Samsung Pay more Get Less
Ok
sadly out of stock couldnt get one with your discount 😑 for my samsung s23 ultra.. thanks any way
Thx for the link but it sadly doesn't contain any SGS23 ultra cases
@@AC-ny1di I'd go to Samsung & buy 1 of them before I spent a ridiculous amount at this website!
Can we please not forget that a cost for production of one case is probably less then $0.50 and yet they sell it for $50
While $50 is a lot for a case. There is no way they are making $49.50 on each case
Yeah $0.50 is a bit cheap but you're close, could be a few dollars. I recently saw S22 Ultra cases going for $5 at some stores so those might be getting dumped to break even
You can get them for like $10 opened box. And I only see Samsung Cases that $50 are like the tough ones and the ones that have features. And people spend like $90 on cases from Otterbox and Apple. I always get Samsung stuff very cheap even if it is newest or oldest.
I just came back from a Southeast Asia country and man I found so cheap cases, same material, same Made in China. And here in the U.S they sell you for $30 $40 $50
Maaan.. US are very expensive. Here in indonesia we can get a case for $1 to $8 .. 😂😂
But are they slam boy certified?
😂 aight Flossy
@@illwill610 😂😂😂
didn’t even like this video but soon as I have seen this comment I gave it a like as fast as I could! flossy carter fact 🤙🏼
Raisivity necessary too 😌
Yeah its got a raised lip for all the slam boyz
Thanks a lot Shane. I have ordered the phone, was not sure about the case. I am still unsure, but at least now I understand the pros and cons of different cases..
Those Cases Looks Amazing. I'm definitely gonna get the S23 Ultra Soon. 🥰
Wow! waited so long for other channels until this channel did it. Thank you so much 👍🏻
Amazing! That first clear case at $25.00 once upon a time was included in the box with the phone at no extra cost. Now, as with the charger and earphones, it's an extra. As Tom Petty remarked many years ago, " the boys upstairs ( at Samsung & Apple ) want to know how much you'd pay for what you used to get for free!
I notably like his 5 dollar cases
I was shocked when I unboxed my Galaxy S10 and found a clear case and was like "Since when did they started giving free cases?" Hahaha
In the bundle of freebies, I opted for the clear slim case and the leather case. I think I'll order the S-View case at a later date.
Picked up the Leather case, always have since the Note 20 Ultra, wish I did for the Note 9 and Note 10+ but loved the Aurora on the 10+ so got a clear Speck case instead for it.
Just got my s23 ultra in baby blue man this thing is so big and it feels so good to hold it
Perfect explanation 👌 appreciate the effort he puts into his video
I got the silicone grip case. I've been using it for a week now and I love it! Only drawback is putting it back into the pocket but other than that I love it
how is it with the band being on the farther side of your fingers (if you're right handed)?
@@gildonge I am a very small guy with tinny hands and still slightly manage to hold the strap while on my right hand. But the main advantage for me is using it while taking pictures because it helps holding my hand more steady. I am also slightly paranoid of just holding my phone while filming or taking pics ever since someone stole my Galaxy S7 Edge right off my bare hands in Paris, so this makes me feel "safer"
@@DragonBlueSpirit got it thanks!
Have you tried it with the s22 ultra? Just want to know if they are retro-compatible like de buds pro and 2 pro
You can remove the silicone part on top of the band and just have the band if you want. It will be slimmer.
Can’t wait for more gadgets to come out. I want this stand but with the rugged case they showed
I saw the Samsung ad and was trying to find the gadgets for the case but I couldn’t find much. Hopefully it’s not carrier only
Just what I was looking for thanks for reviewing all the cases! Would love if you did some 3rd party cases as well like Sprigan and ESR
Spigen*
This was really informative! Thank you so much!
I started off with using the wallet case, eventually I just had enough of it and bought the leather case, great choice in the end. Slips way easier in and out of work pants.
