UAG Pathfinder Magnetic Case for $55: I examined a bunch of different UAG circumstances, from the Monarch Professional and Civilian to the Plyo Professional, however I feel the Pathfinder has the very best aesthetic, particularly within the shiny yellow shade. The buttons are clicky, there is a magnet embedded within the center for Qi2 assist, and the perimeters across the display screen and cameras are raised pretty nicely.

It additionally has a built-in lanyard, comes with a magnet for Qi2 charging, and has clicky buttons. The plain black design is boring although, and the fabric is slippery. I additionally examined the BodyGuardz Ace Professional, however I discovered it exhausting to entry the S Pen stylus.

ESR HaloLock Basic Hybrid Case: Solely out there for the Galaxy S25+ and Galaxy S25 Extremely proper now, that is my second favourite clear case after the Dbrand suggestion above.

The buttons are responsive and it is easy to entry the S Pen stylus.

Mous Readability 3.0 Magnetic Case for $70: It is a stable clear case (out there for your entire S25 sequence), although it was already scuffed slightly after I unboxed it, which does not bode nicely for the way it will take care of months of use.

Latercase Skinny Case for $59: This is one other super-thin case for individuals who hate conventional cumbersome circumstances. It is created from aramid fibers and can hold your cellphone scratch-free (a minimum of, the again of it). There is no safety for the underside edge, the buttons, or the highest edge, so it is fairly minimal. I just like the delicate texture of the fabric although, and it seems fairly. There are sadly no magnets for Qi2 performance. The excellent news is that not like many skinny circumstances I’ve examined, this one could be very straightforward to take away.

Tech21 EvoArmor and EvoClear Magnetic Circumstances for $50: These are some stable, easy, and smart-looking magnetic circumstances with Qi2 performance. The perimeters across the display screen are raised to guard it, the buttons are responsive, and there is a spot to connect the lanyard.

Samsung Standing Grip Telephone Case for $55: I truly like the large grip on the again of this case. It slides properly and you may match a number of fingers by means of it. Nonetheless, the plastic sides of the case really feel slightly misplaced and make it really feel low cost. The perimeters across the display screen are additionally barely raised, so it does not really feel very protecting. Surprisingly, wi-fi charging works, although there are not any magnets right here, so you do not get Qi2 assist. The underside edge can also be weirdly not protected.

Samsung Silicone Case for $30 and Rugged Case for $60: Samsung’s official Silicone case does the job, however I am undecided what it does greater than the cheaper choices above. The identical goes for the Rugged Case, which is approach too costly for what you get, particularly contemplating there are not any magnets in both of those for Qi2 assist. They’re purposeful circumstances, simply too costly.

Then once more, I am additionally nitpicking.

Zagg Santa Cruz Snap Magnetic Case for $50: I examined a number of circumstances from Zagg, together with the Luxe, Milan, Denali, and Crystal Palace with Kickstand. They’re all OK. The buttons on all of those are barely stiffer than on the opposite circumstances I’ve examined—not horrible, however simply sufficient to note. Many of those haven’t got magnets in them however the Santa Cruz Snap does, and it labored nicely on my Qi2 and Qi charger. The perimeters are grippy, which is why I prefer it.

Benks ArmorAir Case for $40: This case is one other ultra-thin case, nevertheless it’s created from Kevlar fiber, although how a lot sturdiness that gives when it is this skinny is questionable. What bugs me is that the digicam module shifts ever so barely. It is a kind of issues that when you discover, you will not cease feeling and seeing it shift each time. Not less than it covers extra edges than the Latercase, and it additionally has magnets in-built for Qi2 assist.

Casetify Affect Magnet Circumstances for $64: You may get Casetify’s Affect circumstances in any fashion—with a mirror end, a transparent end, or a loopy design. These are stable magnetic circumstances with clicky buttons, decently raised edges, and a superb grip.

That should not be a lot of a difficulty should you use a Qi2 charger.
