i-Blason for Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra Case with Stand, [2 Front Frames] [Built-in Screen Protector] [Belt Clip Holster], Military-Grade Shockproof Rugged Phone Case for Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, Black

I got this iBlason case in anticipation of a new S23, to finally replace my aged, wonderful S8 Active (I wouldn't need a case at all if Samsung kept the Active versions going). The packaging and instructions were good, but I had already seen video reviews that showed installation and recommend looking for those.I ordered a separate tempered glass screen protector, so I can't speak to the one included with the case. The case worked with the third party screen protector just fine.The case is great, plenty of protection. I was down to this case and a very similar competitors and the deciding factor that pushed me to this was the corner bump outs. Not for their protection, which they certainly achieve, but I figure they make it less likely to slip from your hand. The USB port cover and buttons are the only stress points, but I see no sign of them breaking. It feels chonky in the hand, which some may not like, but it's fine. Very satisfied with the case.One issue with it: the protection is so good that the haptic feedback is muffled. If it's on a table or in your hand you'll notice it, but I've had it in the clip on in a pocket and missed notifications.As for the clip, I think most people don't use it, but I wear my phone on my belt and needed an included clip or a separate case. The clip is surprisingly sturdy. It's plastic, so of course it could break, but I don't worry about the belt clip snapping off the rest of it, as some other plastic clips are prone to do. Like the case, it's sturdy. The belt clip is roomy, so on a thin 1.5" belt it can slide around, especially if running. It doesn't seem like it'll come off, but it does bang around on my hip. The worst part of the clip is that probably 90% of the time my shirt gets caught in it when re-holstering. Previously I had a leather holster with a flap, and the flap would block my shirt from getting caught in the case. It's the worst thing about the entire design, because if you pull the material caught in the holster, it can pop the phone out.Definitely a great case, it met all my expectations and more. Would buy again.

PROTECTION: I've found it's rather hard to find a good case for the 23+ (specifically, the plus model), but this case seems to meet my expectations. I wanted something which would protect the phone and also provide some additional conveniences. The case is rugged, no doubt. Some may call it bulky, but to me, it's fine b/c I've used to larger cases. The corners are extra protected. The phone itself without a case is ultra-slippery but with the case, this is no longer a concern even though it doesn't have a completely encapsulating rubberized outer shell (just the perimeter complete with rubberized flap which goes over the USB-C port on the bottom). All of the buttons line up perfectly.--FINGERPRINT SENSOR: Some reviewers have noted that the fingerprint sensor on the front glass does not work after the case is installed with the clear shield. To me, the shield is probably the most valuable feature and if I needed to give up the fingerprint sense for it, I would. For me though, the fingerprint sensor didn't ever work on the first try even without a case. The place for the fingerprint to be read on the case's clear shield does not align perfectly with the phone. In fact, its off-center vertically by quite a bit. I made sure I pressed the shield down on the phone (it seems impossible to remove all of the bubbles) and then reprogrammed my fingerprint and now the fingerprint sense actually works better than it did without the shield (even with the bubbles).--REAR CAMERA PROTECTION: While there is nothing that covers the rear cameras, they are IMO recessed enough that unless the phone is dropped onto something with a raised area which will go up inside the case's rear camera recession, the cameras should be adequately protected.--STAND: The case has a rear slide-out triangular stand. It is a bit difficult to get out having to use both thumbnails to get it to release. Once out, it seems maybe a bit thin, but rigid. Its only plastic and with use and subsequent wear, I suspect it will get looser (maybe too loose at some point). This is probably the only? downside to the case. See below about absence of belt clip stand.--BELT-CLIP HOLSTER: I've used various cases over the years and this one is the closest to an Otterbox, although it doesn't have a completely encapsulating rubberized outer shell like some Otterboxes (it does have rubber on the perimeter though). The case comes with a belt clip holster which I've used with Otterboxes, but have since stopped because these belt clips usually break over time. This one seems sturdy though. I may go back to using it no matter how "geeky" clipping a phone to a belt it may look. I wish, like the Otterboxes, the belt clip latched open making it into a stand as well, but it's not designed to have a locking mechanism. The clip spring is also very stiff. The lack of a locking mechanism for the belt-clip would be the only other downside I've identified so far.--OVERALL: Solid case for the price. Took a little while to arrive, but still arrived 2 days early.

I wanted to try an alternative to my Otter Box Defender due to Poor build quality & Breakage.I have had 3 of those break now.I am not hard on my phones @ all. This new case is Very nice & the most Ridgid one i've had yet. It has a nice feel & is easier to get in & out of my shirt pocket. Corners are extra reinforced, overall protection is very good. The negative is that the flip out stand on the back side is Very hard to open. I also think the charging port access plug is awkward bcuz it flips down funky. Otherwise would have bin a 5 star. I have this on an S23 Ultra, it fits Very snug & secure and all the functions work well & are easy to use with this cover on. This is the Best cover I have owned by far & i've had several. This cover is a Very Good value.
