Samsung Galaxy S26, S26+ & S26 Ultra Cases: The Complete Collection
Samsung spent February telling everyone the Galaxy S26 is the thinnest, brightest, most unified-looking flagship it has ever made. All true. Also true: it is a slab of Armour Aluminium and Gorilla Glass Armor 2 in four colours that everyone else in your office has already bought, and you'll be looking at the back of it roughly four hundred times a day.
The Case Collection range for Galaxy S26, S26+ and S26 Ultra is live. Over 100 designs per model, every one original artwork created in our London studio and available nowhere else. Every case is built on the same core: CoreShock™ impact protection rated to 10ft, an N52 magnet ring with 1600g of hold, soft microfibre lining, engineered polycarbonate shell, and a glossy anti-fade print that still looks like the product photo in year two. £34.99, and buy one get one free on every case, no code needed.
This guide is long on purpose. It covers the two things that actually matter before you buy — whether your S26 has magnets (it doesn't, and that changes what case you need) and which of our ten design themes suits you — plus what's inside the case, what fits which model, and why last year's S25 case is now a drawer ornament. If you're here because you searched for the best Galaxy S26 Ultra case, the short answer is in the Ultra section. The long answer is everything before it.

Which case suits your Galaxy S26 colour?
Samsung unified the palette this year, so the S26, S26+ and S26 Ultra all launched in the same four finishes on 25 February 2026: Black, White, Sky Blue and Cobalt Violet, plus Silver Shadow and Pink Gold as Samsung.com exclusives.
Because our cases are printed art rather than solid colours, matching works differently. The frame and camera island stay visible, so what you're really matching is the edge of your phone to the dominant tone of the print.
| Finish | Best matches | Also works |
|---|---|---|
| Black | Noir Elite, Kintsugi, Midnight Panther | Elegance Espresso, He's Flying |
| White | Daisy Flowers, Cabana, Lemon and Bees | Summer Breeze, Cherry Blossom |
| Sky Blue | Riviera, Indigo Impasto, Ethereal Dawn | Deep Sea, Azure Elegance |
| Cobalt Violet | Orchid Dream, Ruby Flora, Love Cherry | Veloria, Burgundy Bloom |
| Silver Shadow | Caramel Swirl, Luxe Emerald | Navy Suits |
| Pink Gold | Cocoa Cuddles, Cocoa Confetti | Rebel Cherry |
The logic behind it, briefly:
- Black and Sky Blue — go tonal. A print built on the same ground colour as the frame reads as one object, and the pattern does the talking.
- White and Pink Gold — light grounds and warm creams keep the phone looking clean, with colour arriving as detail rather than a block.
- Cobalt Violet — pinks and warm reds lift a muted purple frame instead of fighting it.
- Silver Shadow — a neutral frame takes anything, so this is the one to go richer on.
One honest note on matching. With a printed case, the phone's finish is a frame around the artwork, not a competitor to it. If you love a print that clashes with your colour, buy the print. Nobody has ever regretted a good case because the aluminium edge was a different blue.

The one thing to know: your S26 has no magnets
This is the part most Galaxy owners get wrong, so it's worth two minutes.
The Galaxy S26 series is Qi2 Ready. Samsung built in the Qi2 wireless charging coil, but not the magnet ring that surrounds it on an iPhone. Out of the box, your S26 will charge on a Qi2 pad — if you line it up correctly, by hand, every time — and it will fall straight off a magnetic car mount, a MagSafe wallet, or a snap-on battery pack.
The magnets have to come from the case. That's why every Case Collection Galaxy S26 case has an N52 magnet ring built into the shell, with 1600g of hold. N52 is the strongest neodymium grade in common production. What that gets you:
- Snaps onto Qi2 and MagSafe chargers and centres itself on the coil, so no more waking up to 34%
- Holds on a magnetic car mount through speed bumps and hard braking
- Takes MagSafe wallets, kickstands, tripod adapters and battery packs — the accessory ecosystem Android owners have been locked out of for years
- Charges wirelessly through the case, no removal needed
If you buy one thing from this page, make it a magnetic case. A non-magnetic case on a Qi2 Ready phone throws away a feature you already paid for.
What is CoreShock™?
CoreShock™ is our impact system, and it's the reason a case this slim is rated to survive 10ft drops.
