The first thing you’ll want to consider when looking for a case to protect your Galaxy S23 is what kind of form factor you need. How are you using your phone? Are you looking for a case with a built-in stand for watching videos? Do you want a case that doubles as a wallet?

You’ll also want to consider just how much protection you require. If your phone mostly stays in your pocket until you’re home or at the office, you probably won’t need the same rugged phone case someone who works outdoors would need.

The form factor and amount of protection you need will largely dictate the material the case is made from, but not always. For example, if you’re looking for a classy look, you might want a leather case. On the other hand, you may want a case with a matte finish for better grip.

While some cases feature support for wireless charging, not all of them do. For the most part, if a case supports wireless charging, the manufacturer will mention that. If a case doesn’t explicitly mention that it supports wireless charging, don’t expect it to.

Finally, there’s the finish. The form factor decides how much of the phone you’ll see under the case, but if you want to see your phone, you can opt for a clear case. Other cases come in different colors, letting you choose the one that speaks most to you.

Note: The cases below will only fit the standard Samsung Galaxy S23 model. They will not fit on the S23 Plus or Ultra. Have a different model? Check out our best Galaxy cases roundup to find what you need!

Frequently Asked Questions

If you’re looking for solid protection for your phone and a slim fit that doesn’t add much bulk, the Spigen Liquid Air Case is a great option.

The design of the case looks nice, but it’s also functional. Those triangle shapes give the surface of the case an anti-slip finish—which means your phone is less likely to sail across the concrete the next time you fish it out of your pocket.

Raised bezels on the front and rear protect both your screen and the glass on the camera lenses from damage. The case is made out of a flexible material, which means that the squared-off edges still offer plenty of protection from drops. That flexibility also makes fitting your phone into the case much easier than cases with rigid frames.

The Spigen Liquid Air Designed for Galaxy S23 Case is available in Matte Black and Abyss Green finishes.

Choosing a budget case for your phone can be tricky because the cheaper you get, the less likely you can tell if a case brand is quality. That’s no problem with the Caseology Parallax, since the company has been around for years and has a great reputation.

The Parallax comes with a unique-looking pattern on the back. The company calls this a 3D Hexa Cube Design, which lets you easily hold onto the phone. A textured Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) grip on the edges helps you keep from dropping your phone, as well.

Caseology doesn’t mention any specific drop test numbers but does say that the case is “certified with military-grade protection” on its Amazon page. It also features support for wireless charging, which is always nice to know.

The Caseology Parallax Designed for Samsung Galaxy S23 comes in three color varieties: Matte Black, Burgundy, and Midnight Green.

If you’re carrying your phone around already, do you really need to carry a wallet as well? Not if you’ve got a wallet case like the XcaseBar Wallet Case.

Looking at the wallet features, the XcaseBar features a pocket to hold cash, plus nine card slots, which is more than you’ll find in many wallet cases. The case also has RFID shielding, meaning you can feel safer about your card information.

Another aspect of the case that you don’t often see in other cases is the zipper on the money compartment. If you never feel safe carrying money in other wallet-style cases, you should feel better here, since the zipper guarantees that you can keep your cash safe.
