Why the Galaxy S23 Plus Ring Holder Crocodile Case Is Essential for Style-First Professionals and Fashion Lovers
Some cases protect a phone. This one dresses it. The Galaxy S23 Plus Ring Holder Crocodile Case wraps your 6.6-inch Galaxy S23 Plus (2023) in handcrafted artificial crocodile-pattern leather framed by an elegant gold-tone metal bumper — the kind of combination you expect on a designer handbag, not a phone case. A rotating metal ring on the back doubles as a secure finger grip and a fold-out kickstand, and a hidden iron plate inside the ring lets the phone snap onto magnetic car mounts.
Built for fashion-forward professionals, brunch-and-gallery weekenders, gift shoppers, frequent texters, and anyone tired of black rubber rectangles, this is the best Galaxy S23 Plus crocodile leather case for turning a daily essential into an accessory. Welcome to the Gorilla Family.
Key Features
- 4 color choices: Red, Black, Green, and Yellow crocodile-pattern finishes — each paired with a gleaming gold-tone metal frame.
- Premium materials: handcrafted artificial crocodile-pattern PU leather with delicate stitching over a protective inner shell.
- Case type: luxury bumper-style back case with reinforced corners and a snap-on fit.
- Rotating ring holder: the metal ring spins 360 degrees and folds out as a kickstand for hands-free viewing, or holds a finger for confident one-handed use.
- Magnetic car mount ready: a hidden iron plate in the center of the ring lets the case attach directly to magnetic car holders (mount not included).
- Gold metal bumper: the polished frame adds rigidity and a jewelry-grade accent that catches the light.
- Screen protection: a raised front edge of about 1 mm keeps the display off tables when laid face-down.
- Camera protection: reinforced corners and a raised lens surround guard against drops from 6 ft / 1.8 m, plus daily scrapes, dust, and debris.
- Charging compatibility: fast wired USB-C charging works with the case on — but the metal ring and iron plate mean Qi wireless charging is NOT supported, and this is not a MagSafe case.
- Gift-ready design: precise cutouts, elegant looks, and four colors make it a favorite birthday and holiday gift.
- Compatibility: fits the Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus 5G (2023, 6.6-inch) ONLY. It does NOT fit the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23 Ultra, Galaxy S23 FE, or any Galaxy S24 or S25 series phone.
Materials Explained — What Crocodile-Pattern PU Leather and the Gold Metal Frame Actually Feel Like
PU leather is the same supple, easy-care material used in luxury car interiors and designer handbags. Here it is embossed with a raised crocodile-scale pattern that gives your fingertips real texture — comfortable to hold, naturally grippy, and far more interesting to look at than smooth plastic. The delicate stitching is functional as well as decorative, anchoring the leather to the shell so it never peels at the edges.
The gold-tone metal bumper is an aluminum alloy frame that stiffens the case's perimeter — the same way a picture frame keeps a canvas taut — while adding a warm metallic accent against the leather. The rotating ring on the back is solid metal with a firm, watch-crown feel: it clicks out, holds its angle, and spins smoothly without wobble.
Altogether the case weighs about 2.1 oz (60 g) and adds roughly 2.5 mm of thickness — a slim profile for something that reads this luxurious in the hand.

- The Commuting Driver: snaps the phone onto a magnetic dash mount through the ring's hidden iron plate — GPS at eye level, no clamps.
- The Brunch Photographer: the red crocodile finish steals the scene in every table flat-lay, and the raised lens surround keeps the camera scratch-free in her bag.
- The Gift-Giver: wraps the yellow one for a daughter, granddaughter, girlfriend, or best friend — it looks like it cost three times its price.