The short version: a hard shell alone transmits impact energy straight into the phone. A soft shell alone lets the phone flex and the screen crack. CoreShock™ uses both — an engineered polycarbonate backplate that resists twisting, bonded to a soft TPU frame with reinforced corners that absorb and disperse the energy of a landing.
Corners matter more than backs. A phone dropped from pocket height almost always lands on a corner first, and that's where force concentrates before it travels into the glass. The reinforced corners take that hit and spread it, which is why a 10ft rating is achievable in a case that still fits in a jeans pocket.
Inside, a soft microfibre lining sits against the glass back. It isn't there for drops. It's there to stop the fine circular scratching that hard-shell cases grind into a glossy back over six months of trapped dust.
What's inside the case
Engineered polycarbonate shell. The rigid backbone. Resists torsion — the twisting motion that cracks screens and shatters backs — and holds the print flat and true.
Soft TPU frame. Grippy in the hand, easy to get on and off, forgiving on impact. Also the reason the buttons click properly instead of going mushy after a month.
CoreShock™ corners. Reinforced at the four points that actually hit the floor. Rated to 10ft.
N52 magnet ring, 1600g hold. Qi2 and MagSafe compatible. Charges through the case.
Microfibre lining. Soft-touch, full coverage, protects the glass back from micro-scratches.
Glossy anti-fade print. Studio-grade printing, colour that survives sunlight, pockets and hand cream. This is the bit most printed cases get wrong; ours is why our artists let us print their work.
And the fit. Every case is moulded per model — not one shell stretched across three phones. The S26 Ultra's redesigned camera island alone needed its own tooling, with a raised lip that lifts all the lenses clear of the table.
Ten design themes
Every print is original artwork, exclusive to Case Collection, created by artists we scout from around the world. The collection is organised into ten themes so you can find your corner of it quickly.
Floral — the largest theme and the best-selling one. Cherry Blossom for soft pink, Poppy Heart for bold red, Daisy Flowers for clean white, Orchid Dream for something painterly.
Animals — leopard, cowhide and cats. Swiss Cow is the one people stop you about. Fuji Cats — Mount Fuji, a red sun, cherry blossom and cat silhouettes — is our most-shared design of the year. Midnight Panther if you want it quieter.
Marble — Kintsugi in black and gold is the grown-up pick. Caramel Swirl and Indigo Impasto for warmer and cooler versions of the same idea.
Polka Dots — the sleeper hit. Noir Elite, Deep Sea, Veloria and Cocoa Confetti cover black, navy, pink and brown.
Stripes — Riviera in blue and Cabana in pink. Holiday energy, year round.
Checks — Elegance Espresso and Candy Floss. Quiet pattern, strong on a big phone.
Abstract — Azure Elegance and Luxe Emerald. Art without a subject; goes with everything.
Landscape — Ethereal Dawn and Woodland. The calmest corner of the range.
Cosmic — deep space and aurora tones for anyone who finds florals too polite. Browse the cosmic theme.
Fruit — Lemon and Bees and Rebel Cherry. Cheerful, and unusually good as a gift.

Galaxy S26 cases
The 6.3-inch S26 is the one most people should buy and the one the internet ignores because the Ultra exists. At around 167g it's the lightest phone in the family, and a slim case keeps it that way.
The trade-off on the base model is grip. A light, thin, satin-finish phone slides off sofa arms and car seats with real enthusiasm. The soft TPU frame solves that without adding bulk, and the N52 ring gives you Qi2 snap-on charging the phone can't do by itself.
Our pick for the S26: Cherry Blossom. It's the design that sells fastest on smaller phones — the pattern scales beautifully at 6.3 inches, where busier prints get crowded.
Fit: Moulded for the 6.3-inch Galaxy S26 · Magnets: N52, 1600g hold, Qi2 and MagSafe compatible · Protection: CoreShock™, 10ft rated · Price: £34.99, buy 1 get 1 free
Galaxy S26 Plus cases
The 6.7-inch S26+ is the sensible middle: Ultra-sized screen, no S Pen, noticeably lighter than the Ultra at around 190g. It's also the model most likely to be used one-handed despite being too big for that, which means it gets dropped.
Bigger back, bigger canvas. Landscape, marble and abstract prints have room to breathe at 6.7 inches in a way they don't on the base model, and that's where we'd start.
Our pick for the S26+: Indigo Impasto. Thick, painterly blue marble that uses the whole back panel.
