Spigen Tough Armor MagFit Case for Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, Compatible with MagSafe Accessories - Black

As always, Spigen cases are the best case on the market, and at the most reasonable price out there. This is the 4th Spigen Tough Armor case I've owned, and every single one of them has been top notch. Tight fit, but easy to remove if needed. Great drop protection (had a Note 4, S7, Note 10, S22Ultra, and now an S25Ultra. All got spigen cases, none had any damage. EVER!) even when falling from my lap to the concrete on multiple occasions, and even being thrown across the room on accident a few times! (Lost it in the bed and flipped it across the room when I flipped the blanket lol)And, the price is simply insane for the quality. The first one I bought was the most expensive, as I think they were just starting out. But now, just about all their cases are less than $25 dollars. I've had mulitple occasions where I had the same phone, but in an otter case (company phones) and those phones would end up damaged having been through 1/10th the abuse as my phone in the Tough Armor case.They truly are the best tough case out there.Also, it's worth noting that I never had a tempered glass screen protector on any of those phones (if you aren't aware, they had curved screens so tempered glass wouldn't work on them), so that toughness I experienced was with the Tough Armor case (no built-in screen protector) and a generic film/plastic screen protector.So, important notes about the case:1. It is 2 pieces. This is what I think makes them so good. The inner rubber piece doesn't grip the entire phone. It usually has a sort of spider web type impression in the rubber, along with some shock absorbing pads inside. That wraps the phone, and then there is a hard plastic piece that clips down around the rubber interior piece. It's deceiving because it's easy to take apart when it's not on the phone, but once together the design is tight and won't slip off.2. There is a built-in kick stand that is ok. It's not great, but it does it's job. It's always been a little piece of plastic, so it's not like it has changed at all since the first one of them I owned.3. It has a standoff on the front of the phone to prevent the screen from touching tables etc if you lay it down, face down.4. You have to be sure to get a screen protector that works with the case (most will work but some won't). I usually just stay with Spigen for the screen protectors too, because they guarantee they will work with their cases.5. It adds only a minor amount of bulk/weight to the phone. It's remarkably light and easy to handle. Just enough to make the phone feel secure in your hand.6. The new s25Ultra cases are magnetic charging ready, so no need to attach magnets to the back.7. One issue I have run into is that certain charging cables will be too big to fit. But, to be fair, the only ones I have ever had issues with had overly large plastic housings around the actual plugs. For the most part, most normal sized charging cables will fit just fine.

I've been using Samsung phones exclusively since the release of the Galaxy Note 2, and with every phone have had an Otterbox as it's case in one form or another, and when I got my S24 Ultra in September, much like with my S22 Ultra, I got an Otterbox Defender because, well... it was all I knew and had been using.The Defender is a solid case, but my experience with it on my S22 Ultra was unpleasant. The bottom bracket of the plastic frame broke within a few months, and the rubber grip of the outer protective layer wore down under a year, the charging port cover fell off in less than 6 months. The other issue was the extra bulk the Otterbox adds to the phone, unnecessarily so. While it is not a crazy amount, it still makes handling the phone with one hand feel flimsy, and really just isn't the most comfortable or easy to access while in my pockets. I've begun to get more into photography as a hobby and use a tripod/gimble and need to remove the Defender to get the phone to get in the holder, and now it is unprotected.After looking up multiple reviews and cases it came down to UAG and Spigen and the Tough Armor with MagSafe was the winner. While both have MagSafe/MagFit capabilities, the UAG was again, going to be too bulky for me, and just felt too tacticool for my style. The Tough Armor had enough of a sleek and stylish design without being too "look at me!", along with protection, durability and great reviews, I pulled the trigger.The case feels amazing once you snap it on to the S24 Ultra, it has a nice weight and you can feel the quality in your hand immediately. The ergonomics are perfect for me as I have great comfort operating with one hand or two, and am able to manipulate the phone with one hand to be able to cover the larger screen real estate.The kickstand is a nice touch for those like myself, who do not plan to use any MagSafe accessories such aside from mounts and chargers, as wallets and rings/stands are redundant (unless you're going for one that allows vertical hands free usage). The MagSafe functionality for me is going to come from wireless charging (any MagSafe qi2 compatabile charger will be what you want to use!), and a Bulletpoint phone mount for my Jeep. And yes, the MagSafe ring is positioned in the middle (for functionality purposes) and this does cause accessories (aside from rings) to block the bottom camera lenses.The black color is gorgeous as it has a slight two tone appearance from the different materials it is made from, that gives it a clean and subtle style. The volume and power button rockers are snappy and resistant. No S PEN issues to report from my end either.I was so impressed with this case, I bought the Tough Armor for my mother's iPhone 16 Pro Max, as she was using a sillicon case, and had previously used an Otterbox but really disliked the bulk... and she too, loves it.And finally the price... you can't beat this. Otterbox... you're paying for the name more than the product itself.Solid case all around... the MagSafe ring position is a bummer but as I stated, does not affect my usage of the phone or the MagSafe option. 10/10.

I have used 10+ different cases with my Galaxy phones over the years, but Spigen has become my favorite. It has a fairly minimalist design, but has done a fantastic job protecting my devices. There have been specific instances of my phone getting dropped or having a hard impact that I just knew was going to shatter the back, and I have been surprised at the protection level of this case. I also hate cases that are slippery in my hand, and the spigen cases surprisingly have decent grip even with their smooth texture. This is now all I use to protect my devices.

Feels tough and durable and had proven to protect my phone. Been using Spigen cases for most of my phones for the last decade. The plastic shell on "Tough Armor" always scratches pretty easy, so looks rough after just a few months. The "Tough Armor" kickstand is nice but they always wear out after about a year. I just remove the kickstand from the case when it doesn't snap closed anymore. I've never had a phone break in a Spigen case; hard to argue with results. I'm actually buying this case again after just a few months. Phone dropped from the top of the shower door rail (~7 feet). Phone survived but this Spigen model has a thin plastic arch over the top of the camera lenses. Such a small piece of plastic that broke in the fall.
