The best Samsung Galaxy S24 cases

What to look for in the best Samsung Galaxy S24 cases

Before you buy your new Galaxy S24 case, make sure that you’ve selected one that fits your phone. The Galaxy S24 Plus and the Galaxy S24 Ultra are both larger than the Galaxy S24, and the Ultra has square corners rather than rounded edges. Cases made for those models won’t fit your standard S24.

If you've got a larger Galaxy S24 model, you can review our best Galaxy S24 Plus cases and our best Galaxy S24 Ultra cases to find a more appropriate option for your phone.

And since the Galaxy S24 came out, Samsung has released the Galaxy S25 family. Even though the Galaxy S25 shares a screen size with the S24, the best Galaxy S25 cases won't fit your older phone either.

Aside from the fit, here are a few other considerations that make the best Galaxy S24 cases:

  • Profile: If you’re a minimalist who carries their phone in a pocket, consider thin, low-profile cases over more rugged options. Just know that you may sacrifice some protection.
  • Drop protection: Most phone drops occur from about 4 feet, so if you’re especially prone to letting your phone out of your grip, look for cases that promise drop protection of 4 feet or more.
  • Price: Our picks include Galaxy S24 cases at a range of prices, from $20 for those on a budget to $75 for those willing to spend. There are cheaper (and more expensive) options out there, but we’ve included a representative range of what’s available.
  • Features: The most basic cases protect your Galaxy S24 from dings and scratches, but if you have more niche uses for your phone, you may want to consider models that have kickstands or MagSafe accessory compatibility.
  • Aesthetics: Your case can add style and character to your Galaxy S24, and there are options for those who prefer a low-profile, neutral option as well as for those who want a pattern or design that stands out.