Fit: Moulded for the 6.7-inch Galaxy S26+ · Magnets: N52, 1600g hold, Qi2 and MagSafe compatible · Protection: CoreShock™, 10ft rated · Price: £34.99, buy 1 get 1 free
Galaxy S26 Ultra cases
The 6.9-inch Ultra is the phone most of you came here for, and the hardest one to hold. It's 214g and 7.9mm — Samsung got it thinner than the S25 Ultra by pushing the camera island further out, which is why it now rocks on a desk when it's naked.
Three things we did specifically for this model.
The camera island. Completely redesigned for 2026, and the mould is the most complex in the range. The raised lip around the cutout lifts all four lenses clear of any surface and settles the phone flat. No rock, no gap for grit to collect in.
The S Pen. We tested our magnetic cases with the Ultra's S Pen. It writes and hovers normally across the whole screen, including directly over the magnet ring, and slots back into its holster without interference. Samsung's general caution about magnetic accessories and the S Pen exists because the S26 Ultra carries no magnets of its own — the case adding them is not the same situation.
The weight. 214g landing on a corner from pocket height is a different event to 167g. The reinforced CoreShock™ corners are doing real work on this model, and it has the most glass in the range to lose.
The best Galaxy S26 Ultra case: our pick
Asked straight, here's the straight answer. Our pick is Fuji Cats — original London-studio artwork, exclusive to us, with CoreShock™ 10ft protection, an N52 1600g magnet ring, microfibre lining and a moulded camera-island lip, for £34.99. If you want the same build in something more restrained, Kintsugi in black and gold is the one.

Why buy from Case Collection
There is no shortage of Galaxy S26 cases. Most are the same blank shell from the same factory with a different logo on the box. Here's what's actually different about ours.
Buy one, get one free — on every case, no code
Every case is £34.99, down from £44.99, and buy one get one free applies across the entire range. Add two, the cheaper one comes off at checkout. No code, no minimum, no "selected lines only". Two cases for £34.99 works out at £17.50 each, which is less than most plain silicone cases cost on their own.
Most people use it the same way: one loud case and one quiet one, so the phone matches the day rather than the other way round. It also makes the gifting maths easy — one for you, one for someone else, one price.
Art you won't find anywhere else
We scout emerging artists from around the world and license their work exclusively. Every print on this page exists on Case Collection and nowhere else — not on a marketplace, not on a print-on-demand site, not on the same case with a different brand name. That's the whole point of the company. If you've ever seen your own phone case on a stranger in a queue, you'll understand why it matters.
Designed and printed in London
The studio is in London. The artwork is commissioned here, the colour work is done here, and the cases are printed here rather than being ordered in bulk from a catalogue of generic designs. That's why we can put out a print in a season rather than a year, and why the Samsung range gets the same designs as the iPhone range instead of the leftovers — something Galaxy owners have put up with for a long time.
Glossy, anti-fade print that stays that way
The finish is a high-gloss, industrial-grade print, and it is the single hardest part of making a case like this well. Cheap printing goes chalky: the colour lifts under UV, the blacks grey out, and the whole thing looks tired by month four. Ours is printed with studio-grade equipment and sealed for depth and durability, so the case in your hand in a year still looks like the photograph you bought it from. Sunlight, pockets, sun cream, hand cream — none of it dulls it.
The bits that should be obvious
- CoreShock™ 10ft drop protection on every case, not just a "tough" line you have to upgrade to
- N52 magnets with 1600g hold as standard — not an extra-cost magnetic version
- 50% recycled materials, GRS certified, with no compromise on the drop rating
- 12-month warranty against manufacturing faults, and 30-day returns if you change your mind
- Same-day dispatch before 3:00pm Monday to Friday, then 1–2 working days. £2.99 delivery under £29, free over £29 — which two cases clears comfortably
Finish it with a phone charm
A charm is the cheapest way to make a case yours, and on a phone this size it's genuinely useful — a loop to hook a finger through when you're stretching for the far corner of a 6.9-inch screen.
Ours are designed to sit with the prints rather than fight them: beaded, metallic and pearl options that pick up a colour from the artwork. Pair a warm charm with the brown and cream prints, something cooler with the blues. Two cases and a charm is also the easiest gift we sell, and with buy one get one free on cases, it lands well above what it costs.
