Samsung S23 Ultra 5G Case (S23 Ultra, Black) Review – MagSafe Compatible
Introduction
The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is a flagship phone demanding equally impressive protection. This review delves into the Samsung S23 Ultra 5G case (S23 Ultra, Black), a minimalist, MagSafe-compatible option promising both style and protection. After several weeks of daily use, I’m ready to share my honest assessment.
Features
This case boasts several key features designed to appeal to the discerning S23 Ultra owner. The advertised high-quality carbon fiber material feels premium to the touch, offering a pleasing texture and solid grip. Its ultra-thin design is a major plus, adding minimal bulk to the already sleek phone. The MagSafe compatibility is a game-changer for wireless charging convenience. The raised edges provide crucial protection for both the screen and camera lenses, a crucial aspect for a case’s efficacy. The anti-fingerprint and anti-scratch claims are also put to the test throughout this review.

Performance
In terms of protection, the case has performed admirably. It has withstood several accidental drops (nothing major, thankfully!), and the phone emerged unscathed. The MagSafe compatibility works flawlessly with my MagSafe charger, offering the fast and convenient wireless charging I expect. The slim profile makes it easy to use the phone one-handed and slip it in and out of pockets without hassle. The carbon fiber texture genuinely improves grip, minimizing the risk of accidental slips.
However, while the case is marketed as “waterproof,” it’s crucial to manage expectations. This isn’t a fully waterproof case, rather offering basic protection against splashes. Submersion isn’t recommended. Also, the anti-fingerprint coating is effective but not miraculous; fingerprints still accumulate, although less readily than on a bare phone.
Over time, I’ve noticed minor signs of wear, particularly around the edges. The case has held up well but doesn’t appear as pristine as when it was first received. This is to be expected with daily use.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Slim design, good grip, MagSafe compatibility, effective protection against minor drops, premium feel, stylish appearance.
- Cons: Not fully waterproof, minor signs of wear after prolonged use, anti-fingerprint coating not entirely perfect.
Final Verdict
Overall, the Samsung S23 Ultra 5G case (S23 Ultra, Black) is a solid choice for those seeking a stylish, slim, and MagSafe-compatible case for their precious S23 Ultra. While not perfect, its strengths in protection, design, and functionality outweigh its minor drawbacks. I would recommend this case to anyone looking for a balance between style, protection, and MagSafe convenience. It is a well-crafted accessory that delivers on most of its promises.
