Replacement charging cases for the Samsung Galaxy Ring are now available, but they come with a hefty price tag. Priced at $90, these cases represent a significant cost—almost 25% of the original Galaxy Ring, which retails for $400. Initially, replacement cases could only be obtained through Samsung’s customer support, but they can now also be purchased easily through retailers like Amazon and Best Buy, as well as Samsung’s online store. The charging case is essential for powering the Galaxy Ring.
It houses an internal battery and features a USB-C port, allowing the ring to charge once placed inside. Without this proprietary case, users will be unable to charge their rings. Furthermore, each case is size-specific, meaning customers must select the correct size that corresponds with their Galaxy Ring. While the $90 replacement cost is not considered affordable, the wider availability of these cases enables Galaxy Ring users to quickly find a replacement if their case is lost or broken.
This customer-friendly move ensures that users can maintain their device’s tracking capabilities without long delays. In comparison, other smart wearables with proprietary charging cases often have similar replacement costs but are not as readily accessible. A notable example is the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses; losing its charging case while traveling could leave users without a solution for some time. Overall, although the replacement Galaxy Ring charging cases are expensive, their new accessibility through major retailers is a positive development for users.
