The Best Samsung Galaxy S10+ Cases

How do you hold a galaxy in your hand? Carefully if it's the Samsung Galaxy S10+.

The phone comes in either aluminum under a glass back (for the base model) or with a ceramic back (for the 512GB and 1TB models ). Despite the "plus" size, there's a delicate beauty that you want to protect. Especially when $999.99 is the absolute least you will pay for one. We've found an array of cases that go from pretty to rugged to pretty and rugged.

Case-Mate Karat

The luxe look of mother of pearl can cover your Samsung Galaxy S10+ if you get this Case-Mate Karat.

Griffin Survivor Strong

This clear but impact-resistant case from Griffin meets the definition of the strong but silent type.

Incipio Aerolite

The Incipio Aerolite is super light and super strong. It helps your Samsung Galaxy S10+ weather falls of up to 11 feet.

Speck Presidio Clear + Glitter

Into every life a little glitter should fall. That's the point of view of this Speck case anyway. It comes in clear or pink, each spiked with sparkle, and has 8-foot drop protection.

LifeProof Next

If you want your Galaxy S10+ to accompany you on drives, rides, and runs, go with the LifeProof Next that doesn't just provide protection but works with accessories for all of the above.

Case-Mate Tough

Sleek but sturdy, the Case-Mate Tough lets you wirelessly charge your Galaxy S10+ through the case.

OtterBox Defender

If you're out there defending the world, this OtterBox case comes with a holster so your Galaxy S10+ can stay at your side the whole time.

OtterBox Pursuit

The OtterBox Pursuit covers all the angles (and ports and everything else you could want) perfectly.

Speck Presidio Grip

Get a Speck Presidio Grip and never worry about things getting out of hand with your Samsung Galaxy S10+ again.

About Our Expert

Chandra Steele

Senior Features Writer

My Experience

My title is Senior Features Writer, which is a license to write about absolutely anything if I can connect it to technology (I can). I’ve been at PCMag since 2011 and have covered the surveillance state, vaccination cards, ghost guns, voting, ISIS, art, fashion, film, design, gender bias, and more. You might have seen me on TV talking about these topics or heard me on your commute home on the radio or a podcast. Or maybe you’ve just seen my Bernie meme.

I strive to explain topics that you might come across in the news but not fully understand, such as NFTs and meme stocks. I’ve had the pleasure of talking tech with Jeff Goldblum, Ang Lee, and other celebrities who have brought a different perspective to it. I put great care into writing gift guides and am always touched by the notes I get from people who’ve used them to choose presents that have been well-received. Though I love that I get to write about the tech industry every day, it’s touched by gender, racial, and socioeconomic inequality and I try to bring these topics to light.

Outside of PCMag, I write fiction, poetry, humor, and essays on culture.

My Areas of Expertise

Making incomprehensible tech news easy to understand
Expanding the boundaries of topics covered in the industry
Figuring out tips and tricks in apps and on devices and letting you know about them
Putting together gift guides for everyone in your life

The Technology I Use

All that gadgets is gold for me: my iPhone 11 Pro, my fifth-generation iPad that I use only for streaming videos and music, my iPad mini 4 that I like to take with me whenever I carry a bag that can fit it, and my MacBook Pro. Why are they all different shades of gold, though? What’s going on, Apple?

None of them quite live up to my two past loves: my LG Lotus LX600 phone and my Sony Walkman NW-E005 MP3 player.

I've never given up wired earbuds so I was ahead of all those trend pieces. I use a Mangotek Lightning-to-3.5mm headphone jack adapter to connect them to my phone.

I have had so many ebook readers, but I prefer paper to them all. Still, my Kindle Paperwhite is perfect for traveling or when I’m too impatient to wait for a book to be released in paperback.
