Explore These Magnetic Accessories
Be sure to take a look at our extensive MagSafe guides for accessory compatibility. However, I’m also planning to add more options to this list because not all MagSafe accessories will suit the Galaxy S25’s distinctive camera arrangement. Generally, if the accessory is simple and circular, it will likely be compatible, but larger square or rectangular magnetic accessories, such as MagSafe wallets, may not fit properly.

ESR MagSafe AirPlane Phone Holder – $16: This innovative gadget acts as a phone stand that can be clamped onto numerous surfaces. It folds compactly and is portable enough for travel, allowing you to securely attach it to the tray table for more comfortable, hands-free media viewing while on a plane. The clamp isn’t designed for very thick surfaces, but the magnetic attachment is robust, and it allows for decent tilt adjustments.
Additional Good Screen Protectors

Here are some more screen protectors I’ve tested. All of these are straightforward to apply, which is the most critical aspect to consider. Recommending a screen protector that’s complicated to install isn’t helpful. Also, remember to re-register your fingerprints after installing the screen protector for biometric authentication to function.

ESR Tempered Glass Screen Protector (3 Pack) – $13: Three tempered glass screen protectors for just $13? That’s surprisingly affordable. I kept looking for a downside, but this ESR protector resembled many others I’ve tested and boasts similar claims. It’s incredibly easy to install—similar to Dbrand’s product, you just pull a tab once you place your phone in the applicator tool to ensure a perfect fit without any air bubbles. Unfortunately, it is only available for the Galaxy S25 Ultra; otherwise, I would have recommended it over the more expensive Dbrand protector. It includes a complete cleaning kit with alcohol wipes, a microfiber cloth, dust removal stickers, and a squeegee. I also tried ESR’s Privacy Screen Protector, but I found it unsatisfactory due to its negative impact on screen quality, dimming the display and muting colors.
BodyGuardz Pure 3 Screen Protector – $45 (Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+, Galaxy S25 Ultra): Hats off to BodyGuardz for one of the few companies using cardboard instead of plastic for their installation tools. Seriously, screen protectors result in significant plastic waste, making this option more environmentally friendly. Additionally, the tempered glass protector is made from 30 percent recycled glass. It includes a standard cleaning kit, and the application process was a breeze. This protector doesn’t obstruct the selfie camera, featuring a small gap for it, unlike the ESR option. The only downside is that only one comes in the package.
