When you think of phone cases, you probably think of something that covers up your entire device. That’s not what “Arc” does, though, with a special case that leaves most of the device exposed and focuses protection on the most crucial areas. Starting today, Arc cases are available for the Galaxy S25 Ultra, and you can also get them for the Pixel 9 series too.
Arc cases have been around for the iPhone for a while. These cases slip onto the device and are made to precisely fit so no adhesive is needed. One piece covers the bottom of the device to add some protection to the corners, while another piece does the same to the top and, in most cases, also wraps around the camera for added protection there are to better stay on the device.
While this won’t protect quite as well as a regular case, Arc’s cases are perfect for those who just want to enjoy the phone they bought without covering it up.
The case is made from aluminum and comes in a couple of different color variants depending on what model you’re buying for.
The latest addition to the Arc case lineup is the Galaxy S25 Ultra, which is available today. Starting at $69.99, Arc for Galaxy S25 Ultra covers over the camera lens and the four corners of each device, and there are four colors to choose from in Matte Black, Silver, Graphite, and Rose Bronze.
Arc says:
Sculpted from aerospace-grade aluminum, the Arc Pulse wraps the S25 Ultra in sleek, curved protection. It guards the phone’s most vulnerable areas while leaving the screen and back elegantly exposed. The innovative two-part design provides a precision fit with minimal bulk, making it the ideal choice for Samsung users who seek minimalist protection without compromise.
Pre-orders have been open for a few weeks, but you can now readily buy an Arc Pulse case for the Galaxy S25 Ultra starting today from Arc’s website. The base Galaxy S25 and S25+ aren’t getting cases, sadly.
Meanwhile, Arc also launched cases for the Pixel 9, 9 Pro, and Pixel 9 Pro XL earlier this year. I’ve had the pleasure of testing one of these out with my Pixel 9 Pro XL, and I’ve really come to like it as an option that lets my phone feel as thin and premium as it’s supposed to, but without totally giving up protection. I wish I could get something like this for my Pixel 9 Pro Fold, but the inherent challenges that come from a foldable prevent that.
Would you buy an Arc case for your phone?
