I’ve used spigen’s back protector for my poco X3 pro for 3 years. So when it was time to change my phone and shift to galaxy S24 ultra, I knew exactly which provider to go to for protecting my new device. It’s a perfect fit, comfy grip and a bit rough touch that doesn’t leave finger marks and smudges. Perfect so fa
After using the free transparent case from my phone company for a few days, it was apparent that I needed extra protection, better ‘feel’ and integral sliding lens covers.
Had a look at the Spigen website and saw a few options such as MagLok but this case just feels so good. Put to good effect when just after half an hour I slotted my phone into it, I knocked it down a flight of steps.
Fearing the worst, I cautiously checked for phone case damage and was relieved to see that the edge bumpers took all the shock. Not a single mark on the Spigen case.
This item allows wireless fast charging and stops the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra from slipping through one’s hands like a bar of soap. I thought Sony Xperia phones were smooth and shiny but the Platinum finished case of the S24 just needs that extra grip of the Spigen case.
All in all, a great purchase and if you’re not going down the MagLok route, then this case with the lens sliding protector tick all the boxes.
Excellent phone case for the Samsung S24 Ultra. Good grippy and solid material. The sliding protector clicks into place and feels secure.
My only concern is the gap between the lens and the case might not be sufficient for individual lens protectors to be fitted.
UPDATE: Took the dive and brought the camera lens protector (individual covers). Case fits perfectly! 10/10
While this case is very similar to other slim styled cases for your S24 Ultra, the real star of the show here is the lens protection mechanism.
The case is very light weight and adds hardly any extra weight to the phone. The materials are strong but flexible and I have no worries about wear and tear over time. When on the phone it doesn’t make the phone any bulkier than it already is (the S24 Ultra is a large phone on its own).
All the cutouts and ports access holes line up perfectly and none of the buttons or ports on the phone are obscured. The access hole for the S Pen is large enough that the S Pen is easy to get access to. The case itself is surprisingly more grippy than it looks. It’s not the most grippiest case out there but it’s not slippy either.
Now for the best bit, the cover/sliding door mechanism that protects the camera lenses. For me personally I’m worried about scratching the lenses on any phone but I have no worries at all with this case. For the vast majority of time I’m not using the lenses on the phone and taking pictures or recording video, so having the lenses covered by the lens protecting sliding door is awesome. When I need to take a picture or record some video I just simply slide the lens protector open and the cameras are clear for use. The sliding door also locks into place when closed or open. What’s also really good about this type of lens protection is that if you clean your lenses properly with a lens cleaning cloth and then close the door once you’ve thoroughly cleaned your phone’s lenses. You know that every time you come to take a picture or record some video that when you open the door for the lens protector that you don’t even have to look at your lenses to see if they are clean. This means clean lenses every time you take pictures or record video.
This really is an awesome case that I have no issues with and would totally recommend it, especially for those who are concerned about lens protection for their S24 Ultra.
As someone who has dipped in and out of Spigen cases since the iPhone 6 era, I was excited to give the Spigen Optik Armor a try for my new S24 Ultra.
This case is very much designed for the photographers out there, ensuring that the S24 Ultra’s 5 cameras are protected from the likes of pocket dirt when not in use.
One point to note is that unlike the item images suggest, no assembly is required for this. The camera cover is preassembled out of the box.
Positives
+ The textured back of the case ensures this won’t slip when trying to catch that special moment.
+ Fits snuggly to the phone and has well positioned cutouts for microphones/speakers.
+ Side buttons are easy to press through the case making them easy to use to take pictures/videos.
+ Compatible with my ESR lens protectors and Mobeen glass screen protector ensuring that my phone has even more protection all round.
+ The camera protector sliding cover is easy to operate and clicks when in position, ensuring it won’t accidentally open in your pocket.
+ Wirelessly charges perfectly fine through the case.
Negatives
– Lacking some form of kickstand is a bit frustrating as it would make this case ideal for setting up for pictures.
– No magsafe ring, so you won’t be able to stick this to any magsafe compatible tripods for pictures.
– Would be nice to have some additional padded protection inside like the Spigen Tough Armor case.
Conclusion
This is a fantastic case which feels very high quality and is a decent price. My major complaints can all be resolved with third party accessories (i.e adhesive magsafe ring and adhesive kickstand) however for a case of this price I’d have liked to have seen at least one included. Still, I feel this is a 5 star case if you’re looking for something slim to maintain the feel of the phone that offers unmatched camera protection.
I’ve bought a Spigen Armor case for at least the last three phones I’ve owned and I’m in love with the additional privacy features that come with this new design
Spigen has once again nailed the tough exterior type of case that will protect against heavier than usual drops but this time added a slider that will cover the rear cameras.
The last cases I’ve had from Spigen have all lasted years so I have no doubt the same will be true for this one, although I’m curious how long the slide mechanism will last, especially if dropped
In the past Spigen has always been my go to brand for my phone cases. I have always been very happy with their products. I am really fussy about phone cases, as you have a nice new shiny phone and want to protect it, but still want it to look good. The case looks as though it will protect fairly well. It has a great slide to protect the camera lenses, which is bvery usefull. The reason I have dropped a star is due to the look of it, as its fairly boring looking and also the grip. The grip/texture is there a little on the back to help grip it when using one hand, but its still a little too smooth and using one hand is a little slippy. Apart from that, a great case.
I have only had this case a few days but it seems great protection for the back of the phone and cameras. Mt last case for my S10 was a unicorn beetle that had front and back protection. Although it was nice having the full protection the front protector got very scratched easily and made the screen hard to view in light. This time I had a screen protector fitted by Samsung and got this case. It’s a very nice fit and I am very happy to have the lens cover.
It’s over a decade since I bought my first Spigen case and I’ve been so impressed with them since that I have bought lots more, and I’ve recommended them to friends too. As expected this one is excellent in terms of quality with a perfect fit and very good looks. I have the black version of the S24 Ultra and it complements it perfectly. I like that the camera lenses are well protected and can easily be kept clean, and ready for action simply by sliding the window across. The material is easy to hold and there is very little unwanted bulk added to the phone itself. A decent screen protector is essential as there is no screen protection, and I’d have liked a little more of a shoulder around the screen but I’m very pleased with this case.
I haven’t used this case yet since the phone isn’t available, but I can attest to its high quality. The case is comfortable to hold and well-crafted, and the added lens protector is a bonus. I also observed a slight lip at the top and bottom, suggesting potential protection if dropped face down. Overall, I’m pleased with the case and eager to start using it.

Spigen are my only go-to phone case manufacturer when it comes to phone upgrade day guaranteed quality and protection with no compromise.
Love the sliding camera protection on the rear of the case. Definitely recommend this case to keep your S24 Ultra in tip top condition.
There is a decent amount of grip on the case for holding which is thanks to the premium material it’s made with.
Buy it you won’t regret it.
