Nice case
on May 27, 2026
Posted by: Bonfire
I actually kinda like this case than again I got it free with my s26 ultra, but for a free case? Its awesome it's not too too bulky and it's not too thin and flimsy where it'll fall of plus I don't have to go around buying different cases and just hoping for the best.

Not worth it.

Way too expensive for what it is. Was expecting some brick of a case for what I paid. Its too slippery and easy to drop. I did bump it up to two stars because I dropped it down a flight of stairs onto concrete and it survived. As another review stated, its ridiculous that it pops up an error message saying my magnetic case could interfere with the pen. You designed the magnet and you designed the pen...they should work perfectly together...but they dont...I got this case because I had to spend the Samsung credit I got for pre-ordering, if I would have had to spend my money on this case, I would have been MAD. Looks fairly nice and fits well though. Wish I would have read the reviews before purchasing.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The best case on the market for ultra 26.

I really like this case because it feels sleek and it's not grippy like the previous generations that gets stuck putting it in and out of your pockets. I have seen reviews that say it's not rugged but believe me when I say it is rugged. I dropped my phone from about hip height and I tried to catch it but I ended up pushing it making the drop hit the concrete floor harder than it would've if I had just let it fall and surprisingly not even a scuff was on the case let alone the phone. Its so sleek and light that it doesn't feel rugged but it is. The only thing I dont like about the case is the striped pattern on the back. They should've left it solid transparent. The price is also pretty steep but I think it's worth it because it looks like they put some effort into the impact cushions and the design. Also it is really easy to insert and remove from the phone. That being said it fits well enough on the phone that it won't come off when it falls. I will say I would really have liked it if it had a dust protection for the usb connection. I really recommend this case. Super nice.

BUYER BEWARE
on April 5, 2026
Posted by: SteveR
This case at this price point is a joke. It is thin, slippery and just not Ultra-Rugged. Buyer beware! Do not buy this case. I would have been money ahead to just buy an Otter box or a Magbak.... you will be too.

Slippery and no grip
on March 26, 2026
Posted by: Gen P
Returning the case. Case is super slippery and has no grip. Case looks great and protects the phone well. But high risk for dropping the phone due to slipperiness.

Barely mediocre... If I'm being generous.

Posted by: Rinkra
from Nampa, ID
Expertise:Expert
Pros:
-Doesn't interfere with S-Pen functionality (this is the ONLY reason it gets any stars at all, but I have to give it 2/5 because it's the only case I've found that actually hold up to the claim of no interference).
-Doesn't interfere with S-Pen functionality (this is the ONLY reason it gets any stars at all, but I have to give it 2/5 because it's the only case I've found that actually hold up to the claim of no interference).
Cons:
-Doesn't seem especially "Rugged" - I don't want to be afraid to drop my phone, but I am. I really hope I don't have to find out if the protection is as rugged as it says.
-Very slippery compared to every other phone case I've ever owned. Does not feel secure in my hand at all.
-Feels overpriced for what it is.

-Feels overpriced for what it is.
If a dead spot or two when writing with the S-Pen isn't that big a problem for you, I would HIGHLY recommend looking for a third-party case for your phone. This one, in all ways but one, is a major disappointment. As soon as a better option comes along, this will go into the trash.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Misleading Anti-rugged Transparent Case
on March 21, 2026
Posted by: Ultrachamo
Expertise:Intermediate
Sadly, the pictures are misleading as it's a transparent black instead of a solid color. On top of this, the grip on this is minimal as it is very slippery. I do not trust the protection provided by it's supposed ruggedness. I'd steer clear of this case if those things are important to you. We shall see if it yellows with time to see it's actual durability.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
