Different Good Display Protectors

ESR Tempered Glass Display Protector (3 Pack) for $13: Three tempered glass display protectors for $13? That is shockingly low cost. I stored in search of a catch, however this ESR protector was visually much like most of the others I’ve examined and boasts most of the similar claims. It is extremely straightforward to put in—just like the Dbrand, you pull a tab when you place the telephone within the applicator software. This ensures good set up, and I had zero air bubbles. Sadly, it is solely obtainable for the Galaxy S25 Extremely, or I might have advisable it over the pricier Dbrand.

I additionally examined ESR’s Privateness Display Protector, however I did not prefer it: It noticeably affected the display high quality, making it dimmer total and displaying muted colours.
BodyGuardz Pure 3 Display Protector for $45 (Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+, Galaxy S25 Extremely): Kudos to BodyGuardz for being one of many solely corporations providing a cardboard set up software as an alternative of plastic. Critically, display protectors produce a lot plastic waste, however this one is minimal. Even the tempered-glass display protector is made out of 30 p.c recycled glass. It comes with the standard cleansing equipment, and the applying was tremendous straightforward. This one would not cowl the selfie digital camera however has a bit of hole for it, not like the ESR. Too unhealthy you solely get one.
Spigen GlasTR EZ Match Display Protector (2 Pack) for $19: Spigen’s tempered glass display protectors are simply as straightforward to put in because the others on this listing, and include the standard cleansing instruments for prepping your machine. I did have a number of air bubbles after set up, however all of them disappeared minutes later. You get two on this pack.
Zagg Glass Elite Digital camera Lens Protector for $25: I attempted three digital camera lens protectors—from ESR, BodyGuardz, and Zagg—and the applying course of for every was nearly an identical. The benefit of the Zagg variant is that it is obtainable for all three Samsung telephones, although the ESR protector is most economical. Nevertheless, it’s worthwhile to watch out when pairing this with a case. These lens protectors are including a cumbersome cowl to your lens, and that may make it powerful for the telephone to suit sure instances. If the telephone case has an open digital camera design, you then will not have points.
Extra Circumstances to Contemplate
UAG Pathfinder Magnetic Case for $55: I examined a bunch of different UAG instances, from the Monarch Professional and Civilian to the Plyo Professional, however I feel the Pathfinder has the very best aesthetic, particularly within the brilliant yellow colour. The buttons are clicky, there is a magnet embedded within the center for Qi2 help, and the perimeters across the display and cameras are raised pretty effectively. The case is a bit slippery, however that is my solely criticism in the event you just like the loud design.

I’ve examined this case earlier than for the iPhone and did not actually discover a distinction, however what I really like this case for is the directional backside speaker—it makes the bottom-firing audio system of the Galaxy S25 Extremely shoot upward to your face when holding the telephone, which is definitely very nice when gaming in panorama orientation as a result of my grip usually blocks the telephone’s audio system. 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 arduous to entry the S Pen stylus.
OtterBox Symmetry Extremely-Slim Clear Magnetic Case for $28: A easy clear case with magnets, it is arduous to not like this Symmetry case from OtterBox. Buttons are responsive, there are lanyard loops within the corners, and the value is affordable. I have already got a number of scuffs on the case that aren’t coming off, although, which is not a superb signal for longevity.
Pitaka PinButton Galaxy S25 Extremely Magnetic Case for $70: This is a nifty case that tries to do one thing totally different. Pitaka’s PinButton is a slim case with clicky buttons, correct port cutouts, and a pleasant textured really feel. It additionally provides three additional buttons to your Samsung telephone. These are configurable buttons, they usually work by a mix of NFC and Samsung’s Routines. Whenever you take it out of the field, you possibly can faucet your telephone to the again of the case to get directions on learn how to arrange the buttons, they usually’re pretty simple. I arrange the buttons to set off Do Not Disturb mode, and one other to show it off. You could be much more artistic, although. I’ve seen the buttons can generally take a number of presses to work, however this might simply be a delay with NFC.
ESR HaloLock Basic Hybrid Case for $20: Solely obtainable 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: This can be a stable clear case (obtainable for the whole S25 collection), although it was already scuffed a bit of once I unboxed it, which does not bode effectively for the way it will take care of months of use. Particularly contemplating how a lot the case prices. It does have magnets for Qi2 charging and is an in any other case completely superb case.

Mous Tremendous Skinny 2.0 Magnetic Case for $55: If you happen to hate cumbersome instances, I like to recommend Mous’ Tremendous Skinny 2.0 case. Skinny polycarbonate instances like this aren’t defending your telephone from critical drops, however they’re going to care for on a regular basis scratches and scuffs simply superb. Mous’ model has a slick design, and the perimeters across the show and cameras are ever-so-slightly raised. It has built-in magnets and labored effectively on my Qi2 charger in addition to my primary Qi charging stand. The buttons are responsive, and it is easy to succeed in for the S Pen stylus on the Galaxy S25 Extremely.
Tech21 EvoArmor and EvoClear Magnetic Circumstances for $50: These are some stable, easy, and smart-looking magnetic instances with Qi2 performance. The perimeters across the display are raised to guard it, the buttons are responsive, and there is a spot to connect the lanyard. The Evolite is a stable clear case if that is what you are in search of, although I favor the Dbrand and ESR to it. I additionally examined the EvoLite case, which could be very primary and would not have magnets if you need one thing easy. however it’s kind of slippery.
Samsung Standing Grip Cellphone Case for $37: I like the large grip on the again of this case. It slides properly and you may match a number of fingers by it. Nevertheless, the plastic sides of the case really feel a bit of misplaced and make it really feel low cost. The perimeters across the display are additionally barely raised, so it would not really feel very protecting. Surprisingly, wi-fi charging works, although there are not any magnets right here, so you do not get Qi2 help. The underside edge can 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 unsure what it does greater than the cheaper choices above. The identical goes for the Rugged Case, which is manner too costly for what you get, particularly contemplating there are not any magnets in both of those for Qi2 help. They’re useful instances, simply too costly.
Speck Presidio Excellent-Clear and Presidio2 Grip Magnetic Circumstances for $50: These instances examine off all of the bins by way of performance, they usually’re a bit of extra attention-grabbing to have a look at. In addition they have magnets for Qi2 help.

