Regret Buying a Spigen Liquid Air Case for My Galaxy S23 Ultra – Cracked After Normal Use
​
I wanted to share my experience with the Spigen Liquid Air case for the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra and see if anyone else has faced something similar.
I purchased the case in January 2025 for around ₹1,172 from Amazon India. I chose Spigen because of its reputation for quality and durability. My phone has always been used carefully, and the case has not been subjected to any major drops, abuse, or harsh conditions.
Unfortunately, after about 17 months of normal use, the case started developing cracks/tears near the power button cutout and the top corner. The material has become weak enough that it is separating at those points. I'll attach photos showing the damage.
I contacted Spigen customer support and provided:
Purchase invoice
Photos of the damage
A video showing the issue with the Spigen logo visible
Their final response was that the damage was likely caused by "external factors" and was not considered a manufacturing defect, so they would not provide any assistance.
To be clear, I understand the warranty period is over. However, I was hoping for at least a goodwill replacement or discount considering:
The case is a premium-priced TPU case
The damage occurred at stress points during normal usage
I've had much cheaper cases last longer without tearing
The most disappointing part isn't the warranty denial itself, but the lack of any goodwill support despite providing all requested evidence.
Has anyone else experienced cracking or tearing with the Spigen Liquid Air series, particularly on larger phones like the S23 Ultra?
Would you consider 17 months to be acceptable lifespan for a premium TPU case, or would you expect better durability?
TL;DR: Bought a Spigen Liquid Air case for my S23 Ultra. After 17 months of normal use, it cracked near the button cutout and corner. Spigen reviewed photos/video and declined any replacement or goodwill support. Feeling disappointed given the brand's reputation and price.
