Samsung’s new Galaxy S26 series has arrived, but without the built-in magnets you’ll find on the latest iPhones or Google’s Pixel phones. Don’t fret, though, as ESR has arrived to fill the gap.

ESR has a whole collection of magnetic accessories available for the new Galaxy S26 series, including a batch of cases.

First up is the ESR Classic Hybrid Magnetic Case for Galaxy S26 series which includes a “Stash Stand” around the camera. The case itself is clear, showing off the color and design of the phone itself, and features precise cutouts for the charging port, microphones, and the S Pen slot. It also features “Air Guard” corners for improved drop protection up to 16ft. The kickstand then offers a range of 15°–85° and can stand the phone up both in landscape and portrait orientations.

The big functional addition, of course, is magnets, with ESR’s cases touting 1,500g of holding force and support for Qi2 25W charging on the Galaxy S26 Ultra.

Meanwhile, the ESR Cyber Tough Magnetic Case has the same “Stash Stand” and strong magnets, but a tougher design that can handle up to 23ft drops thanks to its 3-layer structure and tougher materials.

Cases start at just $14.99, with magnets still included at that price. It’s a great deal for delivering the functionality Samsung hasn’t baked directly into its devices, especially seeing as many of Samsung’s own cases cost twice as much.

ESR is also bringing its UltraFit Armorite Pro screen protectors to the Galaxy S26 lineup which includes glass made by Corning and an anti-reflective coating that cuts reflections down to just 1.9%, while still featuring 95% optical transmittance. As a result, you’ll get a display that’s just as high quality as one without a screen protector down to the colors and brightness, but with even less glare. That’s especially great given the Galaxy S26 Ultra has ditched its anti-reflective glass. ESR also touts that this screen protector is 9x as strong against impact compared to traditional screen protectors. You’ll also get a better application using the UltraFit tray that helps with precise alignment.

Meanwhile, ESR also offers its UltraFit Amorite screen protectors as a more affordable option. These double ion-exchanged aluminosilicate tempered glass are still 6x stronger than a traditional glass screen protector and still feature an UltraFit installation tray, an anti-reflective coating, and the option of getting a privacy screen protector.

The lineup also includes some more affordable options, and privacy screen protectors from $23.99.

Another accessory that works between the Galaxy S26 series and ESR’s cases is the OmniLock Magnetic Car Charger, which supports wireless Qi2 charging at up to 25W on the Galaxy S26 Ultra. This car mount and charger is specifically designed with air vents in mind, with an extended arm and 360-degree rotation for full flexibility in installation. The charger supports air vents with 10-32mm vent sizes and ensures your phone doesn’t fully block the vent. Meanwhile, “CryoBoost” tech keeps your phone cool while charging. Rounding it out, you’ll get a shock-absorbing silicone pad as well as a special design that ensures you don’t overtighten the mount.
