Why the Galaxy S22 Ultra Magnetic Thin Metal Frame Tempered Glass Case Is Essential for Power Users and Style Purists
You paid for the Galaxy S22 Ultra's curved Dynamic AMOLED display and that unmistakable matte glass back — so why bury them under a slab of rubber? Picture snapping a slim aluminum frame around your phone in one second flat, magnets pulling it shut with a clean click, and seeing the whole phone through cold-carved tempered glass on both sides. That is this case: a 360-degree magnetic enclosure for the Galaxy S22 Ultra (2022, 6.8-inch) that protects the screen, the back, and all four corners while keeping the phone visually naked.
Built for executives who live in meetings, S Pen note-takers, commuters whose phones share a bag with keys, and anyone allergic to bulky rubber bricks, this is the best Galaxy S22 Ultra magnetic metal frame case for people who want protection that disappears. Six frame colors — Black, Blue, Green, Purple, Red, and Silver White — keep it personal. Welcome to the Gorilla Family.
Key Features
- 6 frame colors: Black, Blue, Green, Purple, Red, and Silver White anodized metal — match your S22 Ultra or contrast it.
- Premium materials: thin aluminum alloy frame plus upgraded double-sided, cold-carved tempered glass panels.
- Case type: magnetic adsorption snap case — multi-point magnets clamp the halves shut in about one second, no screws or tools.
- Strong multi-point magnets: the magnetic seam will not loosen or pop open in a pocket or bag — it takes a deliberate corner push to separate.
- 360-degree coverage: front glass, back glass, and four-corner metal protection with impact-buffer geometry at each corner.
- Screen protection: the front tempered glass doubles as a built-in screen protector with 360-degree sensitive touch — no dead zones, even on the curved edges.
- Camera protection: a raised rim around the S22 Ultra's floating lens array keeps all five lenses off the table.
- Charging compatibility: Qi wireless charging works through the case; to be clear, the magnets close the case — this is not a MagSafe accessory system.
- Signal-safe design: dedicated signal ports in the frame mean zero interference with 5G, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth despite the metal build.
- S Pen friendly: the bottom cutout leaves the S Pen silo fully accessible — eject, write, and dock without removing the case.
- Compatibility: fits the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra (2022, 6.8-inch) ONLY. It does NOT fit the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22 Plus, Galaxy S21 Ultra, or Galaxy S23 Ultra.
Materials Explained — What Tempered Glass and an Aluminum Frame Actually Feel Like
The front and back panels are cold-carved 9H tempered glass — the same hardened material as a premium screen protector. It feels exactly like your phone's own screen: smooth, cool, and immune to keys, coins, and grit. Cold-carving shapes the front panel to follow the S22 Ultra's curved edges, which is why touch and swipe gestures work right to the rim.
The frame is thin anodized aluminum alloy — the metal of laptop lids and bike frames — with reinforced corner pockets that act as crumple zones. In hand it feels like the phone gained a machined edge rather than a case: rigid, precise, and far slimmer than any rubber bumper.
Altogether the case weighs about 2.3 oz (65 g) and adds roughly 2.5 mm of thickness — startlingly little for a design that covers both faces of a 6.8-inch flagship in glass.

Real-World Use Cases
- The Executive: needs the phone to look as sharp as the suit — the Silver White frame and bare-glass back read premium in any boardroom.
- The S Pen Note-Taker: ejects the pen a dozen times a day; the open silo cutout means the case never gets in the way of a thought.
- The Commuter: phone, keys, and charger share one bag pocket — double-sided glass means no mystery scratches on the curved display.
- The Phone Flipper: plans to resell the S22 Ultra in a year and wants it mint — 360-degree coverage protects the resale value from day one.
- The Gift-Giver: wants a striking, under-$50 gift that looks twice its price — six colors make matching easy, and free 30-day returns cover a swap.
Feature-to-Benefit Mapping
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Double-sided cold-carved tempered glass | Screen and back stay scratch-free — no separate protector needed |
| Multi-point magnetic closure | Installs in about 1 second and will not pop open in a bag |
| Four-corner metal impact buffers | Corners — the most common impact point — absorb drops up to 6 ft / 1.8 m |
| Frame signal ports | Full-strength 5G, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth despite the metal frame |
| Open S Pen silo cutout | Eject and dock the S Pen normally — zero workflow interruption |
Step-by-Step Installation Guide
- Clean your Galaxy S22 Ultra with a microfiber cloth on both sides — dust trapped under glass stays visible, so be thorough.
- Lay the phone face-down into the front half so the curved display nests against the cold-carved glass.
- Align the back half over the camera array and S Pen cutouts, then lower it into place.
- Let the magnets snap the halves together and press around the perimeter until the seam is even on all four sides.
