Samsung's lineup of Galaxy S22 handsets may not be the newest smartphones on the block any more, but they're still powerful (and expensive) devices with a lot to offer. If you're the owner of Samsung's 6.8-inch Phantom Black, Phantom White, Burgundy, or Green Galaxy S22 Ultra beast, you'll not want to venture out of the house unless it has a high-quality case wrapped around it.
Samsung offers a large variety of its own official designs for a custom fit on its own phone, but many other third-party vendors also got in on the action. But how do you decide which one to pick? We've got your back. Here are our picks for the best Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra cases available today.
Grabbed the S22 or S22+? We've got that covered, too. Check out our lists of the best cases for the S22 and the best cases for the S22 Plus.
The best soft Galaxy S22 Ultra case
Samsung Ultra Silicone Cover
- Streamlined with no added bulk
- Supports Qi wireless charging
- Grippy and durable
- Cover does not completely close
Among Samsung's arsenal of official cases is the slim Silicone Cover Case, which is stylish, simple, and available in a variety of colors. Durable and slightly grippy, the case wraps tightly around the S22 Ultra's edges for excellent protection and features a raised lip to guard against damage when the phone lies face down on a flat surface. The back is shielded against scratches, splashes, bumps, and impacts, and it comes without added bulk. With its perfect fit, the case stays out of the way of power and volume buttons, headphone and charging ports, and front and rear cameras, offering easy access to all ports, controls, and connectors. This case also supports Qi wireless charging.
The best lightweight Galaxy S22 Ultra case
Spigen Neo Hybrid Case
- Slim and lightweight
- Advanced drop protection
- Raised bezel protects screen and camera
- Exterior too slippery for some users
Spigen is renowned for its top-notch protection, and the Neo Hybrid Case is no exception. Constructed from durable TPU and polycarbonate, this slim, lightweight case provides extreme drop and scratch protection, with advanced shock absorption, including Air Cushion Technology that protects your device’s corners. A raised 1.5mm bezel around the screen protects against drops or placing your phone face down. This case comes in a sleek gunmetal colorway with a stylish two-tone pattern.
The best kickstand Galaxy S22 Ultra case
Samsung Ultra Clear Standing Cover
- Provides full-screen protection
- Does not add bulk
- Supports Qi wireless charging
- Cover does not completely close
This official Samsung Smart Clear View Cover Case is probably the optimal way to keep your Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra smartphone protected from scratches, scrapes, and impacts while staying updated with notifications, the time, battery life, incoming calls, and messages, thanks to the case's clear-view, semi-transparent front cover. It provides unobtrusive full-screen protection, and it's precisely constructed to allow easy access to all ports, controls, and connectors, as well as Qi wireless charging. The Clear View cover attaches to the back cover of your S22 Ultra without adding any bulk and then folds over the front. Thus, the phone's screen, back, and sides are protected from harm without the added thickness and weight normally associated with flip cases.
The best unique Galaxy S22 Ultra case
Ringke Fusion X Case
- Integrated non-slip ridges keep your grip
- Military-grade drop protection
- Interior coating protects the inside of the case
- Not compatible with some screen protectors
Want a case that stands out from the crowd and also offers superior protection for your Samsung Galaxy? Ringke’s Fusion X case comes in a cool semi-transparent camo style or a crystal-clear version with a black bumper. This hybrid case features a polycarbonate back with flexible TPU bumpers, which have integrated non-slip ridges to keep your phone firmly in hand. There’s no need to worry if you do drop it, though, as this case offers MIL-STD 810G -516.6 certified military-grade drop protection. A raised bezel around the screen, toughened corners, TPU-hardened button covers, and a USB-C port cover round out the protection. There’s even a special interior coating inside the case that stops it from scratching the back of your phone.
