Although Samsung has released the new Galaxy S24 series, there are still plenty of reasons you still might want to pick up a Galaxy S23. For one, it's going to get the same new Galaxy AI features coming to the newer phones.

Samsung's Galaxy S23 comes with Corning's Gorilla Glass Victus 2, which is the same durable glass as the newer Galaxy S24.

However, that doesn't mean it's entirely immune to scratches and cracks, so we recommend ordering a protective case if you've just picked up a new Galaxy S23. Adding a case is also a nice way to make your current phone feel new and fresh now that it's going on a year old, if you've had it a while. To help you find a Galaxy S23 case that fits your needs, we've rounded up the best Galaxy S23 cases you can buy right now.