Nice! Still rocking the leather case? Im thinking of getting rid of my kinda bulky spigen rugged armor case. And buying the official leather case. Owned the phone for like a month. Now i feel that i prefer a slim design case. This spigen case adds a lots of weight.
@@orfeous Yep! Still going strong. Definitely worth the money. I do recommend it.
Burga makes unreal cases with some of the best designs for phones cases.
9:50 gives a retro vibe....love it.
I'm a Samsung user but do like the MagSafe design of Apple. Hope Samsung will come up with something similar, at least on their case lineup. I do miss the rugged series with the kickstand thou. That was my to-go case before
Check Spigen out they have one and also offer accessories you can use with the case. Flossy Carter has a great video showing the Spigen case line up for the new S23 Ultra.
There is a 3rd party company that makes exactly that I forgot the name but it is out there Completely compatible with magsafe
@Hewhoremains Spigen makes one
Thank you Shane! Does the strap add important wobbling when the phone is flat on the table ?
No rugged case with kickstands this year. I use it from S9 to S21U. From this cases shown in video I would go to leather one or that with white back. Nice review!
Spigen Tough Armor are available with stand. Spigen Rugged Armor does not have that stand. But you already know that i guess :)
I love love love the grip cases by Samsung. Using that on my fold 4
how if it used at every landscape? or using grip with left hand? or how it protect from drop?
That grip case has so much drip 🤒🔥🔥🔥
The lip at the top of my case has been a hinderance when I attempt to slide the pull down menu on the S23 Plus, it usually pulls the app menu up. I may need a different case unless Samsung sends out an update to address this small issue.
Great video. Best one yet. Very thorough
Great video. I will probably get at least one of them. Can you tell me where you got the wired charger with the digital display on the plug?
Thanks for the detail analysis
I bought today the silicone case by Samsung. 100% recommended. No problem when putting the phone in your pockets. Blew my mind.
After 2 months of use do you still recommend it?
Bump
@@KoiKoy562 month here is so nice, I can’t drive my car without dropping my phone from my pocket
Planning on buying one. How is it now? do you thinks it's worrth it ?
Hi is the clip on ring (for the clear case) magnetic? I need it magnetic for your car stand
Do you think the leather case would really protect the phone from accidental dropping? Or would be better the silicone one for that
Be warned about the leather Case quality. I own it for only 2 days and already have several pressure marks on the back of the case that wont go away anymore. After 2 Days imagine that. Also it is very hard to get out the S Pen.
Thank you! Very usefull overview!
is the frame case also a soft silicone or is it a hard case all around? imean not the changeable back plate but the other.
for the Samsung Silicon Grip case, i am using the wireless charger from Samsung and i still have fast wireless charging with no problem with the case on while just leaving it on top.
I hate wallet cases since they flip to the back and close the camera when using the main camera. But the square box there if you flip it to the back does it fit the camera nicely?
Thanks for the review I just ordered my S23 Ultra with leather case
I really miss the Alcantara cases they used to make for the older phones.
I'm switching from iPhone and I am a huge fan of the Apple leather case so I look forward to the Samsung leather case
I might order the black leather case to my s23 ultra. Currently running Spigen Rugged Armor and Ringke Onyx. The spigen case has issues with power sharing to my watch 6. The ringke case has some corner thingys so it will not have a great suit for my Brodit car phone holder. Its an adjustable. Since the one designed for S23 Ultra without case will obviously not work. Ive used a silicon case for my S8. Some issues with turning my pockets inside out some times if i used a more slim pants. But worked kinda good most of the time. I had a red colored one to have some colors added to the black phone. Im using samsungs official screen protector film so ill guess these cases will work with it without issues? I might order a case and try one out. There are so many makes and models out there with various quality and how they feel.. etc. Is the leather recommended? Kinda expensive here in Sweden. Like 50 euro.
Already ordered the otter box defender series for my s23 ultra. I can't trust any other case other then the otter box defender series. Hasn't failed me in over 5 years of use on different galaxy phones.
