The best Galaxy S24 case comparison starts with the Galaxy S24 Ultra Waterproof Case, an IP68-certified full-body shell rated submersible to 6.6 ft / 2 m for 30 minutes. For the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24 Plus, Gorilla Cases offers the Galaxy S24 Ultra Metal Case with Kickstand, which is also available in versions for the S24 and S24 Plus.
This guide compares the Galaxy S24 case, the Galaxy S24 Plus case, and the Galaxy S24 Ultra case side by side. A note on catalog coverage: the Galaxy S24 Plus does not have its own standalone product page. Its coverage comes through the S24 Plus variants of the metal kickstand case, so we use that case as the nearest sibling for the Plus.
Why this Galaxy S24 case comparison matters in 2026
The Galaxy S24 family spans a 6.2-inch compact phone and a 6.8-inch, 200 MP Ultra. A case sized for one will not fit another, so the comparison has to start with the model name on your phone.
The S24 Ultra gets the widest range at Gorilla Cases, including waterproof, military grade, and MagSafe kickstand options. The S24 gets slim clear and camera-cover cases, and the S24 Plus is covered through the metal kickstand case variants.
Phones this large and this expensive spend their lives in pockets, cars, and kitchens. A single drop onto tile can cost more than a good case ten times over. That is why a clear comparison is worth five minutes before you order.

An illustrative use scenario
Imagine three coworkers on a site visit: one with a Galaxy S24, one with a Galaxy S24 Plus, and one with a Galaxy S24 Ultra. This is an example only, not a real customer story.
The S24 owner keeps a slim clear case for meetings and a sliding camera cover for privacy. The S24 Plus owner picks the screw-fastened metal case for the loading dock. The S24 Ultra owner uses the waterproof case when the crew eats lunch by the river.
Protection tips for any Galaxy S24 case
- Match the case to the exact model name, since S24, S24 Plus, and S24 Ultra differ in size.
- Choose the S24 Plus variant when ordering the metal kickstand case for the Plus.
- Test any sealed case empty before putting your phone inside.
- Keep screws and kickstand hinges free of grit on metal cases.
- Use the free tempered glass screen protector that ships with the military and camera ring cases.
- Wipe the sliding camera cover track to keep it moving smoothly.
- Replace a case that has cracked corners, since the corners do the most work.
What is in the box and how to install
The S24 Ultra military case ships with a free tempered glass screen protector, and the S24 sliding camera ring case ships with a free 9H tempered glass screen protector. The metal kickstand case is screw-fastened, so allow a few extra minutes for assembly.
For snap-on cases, align the bottom edge, press the sides, and seat the corners. For the waterproof case, seat the halves and confirm every latch is closed before any water exposure.
