Otterbox is known for its durable protection, and the Defender Series Pro Case offers rugged protection with its polycarbonate shell, polycarbonate holder, and synthetic rubber slipcover. This case offers four-times as much drop protection as the military standard, with a comfy grip and port covers to keep dust, dirt, and lint out. A raised edge around the camera and screen add an extra layer of defense, while a silver-based antimicrobial additive is woven into the case to inhibit microbial growth and defend against common bacteria.
The in-built holster doubles as a belt clip and hands-free kickstand, and this case is wireless charging compatible. It's also made with 50% recycled plastic. It is the most expensive case on our list, but if you're after serious protection, it's worth every penny.
With its military-grade aluminum alloy frame and raised shockproof aluminum bumpers, the Atomic Slim Case from Ghostek is a must for those serious about protecting their new phone. This case features a crystal-clear, scratchproof back, with a choice of four colored aluminum bumpers: red, pink, black, and Prismatic.
Where the Atomic Slim case really shines is its ability to protect against serious drops. You get up to 12 feet of drop protection in this slim shell, with a non-slip traction grip to keep your phone firmly in hand. Despite this sturdy dual-layer protection, the case is compatible with wireless charging and PowerShare, so you don't need to keep taking it on and off to juice up your phone.
Keep your pockets happy and your peace of mind intact with this popular case from Crave. Its slim profile makes it easy to slip into a pocket, while improved shock absorption keeps your phone safe should you drop it. Speaking of drops, this case has a grippy finish with tactcile buttons and boasts dual-layer TPU and PC protection. It's compatible with wireless charging and PowerShare and comes in a choice of nine colors — though we like the sleek simplicity of the Slate variant (pictured).
Slim, minimalist clear cases don't offer excellent drop protection — but this one from Speck is an exception. Offering up to 13 feet of drop protection, with impact technology to cushion your phone against knocks and falls, it is surprisingly slim and lightweight. The Perfect Clear coating and anti-yellowing materials ensure your phone case will stay crystal clear over time, while Microban antimicrobial treatment reduces bacteria growth on the case by 99%. A raised screen bezel rounds out the protection on offer — and this case is compatible with wireless charging, too.
Want a solid pick from a reliable brand? Go for the Spigen Rugged Armor case. It has a slim frame with a timeless design so you can protect your phone in style. Made of flexible TPU and textured with carbon fiber detailing, the case offers a strong grip so you don’t have to worry about your phone slipping from your hands in the middle of a Netflix binge or an important call. Plus, it's compatible with wireless and reverse wireless charging, so you can use your phone hassle-free.
Available in navy, white, pink, or lavender, the Protective Standing Case from Samsung has a stylish textured back that adds extra grip to your phone. This slim, light case offers MIL-STD 810G – 516.7 military-grade drop protection, keeping your phone safe should it slip through your fingers. It’s wireless charging compatible, too, but perhaps its best feature is the built-in kickstand that folds out for hands-free video calls or Netflix binges.
Add some classic style to your S22 with this leather case from Samsung. Crafted from high-quality genuine leather, it comes in deep green, light gray, or classic black. This slim case clips onto the back of your phone without adding bulk, making it ideal for those who like to slip their phone into a pocket. It’s wireless charging compatible, so you won’t need to remove the case to juice up your device.
For those who prefer a soft case, Olixar’s silicone case ticks all the boxes. Constructed from a strong, durable gel material, this soft-touch case feels great in your hand, while the silicone feel adds a nonslip grip. This slim-fitting case hugs the S22’s lines perfectly, making it a great choice for those who want to slide their phone into a pocket. Raised bezels around the screen and camera keep both safe from drops or bumps. It comes in three soft sorbet shades — pastel pink, mint green, and baby blue — and you can also opt for classic black or forest green.
