing pieces on the outer shell (from a rough accidental toss across an asphalt parking lot), I decided it was worth it to replace it with the same case for just another $15. Features: A hard (but light/thin) outer shell, with a flexible shock-absorbing inner shell. The top and bottom of the case are slightly raised above the screen surface, which will provide protection for the screen on relatively flat surfaces (it won't save you from rough surfaces/rocks). The sides fit level with the screen to allow use of the edge features on the phone. It does not come with a screen protector (and does not claim to - not sure why there 1 star reviews noting this - they knew that when they bought it if they read the description). There are screen protectors that will fit this phone, but you'll want ones that don't fit too tightly to the side of the phone, or the case will most likely not be compatible (I do not use screen protectors, so I cannot comment on the best options here). The Fit: The case fits perfectly on my S20 5G (purchased in 2021). I don't know how people claim they are cracking their screen putting it on or are unable to get it on. Most likely they are man-handling their phone or bought the wrong case for their phone. Just set the case flat on the table, slide the bottom of your phone in at an angle until it is firmly in place on the button, then gently lay it down into the case and push the top into place. You can also remove the rubber insert from the hard shell to put it on one piece at a time (I believe that's what they recommend, but I did not find it necessary). Protection: I do not drop my phone excessively, so I do not need maximum protection. I do, however, drop my phone once or twice a week from varying heights, usually not higher than about chest level at the worst. And typically this happens inside on hardwood floors. It provides 100% adequate protection for these drops. I do occasionally drop it outside, and it still provides good protection. Your main concern will be the screen, as this case will only provide minimal protection for your screen via the raised edges at the top and bottom (enough for protection on flat surfaces, but if dropping it on a small stone in a parking lot would, it would provide 0 protection). This is where I would recommend adding a screen protector, if you feel you'll be likely to drop it on some rougher surfaces. After two years of use with no screen protector, I have one light scratch on my screen and one light crack (or maybe a deep scratch?). The crack occurred when I tried to catch my phone as I dropped it and I accidentally flung it a few feet in the air and another 5-10 feet away on asphalt. My phone still works perfectly, and the light crack isn't really noticeable when the screen is on. So it saved my phone overall (my phone would definitely have been shattered without the case), but it will not provide perfect protection in those extreme drops. If you are at high risk of having an extreme drop early in your phone's life, or if you simply can't afford to risk it, then go with a more expensive all-around case such as an otter box or something similar.

Great case for the price. Fits the Samsung Galaxy S21 perfectly and provides solid shock protection without adding too much bulk. The dual-layer design feels sturdy, the buttons are responsive, and the grip is much better than the bare phone. I’ve dropped my phone a few times with no damage. The black color also looks clean and professional. Overall, very happy with the quality and protection.”

I was hesitant to buy this case because of the dual layer construction. I thought that would make the case too bulky and not fit together tightly. But I'd had good luck with a Crave case for my S22 so bought it and hoped for the best. To my surprise, the case is not that bulky. They managed a good compromise between protection and keeping the case slim. The case came with the two parts stuck together and I didn't take it apart. I just put it on the phone and it fit well. After a couple of weeks of use there is no sign of the layers separating. I really like the grip of the case as well. A couple of the slim cases I tried were too slippery. The case also fit over camera lens protectors. Great case.

It was great up until I noticed it had broke by the camera area. I had it almost 13 months. I work both inside and outside farming and in a machine shop. It handled the dust and grime which I would scrub off with mechanic grade hand wipes. I've dropped my phone on different hard surfaces such as wood, brick, stone, metal, gravel, concrete and it kept my phone protected up until I noticed it broke near the cameras. Other than the chrome paint chipping off the buttons it has held up. It has a slim profile versus the otterbox I had previously which was more bulky. However that lasted for 3+ years until I switched to this case. I wish this case had lasted longer.

Good hardy case. My phone survives drops, and abuse thanks to this case. I've had this case in several colors but I do wish they'd have a better truer blue. There is enough texture to the back to not be slick but doesn't have that weird sticky feel and isn't hard to slip in and out of a pocket.

Really nice, understated, great color

This is a nice case it fits my S21 nicely. It’s lightweight, but I thought the case was rubber it’s like plastic. So it slips or slides off certain surfaces.

Easy snap in. Nice clean appearance, makes my phone easier to hold on to.

Muy buen producto, muy resistente y ergonómico.

good quality materials, slick looking, nice buttons power and volume however easy to slip out of hand, delivery on time

Wrong size case. Very poor description

I've deliberately waited 1 month before my review as I've read other reviews that were not very good and wanted to see how the phone case holds up! I've had no problems with this case what so ever. No fading of colour. No scratches on the buttons either. The case fits perfectly and had done a really good job at fully protecting my phone. I recommend this product as a genuinely good phone case. I went for the green colour. It's different and looks very classy too.

Se siente material de calidad, ya se me ha caido 3 veces y todo bien. Podria parecer elevado el precio, pero lo vale.
