Otterbox Defender Series Pro

Otterbox is known for its durable protection, and the Defender Series Pro Case offers rugged protection with its polycarbonate shell, polycarbonate holder, and synthetic rubber slipcover. This case offers four-times as much drop protection as the military standard, with a comfy grip and port covers to keep dust, dirt, and lint out. A raised edge around the camera and screen add an extra layer of defense, while a silver-based antimicrobial additive is woven into the case to inhibit microbial growth and defend against common bacteria.

The in-built holster doubles as a belt clip and hands-free kickstand, and this case is wireless charging compatible. It’s also made with 50% recycled plastic. It is the most expensive case on our list, but if you’re after serious protection, it’s worth every penny.

Ghostek Atomic Slim Case

With its military-grade aluminum alloy frame and raised shockproof aluminum bumpers, the Atomic Slim Case from Ghostek is a must for those serious about protecting their new phone. This case features a crystal-clear, scratchproof back, with a choice of four colored aluminum bumpers: red, pink, black, and Prismatic.

Where the Atomic Slim case really shines is its ability to protect against serious drops. You get up to 12 feet of drop protection in this slim shell, with a non-slip traction grip to keep your phone firmly in hand. Despite this sturdy dual-layer protection, the case is compatible with wireless charging and PowerShare, so you don’t need to keep taking it on and off to juice up your phone.

Crave Dual Guard Case

Keep your pockets happy and your peace of mind intact with this popular case from Crave. Its slim profile makes it easy to slip into a pocket, while improved shock absorption keeps your phone safe should you drop it. Speaking of drops, this case has a grippy finish with tactcile buttons and boasts dual-layer TPU and PC protection. It’s compatible with wireless charging and PowerShare and comes in a choice of nine colors — though we like the sleek simplicity of the Slate variant (pictured).

Speck Presidio Perfect Clear

Slim, minimalist clear cases don’t offer excellent drop protection — but this one from Speck is an exception. Offering up to 13 feet of drop protection, with impact technology to cushion your phone against knocks and falls, it is surprisingly slim and lightweight. The Perfect Clear coating and anti-yellowing materials ensure your phone case will stay crystal clear over time, while Microban antimicrobial treatment reduces bacteria growth on the case by 99%. A raised screen bezel rounds out the protection on offer — and this case is compatible with wireless charging, too.

Spigen Rugged Armor

Want a solid pick from a reliable brand? Go for the Spigen Rugged Armor case. It has a slim frame with a timeless design so you can protect your phone in style. Made of flexible TPU and textured with carbon fiber detailing, the case offers a strong grip so you don’t have to worry about your phone slipping from your hands in the middle of a Netflix binge or an important call. Plus, it’s compatible with wireless and reverse wireless charging, so you can use your phone hassle-free.

Samsung Protective Standing Case

Available in navy, white, pink, or lavender, the Protective Standing Case from Samsung has a stylish textured back that adds extra grip to your phone. This slim, light case offers MIL-STD 810G – 516.7 military-grade drop protection, keeping your phone safe should it slip through your fingers. It’s wireless charging compatible, too, but perhaps its best feature is the built-in kickstand that folds out for hands-free video calls or Netflix binges.

Official Samsung Leather Cover

Add some classic style to your S22 with this leather case from Samsung. Crafted from high-quality genuine leather, it comes in deep green, light gray, or classic black. This slim case clips onto the back of your phone without adding bulk, making it ideal for those who like to slip their phone into a pocket. It’s wireless charging compatible, so you won’t need to remove the case to juice up your device.

Olixar Silicone Case

For those who prefer a soft case, Olixar’s silicone case ticks all the boxes. Constructed from a strong, durable gel material, this soft-touch case feels great in your hand, while the silicone feel adds a nonslip grip. This slim-fitting case hugs the S22’s lines perfectly, making it a great choice for those who want to slide their phone into a pocket. Raised bezels around the screen and camera keep both safe from drops or bumps. It comes in three soft sorbet shades — pastel pink, mint green, and baby blue — and you can also opt for classic black or forest green.

LoveCases Gel Case

Don’t be fooled by how cute this case is — it offers some serious protection, too. Ultrathin, flexible, and lightweight, the Gel Case from LoveCases is clear and comes with three patterns: yellow and white daisies, white stars and moon, or colorful leopard print. We love the springlike vibe of the daisy option. The case features a nonslip grip with raised bezels around the camera and screen, and it’s wireless charging compatible, too.

Ringke Fusion X Tough Case

If you’re serious about protecting your phone but still want to show off its design, this is the case to get. The hybrid design features a crystal-clear polycarbonate back and a resilient, soft TPU bumper. Toughened shock-absorbing corners and a raised bezel help earn the MIL-STD 810G — 516.6 military-grade drop protection rating, ensuring your phone stays safe from even the worst drops. The outer TPU bumper features ridges and a nonslip design to keep your phone firmly in hand, while a USB-C port cover keeps out dust and dirt.

This slim, futuristic case has a special interior coating that prevents the case from scratching your phone, plus a dot-matrix pattern on the interior to stop bubbles or a rainbow effect. You can pick this case up in clear with black bumpers or in transparent camo with black bumpers.

Oterkin Clear Case

For those who own one of the more eye-catching S22 shades, this clear case shows off your phone in all its glory. The hard PC shell and soft TPU bumper add up to military-grade protection, with airbags in each corner for extra shock protection should you drop your phone. The clear shell is made with anti-yellowing materials, so your case will stay crystal clear.

This slim, lightweight case also features an anti-scratch coating, while raised edges around the screen and camera provide additional protection against bumps and drops. Rounding out the package is a tempered glass screen protector that works with the S22’s fingerprint reader for 360-degree protection.

K-max Auto-tok Card Case

No list of the best phone cases is complete without a card case — and we love this dual-layer case from K-max, with soft TPU and shock-resistant PC construction. Available in five colors — Marine Blue, rose gold, violet, black, and our pick, Phantom Green — this handy little case features a sliding dual-spring card slot to the rear that keeps your bank cards and ID securely stowed away. It’s slim enough to slide into a pocket, features raised bezels to protect the S22’s screen and camera, and is compatible with wireless charging and Samsung Pay.
