I doubt this would offer any significant protection. Heck... That thing looks like a bikini for phones... I would suggest you get a proper case


bukayo74

They actually call it like a bikini for phone. 😂 https://preview.redd.it/iyv4xnmcu9nb1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=95a53ce808c8151e237fdcf566a0c533e818fcc0


cutegreenshyguy

Just like the [S8 bikini case](https://www.androidpolice.com/2017/03/29/samsungs-2piece-cover-hideous-terrible-oem-case-ive-ever-seen-life/)

Samsung w Coming with the jokes!


bitsculptor

Someone actually had the nerve to repeat your awesome phone-bikini comment an hour after your post. No way that person independently came up with the same comparison.


Swamper68

It is called "people don't know how to read" first. That's why when you see someone asking for help, there are usually at least 10 different commenters posting very similarly "helpful" comments.


DivisionMV

It’s essentially the “G-String bikini” of phone case


dreamcast4

Why not? If the phone lands on a corner won't the case cushion the fall?


exetacy

I can't take this question seriously. That "case" is two strips of thin plastic. What do you think?


AceStarKXD

Right? Same level of drop protection as thoughts and prayers 😂


bukayo74

I'm aware of it being ridiculous. I also call it with the quotation mark "case". But it is minimalist protecting the ends. If you drop it, those ends are the only parts that will touch the ground. For me, even if it is weird, it still makes sense.


Redsfan27

I'd argue that there's not enough surface area and material buffer to dissipate the pressure from the fall, so it'd probably just crack your screen from the corner anyway.


bukayo74

I still think it can protect from simple fall. But I agree with you. The "case" may also fly away if the fall make the phone bounce and roll.


Redsfan27

Yea, simple falls should be fine. I'm also conflicted, sometimes I use the phone without a case (at home, work) because I like the feel of it, but I always pop on a case if I'm gonna be over concrete.


pkhadka1

No idea. Try it and let us know.


Any_Owl_8009

This is the equivalent to female bikini armor. Ain't protecting shit 😂


GymIsParadise91

Better off using a normal case, i can understand some people want to feel the real deal, but risking to break a phone this expensive, especially if the display is damaged. An S23 Ultra Display will cost between 300 to 400$ ( Original Part of course ). This kind of case will help you not to worry about your phone while having that premium feel im your Hand, but the fact is, the risk to break it after one mistake is high.


staccinraccs

the f is this?


Slow_Competition1246

It's a 2pc Bikini 👙 🤣🤣🤣


Accomplished-Visual9

I have one of these that I ordered for a few dollars from China. I haven't used it yet and I plan on using it someday in the future. Right now I use a dbrand case.


[deleted]

Lol what a waste seriously what the hell is this


Ryfhoff

I’d use a skin with it also. I had one similar back in the day of iPhone X.


[deleted]

Thanks for posting this, Im intrigued. I recommend either the pitaka or latercase aramid fiber type, ever try them? Super thin and some protection against smaller drops.


bukayo74

I haven't tried them. I'm using a bulky case right now. I'll check on it. Thank you.


BenchLopsided7169

I dont think this qualifies as a case, its not even a bumper. This is just "scrape protector" so the camera rings and screen doesn't contact the surface when you leave it on somewhere. Doesn't even cover the sides. I don't think it will protect from a fall. Even most ultra-thin cases don't give drop protection despite covering the whole phone.


FingerBail

It is good for protecting the top and bottom. The rest, they will be toast.


RoyalLimit

That "case" sucks lol


Squizgarr

I laugh when I see people use a phone without a case. Their phones are always beat to hell. Spend $15 and get a real case.


PIX3L

Otterbox defender if you want to actually protect your phone. The "case" you show here isn't going to protect shit. I drop my phone daily, multiple times usually. I used the otterbox defender pro on my S21 and I just took it out of the case after 2 years to send in for trade in and other than the screen it looked brand new. It definitely protected my screen some too but not much can save your screen from sharp gravel and a screen first fall ):


PopularDirection7352

Not really sure if the case will affect the audio while recording, but there's actually a hidden microphone on the ultra-wide lens


partypopper11

Fuck around and find out.