I got the Silicone navy blue...feels good in the hands...good grip. I got the Sky Blue color. So..good match.
I have the S22 Ultra and use the Otterbox Defender case. It's bulky, but it also is grippy and provides great protection. Considering the price of the phone, I wouldn't want anything else. I feel like so many cases provide either no protection or very little protection from drops. For me, the Samsung cases don't work because of their simplicity.
Yeah.. Otterbox offers the highest protection but the thing is they are often too simple or to bulky to use... This is the reason i use UAG monarch cases... Unless your phone drop screen face down.. There's nothing a simple fall could do to your phone as it protects your back and sides really well..
@French Alcantara Yeah, I looked at those and chose to stay with Otterbox as I have for 7ish years now. I have dropped phones face down before and on the side. Even with a defender on my S5 years back, I still broke the screen. SoI know I need the highest level of protection from all drops
Nothing beating the otterbox for protection
Have you taken the case off since you put it on? I used the same case and took it off after a month for routine cleaning and found that it had scratched and scuffed the sides, top, and bottom of my s22u. Apparently, this is an issue with this case. I stopped using it immediately. You may want to check your phone.
@Christlevania yes I did, and do so every so often. I did notice some small scratches on the right side of the aluminum frame. Only minimal scratches. I leave the plastic that was originally on the phones sides, bottom, and top on to protect against scratches. On my last phone, I scratched around the charging port quite a bit and learned that I need to keep the protective plastic on the phone so it doesn't do that.
Are the 1st two clear wallet cases just hard plastic which cracks? Non TPU right?
Doesn't Samsung make the protective standing cover like for the s22 ultra?
Is the UAG one available yet? I love those cases
Informative thank you
With the Grip case, would it interfere with tap and pay (G Wallet, S Wallet)?
Booked the black leather case with my s23 ultra. I was skeptical at first but seeing the raised lip for the display protection is a relief.
From experience the raised lip life expectancy is quite small as leather wear more easily than other materials. Learned it the hard way...
How is the case holding up? I bought my s23 ultra today and am looking around for cases. The black leather version definitely caught my eye so i would love your input on it.
Been rocking mine with the clear slim case. It looks so good with the Lavender S23 Ultra.
I got same case but still waiting for my S23 does it give good protection??
@Jared40 I don't think it is as protective as the other cases since it is a hard case so definitely not for people with clumsy hands.
idk why but the clear case gives a rainbow effect sometimes
Does the wallet case door stay closed with magnets or is it flimsy. You seem to be holding it shut in the video when handling it.
10:07 I chose the s view wallet case ; it has the armor rubber feel to it like some flashlights and it even works with the wireless charger ; the wallet has a small magnet at the bottom which helps keep the front flap of the wallet closed but it has an unusual effect to it when you place the phone on the wireless charger ; for some reason , when you do , either the phone or the charger will generate an opposing magnetic field against the wallet and it will force the front flap open ; everytime i set my phone in the charger with it closed , 1 - 2 seconds later , it opens up and not just a little , the field is strong enough so that the front flap is repelled enough so it is "completely" open and away from the face of the phone . the cable charger does not do this , just the wireless . the wireless charger i chose was the upright vertical charger my only con for the case are the two buttons ( power -- volume ) on the side are not thick enough to adequately reach the corresponding buttons of the phone ; causing you to apply greater pressure on the case buttons to reach the phone buttons ; other than that the case works great .
update 02/13 this wallet case is thick at the bottom and if you are like me -- no fingernails -- you will need some kind of tool to get your s pen out of the phone -- now the phone did come with a tool so that you can open the card cover to insert your sim card into ; so that is what i am using to get the s pen out with and it fits just nicely into the inside flap of the case so i always have it with me.
Interesting. I'm using the base S23 phone with its S-View wallet case equivalent and I don't notice any magnetic part of the case anywhere.