The best metal Galaxy S22 Ultra case
Ghostek Atomic Slim 4 Prismatic Aluminum Case
- Sleek and slim profile
- Military-grade lightweight alloy frame
- Wireless and reverse charging compatible
- Adds some bulk to the phone
You shouldn’t have to choose between superior protection and a slim case, and with the Slim 4 Prismatic Aluminum case, you don’t have to. This deceptively slim, sleek case has a hybrid dual-layer construction, providing rugged full-body shock and scratch-resistant protection for your phone. The military-grade lightweight alloy frame doesn’t add bulk to your phone but keeps it safe from drops and bumps, while a raised bezel around the screen and camera ensures both stay safe. This case also features a silicone port cover to keep dust, dirt, and water out of your charging port. It’s wireless and reverse charging compatible too, so you won’t have to keep removing it to juice up your phone.
The best leather Galaxy S22 Ultra case
Torro Leather Stand Wallet Case
- Gorgeous leather
- Folds into a horizontal stand
- Personalization options
- Room for up to three credit/debit cards
- On the more expensive side
The Galaxy S22 Ultra is a gorgeous, ultra-premium phone — and it deserves a case to match. Torro's leather wallet case doesn't have a crazy name, but it does have some high-quality credentials that help it to stand out. It's made from top grain U.S. cowhide leather that's handcrafted around a strong inner frame, which helps to keep your phone safe and secure. The case folds into a horizontal stand, but also has room for up to three credit or debit cards, travel tickets, or just a bit of extra cash. It's fully compatible with wireless chargers, and while it's on the more expensive side for a case, the quality speaks for itself.
The best drop-proof Galaxy S22 Ultra case
UAG Monarch Case
- Provides five layers of protection
- 20 feet of drop protection
- Raised bumper around screen and camera
- Can be expensive
This case from Urban Armor Gear can be expensive, but the protection it promises is worth every penny. Choose from one of five colors and you’ll get five layers of protection. That includes UAG’s signature armor frame, a soft shock-resistant core with grained leather, a polycarbonate plate, alloy metal hardware, and an impact-resistant rubber bumper with honeycomb traction grip. The raised bumper around the screen and camera means both have extra protection from drops or your phone being placed face down. There’s 20 feet of drop protection, which is just about the best available. Despite this rugged protection, the Monarch case is slim and featherweight, making it ideal for slipping into a pocket.
The best wallet Galaxy S22 Ultra case
Snakehive Vintage Leather Wallet
- Stylish and sophisticated
- Crafted from top-grain nubuck leather
- Includes three card slots and a pocket
- Expensive
Snakehive’s vintage leather wallet case comes in six vibrant colors, though we love this classic Chestnut Brown. Crafted from top-grain nubuck leather, it ages beautifully, developing a patina over time that makes every case unique. Inside, there are three card slots and a pocket for cash or documents, with everything held in place by a strong magnetic clasp. The case also folds out into a hands-free kickstand for viewing or video calls.
The best protective Galaxy S22 Ultra case
Otterbox Defender Pro Case with Belt Clip & Stand
- Strong Otterbox protection
- Includes a belt clip that doubles as a stand
- Wireless charging compatible
- Large and bulky
Otterbox is the name where protective cases are concerned, and it doesn't get much more comprehensive than the Defender Pro. This case builds on the already very strong Defender case, adding extra features and protection to make this one of the most protective Galaxy S22 Ultra cases you can buy. A polycarbonate shell combines with a synthetic rubber slipcover for excellent rugged protection, while the optional polycarbonate holster adds even more, as well as giving you the utility of a belt clip.
A silver-based treatment helps stop germs from growing on the case, and port covers keep dust and debris out of those vital and vulnerable areas. This used to be an expensive case, but can often be found at much more reasonable prices now. It's still big and bulky though, so take that into account before buying.
The best camera protecting Galaxy S22 Ultra case
Nillkin CamShield Pro Case
- Features a 0.2mm camera bezel slide cover
- Non-slip textured grippy design
- Easy to apply and remove
- S-Pen reported difficult to remove
The Nillkin CamShield Pro Case showcases a non-slip camera protection design, corner reinforcement, and precision cutouts. The phone’s delicate camera lenses get upgraded protection via a 0.2mm lifted bezel slide cover that shields the camera glass from scratches and other damage. Made of environmentally friendly TPU and PC material, the case also features four-corner protection with fingerprint- and impact-resistant bumpers and corners. Additional non-slip textured designs on both sides offer a comfortable grip. The case is easy to apply and remove, with an open mold and precise function cutouts.
