Boasting many features usually reserved for higher-end devices, the Galaxy A54 has quickly cemented its place among the best affordable Android phones. Though budget-friendly, Samsung elevated the A-series experience by adorning the A54 with a stunning glass back. But such a stylish feature comes with some risk.

While the Galaxy A54's glass back makes it look and feel like a million bucks, it also makes it more susceptible to scratches, smudges, and damage from accidental drops or impacts. A quality screen protector is always a first line of defense, but that won't help the exterior. For the ultimate peace of mind, it's always a good idea to consider a protective case — which can also improve the device's overall look and feel.
