Hi people, does anyone know, or did anyone hear/read if S22 Ultra cases are compatible with the S23 Ultra since they look pretty much identical?
Unlikely it will fit.
Zizo will release one eventually. They're good cases with excellent impact protection.
That's a heavy phone that loves to corner hit... it needs a good case to survive.

At the moment I am using an UAG Monarch on my S22, which is imo very good. I wasnt sure if I needed a new one since they are not cheap lol
Bit of a shame they havent done the LED View cover this time around, but trying out the clear view one, which looks like the S View one from the 22.
Seems to be a big focus on recycled materials, when I got my S21 case it was all antimicrobial etc. as well.
Unfortunately they are not interchangeable. I have a Spigen Thin Fit arriving later this week to tide me over until the new dbrand grip becomes available.
I've have several brands of cases for my S22U. The dbrand grip is the case that checks all the right boxes for my needs.
I got the OtterBox Defender Pro with holster on the way. Have used it for S20U and S22U. I work in a punishing environment and for the protection it provides it can't be beat. My S20U and S22U both hit the concrete floor in our restaurant kitchen multiple times and never got a scratch even on the case.

I get the Zizo Bolt for my N10+'s for around $20.
They've sucked up some nasty drops onto concrete; both Notes look like they're new. It will take a few weeks to months but Zizo specializes in Samsung cases. They'll punch them out soon.
Zizo's don't attract dust and grim, are easy to clean, don't damage the frame rail, are relatively compact, dissipate heat fairly well and can take a beating. The case never comes apart from drops; they can withstand multiple impacts intact. The rear kick stand tends to break from use but this doesn't effect the protection.
If you do drop a Note be aware the spen tends to pop out even be ejected. Don't step on it or leave it behind Still using my original spens as well.
I went for this from Poetic.

Apparently one site says the screen has less curve so it wouldn't fit even if it was the same dimensionally.
(I was wondering the same since I had a S22U Pelican case but no device.)

I good fit is imperative. Samsung changes it just enough to avoid being accused of using leftover S22U parts

No they won't fit. Supersaf covered that in one of his video.
Well I went for Spigen this time as opposed to UAG since the prices went up a bit. Today I received the Spigen Rugged Armor, and I will honestly say the quality seems really really good, it has extra protection on the corners, and it feels amazing in the hand + its pretty cheap. I also have the Samsung Leather Case coming with the phone so I'll keep everyone updated in case anyone is interested.

I have ordered that case from the link below. It was recommended by other guy on discord S23 ultra group. I will post my experience when it arrives

What has everyone found for cases? I'm using the clear Mpero Flex S case. It provides extra grippiness, decent protection and the clear one allows you to see the details of the phone.
Edit: plus they're inexpensive

I bought mine on swappa with a black incipio case,but I just use the verizon holster daily.
I got a stickerboy yellow skin for the back to stop the slippery feel.
Of course I made a pouch to carry it in.
I've also ordered a Skinomi full body skin and I'm going to try that for a while.
I have the black silicone case from Verizon when I got my phone together as a bundle, but I'm debating to myself whether I should go for a clear case that shows my phone's details. Clear cases get yellowing just because over time, it absorbs our oils and such. Will the flex cases do the same because of the material?

It's a TPU material. Mine hasn't yellowed yet, but then again it's not that old.
I like the holster kickstand case from Verizon. I don't use the holster cover and the hard kickstand body is protective and convenient with the kickstand. The black case with white phone looks sharp.

I think you're way off in what Sony designed in their flagship series: the unneeded accessories for lifeproof cases. It's already designed and built to be IP68 ratings, meaning it's waterproof and dustproof for the phone itself. There is an article that tested how well its ratings are from the Z2 as someone dropped their in the middle of the ocean and had it recovered 3 weeks later.
The back glass panel cracked, but once charged up, it's still usable as if nothing happened.
And BTW, getting a lifeproof case will make your phone look like another iPhone from the outside. Dx

I stand corrected, SIX weeks at 32 feet underwater. That's an incredibly impressive feat.
Has anyone noticed that the Xperia Z2 (L50t) China version seems to be the exact design specifications as the Z3v. It appears we may be able to use all of its cases and screen protectors. I'm going to check it out and report back.*

That's interesting that there are many similarities and not many other sources discuss the design being similar. The only thing that I think the cases will do for our phones is leave open a space that's for the magnetic dock charger. Other than that, I hope it may work so it could open more case options.

Here's the dimensions I found through some searches, seems like they're incredibly close, let's hope it fits for you!
L50T: 149 x 73.3 x 8.2mm

Z3: 146 x 72 x 7.3 mm
I'm using the Incipio case from Verizon. I've always used Otterbox Commuter cases on my phones, and this Incipio is the closest thing to that. I'm really happy with it so far.
I've really enjoyed the form and beauty of the Z3v without a case. I have a couple cases that I use on occasion when doing more rugged things, but this phone is a looker and I don't want to cover it up.
If you have any cases you're interested in please let me know and if I have it I'll take pictures and give you a review of it. Reply to this thread with a ink of the product so I know which one you're talking about. I have pretty much purchased one of every case under $20 on both websites. Close to 100.

