The best Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus cases are here and ready to keep your new Galaxy S25 Plus safe from harm. And there's plenty to protect on this new 6.7-inch phone from Samsung.
Besides the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset powering the phone, there's the usual three rear cameras and a big, colorful display that figures to be much brighter than before if it matches the testing we did for our Galaxy S25 review. And the phone supports a new array of Galaxy AI features that makes your Samsung device smarter than before.
While the S25 Plus is already touting some decent rugged features — including a lightweight aluminum frame, a Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 display, and an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance — you're still going to want to buy a quality case for complete protection against the elements. For example, my top Galaxy S25 Plus case pick, the Casetify Ultra Bounce Case, promises to keep your S25 Plus protected from drops upward of 30 feet; you can even attach it to a lanyard for extra peace of mind.
Picking the perfect smartphone case can be complicated, but not to worry! I've narrowed down the best Samsung Galaxy S25 cases you can get right now, no matter where life takes you.

+ Tested for 32.8 feet of drop protection

The Casetify Ultra Bounce Case offers something for everyone, leading off with comprehensive drop protection for up to 32.8 feet. That beats the MIL-STD-810G standard by a wide margin. Casetify also uses discarded phone cases to create raw material (ie, Re/Casetify Pellets) for new cases, recycling more than 1.9 million phone cases since 2020. What made this case bounce to the top of my shortlist? Customization. There are already hundreds of uber-artsy designs to choose from on the Casetify website, but you can opt to upload your own photos instead.
Best alternative
Colors: 30+ styles
Materials: Thermoplastic polyurethane
Weight: TBA
Wireless charging: Yes
+ 2mm thin
+ Military-grade drop protection

While the Dbrand Grip Case has evolved for new Galaxy models over the year, the original approach remains. Microscopic ridges along the textured sides — coupled with unique “grip strips” — keep your phone firmly in hand, no matter how turbulent the terrain you trek. Chamfered edges along the front facilitate unfettered finger swipes on the S25 Plus' gorgeous 6.7-inch display, and raised edges around the rear camera lenses keep those outer optics scratch-free. The Dbrand Grip Case strikes a good balance between fashion, function, and barely-there durability. I appreciate the plethora of patterns to choose from.
Best premium case
Colors: Kevlar Black
Materials: DuPont Kevlar, polycarbonate, rubber
Weight: 2.1 ounces
Wireless charging: Yes
+ Fortified with Kevlar

Costing around 10% of the total cost of the Galaxy S25 Plus all by itself, UAG's Monarch Pro Kevlar case isn't for the budget-minded shopper, but you can't do much better if you want a case that can take a beating. A DuPont Kevlar inlay fortifies the case's frame, while a shock-resistant core, polycarbonate shear plate and impact-resistant rubber rim round out the ultra-rugged feature set. You also get an anti-slip perimeter, oversized tactile buttons, and lanyard anchor points for keeping your case attached. What the Monarch Pro lacks in customization, it more than makes up for with best-in-class durability and drop protection.

I’ve been a big fan of the Otterbox brand for a solid decade or so, and they keep churning out consistently good phone cases. The DefenderPro series delivers three layers of protection (including a no-slip silicone cover) to protect your S25 Plus from crash, while port covers keep dust and dirt at bay. The redesigned corners are easier to take in and out of your pockets, and raised bezels keep those camera lenses in pristine condition. The Otterbox Defender Pro case is available in a few different colors, and it’s backed by a lifetime warranty.

The slim-yet-mighty Tough case features a silicone interior and hardshell exterior with raised bezels around the camera lenses, and a glossy, scratch-resistant finish that won’t slip out of your hand. If you want to make a fashion statement with your Galaxy S25 Plus, the Burga Tough case gives you that chance without adding much bulk.

If you’re always using your phone in speaker mode, consider the Rokform Rugged Case, which houses three MagSafe-compatible N52 Neodymium magnets in the back to offer a longer hold on metal surfaces. Rokform sells a few other nifty accessories to complement this case, including a sport ring and swivel dash mount, and a twist-lock system lets you attach and remove your phone from Rokform’s car, phone, or bike mounts with a quick twist. As the name suggests, the Rokform Rugged Case is built to take some abuse, and it’s tested to withstand drops up to 6 feet high.

If proper hygiene is always top-of-mind in your life, check out the Speck Presidio 2 Grip Magnet, which includes an antimicrobial treatment to keep pesky germs at arm’s length. Raised bezels protect the screen and camera lenses, while the outer edges are cushioned by Speck’s Armor Cloud technology, which acts like a miniature airbag for your phone. The case’s silky soft-touch finish is paired with no slip inverted grips to keep your phone safely in hand. You also get a lifetime warranty backing up this Galaxy S25 Plus case.

