As a couple have mentioned, the MagSafe stuff can make your S Pen less responsive while attached. I learned this after the video, but thought it was worth noting here.
Even the tiniest little magnetic clip/closure on my folio style wallet case is enough to cause malfunction. So annoying 🤣 can't imagine how rough it is with the legit mag cases
Thanks. I'm looking into Magsafe accessories and their S pen compatibility. Also if like to ask you about Dex a little more in depth. The charging cable that comes with the S23 ultra, or any other Samsung with Dex is not for delivering data right? I want to go with a portable monitor but the cable thing has me confused 😕🤔.
Not even the cheap ones unfortunately as I have found with my S22. There was a broad unwriteable semi circle around the catch so I dug out the magnets and all is well apart from a sad looking bur workable case which stays shut in the pocket so will do. Hey ho we live and learn but usually too late.
I just watched 1 min and this guy make me make a good decision of my device ,I trust a good confidence,that why we got a nice guy like him to protect our devices
That's hilarious... Of all the cases I researched... The 1st case you show is the one I decided to go with even before watching your video. Great minds think alike!
The problem with most of the telescopic gamepads is most of them won't hold the phone very well if you have a case on the phone, and I will not go without a case on my phones.
I don't know why nobody seems to mention them but the zagg/Gear4 crystal palace cases are fantastic. They've got d30 in all the usual drop points and I've used them for nearly 10 years with no breakages. They are a bit steep at £30 but the quality is spot on. It doesn't squeeze the living daylights out of your phone like the spigen ones I've tried
@blakeolson2036 My apologies I missed the notification. The video is about the best cases afterall. I can't see a reason other than person preference not to include a superior case.
are all of their edges raised ? not the useless only top and bottom raised edges design ? for some reason I see no one caring about all raised edges... but it matters ! the only one I saw with full raised edges was magbak but I don't want the "magsafe" feature ... so am looking for an alternative
I like the I like the Spigen Ultra Hybrid S. I usually would get the Samsung Clear Case with Kickstand but they didn't make one this yeae...just one with a "ring" that can act like a stand but you can't wirelessly charge on their most recent wireless chargers. So thanks for showing it...I think I'm going to get one via your link. And yeah, getting the S23 Ultra in and out of a case has been rough.
Love the padding on caseborne cases just wish their camera cutouts weren't so wide open but used this case on my s22u now have my s23u in the iblason armorbox and Def love this case too
A rubbery case is essential for these larger smartphones, optionally with a slider to cover/uncover the back cameras. One accessory often overlooked is a magnetic USB-C adaptor for the smartphone to eliminate constant wear and tear if you plug and unplug your smartphone on a regular basis. Leave the adaptor plugged into the USB-C port; it is only 1-2 mm thick.
I honestly don't think so but let me check Edit: so, it's not the additional length that's the problem, it's the thickness. Both grips I showed here felt like the phone was going to pop out it any second. It just couldn't sit down low enough in it.
@@scaryifliteral thanks, yes thought that maybe the case ( sorry about the pun ) it only just fits in my gimbal. Wish they weren't so fragile as having a case is a pain but not broke one yet due to the tough armour so just have to work around it
i got the spigen ultra hybrid s as well. Its AMAZING and the kickstand is super sturdy! I can't reallly say it's the best protection? I feel like the phone would fall out if i drop it high enough but its a solid case for the price
Heads up with that Aramid case. I had the Pitaka brand same style case for s20 ultra...and just from coming out the seat of my car out of pocket...it still cracked the screen. So it is unfortunate because of how nice it feels and looks but that's because it is thin, and that is its downfall as well 😭
Ok, I'll take my Z Fold in that case and you take yours with no case and we'll both hit it in the back with stuff and see which one scuffs, cracks or scratches first. Deal?
I buy oryginal samsung case for z fold and z flip and no samsung cases newer again, pitaka cases are best for my opinion, wery slim nice grip best for me
For cases Poetic Guardian... Spectacular no kickstand. Poetic Guardian spectacular with kickstand. No personal experience yet Poetic Neon also good. A case with a clip (quad lok/mous) or magsafe built in would be the only thing better in different ways and I went with cheap and much more protection. The mous drop test is hysterical... Land on the front unless surface is glass smooth and your screen is shattered The spigen i thought were great until I dropped a phone lightly (no force) for 1.5 feet onto tile and phone screen amoled leaked.... And two others broke phones with just slightly more force drops. In contrast I dropped my old otterbox defenders and now my poetic Guardian and Spartans 100s of times and with much force and much height many times with zero breakage of phone and 1 Crack in the front thin cover on one of the cases plus some scuffing and gouging from rock strikes to the soft part of the covers. The otterboxs after the first few were made much worse with the soft compound shortly stretching and falling off so I gave up went to spigen and unicorn beetle then an otterbox defender again (still bad.. Took less than 2 Mo for the soft part to deform and not lock over Ridge.}. Poetic and a spider waterproof case with web design for an iPhone se (great wonderful case but waterproof interferes with audio) and more poetic
Remember, there is a COMPASS in your s23ultra etc, magnets DO effect the accuracy of a compass. I did some research and a 'constant' magnet against your phone, I read, could have some negative effects. Please research for yourself cuz its $1k + phone, worth the time to do your homework. Blessings to all. I can't afford most of the super fancy accessories right now but this vid is great for the heads up on affordable gear. Thank you for that. Great vid. ✌ BTW I hope the stuff i read is wrong.
@@terre08 some of the thicker cases have a magnet in them as well. I almost bought one until i reread the description info. The case was awesome but for the magnet.
Can the iPhone 14 Pro max out the box . 📦 download torrents 🤔 . I have an s23 ultra in lavender 💜. I stopped with Apple 🍎 from iPhone 4S. Cuz not since 3g , 4 , & S counterparts has an Apple Phone looked 👌 sweet. Samsung design is just nicer . Nothing about a pro max made me want it. Apple 🍎 comes into its own when you put Cydia on there after a Jailbreak. But again haven't had a Jailbroken IPhone. My iPhone 4S was devastating 😮 shit programmed on there . But Apple ain't company for me. 2023 . Nope. UK 🇬🇧 dude & new subscriber . Keep work up though young lad 👍
If you're asking why do I use the one I had in person vs the ones I showed as alternatives, its because I like the design and prefer an external mouse over a trackpad.
You wanted me to include the bad accessories I've looked at in my list of "best " accessories? My dude, I know this is hard for the cynics among us to understand, but I have tested a TON of accessories, and this is a curated list of the "best" ones. Like the title says. Luckily for me, the vast majority of people have liked the video showing not everyone thinks like this. I hope you're able to find the list you're looking for where someone says here are the best accessories and then fills it with the worst accessories so that you don't get suspicious.

