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

[Rose4uKY]

I didn't know Otterbox made a phone case like this! That's pretty nifty!

I want one I just wish they came and prettier designs.

I've used the pop case for almost a year now and love it. It might work great for you (and protect your phone as an added bonus!)View attachment 331262

@lmandl:

thank you for mentioning that you've been very pleased for a year with this case+popsocket combo! i'm happy i followed your advice to get it.

i went on the popsocket site (both the otterbox and the popsocket sites sell this item) and one reviewer wrote:

"The socket doesn't pop far
Review by Katrina P. on 25 Mar 2020review stating The socket doesn't pop farThe socket doesn't pop far enough away from the case because it's recessed too much into it."

is that true at all? does the popsocket come out far enough? the person is saying that due to the recess in that area, the accordion part doesn't extend far out enough for him/her to use comfortably.

i suppose it depends on how big your fingers are!! right?

Well, I was one of those people saying it doesn't pop out far enough. I even left a review saying that. Then my granddaughter was using my phone and pulled it out the correct way. I was only pulling it out half way apparently. Felt like an *****. It wouldn't let me fix my review. So, for the record, it pulls out far enough to fit fingers securely behind it.

 

[Dualmonitors]

Thank you for clarifying that!

Whew!

Do you have Samsung Leather case? I got it for my S21 Ultra and the volume buttons do not work. Volume goes to max as soon as i put it on. Do you have same issue?

My buttons work perfectly with the case. Try taking it out and re-seating it.

 

[resn80101]

Same here. Almost thinking of just not using one until the later case comes out

Exactly. My later case is one pre-order. Love the look and feel of it on my previous GS20+. Wish they would ship before March though.

the Symmetry with Pop socket isn't flush with the case.

 

[lafountain]

Got a Spigen Tough Armor that should arrive this week coming for mine.

 

[lmandl]

the Symmetry with Pop socket isn't flush with the case.

It is slightly raised. It has to be. If it's perfectly flushed you would be able to pop it up. Common sense. Here's my new one for the 21. Haven't got the 21 yet because samsung hasn't delivered it yet. Don't get me started on that! But you want a little lip to be able to pop the socket. Don't want a hand full of brocken finger nails!

Re: Best S21 cases

I loved the commuter back in the day. Now I get the Spigen Tough Armor, which is similar but cheaper.

the S21 is going to my wife, so we ordered the Otterbox Commuter for her. Wanted the Teal Symmetry one, but not certain how it would hold up, as we prefer the hard shell combo.

I used to get the commuters all the time I couldn't think of the name not too long ago. And then I found the cutest symmetry for my S7 edge and haven't found a cute OtterBox since. I'm now using iBlason and I had a tech 21 in between.

But I'm worried for my husband he'll get his phone tomorrow and no cases He ordered the pen and case combo which I think is silicone and then he got the black leather case. But I think people out here said it's not very good. He said he'd like a case that holds a couple credit cards and his license I looked at the spegin one but It didn't get that good of reviews and said it was too thick. Maybe he'll like the Samsung ones. I'm getting a free violet silicone $20 case but I don't want it anymore can you exchange something you got with your $60 for something else? Cuz now I found a violet watch band for my active 2 that I want exactly like my silver band that cave with my watch and I like the way it fits. I wish I'd seen it sooner. It's 29 bucks this case was like 20.

I always go with Spigen brand, their line up never fails me and is inexpensive! The fit and finish is high quality for a low price!

My husbands case now on his S10 plus is Spigen. I guess I should look into those if he doesn't like either from Samsung.

likely delayed delivery by the lousy shipping service Otterbox uses for my Otter+Popsocket

they use UPS Mail Innovations which totally sucks here in my city. it's fine when UPS initiates the delivery but the so-called "last mile", which is really the last 80 miles or so, totally is awful, as they hand it off to USPS.

due to the big snow storm today and tomorrow, this will compound the issue.

their shipping choices are not good: it's either the freebie UPS Mail Innovations, or it jumps a lot to 2nd Day and similar.

why make a good product and use poor shipping services and lower your customers' satisfaction?

penny-wise, pound foolish.

I dropped my phone this morning while walking outside. Luckily it hit the payment on the bottom corner, covered by the Samsung silicone case. Not a scratch!

 

[RG129]

Is anybody using a clear case? I'm starting off with the clear Spigen case, and I'm noticing in some circumstances, light is reflecting in causing some halo effect on the lens. There was also an instance where the lighting made the "clean lens" notification show up. I made sure the lens was wiped clean and just slightly changed the angle to adjust the reflecting light.

I was really hoping to rock a slim clear case for a while. I noticed that the other clear cases have the entire camera module cutout where Spigen just has the camera lenses cut out. Maybe that would work better.

 

[Tarah Sorber]

So far I have a spigen glitter case, casemate soap bubble, clear/white samsung case and black samsung rugged case. Today just delivered a black samsung silicone with s pen and a regular black silicone case.

I meant its not recessed to not rest flat on the table. You should be able to push on one end and the other end raises a little. The pop socket, in one review I saw, said it was curved, not flat tops like other pop sockets.

That's odd. My pop top is flat. But then again I had it custom made so maybe that's the difference.
