Best S22 cases 2024

Whether you've had it since launch or scored a good deal on a pre-owned model, the Galaxy S22 is still an excellent phone with a fast SoC and a gorgeous display. It has a premium-feeling aluminum frame and Gorilla Glass Victus+ on the front and back. Yet, despite the impressive build quality, the device is not indestructible. The last thing you want to deal with is a cracked smartphone, as it gets harder to find official parts the further we get from release.

You may not want to cover your beautiful green colorway, but it'll be worth it to protect your Galaxy S22. Besides, the phone is small enough that throwing a case on it won't really affect its portability. In any case (pun intended), here are some of the best Galaxy S22 cases we've tried out.

A stylish Galaxy S22 case is worth the effort

Phones are getting expensive and many of us are still on two or three-year payment plans for the one we carry. The Galaxy S22 still has a lot to give with frequent software updates from Samsung keeping it running right. Luckily, this popular phone has a large variety of cases available so you can avoid an unplanned and costly upgrade to the Galaxy S23 if you pick it up with slippery fingers.

For most people, the first-party Samsung Galaxy S22 Leather Cover is the perfect pick. It's thin, luxurious, stylish without being exuberant, and it feels extremely comfy to hold. You get precise cutouts and added grip thanks to that lovely genuine leather texture and there are three assorted shades to choose from, though they aren't very creative.

Since using the phone, I've taken a liking to the OtterBox Symmetry clear case for the Galaxy S22, as I'm able to show off the gorgeous green colorway and still be confident that my phone is protected. Of course, OtterBox has plenty of cases for different needs, including some of the best Galaxy S22 screen protectors, but this is the one I find myself using most.

If you want something spicier, I found myself falling hard for the Raptic Shield Case in Iridescent. It's big, it's bad, and it's got beautiful borders that shift shades like an oil spill. Not to mention, that military-grade durability on this tough S22 phone cover provides much peace of mind.

The Smartish Wallet Case is an excellent choice if you want something with more utility. It features a pouch that can hold three cards and some cash, so you can free up your pocket and not have to carry a separate wallet when you're out and about. 

Not only that, but this S22 wallet & folio case feels great in hand, enables wireless charging through the case, and comes in a few great colors. I'm partial to the Flavor of the Month, as it makes my Galaxy S22 look simply out of this world.

After grabbing a case and screen protector, be sure to grab one of the best Galaxy S22 accessories to ensure your Galaxy S22 is properly paired up, tuned up, and charged up (since it doesn't come with a charger in the box). We also recommend a nice pair of earbuds since the S22 lacks an audio jack.