@@johannliebert2870 are you using the vertical stand up wireless charger ?? i think there must be some setting in the phone causing that effect ; i am still getting use to all the settings and as i was tweaking them here and there ; dont know which one it is but i have noticed that , that effect is no longer happening 🤔🤔😵💫😵💫👽👽 weird , almost out of this world 🤯🤯 LOL
@x_lonewolf_x nah I don't have any wireless charger here, will look for one and test out what happens. But others have also mentioned not having magnets in their base S23 S-View cases. I think it's unique to the Ultra cases.
mine doesn't work with wireless charging :/
Love my clear view case! Clear case is okay but I find it hard to remove it from the phone lol
You need to buy soft silicone cases. I hate the hard ones that are such a pain to put on or remove
hit the gym
I was told "minimum protection" means you can drop it from at least 6 feet. If both the case and the phone can protect up to at least 6 feet, isn't that pretty good?
The wallet case, doest it leave a gap between flip side and screen?
I need your help, I bought the frame case protector and I want to know how I can remove the transparent cover, it is very complicated to remove it, I need your help please 🙏🏼
do camera lens protector fit with official samsung cases?
Do you have any ideas why isn't a black silicone case for s 23 ultra?
Curious to know if the strap case or the gadget case improve it's one handed usability, or do they just give improved security holding the device..
They do. I have the strap case and tried every case in the store. Was disappointed at first that there no plain silicon black case this year, but after some time found the strap one more practical and enjoyable to use. Was not considering the clear gadget case as silicon is much more pleasure to touch and less slippery.
@@GlebKoshulko I'd love to try them in store but the best buy I went to last week didn't have any cases out as yet. Which store did you get to try them, if you're in the US?
I have the clear case and that thing is very difficult to remove... I haven't been able to remove the case ever since I placed the phone in it a week ago 😂
Did you remove the plastic off the phone before putting the case on?
@@mhy-ln6fc yes I did... the case is too tight, I can't really lift up the part that needs to be lifted.. I just tried it now and I still can't, my thumbs now hurt lol 😒😑
Thank you bro
Can you put just the frame from this Frame Case on phone, or it don't fit well?
TYSM!
Every year samsung has good strong cases that offer you a lot of protection but this year nothing very disappointing. I work in construction as a electrician and I need a lot of protection for my phone so I bought the unicorn pro.
i got the green silicone but a little disappointed that it does not match the same green color as the phone. the case is way more military green while the phone is more a slate green, I also wish there was just a little more camera lens protection. the lenses are just barely below the case level.. like 1/2 of a millimeter or less
Watching this on my all new s23 ultra green 😍
on the s view case is the flap magnetic or just kinda flaps over
What is your type c cord with digital display? Thank you
Mine Clear Widget Case when attached the grip is a littleeeeee bit loose it is normal? Or it should stay firm and tight?
waiting 2 more days for my reward points to come for the purchase of s23 ultra, and im odering black leather case. What a great phone s23U is. Im in love
Tried (and sent back) the Clear View book case as my S23 ultra didn't wirelessly charge anymore in my Tesla (it did charge on my charging pad which is more flat and is not size limited as Tesla's is). Now ordered the leather case. If it also doesn't charge in the car, I'll let y'all know..
Hi Martijn, looking forward to your feedback if the leather case allows wireless charging.
I always use my phones naked. But ordered the leather case cause I didn't know what to do with the $150 credit they gave. So glad it's the best out of the bunch!
Excellent video . Thanks for the informations 👍👍
Is the S-view wallet case Magnetic?
do you know when the other gadgets for the gadegt case will get released by Samsung?
Will the silicone grip case experience any yellowing?
Hi Which company cable is this shown in video?
Link to the cool charging cable and the wireless charger used? TY!
Thank You
I'm bummed abit, I have the casemate "floral" case..which I like but I was wanting the Samsung LED Flip Case..wish they had that one still..
They gave me that clear one with the detachable bit for free with my pre-order, which was nice. I looked it up and apparently it goes for €59. I wouldn't pay €20 for it.
All transparent cases turn brown in less than year. As you say 20 is too much for it let alone 59 😀
Can I use the frame case without any back as a bumper?
