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

I got the Caudabe Sheath for my s21 Ultra. That is the only s21 model they make for Samsung. They specialize in Apple cases and I liked their cases when I had an iPhone a few years ago.
 
Snagged this gem of a case on Amazon for $13. Slim case with a nice look. Pleather and carbon fiber combo

I've also just had the otterbox symmetry+pop I've been waiting for for two months!

I don't love it... lol the Mous is better in pretty much every way .. it isn't a terrible case though. it isn't compatible with camera protectors.
 
Has anyone tried out Bare Naked cases? https://www.bare-cases.com/products/bare-naked-for-galaxy-s21-s21-s21-ultra?variant=33055386632226

For the past few years I've got with Spigen Rugged Armor because it's not very bulky but still gives good protection. This year for the S21 the lip on the case is raised too much for my liking. I usually do a glass screen protector with a flat phone so I was thinking I might be fine with the Bare Naked case seeing as the back is not glass either?

My cases finally came in. It took almost 3 full weeks, but they finally arrived. The bare naked EX is perfect. You can hardly even tell there is a case on it. bare in mind that this case is for scratch protection only. Think of it like a slightly thicker dbrand skin which covers the sides of the phone too. Was it worth the price, I don't know, but it is exactly the kind of case I prefer, and nobody else is making cases like this. Also, no button covers which I like. The bad news is they sent the wrong 2nd case. I also ordered the frost case, but unfortunately, they sent the smoke case which I don't like as much. I'm still waiting on a reply from them about sending the correct one.

I had an Encased holster for my old Galaxy S10 for several years. It worked well, easy to use and the cover saved it from damage when I dropped it several times on concrete. I decided to get one for my S21 Ultra. It has a thin design, easy to clip in/out and it has a little ridge that sticks up just a tad higher than the camera array, meaning when I lay my phone down on a flat surface it will touch the ridge, not the phone. The clip can fold out like a kickstand if I want to lay the phone on a desk and watch a video.

Encased Designed for Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra

Nice, wonder if the Otterbox Symmetry would work with that clip?
 
My husband didn't care for his Samsung leather case and had credit left so he got this clear Samsung case with a kickstand and he seems to like it. The leather scratched up to easy and he didn't like the feel of holding it. He also liked my purple silicone cause it covered the camera and he tried it and then got a black one of it. The clear must not of came in any other colors cause he wouldn't of picked it the phone has a white sticker on the back I guess he'll take that off I don't remember that. But the kickstand works in both modes and it seems like a nice case. The camera part raises up enough where he can set his phone down.

For now I am loving my I-Blason cosmo purple and I found a matching pop socket on Amazon and my screen protector is still doing good so I don't want to swap cases and it's too hard to get off. I'm not a big fan of 2 piece cases. Plus I have a matching phone stand and ear buds case LOL! But if Velvet Caviar would come out with their rainbow leopard I would like to try it. My S10+ I had I-Blason and it was called Cosmo lite and was one piece and easy to get on and off. I still have 2 cases from them still not sure what to do with them.
 
No scratches so far. Small lip on the 4 corners to keep the screen raised.

The small lips on the 4 corners is a nice touch, however that doesn't really help with protection of the top surface (and bottom). These lips help with ensuring the front screen isn't directly against the surface when placed facedown.

Pitaka doesn't appear to have any front lip whatsoever, but it does have more protection over the top/bottom surfaces. Seems both manufacturers don't quite understand the "perfect" thin case?

My Pitaka case has been delivered so I'll be posting pics when I get home later, cant wait.

They look like nice cases.i would've considered one myself, but the ultra version doesn't seem to be available in the UK presently.

I thought so, but we can just assume. They would plan and invest. Probably if Later Case got protection on top and bottom, it might make that difficult to insert the phone into the case without damaging either. Just my thoughts.
