Honestly Im so fed up with my old phone getting micro-scratches even when I baby it so I just bit the bullet and pre-ordered the S25 Ultra but now Im super anxious about keeping it pristine. My logic was that a screen protector is a must but half of them make the fingerprint sensor stop working and I just cant deal with that frustration again. I have a big work trip to Chicago in two weeks and I really need this thing kitted out properly before I go. I was thinking maybe a Spigen case or something rugged but I dont want it to be a brick in my pocket... what are the actual must-have accessories that wont fail me? Im on a 120 dollar budget for the extras.

In my experience, you should prioritize the Whitestone Dome Glass Screen Protector for S25 Ultra because it is the only one that doesnt mess with the ultrasonic sensor. For cases, the Spigen Liquid Air Case for Galaxy S25 Ultra is far less bulky than the OtterBox Defender Series Case for Galaxy S25 Ultra but still offers great grip. Ive tried many over the years and this setup is the best value.

In my experience, you really need to decide if you want magnetic compatibility before picking a case. Are you planning on using MagSafe wallets or car mounts? Ive tried many chargers over the years and since Samsung gives you nothing in the box, Id grab the Anker 713 Charger Nano II 45W. It supports Super Fast Charging 2.0 and is way smaller than the official ones.

@Reply #2 - good point! honestly ive tried many magnetic setups over the years and safety is always my main worry. you should really just search reddit for the S25 Ultra accessory guide tho.
- check the top youtube vids
- look for the pinned posts a video i saw yesterday explains those fingerprint sensor issues way better than i ever could... really saved me a massive headache before buying anything.
