I'm upgrading from S9 to S23 Ultra. Looking for suggestions for a "pretty" phone case (ie not black) like Casetify or Burga but still need it to be practical and have impact resistance. Preferably with a kickstand but I could put a ring stand on top. Going for the cream S23 if that makes a difference.

Suggestions for screen protector are also welcome.

    What's your definition of pretty? I'm guessing it's different to mine. Also, nice flex upgrade.

      Not black is the bare minimum definition of "pretty". Really just don't want it to look like everybody else's phone as it's quite an upgrade in my phone.

      If you look up Casetify or Burga, these have nice patterns on the phone case. Such as marbling, snakeskin print, mermaid scales, flowers etc.

    Here

    Honestly just get a CASETiFY case. They’re solid cases (have some for my Pixel 6 Pro). Don’t pay full price for them though; try find a discount code somewhere (YouTube reviewers have them)

      Thanks, good tip! I didn't even think of looking for a discount code from YT. I read some Casetify reviews saying they weren't great? Did you get a screen protector from them as well?

        I have a custom film screen protector from Phone King because curved screen life.

        Mine had the camera ring snap when I was taking my case off once but they replaced it without issue as it was within the six-month warranty. I'd get them again for my next phone (but only so CASETiFY know that yes people who use Pixel phones also want cool customised cases)

    try amazon
    when i got the s22 last year they had deals for cases

    did get spigen for the wife for her iphone, thought better get a brand than those 5 bucks cases for a 2k phone!

      Thanks will check it out. Which brand did you get and any positive reviews?

    Wondering the same. Ordered the red Ultra. Very nice looking imo. But can't find a good enough clear case that will protect it well. The Samsung one doesn't appear to be raised enough to protect the front.

    I've bought the otterbox defender for my Galaxy s23 ultra. It's not pretty or exciting, but seems it'll protect my phone well.

    I'm actually looking for a screen protector now before ei take everything out of the box and start using it! Any suggestions?

      I wanted to get whitestone dome glass but it was sold out on Amazon. So I went with AM film. My brother used it for his S22 Ultra and he's happy with it. The screen protector had cracked when he dropped the phone but still seems fine. It is in a Torras case if you're interested.

      I had an Otterbox Defender for my S9. Did protect my phone well - no cracks or dings and I have dropped my phone a few times. I used a cheapo tempered glass screen protector from eBay. But I remember the rubber bit stretched larger than the a few months in. I had bought it locally from a shop so they just exchanged without questions (warranty for 12 months). Then the rubber stretched again a few months later… Don't know if it was just my experience?

      I ended up going with a Casetify case.

        Thanks for your update! I ended up buying a otterbox screen protector. Ive managed to somehow get bubbles in it despite following instructions. Fingers crossed the bubbles disappear by themselves like some people report on certain screen protectors.

    Anyone purchased a lens protector?

      I recommend you don't spam.

      Hey Michael,

      Go away with your thinly veiled spam

    Anyone using a magsafe case and or magsafe car mount that care to share their experiences? The ESR ones seem decent at a reasonable price.