Make sure you check the S Pen with MagSafe cases! Cheaper/thinner ones mess with the S Pen detection on the screen.
Good call, it does seem to make it slightly less sensitive when the grip is on.
Not even the cheap ones unfortunately as I have found with my S22. There was a broad unwriteable semi circle around the catch so I dug out the magnets and all is well apart from a sad looking bur workable case which stays shut in the pocket so will do. Hey ho we live and learn but usually too late.

I just upgraded to the S23 Ultra, from the OnePlus 7 Pro. I still love my 7 Pro, but it was time.
If you have a house full of Samsung products...get the buds 2 pro wow the only buds that stay in my ear all day

theyre over twice as much as this case. that is why.

@@GreyCerberus gotcha.
are all of their edges raised ? not the useless only top and bottom raised edges design ?
for some reason I see no one caring about all raised edges... but it matters !
the only one I saw with full raised edges was magbak but I don't want the "magsafe" feature ... so am looking for an alternative
Any recommendations for magsafe battery packs that can be used with any of those magsafe cases you mentioned?
Not something I've tested as of yet

Great information 👍. Have you used Skinit brand?
Great video brotha..
Love the padding on caseborne cases just wish their camera cutouts weren't so wide open but used this case on my s22u now have my s23u in the iblason armorbox and Def love this case too
The logitech Bluetooth keyboards are great to use.
The video was pretty solid 💪
Magbak cases don't effect the s pen just FYI. Idk if that was in the video. Haven't finished it yet.
The cases don't, but The accessories absolutely can.
The Gamesir does it fit with a Spigen Liquid Air case with the S23U?
I enjoyed the video!
Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
I had a flip4 yhe screen needed 3x repair as it let lose... would the screen of the fold 4 be more reliable?
Well....just bought transparant spigen 30 minute before seeing your video....hopefuly that is good enough
Should I buy Spigen Zero One or Optik Armor?
I would assume that the Optik is decent, but I've never used it to be able to personally vouch for it.
I have the optik armor its pretty good since there isn't any cases with full camera lense protection that i know of
That color is so cool
Anker wireless earbuds are amazing too
I was expecting the best screen protector too but i guess not.
Overall really good video
What is that magnetic kickstand you showed?
This was a Very Well Thought Out and Detailed Video! And it Felt Like a Conversation as Well. Awesome Vid!

Only thing is the Mag O key ring is not compatible for spen use the middle of screen will be unresponsive until you take the magnet off.
It's not totally unresponsive, but yeah. This wasn't something I was aware of until after the video lol. Got pointed out in another comment.
Would any of those extended controllers fit the phone in a tough armour as looked tight with athinner case
I honestly don't think so but let me check

It's bulky but I really like the otterbox defender pro. Got it on sale at best buy, plus a gift card, walked away with it for 18 bucks lol
i got the spigen ultra hybrid s as well. Its AMAZING and the kickstand is super sturdy! I can't reallly say it's the best protection? I feel like the phone would fall out if i drop it high enough but its a solid case for the price
Magsafe case is great. Just remove it when using the Spen no problem
Excellent video. My kinda guy, right to the gist. That's the way you do a review video. A+++ Thanks

Yeah, a case like that is definitely not going to provide the same level of protection as something much thicker.
Good list. Bought the thinborne as first I heard of it. Thanks.
Hope you enjoy it!
Ok, I'll take my Z Fold in that case and you take yours with no case and we'll both hit it in the back with stuff and see which one scuffs, cracks or scratches first. Deal?
You win probably 100000 of trusts and plus thanks I'll subscribe
I wonder if there's game controllers for the Z Fold 5 🤔
Not specifically, but the ones mentioned here will work fine
eyyy, I had an 8bitdo controller that i wasn't using anymore, and it works on my phone XD niiice @@scaryifliteral

I could never get my Arc Touch mouse to work with dex, ever on my S9, S10 5G, Zfold2 and now on my S22ultra it has never worked for me I wish it would
And thanks to be be very honest sometimes expensive don't means safe
Thank you very good suggestions, also includes this accessory Ulanzi CAP GRIP II
What's a car CD?
An ancient relic of the time of like not even 10 years ago
Why are all the z fold 4 cases sooo expensive.

Would have to wonder what it's doing to Apple products then, unless they've found a way around it.
Why would you have a constant magnet? The case itself just has a metal ring, it's the charger that is magnetic I don't think the case is.

This was a promo job... well done tho.
It is simply a quick list of a ton of accessories that I can personally vouch for being good. If you want to call that a promo, go ahead I guess.
Really got into your video until you talked about the ear buds which covers both ears. You seem to be promoting bad driving.
Who even wears earbuds when they are driving? Bizarre assumption to make here.