Step-by-Step Installation Guide
- Clean your Galaxy S23 Plus with a microfiber cloth, wiping the frame and camera area free of dust.
- Align the camera cutout and seat the top edge of the phone into the case.
- Press the bottom corners in until the phone sits flush against the leather-lined shell.
- Check the perimeter — the gold bumper should sit evenly with no gaps at the corners.
- Test the buttons and USB-C port, rotate the ring through a full turn, and fold it out as a kickstand to confirm it holds your preferred angle.
Troubleshooting and Tips
- Ring feels stiff out of the box? That tension is what lets it hold kickstand angles — it relaxes into a smooth, firm action within days.
- Wireless charger not detecting the phone? That is expected: the metal ring and hidden iron plate block Qi charging. Use USB-C fast charging instead.
- Leather pattern picking up hand lotion or makeup? Wipe gently with a barely damp soft cloth. Avoid alcohol wipes on PU leather — they strip the finish and dull the gold trim.
- Mount grip feels weak in the car? Align the mount face directly with the ring's center plate and use a mount with strong neodymium magnets for bumpy roads.
- Worried about the gold finish wearing? The frame is anodized for durability; storing the phone in a separate pocket from keys and coins keeps it flawless for years.
FAQs
Which phones does this case fit?
It fits the Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus 5G (2023, 6.6-inch display) only. It does NOT fit the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23 Ultra, Galaxy S23 FE, Galaxy S24 Plus, or any other model. Confirm your model before ordering.
What comes in the box?
One crocodile-pattern ring holder case in your chosen color — Red, Black, Green, or Yellow — with the rotating ring and gold bumper pre-assembled.
Does it work with wireless charging or MagSafe?
No. The metal ring and the hidden iron mounting plate block Qi wireless charging, and this is not a MagSafe case. Wired USB-C fast charging works perfectly.
What is the drop protection rating?
The reinforced corners, metal bumper, and shock-absorbing shell protect against drops up to 6 ft / 1.8 m, plus everyday scrapes, scratches, and dust.
Is this real crocodile leather?
No — and that is by design. It is premium artificial crocodile-pattern PU leather: animal-friendly, water-resistant, and more durable against scuffs than exotic leather.
Does the fingerprint sensor still work?
Yes. The in-display fingerprint reader is completely unobstructed, so unlocking works exactly as it does without a case.
Are buttons and ports accessible?
Yes — precise cutouts fit the speakers, camera, microphones, and USB-C port, and the buttons stay crisp under the frame.
Can I use a screen protector with this case?
Yes. The raised front edge clears tempered glass protectors up to about 0.33 mm thick.
Does the ring work as a kickstand in both orientations?
Yes — because the ring rotates 360 degrees, you can prop the phone in landscape for video or portrait for video calls at nearly any angle.
Will it attach to my magnetic car mount?
Yes — the iron plate hidden in the ring's center grips magnetic dash and vent mounts. For the strongest hold, center the mount on the ring.
Will the leather or gold finish fade or peel?
The embossed PU leather is bonded and stitched to resist peeling, and the anodized gold frame resists tarnish. Keep it away from alcohol-based cleaners and it will age gracefully.
Is this a good gift?
It is one of our most-gifted Galaxy S23 Plus cases — perfect for a daughter, granddaughter, girlfriend, wife, or friend on a birthday or holiday, and it photographs beautifully on unboxing.
Is it professional enough for work and meetings?
Absolutely — the black crocodile with gold trim in particular reads boardroom-elegant, like a leather portfolio for your phone.
What is the return policy?
Yes — Gorilla Cases offers free 30-day returns on all Galaxy S23 Plus cases. If the case doesn't fit your Galaxy S23 Plus or you're not satisfied, contact our team within 30 days for a fast replacement or full refund. No restocking fees.
How much bulk does it add?
About 2.1 oz (60 g) and roughly 2.5 mm of thickness — slim and pocketable for a case with a metal frame and ring.

What Gorilla Family Customers Are Saying
★★★★★
Looks like a designer accessory
I bought the green one and people ask where I got it at least once a week. The crocodile texture feels expensive and the gold frame matches my watch. The ring has saved me from at least three drops while juggling coffee and a laptop bag.
— Vanessa M., San Antonio, TX
★★★★★
Bought it for my wife — instant win
Got the red croc for my wife's birthday and she loved it before she even knew about the ring stand. Now she props it up for recipe videos every evening. The stitching and finish look way beyond the price.
— Greg T., Denver, CO
★★★★★
The ring plus car magnet is genius
I did not expect the hidden metal plate to work this well — my phone clicks onto the dash mount through the ring and stays put over speed bumps. The yellow color is bold in the best way. Corners have already shrugged off one parking-lot drop.
— Chloe B., Melbourne, VIC, Australia
★★★★★
Elegant and genuinely protective
The black croc with gold trim looks stunning in meetings, and the raised edges have kept my screen and lenses untouched through months of handbag chaos. The rotating ring makes one-handed texting on the train actually safe.
— Amelia W., London, UK
★★★★½
Beautiful case, one trade-off
This is the prettiest case I have owned and the kickstand ring gets daily use. Just know the metal plate means no wireless charging — I found out the hard way on my nightstand pad. Cable charging it is. Still keeping it for the looks alone.
— Dana F., Minneapolis, MN