Screen protectors
The case keeps the back and the lenses off the table. It doesn't help with keys in a pocket. Our tempered glass screen protectors come as a pack of two, with 2.5D curved edges cut to sit inside the case lip rather than fighting it at the corners — which is where cheap protectors lift and start collecting dust.
Gorilla Glass Armor 2 is genuinely tough. It is also the most expensive component on the phone to replace.
Made with 50% recycled materials
Every Case Collection case is made with 50% recycled plastic, GRS certified, and we're working toward 100%. That certification matters: Global Recycled Standard verifies recycled content independently at each stage of the supply chain rather than taking a factory's word for it.
What we won't do is trade strength for the claim. The recycled content sits in the shell, the CoreShock™ structure and the 10ft rating are unchanged, and the warranty is the same 12 months. Looks good, does good, still survives the stairs.

Upgrading from a Galaxy S25?
Your old case won't fit. This isn't a case of it being a bit tight — the S26 Ultra is taller and wider than the S25 Ultra despite keeping the same 6.9-inch screen, it's thinner at 7.9mm against 8.2mm, and the camera island has been completely redesigned. An S25 Ultra case won't seat correctly and won't line up with the lenses. Same story across the S26 and S26+.
The good news is the designs travel. If you had a print you loved on the S25, there's a strong chance it's in the S26 range too, cut to the new mould. And if you're moving from an iPhone, the whole magnetic accessory collection you were using still works — because the magnets are now in the case.
FAQs
Are Case Collection Galaxy S26 cases magnetic, and do they work with MagSafe accessories?
Yes. The Galaxy S26, S26+ and S26 Ultra are Qi2 Ready, meaning they have the wireless charging coil but no magnets of their own. Every case in this collection has an N52 magnet ring with 1600g of hold, which snaps the phone onto Qi2 and MagSafe chargers, car mounts, wallets and battery packs, and keeps it centred on the charging coil. Wireless charging works through the case.
Will a magnetic case affect the Galaxy S26 Ultra's S Pen?
Not these ones. We tested our magnetic cases with the S26 Ultra's S Pen. The pen writes and hovers normally across the whole screen, including over the magnet ring, and returns to its holster without interference. Samsung's general caution about magnetic accessories and the S Pen applies because the S26 Ultra has no built-in magnets.
Will my Galaxy S25 case fit the S26?
No. Every model in the S26 series was redesigned, with different dimensions and a new camera island. The S26 Ultra is taller and wider than the S25 Ultra and thinner at 7.9mm against 8.2mm. An S25-series case will not seat correctly or align with the lenses.
Are these shockproof Galaxy S26 cases?
Yes. Every case uses CoreShock™ impact protection rated to 10ft, with reinforced corners, an engineered polycarbonate shell and a soft TPU frame. A soft microfibre lining protects the glass back from scratches.
Will the case fit the Galaxy S26 Ultra's camera island?
Yes. Each case is moulded for its specific model, including the Ultra's redesigned raised camera island. The lip around the cutout lifts all lenses clear of flat surfaces and stops the phone rocking on a desk.
What designs are available for the Galaxy S26?
Over 100 designs per model, across ten themes: floral, animals, marble, polka dots, stripes, checks, abstract, landscape, cosmic and fruit. Every print is original artwork created in our London studio and exclusive to Case Collection.
How much are Galaxy S26 cases, and is there an offer on?
£34.99, reduced from £44.99, with buy one get one free across every case — no code needed. Add two cases and the cheaper one comes off at checkout. Free UK delivery over £29.
Will the print fade or scratch off?
No. The design is printed with studio-grade equipment and sealed under a glossy anti-fade finish, so it holds its colour through sunlight, pockets and daily handling rather than going chalky after a few months. Printed cases are covered by a 12-month warranty against manufacturing faults.
Where are Case Collection cases designed and made?
The artwork is commissioned and the cases are printed in our London studio. Every print is exclusive to Case Collection and isn't available from any other brand or marketplace.
Are Case Collection cases sustainable?
Every case is made with 50% recycled plastic, GRS certified, and we're working toward 100%. The recycled content doesn't change the 10ft CoreShock™ rating or the 12-month warranty.
When will my order arrive?
Order before 3:00pm Monday to Friday for same-day dispatch, then 1–2 working days for standard delivery. Orders placed after 3:00pm or on bank holidays go out the next working day.