Latercase Skinny Case for $59: This is one other super-thin case for individuals who hate conventional cumbersome instances. It is made out of aramid fibers and can hold your telephone scratch-free (at the least, the again of it). There is not any 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 instances I’ve examined, this one could be very straightforward to take away.
Zagg Santa Cruz Snap Magnetic Case for $50: I examined a number of instances 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 instances I’ve examined—not horrible, however simply sufficient to note. Many of those do not have magnets in them, however the Santa Cruz Snap does, and it labored effectively 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, but it surely’s made out of Kevlar fiber, although how a lot sturdiness that gives when it is this skinny is questionable. What bugs me is that the digital camera module shifts ever so barely. It is a kind of issues that after 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 inbuilt for Qi2 help.
Casetify Impression Magnet Circumstances for $74: You will get Casetify’s Impression instances in any model—with a mirror end, a transparent end, or a loopy design. These are stable magnetic instances with clicky buttons, decently raised edges, and a superb grip. The ring across the digital camera module is a bit thick although and disrupted charging on my Qi charger occasionally, however not constantly.

UAG Plasma XTE Kickstand Case for $70 (Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+, and Galaxy S25 Extremely): The Plasma XTE is a pleasant kickstand case. UAG’s instances are type of like G-Shock watches—they’re huge and daring, however engaging in their very own manner. They are not designed for minimalists, however I’ve come to benefit from the aesthetic. The kickstand can hold the telephone propped up in each panorama and portrait orientation, and it has magnets constructed into it—it recharged on my Qi2 charger with out fail. Nevertheless, it didn’t work on my Qi charger, so hold that in thoughts if you have not upgraded your wi-fi charger but. It in any other case checks off all of the bins with raised edges across the show and cameras, responsive buttons, and an simply accessible S Pen cutout on the S25 Extremely mannequin.
OtterBox Symmetry Cactus Leather-based Case for $60: This can be a handsome leather-like case, besides it is fabricated from cactus leather-based by an organization known as Desserto. Whereas that may sound extra sustainable than actual leather-based, there’s nonetheless a whole lot of polyurethane in these instances. This is not the sustainable case you have been in search of. Nonetheless, it provides stable safety and responsive buttons whereas mimicking the leather-based aesthetic. There are not any magnets, so which means no Qi2 help. I additionally examined the Symmetry Delicate Contact, one other non-magnetic case. It is OK, simply not good worth.
Rokform Rugged Case for $70: I’d solely suggest this case to anybody who actually desires the strongest magnets. This cumbersome case is protecting, however within the center across the magnetic ring sits a bit of detachable puck. By default, this puck is magnetic and will increase the magnet power so that you’ve got a safer connection. Nevertheless, this magnetic puck additionally disables all wi-fi charging. Whenever you wish to wirelessly cost, it’s a must to exchange the puck with the included non-magnetic puck, after which Qi2 charging will work. It did not work on a primary Qi charger in any respect. It’s extremely protecting with edges raised effectively above the show, and the buttons are clicky, however it’s kind of a lot.
Spigen Powerful Armor MagFit for $19: I’ve examined this case for varied telephones through the years and I nonetheless cannot imagine how flimsy the kickstand is. It continues to solely work in panorama mode, that means you possibly can’t prop your telephone as much as watch TikTok movies. It is an in any other case satisfactory case that is inexpensive, however actually, it is time to make a change.
Keep away from These Circumstances and Equipment
-Samsung-Galaxy-S25-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Julian-Chokkattu.jpg)
Zagg Fusion Privateness Anti-Glare Display Protector: You are speculated to peel one aspect of the display protector earlier than putting in it, however this aspect was caught to the protector so it took some effort. This ended up ruining the opposite aspect a bit, inflicting a number of air bubbles once I lastly was in a position to set up it. Worse but, this privateness protector performs poorly. Sure, you possibly can’t see what’s on the display from the aspect, and the matte display reduces glare, but it surely additionally vastly impacts the display’s picture high quality, with muted colours and low decision.
Zagg XTR4 and Fusion XTR4 Display Protectors: Zagg claims these are graphene-fortified for higher safety, and that is likely to be true, however when you may get display protectors for as little as $13, it is arduous to make a case for a $60 one. The appliance software is not as hassle-free as cheaper fashions I’ve examined, and Zagg solely contains one protector. It may save your telephone from a crack, however I will take my probabilities with the protectors we suggest above.
OtterBox Premium Glass Display Protector: You solely get one tempered glass protector right here, which is not nice worth for cash. However that is not why I did not prefer it as a lot as our different suggestions. You need to affix the display protector to the highest of the set up software earlier than you start, but it surely wasn’t staying in place, and the tiny little bit of fidgeting to get it connected was sufficient to introduce some mud on the display, which naturally I didn’t see till after I completed putting in the display protector. The appliance itself was exact and I had no air bubbles, however there are many different easy-to-apply display protectors that do not price this a lot.
Casetify Impression Stand Ring Case: This case doesn’t work with the Qi wi-fi charger as a result of the module across the digital camera is simply too thick. This module is a secret kickstand, however one new function should not cancel out the opposite.
