With the Galaxy S23, Samsung has achieved something few manufacturers have accomplished of late: produce a small flagship phone that delivers. Thanks to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, this petite smartphone can blast its way through apps while lasting a more than reasonable amount of time on a charge. It's no wonder why it's considered one of the best Android phones to date.
Keeping your S23 safe is a must, and if you're someone who likes to travel light, you can kill two birds with one stone by using a wallet case. Samsung phones benefit from many accessories, so there are plenty of designs, shapes, sizes, and price points to choose from, and these are top-notch.

A removable lanyard strap is included, which is handy as this is one of the bulkiest wallet cases you'll find.
Choosing the right wallet case for life's adventures
The idea of wallet cases is sometimes outputting because of the way things used to be. Wallet cases were huge, unwieldy, and expensive despite poor quality. Thankfully, times have changed, and so have the cases. You can still get big, bulky wallet cases if you want the extra storage and protection, but if you're looking for a slim profile, the Smartish Wallet Slayer and Samsung S-View Wallet are perfect choices.
However, if an elegant folio is more your style, Snakehive's Vintage Leather Wallet is an excellent premium option. The handcrafted leather is gorgeous and feels great in the hand. It's also available in a nice color collection, from traditional Chestnut Brown to a unique and fun Bottle Green.
Of course, as amazing as genuine leather feels, it doesn't come cheap. That's where Suanpot's case comes in, providing good value for folks who like the leather look but don't want to pay for the real thing. The polyurethane leather on this one still has a nice feel, although it won't age with the same rich patina as true handcrafted leather.
