Samsung - Galaxy S26 Ultra Slim Magnet Case - Light Violet

I love this phone case its slim not bulky and the color looks perfect on the new purple phone, love that it has magsafe for a matching popsocket

The design is simple but very nice, besides that it keeps the structure of the phone thin but at the same time it is somewhat delicate, avoiding falls.

A 3rd party case on Amazon would probably be a better option. I've had this case for a few months and it's already broken. The plastic around the s pen slot is very thin and will crack very easily. The bump around the camera does nothing to protect it. The bottom notch around the charging port and speaker feels very sharp and is very uncomfortable after a while of holding the phone. A $12 case on Amazon would probably be a significantly better option.

I upgraded to the Samsung S26 Ultra from an S23 Ultra and frankly, based on my usage, I do not see a huge difference in functionality or performance. Luckily, I pre-ordered and was able to take advantage of a $200 Best Buy discount and financed via Verizon, who was offering $1300 trade-in for the S23 Ultra that I was able to get it for free basically. I'm sure there are performance improvements, but in my eyes, they are negligible to the everyday eye. The camera is a bit better on paper - but I also find that there are nuances (close-up focus, etc.) that are a bit annoying compared to the S23 Ultra. I will say that as of now, the battery seems to be better and lasts longer even with higher performance settings running. In terms of functionality, the features are consistent with my S23 Ultra based on my use. The add-on functionality for the privacy screen is a positive - but I question how effective it really is. The screen is still quite viewable from an angle - so, is it worth it? Not sure - but it's a nice add, I guess. I'm sure someone who has more advanced use than I do may find certain features better on the edge cases, but for me, I don't' really see much of a difference. For me the biggest detractor is the thickness of the camera bezel. The phone does not lay flat - even with Samsung's case - and wobbles like crazy if trying to use it flat on a surface. I spent ~$60 for a case that I don't use now because I switched to a leather case (that i spent another ~$60) on that softens to wobble and flattens it somewhat - but it's still there. I'm now used to it - but seems like a design flaw. So in summary, is it a good phone? Yep! I am a fan of Samsung phones overall - but is it worth the upgrade if you have a more recent version? Probably not unless one of the small improvements catches your eye.

[Employee of bestbuy] I enjoy this case, it's perfect for a minimalist. All buttons are responsive, S pen is easily accessible. This case is for someone who doesn't actually want a case but wants the magnet for mounting and the wireless fast charging. If you're a minimalist like me then you'll appreciate this case.