Is the silicon case support camera protector?
thanks for this video shane!
Bklpyjnbylipliyjlmymnb🎛️📺🎛️🎤🎤
I bought the s-view case for the regular S23. I'm so impressed with this case and that they made a version for the smaller phone in the lineup
Does it have magnetic closing? Can you see notifications? These were the flaws in last generation. Thanks if you reply!
No nad yes. There's still not magnet😐, but there's a new notification center. You can swipe to one side for music control or to the other for the notification center. If you've enabled Show content on lockscreen for notification you can read entire messages and emails if you click on the specific notification and even view thumbnails and images contained within. You can also clear all or a specific notification and open the notification by tapping on it and then click on "Open App"
@@Zsolt_ u can even quick reply to messages
@@LeoRehberg thank you. How much is it usable without magnetic lock? Not opening randomly?
@@Zsolt_ I mean it's just held on by Gravity ,but luckily it doesn't slide in the y axis.
Between the frame cover and the clear cover wich is the best?
Does anyone know what's the release of the custom straps?
I got both the Clear Case and the Clear Gadget Case. Both seem very flimsy as there is literaly no protection on the bottom of the phone except at the corners. Charging port, speaker and sim card tray are not covered at all (same as Clear Case). No raised support around the cameras either. In addition, with the Gadget Case, the phone does not lay flat on a flat surface but rocks. The gadget handle is only minimally useful. I ordered an ESR Kickstand Case from Amazon instead. To my surprise, however, it was almost impossible to remove the Gadget Case from my phone. I had to pry it off with a letter opener covered with a thin cloth to protect the phone. I broke several fingernails and have scratches on my hand as a result. Finally got it off and trying to figure out how to give it away as I doubt if Samsung will take it back.
Damn! Mine is coming tomorrow. I just came here after reading the reviews on tht case on the Samsung official website. 1.9 total score so far, and everyone keeps talking about how it was nearly impossible to take it off the case. So yea, I'll be returning and not even attempting to use after your review. That sucks about the case ❤️
Unfortunately you didn't do the only case I cared about which was the rugged one. I have it coming Wednesday
Where did you get the charger from! 4:21
Does this cases work with esr camera rings
Thanx dear
Thanks for the review! I just might get a case with this phone lol
Почему самсунг не делает чехлы с металлической пластинкой/рамкой внутри, для магнитных держателей в автомобиле?
How did you take off the clear case?
This was interesting as I have just bought an S23 Ultra but I haven't get the case yet. The reviews are rather uncritical, for example on some cases the commentary says the S pen access is easy but pictures seemed to tell a different story. With my previous Samsung phones I have gone for the flip covers, like on my S20 Plus but the flip case for the S23 seems to be a far inferior product. No magnet to keep the case closed and to wake up the phone when the case is opened, and instead of a clear screen in the flip cover there is just a hole! At 10.30 in this video Shane says something like "Most of the screen is protected", Most?? That's like having someone in to make your house secure and when he presents the bill he tells you 'I put locks on most of the doors'. I am interested in the silicone grip case though as I live on a boat and travel around the canals in England. I have regularly dropped phones in the canal and really need a system that works all the year round so a cord attached to the grip may be the answer. By the way, the IP68 water and dust proof rating says your phone is good for up to 90 minutes in water - not true! I dropped my Note 10 in a canal and three weeks later I man called to say his son found it the mud when the section was drained. They put the phone in a warm place for a day then charged it up and got a phone number off the sim card so I got it back. Two years later I'm still using it. I also dropped an S20 Plus in water for 19 hours and successfully recovered it.
Does the silicone case stick in pocket ??
I have the silicone grip case although I thought the white one looks better with my lavander s23ultra I bought the black version instead because white silicone cases looks good brand new, but they will eventually get dirty easily.
Great Video! Can you tell me whether these covers will fit after installing camera lens protectors?
Can I use the Frnae case for S22 Ultra?
