UAG Rugged Lightweight Slim Case
- Light but sturdy
- Tactile non-slip grip
- Supports wireless charging
- Back does not sit flat on surfaces
If you seek the ultimate protection with a feather-light case, have a look at UAG's Rugged Lightweight Slim Case. The handcrafted smartphone cover features a featherweight construction with five protective layers of the company's armor frame. It has a shock-resistant core layered with top-grain leather, a polycarbonate shear plate, metal hardware, and is surrounded with impact-resistant rubber. It's been drop-tested to 20 feet (6 meters) and conforms to military specification standards. The soft core is accompanied by a honeycomb traction grip in which a raised screen bezel protects both the glass and camera lens. Large, responsive tactile buttons have a secure, clicky feel for improved functionality. The case is compatible with wireless charging and most third-party wireless chargers.
Otterbox Commuter Series Case
- Slim profile
- Antimicrobial protective properties
- Military standard drop protection
- Exterior feels slippery
Otterbox is known for its ultra-durable cases, but this one has a slim profile, making it ideal to slip into a pocket. The Commuter Series Case is constructed from a hard polycarbonate shell with a synthetic rubber slipcover and soft inner to deflect impact. Made from 35% recycled plastic, a silver-based antimicrobial additive is cleverly woven into the case to provide continued protection against common bacteria over time. This case is tested to survive up to three times as many drops as the military standard, and it’s wireless charging compatible, too. Pick it up in Rock Skip Way (two-tone blue, pictured), Maven Way (two-tone pink), or classic black.
Crave Slim Guard Case
- Slim but rugged
- Lightweight
- Inexpensive
- Buttons reported stiff to push
Rugged protection doesn’t have to mean a chunky case. Crave’s Slim Guard case offers heavy-duty protection in a slim, lightweight, hard-shell case that’s scratch- and shock-resistant. Its compact profile means it’s ideal to slip into a bag or pocket, and you get 9 feet of drop protection built-in. With precise port cutouts and a raised bezel around the camera, this case is a bargain at under $20. Pick it up in Forest Green (pictured), aqua, lilac, navy, or black.
Spigen Ultra Hybrid Case
- Clear body shows off the phone's finish
- Meets military drop test standards
- Inexpensive
- Feels slippery in the hand
- Durability issues reported
Show off your Galaxy S22 Plus in Spigen’s Hybrid case. You can pick this case up in crystal clear, clear with matte black bumpers, or frosted (semi-transparent) black. The durable polycarbonate back and TPU bumper keep your phone safe from impact, and the case meets military drop test standards thanks to Air Cushion Technology to absorb shock. Raised bezels around the camera and screen and a grippy finish round out the protection for under $20.
Ghostek Atomic Slim Case
- Slim case
- Drop-resistant up to 12 feet
- Stylish
- Expensive
Ghostek’s stylishly futuristic cases never disappoint, and we’re pleased to report that it has extended its popular Atomic Slim series to the Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus. This means that Samsung fans have the chance to benefit from a combination of flexible TPU, hard PC, and aluminum bumpers. This combination of materials makes the case impressively resilient, with it capable of withstanding drops from up to 12 feet. It has been tested to military standards and includes R7X shock-absorbing corners for added protection, as well as a non-slip grip around its sides. Needless to say, it also looks great, with the red trim and transparent back sure to turn a few heads.
Samsung Leather Cover Black Case
- Supports wireless charging
- Luxurious leather exterior
- Perfect fit for its own branded phone
- Not as rugged as some other covers
If you already have a Samsung phone, you may as well complement it with an official Samsung case. This particular number is made primarily with leather, which is completed by an inner TPU skeleton. It looks very smooth and will certainly accentuate the S22 Plus’ good looks. Of course, while it won’t be quite as rugged as some covers, the dual-layer construction means that it will cope with pretty much all everyday mishaps and shocks. It will also support wireless charging, and, as you may be unsurprised to learn from an official case, it very snugly fits all of the phone’s buttons and ports.
Olixar Ultra-Thin 100% Clear Case
- Transparent clear case shows off phone's finish
- Easy to install and remove
- Raised bezels and edges add protection
- Not as rugged as some other covers
Olixar produces cases that punch well above their respective weights in terms of price, with this ultra-thin 100% clear case being a prime example. As its name suggests, it’s fully transparent, with its silicone gel material being treated with an anti-yellowing coating to prevent it from tarnishing over time. Because it’s completely clear, you’ll get to show off the S22 Plus’ elegant design, yet despite its thinness, it also performs well as far as protection goes. It includes raised bezels and edges that protect the phone’s screen and lenses from localized damage. Meanwhile, the use of flexible silicone means that it can roll with the punches a little better than some more inflexible and rigid alternatives.
Poetic Neon Series Case
- Military standard drop tested
- Grippy textured patterned exterior
- Supports wireless charging
- Too bulky for some hands
Here’s a military-standard drop-tested Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus case from Poetic. As a case designed to be as battle-hardened as possible, it features an impact-absorbing inner TPU layer and harder PC corners. Together, both materials give the case the ability to handle all sorts of falls and accidents, as do the raised lips around the screen and camera. Its rear has been given a textured pattern that prevents slippages from your hand and from surfaces, so the chances of it falling are comparatively slim. It's also compatible with wireless charging.
Ringke Fusion X Tough Camo Black Case
- Certified military standard drop protection
- Slim case
- Raised bezels protect display and camera
- Doesn't work well with some screen protectors
As with other rugged phone cases, Ringke marries TPU and PC, so you get flexibility and durability in a single package. With the addition of raised bezels, this case will survive trauma with the best of them. Importantly, it has received MIL-STD 810G – 516.6 certification for drop protection, so you can be sure that its camo design isn’t simply for show. What’s more, despite being tough, it remains relatively slim and easy to handle, so it won’t add unnecessary bulk to your pockets or bags.
Anccer Case with Screen Protector
- Includes a tempered glass screen protector
- Supports wireless charging
- Strong but flexible hard-shell exterior
- May feel a bit thick for some hands
For those of us who prefer to have a screen protector and a case for our phones, this combo from Anccer should do nicely. Its basic proposition is a PC-built case that features faux leather on its reverse, with a mix of hard plastic and rubberized edges providing users with strength and flexibility. On top of this, it adds a screen protector made from tempered glass, as well as a protector for the S22 Plus’ lenses. Using both of these will ensure that your phone has all-around protection from life’s surprises. If that wasn’t enough, compatibility with wireless charging makes this a good all-rounder, and at a reasonable price.