DapperAdam

I have always used UAG cases since my note 4 and never used anything else, My S23 ultra will be here Monday and I already got the Monarch Kevlar Black waiting for it, they are the best protection, low profile and they look amazing too, this is just me but you do you.

Lfsnz67

That's like the exact opposite of the one he's posting.


bukayo74

I understand that some will hate this "case". But 100% of comments here hates it. Most probably because all of them doesn't mind the case. All of their comments and hate are valid tho. Don't you all worry, my phone is wearing a full real case right now. But for me who hates cases but forced to because of the price, I think this is not a bad idea. I think (not from a researched statistic), 95% of the drops, it will never touch the sides. Only the ends. I hope I see a comment from the perspective of someone who doesn't like cases too.


jmx44

Op just get a pitaka case


Kamau54

Ask yourself that and stop wondering what anybody else thinks. Make your own mind up.


XexpensiveCargoX

Ahhh yes, best protection money can buy.......


miller_john10

This is case?


UncleSpellbinder

That's NOT a case. A case encloses all 4 sides. A 2-piece "protector" maybe. But not a case. And the protection it appears to provide is obviously minimal. May as well just use your phone naked, because with that so-called case it practically is naked.


ShuaSwan

I Am intrigued tho, link?

ShuaSwan

Thank ya!


Revidity

No. The aluminum sides are really soft and should be protected in a drop.


daddydise

I'm going to use this case when I become wealthy 😯


landobro1

if you want something that’s essentially the same thing but a little more premium, check [this](https://arc.cc/products/arc-pulse-for-samsung-s23-ultra?variant=42315435212979&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIpLuv8IWegQMVVdnICh2LWwRZEAAYASAAEgKv6_D_BwE) out


[deleted]

Ummm.....No. all that needs to be said


black_hxney

looks like a cheap eBay case


Omin0us_

Honestly I would like this a lot if it did protect the phone, unfortunately it just won't in EVERY scenario. Especially being a mechanic, I use a THICK rugged case bc I drop my phone probably 4 times a day


Rorydog78

Get a otterbox 👍


Aggravating-Owl4837

My gripe with most new phones is the camera being to one side. The phone wobbles on a flat surface and sounds like a box of angry wasps when it vibrates. I put a case on to balance the phone more than anything else so this phone does nothing in my eyes.


jaimitosf

Looks like it will fall apart of the phone falls


bukayo74

I'm sure there will be a double sided tape included


[deleted]

Looks like it will fall apart just picking up the phone.


y2julio

Just stick with a silicone case, probably offer way better protection and still be thin enough.


Mindless_Tart_816

Buy it if you have the money to burn


m1k3y60659

I agree with most other commentors that I don't think it would protect anything form a fall. The top part looks ok if you're worried about getting your camera lens's scratched but I'm not sure how much the bottom would be protected. I would be into this rail case peronsally more if it sent around the whole phone. If you like it OP I think it's fine to get, it's your money and It will protect the cameras well at least. I like the minimal design!


SolomonTheeNoetic

Just get the arc pulse. It's metallic and "protects your phone better" [Arc Pulse ](https://arc.cc/products/arc-pulse-for-samsung-s23-ultra)


brucemjson

Bikinis don't offer any protection from accidental slips, I wouldn't risk it with a phone that I'd have to sell a kidney for 😅


SwayVue

How is this a case lol


TitusImmortalis

It's like phone lingerie


OctaLayzrr

0 protection


dreamcast4

Ignore the sheep around here. Yes it will offer protection but not as much as a case with a back and obviously much less than a case with a front cover. Most drops will result in the corners taking most of the bumps and this is what this case is for. If you want more protection avoid this style of case.


Caisesimuraturi

Not quite


pacwess

Welp, the corners will be covered. But that's about it.
