Best Galaxy S20, S20+ and S20 Ultra cases: Top picks in every style

Protect your expensive phone from tragedy.

- MICHAEL SIMON & JASON CIPRIANI

We’re just gonna say it—you’re crazy to take your Galaxy S20 out in public without something to protect it. With prices starting at $1,000 and going all the way up to $1,600, it’s one of the most expensive phones ever made. It’s also the biggest, with the S20 Ultra tipping the scales at a whopping (and eminently droppable) 6.9 inches. So check out these picks and stop playing chicken with your phone.

SMARTISH WALLET SLAYER VOL. 1

Price: $20 from go.pcworld.com/smcs

Colors: Black, various

Why we love it: The Smartish Wallet Slayer doesn’t just have a cool name, it lives up to it. The case has enough room for three credit cards on the back, but its soft material keeps it from getting too bulky. The texturized sides are nice to grip, and the buttons are firm yet easy to push. Whether you buy it in black, choose one of the designs, or customize it with your own artwork, you’ll be very happy with this stylish wallet case.

GEAR4 CRYSTAL PALACE

Price: $40 from go.pcworld.com/g4cr

Colors: Clear

Why we love it: All Gear4 cases come with D3O protection, which is the same material used in helmets and protective gear. You can immediately tell that the Crystal Palace has a sturdy and premium feel to it, without being too bulky. But it’s a little more slippery than other cases, one more reason why Gear 4’s claim that this case will protect your phone from a 13-foot drop is so important. But our favorite part of this case is how slick it looks, with a shimmery rainbow effect that changes depending on how you’re holding it.

X-DORIA DEFENSE SHIELD

Price: $30 from go.pcworld.com/xdoe

Colors: Iridescent, red, black
