The Samsung Galaxy S7 is a fantastic phone. It was the most used smartphone in the world when it released in 2017, and consequentially, remains a popular budget Android phone to this date. Even at discount, this phone is an investment, and if you want to keep it safe on a budget, we’ve got the intel on the best cheap Samsung Galaxy S7 cases.
Caseology’s Wavelength case is a visual treat. Its TPU backplate sports a zen-inducing ripple pattern that gives your phone a unique look and adds little extra grip to the case. This component is matched with an air-cushioned PC bumper frame, which helps protect your phones edges and front screen from drops.
Its button covers are clicky and responsive and its port cutouts are accurately placed. This simple and stunning case is an all-around winner.
OtterBox cases typically represent the more expensive side of mobile phone cases, with some of their premium defender models costing over $50 apiece. For a chunk of plastic that goes on your phone. If you desire the premium elements of the OtterBox brand without the hefty price tag, you can occasionally catch their Symmetry Series case on sale for a reasonable price.
This single-piece case is their most low profile design. Its single protective layer is made from both PC and TPU, the materials they typically use to make their classic dual-layer design. It snaps on easily and has a slight bezel to protect the front screen. You may not get the multi-layer design or built-in screen protector of some of their more traditional case designs, but you will certainly get the quality materials and lifetime warranty.
A lot of budget cases we came across added way too much bulk to the S7 to make the cut for our picks. Contrarily, the LK Slim Gel Case stands out as a top pick for those who want a cheap Samsung Galaxy S7 case that feels like it’s not even there.
This snap-on phone case from LK is one of the thinnest options around, which naturally means that it isn’t well suited for drops. If you are generally pretty careful with your stuff, it should be no challenge to keep your new phone safe. This case is generally better for keeping your phone safe from scratches and the occasional bump, earning you a little extra pocket space when you try to stash the 5.1-inch Galaxy S7.
The Poetic Rugged Revolution Case is a fairly standard defender-style case that comes at a nonstandard price. Having a front protective layer with a built-in screen protector is usually a feature you see in pricier cases but you can also get it in this handy Revolution case too.
This case has TPU cushioning an all corners to protect it from drops on all sides. It has rubber port covers to keep dust and other debris from working its way under your case. The design is a little spartan-looking but aside from that, there is little to dislike about this case.
If you are looking for a svelte protective case that barely impacts the usability of your phone, the Spigen Neo Hybrid fits the bill.
Its upgraded frame is reinforced at the cutouts for enhanced durability, while the redesigned pattern on the back of the case has been retooled to reduce the amount of dust and fuzz the case accumulates over time. It has clicky and responsive button covers. All in all, this is a solid cheap case for the average S7 owner.
The OBLIQ Flex Pro PU Leather Slim Fit Galaxy S7 Case is made from faux leather, which gives it a luxe look at a rock bottom price. This is a slim line case that doesn’t add much bulk to your device, which makes it ideal for those who tend to keep their phone in the pocket of their skinny jeans.
The Trianium Protak Series knows how important your screen is to the overall experience of your Galaxy S7. The curved edges make it stand out but also extra vulnerable on all sides.
This rugged defender case is specially contoured to protect even the deep edges of the S7’s Infinity Display. Of course, this is to be expected of any case that calls itself protective. Still, the Protak Series case is a capable defender case for the price. It has a protective spine on the interior of its case which you can actually remove. But there’s no reason not to unless you’re redeeming Trianium’s lifetime warranty, which they honor on all of their cases.
Cheap cases tend to lack some of the small protective touches you’ll see on higher-end models, such as button covers or dust covers. The Ringke Fusion Crystal Clear Case has port covers to block out dust and debris, which is nice for those who keep their phones in linty pockets or messy purses.
The surface of this case has been further treated so it will have both anti-static and anti-scratch properties. This helps it to stay tidy, month after month. If you love clear cases, this is one of the best cheap options out there.
Only have a little extra cash to spend on your new phone case? This VRS Design Single Fit Case is a solid option at an equally solid price point. There are tons of color options as well, for those who prefer a case that stands out. The case is slim, easy to grip, and easy to afford.
This leather folio wallet case from FYY is a convenient way to keep your phone and your funds safe on a budget. This case is made from PU leather and has a front flap to keep your phone screen safe in your pocket or purse.
It can hold up to two credit cards and has a pocket for cash. It also has a simple compact mirror for touching up makeup.
Beneath the vibrant colors of the Crave Protection Series Case lies not one but two layers of drop protection at a bargain price. Its textured PC backplate resists against scratches and provides a nice grip to keep your phone safe in your hands. Its inner TPU sleeve disperses shock and cushions your phone from drops.
What really makes this case stand out is that it strikes a near-perfect balance between bulk and protection. It offers adequate protection for daily use while only adding a small amount of bulk to the already slim Galaxy S7. It is definitely a top choice among cheap Samsung galaxy s7 cases.
This White Marble Case from Golink capitalizes on a trendy new style that is based around the imperfect patterns within a raw slab of marble. Many different cases offer this specific pattern but Golink’s version stood out due to its high rating on Amazon and its choice of tried and true materials.
This case has an inner TPU shell to protect from shock and a matted PET material to resist scratches and fingerprints. Because this case is fairly thin, it isn’t the best choice for those with a history of dropping expensive things. However, if you are fairly careful with your stuff, then this is a cute option for a cheap Samsung galaxy s7 case.
The Speck CandyShell is one of the most instantly recognizable cases out there. It isn’t always discounted into the budget range, but at the time of writing it is a premium snag for the bargain hunter. This case sports military-grade drop protection and no-slip rubber strips to offer two dimensions of protection.
The case is surprisingly slim but it still manages to protect the front and rear of your phone thanks to a raised bezel around the edges. This case snaps on and off easily, but don’t be too surprised if you just end up leaving it on your phone until your next upgrade.
The DualPro Case is Incipio’s example of a budget case that does everything right. It is shock absorbing, it has a grippy outer shell, and it is shockingly cheap. Yes, the DualPro is light on features but that is a common theme among budget cases. Who would have thought?
The simplicity of this case works in its favor, as its design is fully devoted to its main purpose: keeping your phone safe. This case does a lot with a little, proving again that cheaper is better.
This hybrid case from E LV offers both style and protection at an attractive budget price, which says a lot for a company we’ve only just heard of. This two-tone case comes in several stylish color combos, all of which have a textured backplate to improve grip. The edges are TPU-lined but the case only adds a few millimeters of bulk overall.
Its volume buttons are large and responsive and its port cutouts are precisely made. Most reviews agree that it is definitely worth the money.
The i-Blason Armorbox Case may be one of the most expensive cases on this list but it certainly deserves a chance from value-conscious buyers. The Armorbox is worth every penny of its price for the fact that it offers 360-degree protection for your phone.
This two-piece case clips on over your phone and includes a built-in screen cover to protect your Galaxy S7’s display from getting scratched by debris in your pocket. It also has rubber port covers to keep dust and debris out. Its edged are cushioned in TPU material to help absorb shock. The price can be tough if you already splurged for a new phone but this is some of the best protection your phone will get on the cheap.
The Vofolen Card Holder Case is a great budget phone case, as it pulls double duty as a lightweight wallet. It has a shock-resistant TPU frame to protect your phone and a flat card holder to hold a credit card and an ID.
It is decently compact even with the hidden compartment. It has no problem supporting wireless charging even with two cards stored.
