  Spigen Tough Armor Galaxy S22 Ultra case
  

  Best overall

  There’s a lot to like about Spigen’s Tough Armor. It feels solid in your hand, has a sleek design with an integrated kickstand, and it’s reasonably priced. The typical polycarbonate and TPU materials are joined by an extra layer of foam for added shock absorption, and the button covers retain their sensitivity. However, the biggest complaint for most will likely be the slippery feel of the hard plastic outer shell and the less pronounced buttons that can be hard to feel.

  Urban Armor Gear Monarch for Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra
  

  Premium pick

  The UAG Monarch may not be the most wallet-friendly case on our list, but it will keep your phone safe in most situations and look great while doing it. This case surprisingly adds only 1.5 ounces of weight to your device, and it won’t get in the way of wireless charging or NFC. The slick backplate doesn’t provide the best grip, but the sides are extra grippy, and that’s where you’ll be holding onto it anyway.

  Best value

  The Poetic Neon takes a multipronged approach to safeguard your S22 Ultra, with shock-absorbing material, reinforced corners, and grippy sides and back, so you’re less likely to drop it. Despite this, it doesn’t add a lot of bulk or weight to your device, making it a good choice for those who need reliable protection with a slim feel. The case is also quite stylish, with several solid and two-tone colorways to choose from.

  Poetic Spartan for Galaxy S22 Ultra
  

  Poetic’s Spartan is a heavy-duty case that looks the part with a design that blends ruggedness with refinement. Pleather accent panels are joined by an assortment of mostly subdued color options that hide a versatile kickstand that lets you prop your S22 Ultra up in landscape or portrait orientation. Spartan also provides two front frames in the package, allowing you to choose whether to use the included screen protector, add your own tempered glass, or just go without.

  Rokform Magnetic Case For Galaxy S22 Ultra
  

  If you look up rugged in a dictionary, you might just find a picture of the Rokform Magnetic Case. It’s a well-crafted tank of a case with military-grade PC armoring and strengthened corners. As if that wasn’t already enough, road warrior types are also catered to, thanks to the motorcycle/ATV mounting features hosted by the twist lock mechanism, plus a more than capable magnet.

  VRS Design Damda Glide Pro for Galaxy S22 Ultra
  

  The VRS Damda Glide Pro is one of the most practical cases around. It can take a beating, it looks good, and it can keep your cards at hand as well. The case has ‘glide’ in the name because the mechanism for opening the wallet compartment is an incredibly smooth slide while feeling sturdy enough to trust with something as important as your bank card.

  i-Blason Ares for Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra
  

  Promoted pick

  In partnership with i-Blason

  Unlike most phone cases that detract from the look of your device, i-Blason’s Ares features a clear backplate to show off the aesthetic of your S22 Ultra while still safeguarding it against scratches. It is also fingerprint-resistant, so it won’t wind up with a bunch of dirty-looking smudges on the back. There’s also a pronounced bezel around the camera lenses and a thick raised border around the display for extra protection.

  Nillkin CamShield Armor for Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra
  

  Don’t be fooled by the low price tag of the Nillkin CamShield Armor. Despite boasting lots of features, this is a quality case that stands up well to wear, tear, and drops thanks to the multilayer construction and air cushioning. Its standout feature is a sliding camera cover that keeps the lenses safe from scratches that can interfere with picture quality over time. The case also has a swiveling ring holder that doubles as a kickstand.

  OtterBox Defender Pro for Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra
  

  $40 $60 Save
  $20

  The Defender Pro offers the same heavy-duty construction as Otterbox’s popular Defender series while adding a silver-based antimicrobial additive to the material that helps guard against bacteria. That’s a great idea when you consider how dirty phones can actually get, but keep in mind that it’s not guaranteed to kill everything, so it won’t protect you against viruses and illness-inducing bacteria. It’s also on the expensive side but has an integrated stand, a belt clip, and a lifetime warranty.

  Ghostek Nautical for Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra
  

  The Ghostek Nautical is tailor-made for those who are constantly near the water. It’s waterproof and swim-proof up to 20 feet for an hour, with a watertight cover for the USB-C port and support for wireless charging. It’s great on land, too, with a non-slip grip and 12-foot drop protection. Just be aware that while it will protect your phone from a dunk, it’s not buoyant, so you may want to invest in a floating strap before you take it out to sea.

Which case is right for you?

All the cases here offer serious protection for the Galaxy S22 Ultra. They’re not the same, though, with some balancing ergonomics and safety more than others. You’ll need to think about how much protection you need and balance that with comfort, price, and design.

The Spigen Tough Armor case is the best overall. It’s made of a soft TPU inner layer and a hard plastic shell, which work in tandem to resist harsh impacts and dissipate kinetic energy around the phone rather than through it. That gives you above-average protection from most knocks and drops while the case remains relatively slim. The kickstand is a nice bonus, but quite fragile, so don’t make that a deciding factor.

If money is no object the UAG Monarch is a good choice. It’s an expensive case, but it’s well worth it if you want something different. The Monarch uses soft TPU and Kevlar to withstand most beatings you throw at it. The benefit of Kevlar is that it’s light as well as strong, so the Monarch only adds 1.5 ounces to the phone, which is hardly noticeable.

But for those seeking absolute value, the Poetic Neon has you covered. As with many of the cases on this list, it’s comprised of a soft TPU inner layer and a hard plastic shell. Though it isn’t as durable as the Spigen or UAG, it’s more than enough for most people since it makes up for that drawback with comfort. The Poetic case not only offers a comfortable grip; it also ensures your hand won’t tire easily. Install it and wave goodbye to grip fatigue.

However, if you’d prefer a less chunky case, there are even more Galaxy S22 Ultra case options. Whichever case you choose, you can rest easy knowing that your S22 Ultra will be safe. Of course, a case is only half the safety process. You’ll also want a good screen protector to go with it.