The best clear Galaxy S22 Ultra case
Olixar Clear Case
- Lets the beauty of your phone shine through
- Adds no bulk
- Raised bezel protects the glass and camera
- No wireless charging
Let the beauty of your Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra smartphone shine through with the Olixar ultra-thin Clear Case. It may be invisible, but it doesn’t fall down on the job of protecting your smartphone. It’s made of an advanced TPU material that resists yellowing and maintains a transparent design while the case’s enhanced 1mm cover adds virtually no bulk to your phone. The raised lip around the back camera and front screen protects the glass from scratches, dust, dirt, and scuffs.
The best dual-layer Galaxy S22 Ultra case
Crave Dual Guard Case
- Colorful and attractive
- Grippy
- Adds no bulk to your phone
- Exterior reported slippery for some users
Available in eight colors — our favorite being this deep Forest Green — Crave’s Dual Guard Case is a colorful choice to protect your Galaxy S22 Ultra. Made from high-quality TPU, this case has a compact profile that makes it easy to grip, plus it’s slim and lightweight, so it doesn’t add bulk to your phone. Tactile buttons and a lifetime warranty round out the excellent protection on offer.
The best carbon fiber Galaxy S22 Ultra case
Mous Limitless 3.0 Carbon Fiber Case
- Genuine carbon fiber
- Compatible with magnetic accessories
- Exceptional drop protection
- Thin and lightweight
- Expensive
You might know Mous from its marketing videos where it drops new phones out of windows, off buildings, and even during a bungee jump — but don't worry, it's not because it's a company of sadists; it's because Mous's cases are just that darn good. Made from a combination of materials, Mous' Limitless 3.0 case uses its proprietary AiroShock technology to give its cases excellent drop protection.
Unlike many cases, the "carbon fiber" in the name isn't just a style; it's actual aramid carbon fiber. Admittedly, it's just a thin layer on top of the TPU and polycarbonate build, but it's real, and it's gorgeous. It's a fantastic everyday case with great protective qualities, but it certainly doesn't come cheap.
The best eco-friendly Galaxy S22 Ultra case
Incipio Organicore Clear Series
- 100% compostable and eco-minded cases
- Drop protection up to 14 feet
- One tree planted for each sale
- Some concerns about case durability
If you change your phone often, or even every other year, then cases can be a major contributor to waste. Often made from plastic, cases stack up in landfills and are notoriously slow to break down. If that horrifies you, then there are solutions that don't mean spurning the protection of a case. Incipio's Organicore is a great option, as it's a 100% compostable case entirely made from plant materials.
That doesn't mean it compromises on protection, though, as Incipio promises protection from drops up to 14 feet. Raised edges protect the screen, and textured grips help keep it in your hand. While love for these cases is strong, users have noted some concerns about the durability of the case itself. While it keeps your phone safe, there have been reports of the case's clear back shattering after drops.
The best multi-use Galaxy S22 Ultra case
SQMCase Carbon Fiber Clear Cover
- Easy access to fingerprint unlocking
- Soft rubber frame and built-in airbag
- 360-degree rotating ring for grip and kickstand
- No wireless charging
This multifunctional case, made of soft TPU, gives you the ultimate flexibility for toting your Galaxy S22 Ultra in style, all with easy access to fingerprint unlocking. The case sports a shock-absorbent design wherein four corners absorb impact and wear and tear. The case provides full-body protection with raised edges for the screen and camera. The soft rubber frame and built-in airbag provide full protection alongside the scratch- and fingerprint-resistant transparent back cover that displays the true color of your phone.
A 360-degree rotating ring affords extra grip to reduce the dropping risk. The ring also acts as a built-in, fold-out kickstand that firmly holds the phone in place for horizontal viewing. The metal plate on the back can attach to a magnetic car mount for navigation when driving. The Carbon Fiber Clear Cover works with most third-party screen protectors and other accessories.