Sure do. This a generic case that is also sold on Aliexpress. It's not bad, especially for the price. It has a textured inside that feels coated with anti finger print stuff. It does attract dirt easily. The outside clear plastic is very slippery. The black frame is matte and has very little grip. The camera lip protects it OK and the top and bottom lips protect the front as well. I think could have come out a little farther as the sides have no lip, depending how the phone falls, could leave it vulnerable. The buttons are pretty springy. Cut outs should be all where they should be.
Protection: C
Button Feel: B
Materials: B

Honestly they looked identical to my Samsung case. So I didn't. I just ordered it.
Did you purchase an Incipio Dual Pro? I'm concerned with the back camera protection.
I'm really looking for a case that have full front protection (including the side edges - most cases only have top and bottom lips) and the back camera not flush with the case.

Until I can find it for $15 or less I will not purchase it as it's outside my price range. Shame Incipio usually can be found cheap on ebay
Which case you got is the thinnest / least bulk?
Thanks.
Which case for the s20 ultra is the absolute thinnest? I used to have the TOZO on my s10+ which was paper thin and loved it but they don't make one for s20 series. Any other recommendations?
Pitaka Air Case. Unsure, if it is made for the s20. Mag Case is a little thicker but has metal plates embedded.
Air case is the absolut thinnest, imo.
if your just aiming for scratch resistance maybe go for a skin?

This Totallee thin case is great... I've had this case on my last three phones, including the s20+. Zero drop protection, obviously, but all around scratch protection, and the thinnest case I've come across. Highly recommended.

Pitaka, it's expensive but worth it. Won't come off and doesn't feel flimsy like thin TPUs.
Unfortunately, like thin TPUs offers little protection especially for the screen but if you're into thin you're already aware of that.

I would but ultimately also want scratch and dent protection around the corners which a skin doesn't cover. A super thin case have proven the best option for me as I hardly ever drop my phone and if it happens it falls on a hard wood floor at home where a thin case suffices.

Spigen Air is pretty good too, and inexpensive.
The Samsung LED Cover case is very very minimal, but helps even out the camera bump on the back. Gimmicky LEDs but still fun to show off. Too expensive for many though.

Use this on my S20 Ultra and can't tell there's a case on (apart from the feel in texture)

I purchased a carbon fiber case off of Ebay, great quality and the most minimal case I've tried to date. It unfortunately doesn't protect the front screen well but you have to give up some things.

Bare cases are trash, and their customer service is equally trash. The small strip of the case that runs above the volume key cutout is flimsy. I'm on my 2nd bare case since the first started to deform after a couple of weeks. The 2nd case has now done the same. I bought one for my sister's s9, and the edges of the case of the start began to deform after a couple of weeks too.
Bought the Samsung Silicone Cover, it's a bit thicker than the barecase, but at least I can be certain it won't break on me after 2 weeks.

Really? Can't say I've had the same issue's at all. Customer services admittedly are abit slow at responding but not as bad as any other. I was sent a S20 case instead of a S20 Ultra at first so got in touch and they responded within 3 days, polite and friendly and got the correct case sent out to me.
Havnt had any issues with the case deforming or edges breaking as you mentioned though and I've had it around 5 months now.
How long did you have yours before you noticed issues? Cant imagine it was literally 2 weeks.

My first one I noticed the thin strip deforming after maybe 3 weeks. The second one I paid more attention to, and honestly started deforming around 2 weeks in. Not immediately noticeable, but it will get worse over time.
I don't know with the Ultra being a thicker phone in general the case might be more resilient deforming in the same spot, but on my S20+ it is most definitely a design fault.
The first reply from their customer service was prompt enough, but then had to wait over a week for a reply after that and then a further 3 days for a response after that point. Their initial response was I must be keeping my phone in tight jeans or taking the case on and off, but neither of those things are valid. Delivery of the replacement took around a month. Whilst I appreciate that I'm not based in that cheery US of A. Delivery to the UK should not have taken that long.
Overall 3/10, emphasises form over function, and fails at longevity. Plus I couldn't feel the side buttons through the side of it.
Just got this case for my S23 Ultra when I get it. If your looking for a styled case with the protection you need for your new phone, check out the site. Thinborne has never let me down with the cases they design. A++++

They also have more rugged cases if you need more protection for your phone.

No chance I would buy something similar again.
FYI those cases can and will damage sides/corners of the phone as they will scratch paint etc.

hi; anyone bought and used this acse? looks really nice, i prefer vs pitaka and latercase, but it looks that it is not available right now? apparently, supplier problem; anyway, real experience regarding this?

I have purchased similar cases. They often no real protection. Looks cool though. There are two different types of aramid case apparently.

Amazing case, looks very classy.
Only using if for formal occasions as it offers minimal scratch protection and is as slippy as a bar of soap
I got the same case. Really love super-low profile Arabid cases and this one certainly fits the bill.
Only downside i experience if removing it is extremely difficult. It's so tightly fitting it's tricky to get it off
But that's a very occasional problem and nothing everyday
Yeah I have the Pitaka case for my S23U, I have always used the Thin fit Aramid fiber cases for all of the phones I have had, this is the first time for the Pitaka case and love it, I have the Overture case that has the green/red strip down the back.

I am assuming they left some space for camera holes in case you put lens protectors inside?
Which screen protectors are you using with this case?
Holes in the case.
Using AM Film
I ordered one last night, the Rhapsody version. I usually run full protection cases (have the Mouse Aramid right now) but can't even remember the last time I dropped a phone.
With my S20 FE, using a full protection case since day 1, the bottom frame of the phone got very scratched up because debris got inside, between the case and phone. I'm hoping that with how tight the Pitaka fits that I won't have this issue.
But now the sides of the S23U will be exposed, so I also wonder how well the phone will resist side scratching lol.
