The best Apple Watch Ultra cases

The Apple Watch lineup has seen a long line of improved specs, and the Ultra currently represents the peak of Apple device durability. It’s the perfect companion for outdoor enthusiasts and fitness buffs looking for a hardy gym companion. To give your titanium case even more protection from wear and tear, shop the devices below.

Our pick for the best blend of form and function, the Spigen Thin Fit maintains the Apple Watch Ultra’s form factor. Its slim, snap-on design is perfect for avoiding dings on your daily commute and preventing scratches to the device’s titanium case. Plus, it’s only $14.99 which seems like a no-brainer when it comes to extending the lifespan of your device.

For less than $20, the Spigen Rugged Armor adds a layer of strong yet flexible Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) material to your Apple Watch Ultra to help absorb shocks and prevent scratches. With raised bezels, it also gives the device’s oversized display a buffer from accidental bumps. Though not as sleek as the company’s thin-fit design, this option from Spigen can stand up to even tougher environments.

Not all protection has to transform your device into a black rubber gadget reminiscent of something Batman might have on his wrist. The MAGEASY Odyssey case offers an upscale alternative with a metallic watch case made from lightweight aluminum. While still providing shock absorption and plenty of coverage, this case maintains the elevated look of your original purchase. It will cost you, however. The accessory is currently listed at $49.99. If you have the Alpine Loop, this choice may not be for you. Some reviewers mentioned the strap being incompatible.

A truly all-in-one find, the AmBand M1 Sports Series covers all the bases. Its unibody strap and case are made from waterproof TPU for durable protection you can strap on in one simple step. The band even integrates a tempered glass screen protector to make sure your Apple Watch Ultra display stays scratch free. For $30, it’s available in five different colorways, each including metallic clasps for an upscale look.

Though first and foremost a bumper-style watch case, the Elkson Quattro Max also integrates a screen protector for maximizing scratch resistance. The Apple Watch Ultra features a Sapphire crystal lens, so while a screen protector shouldn’t be absolutely necessary, damage is bound to happen over time. Reviewers found this design easy to install and the bumper’s cutouts fit precisely around the Ultra’s buttons and crown. It’s also affordable at just $15.

Caseology is no stranger to our best lists when it comes to device accessories. This sleek Apple Watch Ultra case offers another thin, minimalist option that’s plenty durable yet won’t add excessive bulk to users’ wrists. Rather than a smooth rubber feel, the Vault Case features a textured finish that sets it apart from popular picks like the Spigen Thin Fit above. Like the Spigen though, this Caseology pick is just $15.
