The best Apple Watch Ultra cases in 2023
The Apple Watch Ultra is the most durable and feature-packed wearable device Apple has ever made. 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 those looking to get a case for your recently purchased Apple Watch Ultra, I’ve compiled a list of the best Apple Watch Ultra cases you can get right now.
1. Spigen Rugged Armor Case – Editors’ Choice
Spigen is one of the few brands known for making cases that are tough and thin to keep your devices well protected. Spigen Rugged Armor is the perfect choice for those who want to make the Apple Watch Ultra even bigger before it gets the iconic G-Shock watch. The top and bottom bezels are engraved with RUGGED ARMOR and SHOCK RESIST, while the angular design protrudes to protect the screen.
Made from durable thermoplastic polyurethane, which is simply TPU, the Rugged Armor case features a one-piece construction. It also boasts precise cutouts not only for sensors on 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 haptic feedback of the device.
pros
- Rugged construction
- Made from durable TPU
- Tactile buttons
Minuses
- Adds some volume
2. Misxi PC Hard Case – Clear Cover
Clear cases allow you to flaunt the design of your device while also providing protection. The Misxi Hard PC Case is an ultra-thin protective case. It comes with a tempered glass screen protector that is 9H hard and helps maintain the natural touch and feel of the Apple Watch Ultra display. Moreover, it does not degrade the display quality.
You no longer need to worry about scratches on your display. It is a transparent body with precise cutouts for the digital crown, microphone and speakers. The process of applying the case is also quite simple. Also in the kit you get 2 transparent protective cases with protective films for the screen. Now you can flaunt your Apple Watch and protect it at the same time.
pros
- Tempered glass with 9H hardness

3. Qoosea bumper cover – shockproof option
The Qoosea Shockproof Bumper Case is a 360-degree protective case that covers all four corners and sides of your Apple Watch Ultra. The case is made of high quality shock-absorbing (thermoplastic polyurethane) TPU, which provides more strength and protection than traditional polycarbonate.
Case cutouts are not always accurate, but in the case of the Qoosea shockproof bumper case, they are not. Plus, it’s easy to apply because you don’t have to take your Apple Watch off your hands, you can simply snap the case on. It also does not get in the way when changing the watch strap. And you get two cases for the price of one.
pros
- Rugged construction with 360 degree protection
- You can install the case without removing your Apple Watch
- Inexpensive
Minuses
- There are no significant cons
4. Robust case VeveXiao – with a strap
The VeveXiao Rugged Case for Apple Watch is a unique product. This is not just a case, but straps attached to the case made of the same materials. While we’re talking about materials, the case is made of polycarbonate, the strap is made of flexible TPU, and the stainless steel buckle helps you adjust the strap to fit perfectly on your wrist.
The bezels are raised to protect the screen from scratches, while shock-resistant materials protect your watch from accidental knocks and drops. In addition, the cutouts are precise and do not interfere with the operation of any of the sensors. If you own an Apple Watch and tend to change bands frequently, VeveXiao is a great choice as they are available in 12 different color options so you can also collect from them.

- Shockproof design
- Case with attached straps
- Stainless steel buckle
- Wide range of colors to choose from

Both of these products combine to provide military-grade protection. It has been dropped over 3,000 times from 8 feet and the screen has not been damaged.
You no longer have to worry about scratching the screen or body of your Apple Watch Ultra. What’s more, the sleek and minimalist design, especially the gold color of the case, matches the Apple Watch Ultra case. The cutouts for the speakers and microphone grilles are very precise. Finally, you can charge your watch wirelessly without removing the case.

The DGYSG Translucent Hard Case is perfect for people who find the Apple Watch Ultra small on the wrist or just want to protect it from all angles. It is available in four color options and features a crystal-hard polycarbonate body for rugged protection. And, despite the fact that the case looks bulky, it weighs 14 grams. So no compromise on protection.
The cutouts are precise on the case and come with matching watchbands. They are made from soft rubber and have a 316L steel buckle. Your device will be protected from all sides. However, you may need an additional screen protector if you are particularly concerned about protecting the solid display.
pros

7. Caseology Vault Case – thin and light
Caseology is another popular case manufacturer. They sell quality products and Caseology Vault is proof of that. It is a slim body cut from flexible thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). If you’re tired of the smooth surface of products and love the feel of sandstone, the Vault case with its rough and grainy texture is perfect for you.
Also, you won’t miss the satisfying tactile feel of the side or action buttons as the cutouts are precise. It comes with raised bezels to protect your screen. However, if you need complete protection, quality tempered glass is the way to go. Finally, despite the stylish design, it is certified for military-grade protection.
pros
- Elegant Design
- sandstone texture
- Military Certification
Minuses
- There are no significant cons
8. ECSEM case – several options
The Apple Watch Ultra is only available in one color option. While many may be fine with this, I am not. If you’re someone like me and want to customize your Apple Watch Ultra to match your outfit, ECSEM’s 10-pack bumper cases are where your search should end.
You get 10 cases in different colors, made of flexible TPU material. The icing on the cake is that the case also comes with a built-in screen protector. The cutouts are accurate and you also get a 12 month warranty.
pros
- All-round protection
- 10 cases to match any watch band or outfit
- Inexpensive
Minuses

This is a complete set as you get a bumper case attached to rubber watch bands. It also comes with a pair of auto leveling screen protectors that are rated for 9H mineral hardness.
amBand features a premium TPU strap and raised bezels for shock protection.

10. Metal bumper V-MORO – transition to analogue
Do you want your Apple Watch Ultra to match your formal attire? Or do you want it to look a bit like an analog clock? If that’s what you’re looking for, V-MORO’s Metal Bumper case is perfect for you. It also comes with a stainless steel strap so you don’t have to purchase it separately. Few may want to do this with smartwatches, but I’m here to provide you with a few options.
You will have to put your Apple Watch Ultra in a silicone case. Only then should the entire module be placed in the stainless steel case. Although the installation process can be a bit lengthy, the overall results are well worth it, especially if you want your watch to look more stylish and match your formal outfit.
pros
- Stainless steel construction
- Silicone case to protect your watch from scratches
- Packed in a beautiful box, making it a great gift
- Watch band adjuster
Minuses

- Lengthy installation process

The Apple Watch Ultra is already strong and durable, but we all need to spend the extra money to make it more secure. Given the budget, these cases are pretty decent and get the job done.