Living the aquatic life? The Ghostek Nautical Slim case does double-duty as an S25 Plus case with swim trunks, and it’s tested for 1.5 hours of submersion in water up to 6 feet deep. When you’re out of the ocean with slippery hands, never fear: the Nautical Slim can also handle drops and falls from 12 feet. The watertight design includes port covers and a built-in screen protector, along with shock-absorbing corners and a rubberized grip. The built-in magnets support MagSafe accessories, too.

When you watch videos on the Galaxy S25 Plus' 6.7-inch display, a kickstand case will help. This Torras offering features a handy 3-in-1 ring that can be rotated for vertical or horizontal viewing. The case includes military-grade drop protection (up to 12 feet) and extra-powerful Mag-Safe-compatible 18N magnets built into the back. The ring on the Torras 360°Spin Magnetic Stand is tested for 30,000 uses, adding a measure of durability to case itself.

Pela cases are free of phthalates, BPA, cadmium and lead; they’re also verified to meet child safety standards in the US, Canada, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. The end result: a smaller carbon footprint than traditional polycarbonate cases. The 300- plus design options give your eco-friendly case some flair, even it if's not the cheapest option.

If you like to consolidate your wallet, keys and Galaxy S25 Plus, take a gander at the BlackBrook Case Carter Wallet Case, which is decked out in premium full-grain leather. The detachable 2-in-1 design lets you separate a 4-slot wallet from the phone case, which can be folded into a nifty kickstand. You'll definitely pay a premium, but this case comes with a one-year warranty.

Available in five different colors, this case comes with military-grade drop protection, raised edges around the screen and camera lenses, and a minimalist design. It's a great value, though you will lose some customization options.
What to look for in the best Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus cases
When shopping for the best Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus case to fit your lifestyle and budget, make sure you’re looking at the right phone case model — especially since there are two other phones in the Galaxy S25 Series.
Case in point: the 6.2-inch Galaxy S25 and 6.7-inch Galaxy S25 Plus both look remarkably similar to each other, save for the differences in size. Meanwhile, there's also a 6.9-inch Galaxy S25 Ultra that offers the same look in a super-sized form.And that's before we get into the similarities between the S25 Plus and predecessors like the Galaxy S24 Plus or Galaxy S23 Plus. Whatever you do, make sure the case you're considering is specifically built for the Galaxy S25 Plus. (If you've to a standard model, we've got a look at the best Samsung Galaxy S25 cases elsewhere.)
Samsung Galaxy phones have always been premium products, and compatible cases for Samsung’s larger models tend to follow suit. That said, you’ll find a few budget-friendly Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus cases for less than $50, and plenty more on sale throughout the year.
Here are a few other factors to keep in mind on your quest for the best Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus case.
- Build materials and drop protection: Whether the case is made out of silicone, rubber, polycarbonate, thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), graphene, aramid fiber, or a combination of these shock-absorbing materials, look for a good drop rating to keep your Galaxy S25 Plus protected from the occasional spill. Some smartphone cases are only meant to withstand drops of a few feet high, while more hardcore competitors have a MIL-STD-810G-tested rating of 10 feet or more. Multiple materials (and layers) generally offer the best drop protection, but the toughest cases we’ve found are reinforced with graphene or aramid fiber.
- Color/design options: Phone cases are an inherently mundane mobile tech accessory, but a variety of fashion-forward brands include textured designs, artsy skins, customizable shells, and built-in keychain attachments to keep things interesting. Your phone is part of your identity these days, so why not choose a case that identifies with your own unique personality?
- Environmental impact: As smartphone manufacturers continue emphasizing the sustainability angle of their devices, case makers are falling in line. Look for Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus cases driven by various green initiatives that use recycled plastics and other bio-friendly materials.
- Extra features: The primary purpose of any quality case is to protect the gadget inside it, but our favorite models include such premium features as lanyard or kickstand attachments; built-in port covers; hidden pockets; built-in magnets (for wireless charging), and other bundled accessories.
There's something noteworthy about this year's Galaxy S25 lineup, including the Galaxy S25 Plus. Samsung's phones now support Qi2 wireless charging, but lack the on-device magnets that make the most of this feature. Buy a MagSafe-compatible case and you'll be able to better charge wirelessly like I do.
How we pick the best Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus cases
We base our initial rankings on word-of-mouth and customer reviews, paired with our own comprehensive research into new phone cases that come out every time a phone manufacturer releases a new model. In some instances, we may call in cases for additional hands-on testing, and we revisit our picks to see if any new cases have come along.
When evaluating each phone case, we consider overall protection, quality of build materials, available colors and designs and any extra features that make each model stand out. We weigh all that info against how much each phone case costs. Because phone cases are such a personal choice, we also strive to include a variety of styles and brands to fit different tastes and budgets.
