The Apple Watch Ultra is the most rugged and feature-packed wearable made by Apple yet. And no doubt it can withstand a lot and does not really need a case to protect it, but my mind says otherwise. If you’re among the ones looking to get a case for your newly bought Apple Watch Ultra, I’ve curated a list of the best cases you can get right now.
1. Spigen Rugged Armor case – Editor’s choice
Spigen is one of the few brands renowned for making rugged and slim cases that provide great protection to your devices. The Spigen Rugged Armor is the perfect choice for those looking to bulk up the Apple Watch Ultra further until it depicts the legendary G-Shock watches. It even has RUGGED ARMOR and SHOCK RESIST engraved on the top and bottom bezel, with an angular design protruding to protect the screen.
Crafted from durable thermoplastic polyurethane, which is TPU in simple words, the Rugged Armor case sports a unibody design. It also boasts precise cutouts not only for the sensors at the back but also for the Digital Crown, three microphone holes, 10 speaker holes, and a button above the action button that retains the original tactile feedback as the device.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Rugged build | Adds a little bulk |
| Made from durable TPU | |
| Tactile buttons |
2. Misxi hard PC case – Clear cover
Clear cases allow you to flaunt the design of your device while also ensuring protection. The Misxi hard polycarbonate case is an ultra-thin protective case. It comes with a tempered glass screen protector, which features 9H hardness and helps retain the natural touch and feel of the Apple Watch Ultra’s display. Moreover, it does not degrade the display quality.
You no longer need to worry about scratching the display. It is a clear case with precise cutouts for the Digital Crown, microphone, and speakers. The process to apply the case is quite simple too. Also, you get 2 transparent protective cases with screen protectors in the box. You can now flaunt your Apple Watch and protect it simultaneously.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| 9H hardness tempered glass | Users report the case houses dust within gaps |
| Clear case with precise cutouts |
3. amBand case – Waterproof
Apple claims the Apple Watch Ultra is water resistant up to 100 meters. However, most of us won’t be diving to those lengths daily. And if you’d like to add some additional waterproofing to your Apple Watch Ultra while also protecting it further, the amBand Waterproof case is a perfect choice. It protects your watch from scratches, bumps, and accidental drops.
Also, the tempered glass that comes included is responsive, just as the case buttons are clicky, and the cutouts are precise too. Finally, the seal ring between the polycarbonate case and the tempered glass helps the amBand case keep water from the screen. It also prevents any fogging and even avoids the water bubbles caused by water trapping between the case and the screen. You also get 2 packs of screen protectors and cases.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Waterproof design | No significant cons |
| Slim profile to retain the original in-hand feel of the watch |
4. Qoosea bumper case – Shockproof option
The Qoosea shockproof bumper case is a 360-degree protective case that covers all four corners and the sides of your Apple Watch Ultra. The case is made from high-quality, shock-absorbing (thermoplastic polyurethane) TPU, which offers more durability and protection than traditional polycarbonate.
Cutouts for cases are not always accurate, but that is not the case with Qoosea shockproof bumper case. Moreover, it is easy to apply as you don’t need to take the Apple Watch off your hands and can just snap the case in. It does not interfere when changing the Watch Band, either. And you get two cases for the price of one.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Rugged build with 360-degree protection | No significant cons |
| Can install the case without taking off the Apple Watch | |
| Inexpensive |
5. VeveXiao rugged case – With strap band
The VeveXiao rugged case for the Apple Watch is a unique product. It isn’t just a case but rather has straps attached to the case made out of the same materials. While we’re on the topic of materials, the case is made from PC, the band is made from flexible TPU, and a stainless steel buckle to help adjust the band to fit your wrists perfectly.
The bezels are raised to protect the screen from scratches, and the materials with a shockproof design ensure to cushion your watch from accidental bumps and drops. Furthermore, the cutouts are precise and do not hinder with the functioning of any of the sensors. If you have owned the Apple Watch and tend to change bands frequently, the VeveXiao is an excellent choice as it comes in 12 different color options, so you can make a collection out of it as well.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Shockproof design | No significant cons |
