For the longest time, I’ve refrained from putting a case on my phone. A case ruins the look and (sometimes) hides a fun color scheme! Then I dropped a phone hard enough to shatter its glass and immediately reconsidered my stance.
Smartphones are expensive, and it’s wise to protect them. Samsung’s latest phones, the Galaxy S20, S20 Plus, and S20 Ultra, start at $1,000 and go up to $1,400. Drop one of these glass slabs and you’ll end up forking over a few hundred dollars to repair it. Why take the risk when a relatively affordable case could prevent disaster?
I’ve spent many weeks playing around with more than 40 cases from 15 brands, and I’ve slotted each of Samsung’s new phones into all of them. Below are my favorites. We’ve linked to the Galaxy S20 Ultra by default but you can find links to the S20 and S20 Plus cases just above the buttons.
Updated for March 2020: We’ve added four cases from Moment, Incipio, Samsung, and Olixar.
