Samsung has supersized the Galaxy experience with the Galaxy S20 Ultra, and with that big beautiful 6.9-inch screen comes a larger and heavier phone than even last year's Galaxy Note 10+. While I can understand not wanting to bulk up your S20 Ultra, a case is not optional on a phone this big; you need a protective case to add grip to that big glass back and add some cushions or shock-absorbing bumpers to the corners. From clear and thin to big and functional, these are the best cases to buy your new flagship.

Perfect geometry

Caseology Parallax

This hybrid case comes in four colors this year — I just love the new teal — and combines a sturdy plastic frame with a flexible, curve-hugging TPU sleeve to give you the best of both worlds in a slim package.

Crystal clear winner

Spigen Liquid Crystal

I've loved this case for years and I continue to love this case for the Galaxy S20 Ultra. The Liquid Crystal is easy to get on and off and adds grip without obscuring that signature Samsung design.

Luxury look

Snakehive Vintage Leather Wallet


Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!


Snakehive's leather folios always feel wonderful in the hand, but I'd expect nothing less of European full-grain nubuck leather! This year's color options also include a darling teal, which looks positively to die for.

Thin, clear, wonderful

ESR Essential Zero


Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!


Clear cases don't come much thinner than the Essential Zero, and while I'm not sure how hard a drop I trust it to take, it adds enough grip that you shouldn't have to worry about that.

Ultra slim grip

Totallee Thin

There's no way around this: the Ultra is a huge phone. It's completely understandable that you wouldn't want to bulk it up more; that's what this 1mm case is perfect for some grip and scratch protection.

Clearly protective

ArmadilloTek CyberRanger Series

With extra protection in the corners and a crystal clear back, this durable case proves that not all clear cases have to be dainty. You can get it in clear with orange or red accents or a smoky black as well.

Premium feel for less

This case combines the grip and flexibility of a TPU bumper with a luxurious feel on the fabric back, available in black, gray, and in a black-blue that features a wonderful accent panel at the bottom.

Fit for a queen

UAG Monarch

This multi-layered marvel of a luxury case is durable, delectable, and still works with wireless charging. I'm partial to the Red model with the black leather because the contrast just pops!

Classic carbon fiber

Dahkoiz Shockproof TPU


Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!


Just need a little grip and some shock absorption to help disperse the kinetic energy from a small drop here and there? Dahkoiz's TPU case offers that up for less than the price of a pizza, and you can get it in black or blue.

Cards, cash, and chevrons

Feitenn Fabric Wallet


Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!


Rather than the classic leather look, this folio uses chevron-covered fabric. There's room for three cards and cash inside, and the first card flap has a porthole so that you can display your driver's license.

Germ-free grip

Speck Presidio Grip


Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!


Speck's iconic grip pattern is traditionally a place for grime to accumulate over time, but these days Speck puts a Microban treatement on the case so it repels germs and helps keep your phone's filth from infecting you.

All about the angles

Sucnakp Rough Grip


Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!


Sucnakp's Rough Grip has been around, but the S20 Ultra model is using a new slanted groove texture on the back alongside a narrow horizontal texture to the side of the camera module for a unique look and extra grip.

Thin texture

Nillkin Frosted Shield


Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!


Unlike other ultra-thin cases that eschew texture in the name of slimness, Nillkin covers its hardshell case in a fine, fine grid texture that helps even sweatier fingers keep hold of it without adding bulk.

Card slot champion

Olixar X-Ranger

This is a handy case for a girl who likes to be prepared. looking like just another heavy-duty case, it conceals a card slot/kickstand at the bottom, which you can use to carry the included multi-tool card.

Classic hybrid

Spigen Tough Armor

The flexible bumper of this case is shock absorbent and makes the case easy to slip on and off, while the hard shell on the back helps hold the kickstand and extra shock-absorbing foam.

Pretty (tough) in pink

Schnail Venus Series


Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!


This slim case combines a grippy TPU shell with a stabilizing plastic frame that keeps your S20 Ultra securely in place while you bounce around from place to place during your busy days. I love the pretty pink marble.

Bump the colors

Feitenn Ultra Thin Frosted Cover

This thin case offers you your choice in bumper color — black, dark green, navy blue, or fire red — and almost invisible air cushions around the corners. For this price, this clear case is a no-brainer.

Pastel protection

OtterBox Commuter Series

This seafoam green case features a shock-absorbing inner layer and a rigid shell that's easy to grip and easy to adhere PopSockets to, because weighing half a pound, you're going to want a PopSocket on the S20 Ultra.

Go beyond a basic case


There's no need to hide the Galaxy S20 Ultra's beautiful glass back, especially when clear cases like the

are getting more durable every year. For another thin case option that will add a lot of grip, the

is a darling shade of navy blue and will hug the S20's curves while also helping you keep ahold of your super-sized S20 Ultra.

Considering how big this phone already is, you might as well go for broke and get yourself a durable case that can double as a kickstand both horizontally or vertically. I've enjoyed the

because it's durable as all get-out and the kickstand also doubles as a phone grip while I'm walking around. That kickstand is also far more sturdy than most of the wimpy landscape-only kickstands that are built into the back of other cases, and the ability to use it in portrait mode makes it easier for browsing social media or reading e-books while eating a quick dinner in the break room.

for more ideas. After all, most casemakers will make a case for all three models, and if they choose to only make a case for one series, the Ultra seems to be the favorite this year.
