Your Galaxy S22 deserves the best cases ever — and they're right here
Call it the small, the regular, the "baby" Samsung Galaxy S22, but the 6.1-inch model rocks, especially for smaller hands like mine. As the easiest Galaxy S22 model to use one-handed or actually fully fit into your pocket, this phone deserves proper protection and some style. Get both with these best Samsung Galaxy S22 cases.
Stylish and secureCaseology Nano Pop for Galaxy S22Staff Pick
This was the best Galaxy S21 case and it's shaping up to keep that title another year. The Nano Pop's two-tone provides a nice bit of flair while also adding extra protection around the Samsung Galaxy S22's all-important cameras.
Heavy hitterSUPCASE UB Pro
If you need a case that can survive cars, three-story ladders, and lawnmowers, try the UB Pro case. SUPCASE's Unicorn Beetle Pro beats OtterBox on both durability and price, comes in five colors, and has a wide, stable kickstand for your Galaxy S22.
Straps for daysGalaxy S22 Series Silicone Cover with Strap
While the default S22 strap that comes with this Galaxy S22 cover may not be super-bold, that's absolutely fine. Just buy a replacement strap in a solid, patterned, or even a licensed design. This was the best Galaxy Z Flip 3 case because of its fun nature and functionality - that strap is a phone grip - and I'm ecstatic that the Samsung Galaxy S22 gets to have it, too.
Clear as crystalSpigen Liquid Crystal Series for Galaxy S22
Spigen's Liquid Crystal has been the de facto clear case for years, but I actually prefer its Glitter twin whenever it's available. Why go glitter? It hides the fingerprint smudges, the grime, and helps obscure small scratches or cracks your Samsung Galaxy S22 might have.

Better for the planetPela Sustainable Case
While some cases on this list are made with partially recycled materials, Pela's case is made of compostable biopolymer and flax straw. You may think that sounds like a terribly rough case for your Galaxy S22, but Pela's cases feel marvelous in hand.
Lens coverNillkin CamShield Pro
Professional cameras all come with lens covers, but smartphones rarely do. Nillkin's CamShield series lets you keep the Galaxy S22's triple-camera array safe and scratch-free when you're not actively using it while adding the necessary grip.
Texas toughCaseBorne Armadillotek Series V
This heavy-duty case's kickstand works great both vertically and horizontally, making it functional as well as durable. Designed in Texas, the Armadillotek Series V (Vanguard Series) is ruggedly handsome and ready to work. It's one of the best, meanest, and baddest cases for your Galaxy S22.
Pretty (tough)Kate Spade New York Defensive Hardshell
Kate Spade may be better known for shoes and handbags, but its Incipio-made cases have become quite reliable. For the Samsung Galaxy S22, rather than just one pattern, we have four to choose from: leopard print, two flower patterns, and a bi-pride iridescent ombre. Grab the swankiest phone cover to dress up your S22!
Bold and bravePoetic Neon
The Poetic Neon bears the same two-layer construction and durability as the OtterBox Commuter series for half the price and over twice as many colors. There are two green colorways, but the blue, purple, and orange are just as striking. You're sure to love these vibrant yet rugged S22 cases.
Low-profile kickstandESR Metal Kickstand Case
Want a kickstand case that's not as bulky as SUPCASE or CaseBorne? ESR's Galaxy S22 kickstand case is more lithe and limber. Available in a textured black or a smoother clear version, this model's perfect for breakroom binges.
Raised rightRingke Onyx
Ringke's flexible TPU case for the Samsung Galaxy S22 is grippy, durable, and compact, but two tiny holes help separate it from the pack: anchor points. While most may only use these for cutesy phone charms, they're also great for attaching a lanyard or a wrist strap.
Luscious feelGalaxy S22 Leather Cover
While PU leather cases come close, there's just nothing in the world that ever quite matches a genuine leather case for your Galaxy S22. Samsung's leather cases, especially, have long been beloved for their immaculate fit and finish. There's no brown this year, though; instead, we have black, deep green, and a very light gray.
Clear yet colorfuli-Blason Ares
Thicker than Spigen's but with a multi-piece design and larger air cushions, the Ares is beautiful as Aphrodite while also ready for battle. Both the red and purple models look great with Rose Pink, and purple contrasts the green wonderfully.
BiodegradeableUAG Outback Bio Series
UAG has hopped on the eco-friendly train that Pela pioneered years ago, making a 100% compostable, biodegradable case that can also still survive up to 12-foot drops. Not to mention, this Samsung Galaxy S22 cover has excellent grip. I only wish it came in all the colors Pela does.
Old reliableSpigen Rugged Armor - Designed for Galaxy S22 Case Matte Black
If you're a no-nonsense Galaxy S22 owner looking for a no-nonsense case, the Rugged Armor was made exactly for you. While the bottom keeps the classic carbon fiber, the top accent is an easier texture to grip when taking photos or gaming.
Surprisingly grippyCaseology Parallax for Galaxy S22
Many look at the Parallax's cubist texturing across the back and think it might be too slick, but this epic case will stay securely in your hand thanks to two highly textured grips along the sides of the bumpers. I highly recommend the burgundy and green colorways for your precious Galaxy S22.
No-slip gripGear4 Santa Cruz
With either a black or verdant green bumper made with D3O for 13-foot drop protection, this transparent phone cover is minimal in design while keeping your Galaxy S22 safe from any harm.
Still iconicSpeck Presidio2 Grip
Speck's cases have slowly upgraded over the years, but there's no denying what keeps us coming back year after year are those groovy little bumps across the back of the case. Call it an acquired taste, but I think this ridged case for your Galaxy S22 is pretty sweet.
The best Galaxy S22 cases grab your attention and your handThe Galaxy series usually gets the most variety in phone cases when it comes to Android phones, but it can take a little while for them all to arrive (especially in our current shipping shortage). However, we already have tons of name-brand options available from reliable brands like Caseology, SUPCASE, Spigen, and Ringke. Caseology's Nano Pop was the best Galaxy S21 case and it remains my top recommendation for the Galaxy S22 due to how well it's held up over the last year. If the navy/yellow look isn't to your liking, there's an Evo Green version on the way.
If you prefer a heavy-duty case for your Samsung Galaxy S22, both the SUPCASE UB Pro and CaseBorne Armadillotek Series V offer robust protection for completely reasonable prices. I think the Series V has a slightly better kickstand, but the UB Pro's colors are more polished - except for the purple, the Series V in that two-tone purple is perfection.
After grabbing a case, be sure to grab the best screen protector and best Galaxy S22 accessories to ensure your Samsung Galaxy S22 is protected and fashionable on all sides!
