Finding the right case for your lifestyle

Don't leave your Galaxy S20+ exposed and vulnerable to the scuffs and scratches of daily wear and tear — or worse. There are some great cases available that offer a nice balance between ruggedness and sleekness. The Supcase UB Style Series is a prime example, offering a lightweight design that's rugged in all the right places. It keeps the S20+'s slim profile intact while protecting the display and camera module.

I'll also recommend the ArmadilloTek Vanguard Series to anyone that needs a tough-as-nails case with an integrated kickstand.
