Best S21 cases. Which one(s) are you getting?

[Dan_B1979]

I usually go for the defender but since they are not screen protector friendly will look at commuter or symmetry this time around.

Update after looking at both I went with another defender after all I can drop my device quite often so max protection is what I need. I will look around for a OtterBox case friendly screen protector.

I've left the OEM screen protector on; it works fine for me and the Otterbox case has zero issues with it thankfully

Anyone know of a screen protector that works with OtterBox cases except the ones that OtterBox sells

On the S21 Ultra the Whitestone Dome works perfect with the Defender Pro, Symmetry and Prefix. It is a little close on the commuter but works. I believe the regular Defender will mess up your screen protectors but the Pro is OK.

I ordered the thin fit spigen case.

Okay, got in one of the cheap NTG cases in orange today. It is a blatant copy of the Otterbox Commuter case. I also have the Commuter and I like this cheapo better. The Otterbox Commuter's rubber is way to tight with my Whitestone Dome glass so I have not been using it. This one is perfect with the WSD glass. The back is slippery but there is some decent grip from the rubber edges along the sides. The fit is good and the buttons are perfect. Overall a decent case for $11.89 on Amazon. ****ATTN: The orange color is not as bright and vibrant as it shows in the pictures. More of a putrid / washed out orange color**** This was my only let down. Here are a few pics:

I picked up the commuter case today and it's a keeper any screen protector works and it's super protective. It much cheaper than the defender and looks nice IMO.

Does it fit as well as a commuter case? Slim fit?
I am very impressed with the commuter case.

Back in the slippery Pathfinder.

Was about to buy this. Too bad no coupon for S21 Plus.

The Pathfinder is very slippery.

Yes, fits as good as the Commuter if not a little better. Not a bad case for $11.89

I just installed a Slickwraps skin to my Ultra to protect the back from scratches. I was noticing dust and debris getting stuck between my case and phone causing small nicks in the matte black finish. I've always used a case.

Just added a pop socket to my commuter with a metal plate that fits on the pop socket now it fits on my magnetic car holders.

Otterbox Prefix in today for the S21 Ultra. This is a very nice slim case. This case is only sold on Amazon and not on the Otterbox site. This has been confirmed by Otterbox that this is a genuine case made by Otterbox and sold only by Amazon. The case has square sides and gives the S21 Ultra an iPhone 12 Pro Max feel. The back is hard plastic like the Symmetry. The sides have good grip as they are a grippy rubber material. Great screen protection as the edges are raised on all four sides of the screen. There is not much camera protection on the rear though. Lays super flat on the back. Buttons are fantastic. Overall my new favorite case for the S21 Ultra. Here are some pics:

Otterbox Symmetry case in today. Very slim case that adds hardly any bulk to the phone. Pretty slippery, buttons are perfect and it feels good in the hand.
I absolutely hate the giant pill shaped cutout on the top for the microphones, WTF were they thinking? The case also does not lay flat on it's back and rocks back and forth. Overall a decent case but I like the Defender Pro & Prefix better. Here are some pics:

I've got the otter+pop symmetry. It is absolutely awful.

Why does it suck so bad?
