Plastic backs. Glass housing. Metal chassis. There are different personal preferences for that first feel of a smartphone when you unbox it. But, ultimately, it’s all moot when you pop your shiny (not to mention expensive) new smartphone in a protective case.
If you’re in the market for a Samsung Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+ or Galaxy S22 Ultra, we’ve got a round-up below of some of our favourite ones available (all of which ship to Australia).
In this guide:
- Samsung: The official range of cases
- Caka: Serious protection and features
- Takfox: Replace your wallet and protect your phone
- OtterBox: Antimicrobial protection
- OtterBox: Antimicrobial protection
- Lifeproof: Sustainably constructed cases
Which Galaxy S22 case is best for me?
With so many options out there, it really boils down to personal preference. Basically, as long as the case you buy offers protection for your $1,000+ Samsung Galaxy S22 investment, the rest is up to you.
Protection may be paramount, but there’s a range of different case styles that offer protection and something else. Expect to find the following kind of cases for the Galaxy S22 range (and most other smartphones), some of which you’ll find examples of below:
- Hard cases
- Gel cases
- Silicone cases
- Tough cases
- Leather cases
- Wallet cases
Samsung: Official Samsung S22 cases
It would be a missed opportunity if Samsung didn’t offer its own range of recommended cases for the Galaxy S22 phones, and Samsung has a few great choices, all of which are available across the range. If you want to keep it basic, stick with the Clear Cover or Clear Standing Cover. If you like the standing feature, there’s also a Protective Standing Cover.
For those who prefer silicone, Samsung offers a Silicone Cover, with or without a strap. For a different feel, consider the Leather Cover. Alternatively, Samsung also sells a Frame Cover for a more minimalist case, Smart Clear View Cover for basic reactive control, or the Smart LED View Cover for a pocket-and-customisable-front-LED combo. There are a few colour options for most of these cases, too.
Supported models: Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+, Galaxy S22 Ultra
Case types available: Smart LED View Cover, Smart Clear View Cover, Silicone Cover with Strap, Protective Standing Cover, Leather Cover, Silicone Cover, Clear Cover, Clear Standing Cover

Caka: Samsung S22 cases
If you’re serious about protecting your Galaxy S22, you should seriously consider starting your comparisons with a Caka case. Rose-gold is the default colour scheme for a versatile case that’s more than just military-grade protection with a tempered glass screen protector. There’s a slidable cover on the back to protect the camera lenses, a pop-out kickstand to view in landscape or portrait mode, and a slot on the back of the case for a single card and some cash. It’s also compatible with magnetic car mounts, plus Caka offers other case types if you fancy a different look and feel.
Supported models: Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+, Galaxy S22 Ultra
Case types available: Protective Case, Clear Cover, Glitter Case, Ultra Case, Flower Case

Takfox: Samsung S22 cases
If you’re looking to combo your phone protection in multiple ways, consider the Takfox Samsung Galaxy S22 range of leather wallet cases. There’s a detachable wrist strap to keep your hands free, plus the phone slips into a magnetic case, which you can remove when you make calls so you’re not effectively holding a wallet to your face. On the wallet front, there are nine slots for cards and two money pockets to help downsize from wallet and phone to an all-in-one solution. Takfox also has a number of other cases.
Supported models: Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+, Galaxy S22 Ultra
Case types available: Phone Holster, Wallet Case, Leather Holster

OtterBox: Samsung S22 cases
OtterBox made a name for itself with protective cases, but it offers more versatility these days. Cases range from clear cases to hard cases, with the option of adding a holster kickstand. Most of OtterBox’s Galaxy S22 case range includes antimicrobial materials, plus they all support wireless charging. There are different colour options to choose from for particular OtterBox cases, too.
Supported models: Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+, Galaxy S22 Ultra
Case types available: Commuter Series, Defender Series, Strada Series, Symmetry Series (Clear Case), React Series

CaseMate: Samsung S22 cases
Get some pizazz in your Samsung Galaxy S22 case with the unique case options from Case-Mate. Case-Mate has the basic options if you’re after clear or rugged protection, or a wallet folio phone case. Where Case-Mate sets itself apart, though, is by splicing eye-catching form with protective function, offering your choice of Galaxy S22 cases that have genuine gold flakes, a sparkly diamond-design case, or an ornate flower design.
Supported models: Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+, Galaxy S22 Ultra
Case types available: Karat Marble, Twinkle Diamond, Twinkle Diamond Ombre, Rifle Paper Co. (Willow and Garden Party Blue), BLOX (Black Marble and Clear), Tough Clear Plus, Tough Black, Tough Clear, Pelican Ranger (Black and Clear), Wallet Folio

Lifeproof: Samsung S22 cases
If you want to keep it simple, Lifeproof sells a handful of clear Samsung Galaxy S22 covers, in your choice of Essential Purple, Black Crystal, Zeal Grey or Unwavering Blue colours. These cases are made with 55% recycled plastic, which is admirable in its sustainability. But we particularly like Lifeproof’s Wāke cases, which keeps the two-metre drop protection while also being made from more than 85% ocean-based recycled plastic.
Supported models: Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+, Galaxy S22 Ultra
Case types available: Nëxt Case, See Case, Wāke Case
