Galaxy S24 (2024) Cases: Screen Protectors and Chargers.

You’ll drop

your smartphone. My Galaxy Note fell out of my pocket onto the metal frame of the seat in a movie theater. The side button was crushed, and the phone continued to try to activate Bixby. By the end of the film, the phone was hot. A case could have protected the phone from damage… or not. I tested over 50 cases and screen guards for Samsung Galaxy S24, S24+ and S24 Ultra phones to find the ones that provide comprehensive protection at affordable prices. There are also a few accessories that will complete your new phone. We’ve also got a roundup of cases for the Galaxy S23 series. Upgrade your WIRED subscription to unlimited access.

I have installed every case that has come into my office on either the Galaxy S24 or Galaxy S24 Ultra. First, I check that the speakers, ports, and microphone holes can be seen and are not blocked by the cases. Then, I test the buttons to make sure they are not stiff. I check the wireless charging to see if a case is causing any problems, and I measure the edges of the screen to make sure they are raised enough to prevent the display from touching the surface when the phone is flat.

As badly as I would like to, I do not perform drop tests. I don’t have a constant supply of Samsungs to test. I’ve found that even phones with cases are susceptible to cracking if they are dropped. It is therefore important to minimize the risk. For the best protection, pair your Galaxy S24 case with a screen protector.
