Next up in our coverage of the new Samsung Galaxy S24 case releases, CASETiFY has now unleashed its new lineup. Featuring its Impact Ring Stand as well as the clear, mirror, and other models, the brand describes this year’s offerings as the most comprehensive launch the it has ever put forth for the Android ecosystem. The collection is set to go live for purchase tonight and you can get a breakdown of some of the standout models down below. 

Alongside new collections from Spigen, Moment, and Samsung, we are ready to take a look at the new OtterBox Galaxy S24 cases. The brand has been a staple in the smartphone accessory business for many years and it has now unleashed a new range of some of its most popular styles and designs for Samsung’s latest handsets. Now available for purchase directly from the official site, you can head below for a rundown on each of the new models it is offering for the S24 lineup. 

It’s time to take a look at the best Samsung Galaxy S24 cases now available for purchase. Samsung took to the stage at its Galaxy Unpacked event this afternoon to unveil its latest trio of handsets and the new case collections are now going live. Alongside some pre-order deals on the handsets themselves, you can now purchase first-party covers from Samsung as well as a host of top-tier third-party options across all price ranges. While there’s still more to come, you’ll find the best Samsung Galaxy S24 cases now available for purchase waiting down below. 

Segway has had a busy year, with plenty of new electric vehicles being introduced last week at CES 2024. Today, the popular mobility and robotics manufacturer is announcing its new GoKart Pro 2 which can be driven in off-road environments at impressive speeds with equally impressive steering capabilities. Now exclusively available for pre-order at Best Buy, this vehicle will not only be able to disassemble into a short-distance commuting scooter but also can connect to a PC to experience more immersive racing gameplay.

Mous is unveiling its thinnest Galaxy S24 case ever in celebration of the latest handsets from Samsung. Following today’s Unpacked event, Mous is unleashing its “biggest collection of super protective and great-looking phone cases,” headlined by what it calls “its thinnest ever case for the hotly anticipated S24 series.” The brand, probably best known for offering up ultra-protective cases that don’t look like something that belongs on a construction site, is ready to unleash a new range of covers specifically made for Samsung’s latest smartphones and everything is set to go up for sale today on its official site and on Amazon thereafter. Head below for more details. 

Moment today is joining all of the other case brands launching new accessories for the Galaxy S24 series. Moment is focusing on the higher-end side of Samsung’s new smartphones with just a single case for the new Galaxy S24 Ultra.

After the launch of the new Spigen cases, its Caseology sister brand has also now unleashed its affordable Galaxy S24 cases. It, much like Spigen, offers up a series of covers that are actually better than the prices suggest as far as I’m concerned, and make for notable options for those looking to keep spending down after dropping some serious cash on a new handset. This year’s collection is a far more focused and tight selection of models than you’ll find from Spigen, with three distinct models now up for sale in various colorways starting from $15 Prime shipped. Scope out the details on each of them down below. 

The new Spigen Galaxy S24 cases have arrived. With the official debut of Samsung’s new lineup of S24 Galaxy smartphones, Spigen has now unleashed its latest collection of affordable cases to safeguard your upcoming new handset. Spigen is a brand that has been supporting all of the major new smartphone releases from Apple, Samsung, and others for years now, offering up affordable covers in a range of styles, colors, and form-factors for folks that just don’t want to spend a fortune on a case. Having said that, they are also among the best brands in this category – its cases are (mostly) sold for under $25 (and, in some cases, much less) but still manage to hit above their pay grade, offering up economic choices that don’t feel like they come straight from the bargain bin. Head below to get a look at some of our favorite new Spigen Galaxy S24 cases.
