TONGATE for Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra Case, [Built-in Slide Camera Cover & Screen Protector] [2 Front Frame] Military Grade Shockproof S23 Ultra Phone Case with Kickstand & Belt-Clip 6.8", Black

I have used this case type with the sliding lens cover on my last couple of high end phones. I am not a professional photographer needing lightning fast access to the camera for a wildlife or sports shot but don't find needing to slide the cover a problem at all. It has become a reflex reaction as I pull the phone out of my pocket if I intend to use the camera and it is ready to go. I have large hands as many people with a phone this size will and can open the cover with one hand. The original Tongate I purchase for my S23 Ultra did not include the lens cover. I prefer using 9H glass and thought I woudl just leave it off. I had to rethink that when I realized that, on this new model, the lens cover is part of the rugged design. The case is slightly larger and the cover locks into it from the front improving its drop resistance even further. Fortunately, and to my surprise, there is a second front frame included that does not have the screen protector installed in it. It seem like a very high tolerance fit so to be sure my 9H glass (the one often recommended for the unit) would fit, I took an Olfa razor knife and back scrapped the inside of the clip in part to provide a slightly larger space for the glass. Once I had the glass mounted and the unit assembled I'm not sure that was really necessary. Overall, it is an improvement over the earlier model which I saw no problem with at all. As a bonus, my 9H screen protector also came with a 9H assembly to protect the camera lenses. I was unable to use that one the earlier version of the case. There wasn't quite enough depth to allow the door to move freely. On this case the extra fraction of a millimeter needed was there so I tried the fit. In this case a very tiny easing for the hole in the case that the lenses peek through was necessary but, again, a little back scraping with the razor knife eased it out the small fraction of a millimeter that was necessary to have the camera lens protector fit into the opening. I now have the sliding door as well as the 9H glass protectors for the lenses. Overkill but I do like taking care of the things I purchase. They typically still look new when I need to replace them after a few years as technology evolves. As with the earlier version, the phone will charge in the 3rdparty 3-way charging stand Samsung list under accessories on their web site. You do need to make sure you have it centered and I find it works better with the phone vertical than sideways but it works well. Finally, the cover an the belt clip are an interesting addition. I thought I would toss that part aside too but the quality is good and it does hold the phone securely so I will likely use it if I'm taking the phone up on a ladder or into other precarious positions. There is a nice positive lock onto the case that isn;t simply friction. I have used cases costing 5 or 6 yimrs as much from the major brands on phones and iPads and things over the years and am really glad I found this type a few years ago. The protection seems to be at least as good and, yes, I've accidentally drop tested it from the roof of my car while moving and off a few ladders and the phone has survived without a mark even though the shock was hard enough to crack or dislodge the replaceable 9H screen protector a couple of times. If you are looking for something that will really protect the phone and especially the cameral lenses and don't mind adding just a bit of bulk as compared to a tight fitting neoprene case or something like that, I woudl highly recommend this case for either the Note 20 Ultra or S23 Ultra phones.

I am SO glad I found this case!! I ordered 2 others prior and quickly realized neither provided the level of protection I wanted. This case is awesome and covers every part of the phone from front to back, top to bottom!PROS:- I LOVE the full body / added front screen protection! This is the only case I found that offers screen protection AND a back camera slide all in the same case. Great job Tongate!- To clarify, you have 2 options for the front screen...an open edge cover without screen protection or a front cover with built in screen protection/ full coverage. I personally wanted the extra screen protection.- The case was super easy to apply (read the instructions and it is fool proof.)- It fits every area of the phone perfectly (the side buttons are actually easier to use now!)- The front screen protector works perfect, just as sensitive to touch as the original screen.- It provides added support at the charger connection...well thought out, nice bonus.- Back camera slide is smooth and easy to use (even with a broken fingernail from trying to open the slide on the previous case lol.)- Grip is comfortable and does not slip out of my hand.- The kickstand is stable and works well both horizontally and vertically.- The case came in a nice box, well packaged with everything I needed. Instructions were clear, they included a nice card about the company, a product warranty, and customer service contact info.- I don't need the belt clip and didn't try it, but it looks as sturdy as the case...but feel like if by chance I did use it and the phone fell out of the clip, the case is made well enough to protect it lol.CONS:- I don't think this is a con or a big deal, but since others mentioned it in their reviews.....I'll add that I did have to reset my fingerprint (which was just as easy as setting it up the first time I used the phone... and they have a video to show you how to find the settings if needed. ) The confidence I have in the protection level of this case is well worth the extra one minute it took to redo my fingerprint in my opinion!- I wish there were more color options ;)

For the price of this case you can't beat the peace of mind. I dont have many complaints so I'll list the pros and cons.Pros:- case does a fantastic job protecting the phone, it breaks on the sides of the plastic to absorb the shock. Ive dropped my phone plenty and it's always kept it safe.- the screen protector provided seems to scratch easy but it does a good job on keeping the actual phone screen safe. It's also very responsive over glass protective covers I've tried.- easy to hold and the cover over the camera keeps the lenses clean.Cons:- the kick stand on these are pretty easy to break. I've purchased these cases a few times and it seems that's the main thing that I continue to break off. Never fails.-the color of the case rubs off fairly easily but not a huge deal breaker for me.Overall I'm happy with these cases. Ill continue to get them. I just hope they fix the kick stand issue. Otherwise I enjoy having the peace of mind that my phones protected from damage.This is not a promoted message, this is my own opinion of this product from multiple purchases.

This is a great case! The only thing that is bothersome is that I think the plastic cover may be too think to receive a fingerprint to open the phone. That may have been an error on my part in getting it set up though. It also doesn't receive my touch for skipping adds all the time. I really think the plastic may be too thick, but my hands are usually cold, and that may affect the screen being able to read my touch as well. I love the protection for my phone, the sliding privacy door, and the stand that's built in. Great design!!!
