We've been fans of Spigen's affordable yet durable phone cases for years, and the Tough Armor MagFit case for the Galaxy S26 series again brings solid features for the price. You'll find a simple, sleek look in four colors, a pop-out kickstand, and a magnetic ring attachment that lets you use MagSafe accessories with your Galaxy S26. 

Out of the dozens of cases we tested last year for the Galaxy S25, the Tough Armor MagFit case was our favorite. As editor-in-chief Kerry Wan wrote, "It's just slim enough to not make your phone feel like a brick while offering a notable amount of protection to keep the device free from scratches and dings. Part of the reason it's so durable is Spigen's shock absorption padding tucked in the back." 

The case is available for the Galaxy S26, S26 Plus, and S26 Ultra.

The ESR Classic Hybrid Magnetic Case is a solid clear case option for your Galaxy S26, with drop protection up to 16 feet, MagSafe compatibility, and an adjustable stand that lets you use your phone in portrait or landscape. It also features shock-absorbing Air Guard corners, a raised camera guard and screen edge to protect your lenses and display, and an acrylic, scratch-resistant back. 

deals and shopping editor Kayla Solino went hands-on with this case, and noted that it feels sturdy but not bulky, and the rounded corners make it comfortable to hold. 

This case is available for the Galaxy S26, the S26 Plus, and the S26 Ultra. With the new Pink Gold color option available exclusively online, a clear case may be even more appealing.

We've been longtime fans of Pitaka cases -- the brand was one of the first to create a slim design made with aramid fiber. As Wan noted about the Galaxy S25 version of this case, "The result is a cover that keeps your phone lean and pristine, with a durable material to withstand common drops, scratches, and scuffs." 

Pitaka's S26 Edge case adds a new smart feature: the Aaron Button, a built-in, three-button shortcut system that turns the case into an extension of the phone, letting you customize button action. The buttons can do everything from turning your phone to do not disturb to turning off the lights in your house.

Pitaka's cases are available for all three Galaxy S26 phones.

If you're looking for a case that can handle outdoor adventures or larger drops, consider the Supcase UB Grip case. This MagSafe-compatible case includes a kickstand, powerful magnets, and military-grade drop protection up to 15 feet. It also features an anti-slip grip and textured sides to prevent accidental drops. 

Solino has tested other Supcase accessories, and vouches for the brand's rugged design and strong price point. 

The case comes in up to six colors depending on which phone you're buying it for. It's available for all three Galaxy S26 options.

Burga's cases come in tons of fun colors and designs, making them a great, stylish option for your Galaxy S26. They also feature a wrapped dual-layer design, with a silicone interior and a hard shell exterior all around the phone. 

Wan tested the Tough Case for the Galaxy S25 last year, and noted that "for a dual-layer case, the Burga Tough case is surprisingly manageable, with a soft-touch backing that's rather comfortable to hold." He also noted that we've tested other Burga accessories and have been impressed by the durability and customizability. 

The Burga Tough Case is available for the Galaxy S26, S26 Plus, and S26 Ultra.