- Test the buttons, USB-C port, speakers, and S Pen eject, then re-register your fingerprint with the front glass installed.
Troubleshooting and Tips
- Fingerprint unlock inconsistent? The S22 Ultra's ultrasonic sensor works through the front glass — delete and re-enroll your prints with the case on and press slightly firmer for the first day.
- Wireless charging slow to start? Center the phone on the pad; the metal frame narrows the alignment sweet spot a little. A 15 W pad works fine through the case.
- Seam will not sit flush? Open the case and check the magnet rails for grit — a single grain of sand can hold one corner proud.
- Edge gestures feel different? Give it a day — the cold-carved curve tracks the display closely, and most users stop noticing within hours.
- Cleaning the glass and frame? A barely damp microfiber cloth is all you need — never alcohol wipes, which strip the anti-fingerprint coating and dull the anodizing.
FAQs
Which phones does this case fit?
It fits the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra (2022, 6.8-inch) only. It does NOT fit the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22 Plus, Galaxy S21 Ultra, or Galaxy S23 Ultra — the curved-glass molding and S Pen cutout are model-specific.
What comes in the box?
The two-piece magnetic case: the metal-framed front half with curved tempered glass and the back half with clear tempered glass.
Does it support wireless charging or MagSafe?
Qi wireless charging works with the case on. The magnets exist to close the case — this is not a MagSafe case, and Samsung phones do not use Apple's MagSafe system natively.
What is the drop protection rating?
Rated for drops of 6 ft / 1.8 m onto hard surfaces, with the four metal corner buffers taking the impact. It is a scratch-and-style shield first — jobsite users should look at our heavy-duty line.
Does the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor still work?
Yes — re-register your fingerprints after installing the case and unlocking is fast and reliable through the front glass.
Can I still use the S Pen?
Fully — the bottom cutout leaves the S Pen silo open, so eject, write, hover, and dock all work exactly as they do caseless.
Are the buttons and ports accessible?
Yes — precise openings for the power and volume keys, USB-C port, speakers, and microphones mean every cable and accessory connects normally.
Do I need a separate screen protector?
No — the curved front glass is the screen protector. Adding one underneath will keep the case from closing flush.
Can I attach a lanyard or strap?
No — the sealed metal-and-glass design has no lanyard point; the trade-off is the seamless look.
Will it yellow or fade over time?
No — tempered glass cannot yellow like clear TPU, and the anodized frame holds its color for the life of the case.
Is it professional enough for work and meetings?
It is arguably the most professional case style we sell — slim metal edges, bare-glass faces, zero bulk.
Will the metal frame block my signal?
No — the frame has engineered signal ports, so 5G, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth run at full strength. Tens of thousands of metal-frame cases later, this design is proven.
Is this a good gift?
Excellent — it unboxes like jewelry, comes in six colors, and free 30-day returns cover a color swap if needed.
How thick and heavy is it?
About 2.3 oz / 65 g and roughly 2.5 mm of added thickness — one of the thinnest full-coverage designs available for the S22 Ultra.
What is the return policy?
Yes — Gorilla Cases offers free 30-day returns on all Galaxy S22 Ultra cases. If the case doesn't fit your Galaxy S22 Ultra or you're not satisfied, contact our team within 30 days for a fast replacement or full refund. No restocking fees.
Why Gorilla Cases?

Every order is backed by free 30-day returns. Shop now at gorillacasestore.com
What Gorilla Family Customers Are Saying
★★★★★
The S22 Ultra finally looks like itself
Every case I tried turned my Burgundy S22 Ultra into a black rectangle. This one shows the whole back through the glass and the Red frame ties it together. Snaps on in literally a second.
— Andre P., Atlanta, GA
★★★★★
S Pen works perfectly, which was my dealbreaker
I take handwritten notes all day and half the metal cases out there block the pen silo. This one does not — eject and dock are completely unobstructed. Fingerprint unlock was fine after I re-registered.
— Hannah J., Toronto ON, Canada
★★★★★
Survived the parking lot test
Dropped it getting out of the car — landed on a corner, which is exactly where the metal buffers are. Not a scratch on the phone or even the glass. Signal is full bars, same as caseless.
— Tom S., Salt Lake City, UT
★★★★★
Boardroom approved
I am in client-facing finance and this is the first case that does not look like sports equipment. The Silver White frame against the Phantom White phone is genuinely beautiful. Wireless charges through it every night.
— Charlotte M., Sydney NSW, Australia
★★★★½
Stunning case, budget a day for adjustment
The look and feel are ten out of ten. Two small things: I had to re-enroll my fingerprints before unlock felt normal, and the glass back picks up smudges that need a daily wipe. Neither would stop me buying it again.
— Kevin L., San Diego, CA
