Samsung’s Galaxy S26 Ultra is almost here, and if you’re planning to pick one up, it’s worth thinking about protection before it even arrives. The phone’s redesigned camera island is expected to protrude nearly twice as much as the S25 Ultra’s did, according to leaks, which makes a good case more important than ever. Benks already has a full lineup of Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra cases ready to go, and most of them are built with Kevlar® fiber. That’s the same material used in bulletproof vests.
The lineup splits into three series, each targeting a different kind of user. Whether you want serious drop protection, a slimmer everyday option, or just something to keep the phone looking clean, there’s likely something here for you.
What Benks Offers for the Galaxy S26 Ultra
ArmorPro Series
The ArmorPro series is the most protective of the bunch. It pairs a 600D Kevlar® back with a shock-absorbing TPU frame and an aluminum camera frame for extra lens protection. That raised camera island on the S26 Ultra is one of the first things that will take a hit if the phone lands face-down on a table, so having aluminum around those lenses is a practical detail. It’s the pick if you want real drop resistance without adding a ton of bulk. Prices start from $33.99.
Within the ArmorPro lineup, Benks offers a few different styles. The standard ArmorPro 600D keeps things clean and minimal. The Montage ArmorPro adds a two-tone look with a more textured finish. The ArmorGrid ArmorPro features a geometric woven pattern across the back. The Aurora ArmorPro takes a different approach entirely, using a FloatWeave technique to create a shimmering, multi-layered texture. All four share the same core construction and aesthetics, but there are some slight variations to weight and dimensions, based on the materials, so the choice really comes down to your aesthetic preference.
ArmorAir Series
If bulk is a concern, the ArmorAir series is the slimmer alternative. It still uses Kevlar® fiber construction, so you’re not giving up a meaningful amount of toughness. The trade-off is a thinner profile that keeps the S26 Ultra feeling close to how Samsung designed it. Given that the S26 Ultra is reportedly one of the slimmer Ultra models Samsung has made in years, it makes sense to not undo that with an oversized case.
Like the ArmorPro, the ArmorAir comes in several variants. There’s the standard ArmorAir 600D, the Montage ArmorAir, the ArmorGrid ArmorAir, and the Aurora ArmorAir. The ArmorGrid variant is also available in two colors, Obsidian Black and Azure Blue, which gives you a bit more room to personalize. Prices for the ArmorAir series start from $33.99.
Essential Series
Not everyone wants Kevlar®. The Essential series keeps things simple with the Crystal case, a clear option that lets the S26 Ultra’s design show through. It’s the most straightforward pick if you just want basic scratch and bump protection without changing the look of the phone. It still includes built-in magnets for MagSafe and Qi2 compatibility, along with raised edges to protect the screen and cameras. It starts from $16.99, making it the most affordable option in the lineup.
Why Magnetic Support Matters on the S26 Ultra
All three series include built-in magnets, and that’s worth paying attention to this year. According to leaker Ice Universe, who cited independent sources, the S26 Ultra will not include built-in magnets inside the phone itself. That means magnetic functionality once again relies entirely on the case, just like the S25 Ultra before it. So if you want to use Qi2 chargers, magnetic car mounts, or other magnetic accessories with your S26 Ultra, you’ll need a case that has those magnets built in. All of the Benks Kevlar® cases cover that.
Benks also offers screen protectors and lens protectors for the S26 Ultra if you want full coverage. The GlassWarrior AR screen protector reduces glare while keeping the display looking sharp. There’s also a privacy version that limits what people beside you can see on your screen. Given that the S26 Ultra is reportedly getting a built-in privacy display feature of its own, having the option at the case level too is a nice extra layer. Lens protectors are available in Silver, Transparent, and Black if you want to keep that protruding camera island safe from scratches.
If you’ve been looking at cases for the Galaxy S25 Ultra in the past, Benks will be a familiar name. The brand has been making Kevlar cases for Samsung Galaxy phones for a while now, so the S26 Ultra lineup isn’t a first attempt. If you’re keen, you can check out the full lineup at Benk’s website.
