The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is still a fantastic phone that remains relevant and up-to-date with the latest software and features. It's easy to see why you may want to buy one right now or hold on to your existing unit for a few more years before upgrading. It is one of the more reliable options out there, and it will continue to receive updates for many years to come.

Whatever the case may be, I am glad that you've decided to protect your Galaxy S23 Ultra with a protective case. It's a relatively big phone to carry around after all, and it may take some time for you to get used to it if you are coming from a smaller device. It's also on the expensive side, so you should definitely consider buying a case to protect it from accidental drops and scuffs.

Lots of great cases for the Galaxy S23 Ultra

There is no shortage of cases for the Galaxy S23 Ultra, so you are bound to find something to your liking and the appetite for spending. If you don't want to explore too many options, then I recommend picking up the Spigen Liquid Air case. Not only does it offer good protection, but it also looks unique and is quite thin. Those who are shopping for a premium case can consider buying either the dbrand Grip or something like the Bellroy leather case to add a nice touch to their phone. I personally use dbrand's Grip case on a couple of my phones, and I am yet to find a solid alternative for it. I've also added some other interesting options, including the Spigen Optik Armor and the ESR kickstand, so be sure to explore all the options before making a purchase decision.

The Supcase UB Pro is the only case in this collection for the Galaxy S23 Ultra that comes with a built-in screen protector, so you might want to pick one separately for your Galaxy S23 Ultra. I'd say it is a must-have considering there's only so much Gorilla glass can do to protect your phone's display.
