During our review of the Galaxy S23 Ultra, it became clear it is the crème de la crème of Samsung's Galaxy S series in 2023. It brings some noteworthy improvements over its predecessor to live up to its Ultra moniker and is already shaping up to become one of the best phones of the year.

It's also on the expensive side, so you might want to consider buying a case to protect it from accidental drops and scuffs. If you're wondering which ones to buy, then here's a list of the best Galaxy S23 Ultra cases in 2023:
