Spigen Tough Armor Designed for Galaxy S23 Ultra Case (2023) [Kickstand] [Military-Grade Protection] - Black

Works Well and it affordable.

The durable Spigen Tough Armor case has both the looks and the braun, and is a perfect fit for my Samsung S23 Ultra.This case utilizes high-quality materials for superior protection. My phone flew out of my hand once when I was taking it out of my pocket during a workout. It slammed into my weight machine pretty hard and there was not a single scratch to the phone or the case. The phone surely would have broken if I did not have this case.While durable, it is not clunky at all. It provides a sleek design that fits tightly over the S23 Ultra. The way it contours each camera lens gives it a premium look, which I appreciated much more than some of the other open lens cover designs.The Samsung S23 Ultra itself is a very large phone with sharp corners, making it very uncomfortable to hold without a case. The Spigen Tough Armour does a great job to make this phone comfortable to hold. I compared it to 4 other premium cases, including the Spigen Cryo Armor, which I also loved. But at the end of the day, the Tough Armor appeared to be much more durable, felt more comfy, provided great screen and camera lens protection, and just looks damn sexy!While not quite as grippy as some other rubberized cases, the Tough Armor has a premium satin feel and does not feel slippery. That being said, there probably is a little room for improvement, maybe by adding more textures on the sides and back to provide even better grip. The satin material does pick up some smudges, but not nearly as bad as more glossy cases. This is easy to clean up with a quick wipe down, however.The case itself has good rise above the screen on the sides and extra lip on top and bottom for added protection. It is compatible with the Whitestone Dome Glass screen protector, which I also highly recommend with this case.As mentioned before, the cutouts for the camera lenses provide a sleek and sexy look. It not only fits snuggly around each lens, but the extra depth protects the awesome S23 Ultra camera lenses. And it is completely compatible with Spigen EZ Fit Optik Pro lens protectors.The button coverings feel good and are very responsive. The one minor drawback is that + and - volume buttons are flush with each other. There is only a very fine line separating them, so it is hard to tell which button you are pressing. But the - volume button is just above the indented power button which serves as a good reference, so no big deal.This case also features a neat little kickstand. While not as robust as the ones on some other cases, it does its job well enough.I have been super impressed with this case. For as big as the S23 Ultra phone is, this case is comfortable and has a very slim design while maintain optimal protection. I highly recommend it as it will protect your investment.

Exelente producto, me llegó antes de tiempo y estoy muy agradecido, el material es totalmente extraordinario 🥳🥳

4/5 Stars because the S23 Ultra black case is great overall, but I wish it had a different design on the sound buttons.The lock button has this fantastic design that's basically a column of lines with gaps between them that makes it super obvious that what your finger is touching is in fact the lock button. I loved that instantly!Then, after using the case for awhile, I started finding myself having to look at the side of my phone to see what sound button I was pressing, or about to press. The sound buttons are completely flat, unlike the lock button, and have the plus and minus symbols on them, but the symbols are small cutouts from the material, rather than extruding from the flatness of the material/case. They're so small that, when sliding your finger across them, it's basically impossible to feel them. Same with the small line in between the sound up/down buttons.I really think this is a big flaw with the case, as there's only 3 buttons on the phone/case and they screwed up 2 of them. Designing a good case doesn't really take much work if you think about it - Outside texture, holes for camera, cord, speakers, and the BUTTONS. I find it hard to believe anyone saw the first case they made and thought the buttons were good.S PEN HOLE: For those who want to know if the hole in the case for the S pen is easy enough to still get the pen out, for me it works great! I have average sized hands/fingers and I keep my fingernails very short, so retrieving the S pen isn't an issue. HOWEVER: I can ONLY get the S pen out with my FINGERNAILS. I've just sat here for a few minutes verifying this, and I absolutely CANNOT get the S pen out without using my fingernails. For me, this is fine, as that's how I would normally retrieve the pen, but if you're someone with huge fingers or no fingernails, I think you might have a difficult time getting the S pen out of its slot.CASE STAND: It only works in landscape mode, it does NOT work with your phone standing vertically. The seller doesn't advertise that it does, but I had first thought it did when I ordered the case because I skimmed through the images a bit too quickly. I didn't buy the case because of the stand, but it would've been nice if the stand was centered on the back of the phone so it COULD work vertically. Not sure why they chose to put it to the side (literally & figuratively).OVERALL I would still recommend this case. Feels good, looks good, feels sturdy, I can get the S pen out without trouble, and the stand on the back of the case works.

So I love this case and I've actually bought 2 of them over the years. My only issue is the kickstand breaking on both. After a while the kickstand will break off where it connects to the case. You can kinda Jerry rig it to work but after a while the piece falls off and you lose it. They need to rethink the way they attach the kickstand to the case, possibly by run the piece holding it on further into the case so it had a bit more support.Update: moved to 5 stars as Spigen does have a warranty on these cases and sent me a new case due to the broken kickstand!