Don’t be fooled by how cute this case is — it offers some serious protection, too. Ultrathin, flexible, and lightweight, the Gel Case from LoveCases is clear and comes with three patterns: yellow and white daisies, white stars and moon, or colorful leopard print. We love the springlike vibe of the daisy option. The case features a nonslip grip with raised bezels around the camera and screen, and it’s wireless charging compatible, too.
If you’re serious about protecting your phone but still want to show off its design, this is the case to get. The hybrid design features a crystal-clear polycarbonate back and a resilient, soft TPU bumper. Toughened shock-absorbing corners and a raised bezel help earn the MIL-STD 810G — 516.6 military-grade drop protection rating, ensuring your phone stays safe from even the worst drops. The outer TPU bumper features ridges and a nonslip design to keep your phone firmly in hand, while a USB-C port cover keeps out dust and dirt.
This slim, futuristic case has a special interior coating that prevents the case from scratching your phone, plus a dot-matrix pattern on the interior to stop bubbles or a rainbow effect. You can pick this case up in clear with black bumpers or in transparent camo with black bumpers.
For those who own one of the more eye-catching S22 shades, this clear case shows off your phone in all its glory. The hard PC shell and soft TPU bumper add up to military-grade protection, with airbags in each corner for extra shock protection should you drop your phone. The clear shell is made with anti-yellowing materials, so your case will stay crystal clear.
This slim, lightweight case also features an anti-scratch coating, while raised edges around the screen and camera provide additional protection against bumps and drops. Rounding out the package is a tempered glass screen protector that works with the S22’s fingerprint reader for 360-degree protection.
No list of the best phone cases is complete without a card case — and we love this dual-layer case from K-max, with soft TPU and shock-resistant PC construction. Available in five colors — Marine Blue, rose gold, violet, black, and our pick, Phantom Green — this handy little case features a sliding dual-spring card slot to the rear that keeps your bank cards and ID securely stowed away. It’s slim enough to slide into a pocket, features raised bezels to protect the S22’s screen and camera, and is compatible with wireless charging and Samsung Pay.

Merely days after the iPhone Duo hit the shelves, images of broken screens on the phone started popping up across social media. Until now, it’s been unclear what’s causing the line of defective pixels that appears vertically along the crease, as well as horizontally, on the phone’s inner display.
Apple has finally acknowledged the issue, which has shown up on iPhone Duo units owned by customers as well as demo units in stores. In a statement shared with Bloomberg, Apple says that not all iPhone Duo units are affected and that those that are tend to show the display fault early on. The company added that users who experience problems with their iPhone Duo display should contact AppleCare for a replacement.
Not long ago, Apple treated independent repair like an act of outright hostility. The Cupertino giant locked down parts with serial-number pairing, while repair tools remained firmly out of reach of anyone outside its authorized repair network. More importantly, the company waged a legal and lobbying battle against right-to-repair legislation.
I've covered enough of these fights over the years to know what a shift looks like. That's why what happened in October 2026 genuinely caught me off guard. The day the iPhone Duo went on sale, what may be the most mechanically complex iPhone to date, Apple pulled off a surprising about-face. It published teardown-style repair manuals for a handful of major components.
Apple's first foldable phone is now on shelves, in short supply, but with an unreal amount of buzz around it. After all, it's the first foldable iPhone, and there's plenty that this phone gets right. But there's also a lot that is either broken or underwhelming. What's peculiar is the dialogue around this phone, and how it has completely overshadowed every other attempt at making a phone with a similar form factor.
I've spent some time with the iPhone Duo, and I've used the Galaxy Z Fold 8 for almost three months now. In my opinion, Samsung deserves more credit. When the Galaxy Z Fold 8 arrived earlier this year, it was celebrated in some circles and ridiculed in others for supposedly copying what Apple would eventually deliver with the iPhone Duo. The dialogue was pretty odd, for multiple reasons. Samsung has been making foldable phones for years, so claiming that it copied a product Apple hadn't even launched was simply absurd.
