As a result of the Galaxy S21 is available in three sizes, you will have to just be sure you’re getting a case designed in your particular mannequin. The S21 Extremely boasts a 6.8-inch display and the heaviest construct — making circumstances with built-in kickstands an excellent choice for this massive boy. The S21 Plus is smaller at 6.7 inches, whereas the S21 is even smaller at 6.2 inches. It doesn’t matter what mannequin you’ve got acquired, we have rounded up all the perfect S21, S21 and S21 Extremely case choices accessible to point out you what’s on the market to guard your funding.
Notice that a number of the suggestions for these Galaxy S21 sequence circumstances are primarily based on my expertise utilizing practically similar fashions with previous Galaxy smartphones, in addition to iPhones. The place a number of merchandise are proven, the value listed is the beginning value for the road. Just remember to’re shopping for the case and tempered glass that matches the particular mannequin of your S21 — Extremely, Plus or commonplace.
Main case maker Speck brings a number of protecting case choices to the Galaxy S21, together with (from left to proper in image above) the Presidio Excellent-Clear, Presidio Excellent-Mist, Presidio Excellent-Clear Ombre, and Presidio2 Grip. In addition they have circumstances for the Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus, the Galaxy S20 Extremely, Galaxy Z Flip fashions, the Galaxy Z Fold and Galaxy S7, S8, S9 and S10..
For those who’re on the lookout for an inexpensive clear case in your new Galaxy S21, Spigen’s Extremely Hybrid is an effective worth. I just like the Extremely Hybrid S (on left in photograph), which has an built-in kickstand.
Out there in brown or black, Samsung’s leather-based case affords a hardened protecting layer across the cameras whereas delivering a pleasant leather-based really feel the remainder of the way in which round. Leather-based does not have an effect on wi-fi charging or something, so you possibly can pop this in your telephone and have it really feel nice with out sacrificing something. The smooth leather-based case does not add bulk to the telephone and has good shock absorption.
Samsung’s Clear Standing Cowl is not something fancy but it surely’s a protecting clear case that has an built-in kickstand. You’ll be able to prop your telephone up horizontally or vertically utilizing the kickstand, which appears sturdy (it is bigger than Spigen’s built-in kickstand). I repeatedly use this case.
I’ve turn into a current fan of Clckr’s circumstances, which characteristic a built-in stand and grip strap that folds out and clicks into place on the again of your telephone. Clckr sells simply the stand-strap accent to stay on the again of your telephone or on a case, however the case with the built-in stand accent is healthier. The choice for the S21 is at present fairly restricted (there’s solely a transparent model S21 and S21 Plus, not the S21 Extremely), however maybe the choices will develop over time.
The corporate’s tremendous protecting Defender sequence case is accessible for all of the Galaxy S21 fashions, however most individuals need one thing much less cumbersome. I just like the Symmetry sequence circumstances — they’re slim with beveled edges, making them an excellent mixture of glossy and protecting. That mentioned, I’ve come to love the extra protecting Commuter Sequence higher, due to the grips it has on the again and sides, in addition to having raised edges on the entrance that ought to assist shield your display. The raised bezel acts as a display protector to maintain your display scratch-free and the digicam module will get the identical remedy.
Typically you want greater than a median case, and whereas there are a lot which declare “ruggedness” there are only some keen to again that declare up. ArmadilloTek’s Vanguard sequence is MIL STD 810G rated, which suggests it might probably survive drops of as much as 20 foot due to its multilayer design and provides nice digicam lens safety. Even with these layers in between the telephone and the charger, one in all which features a pull-out stand, this case nonetheless helps wi-fi charging.
British case-maker Gear4, now owned by Zagg, makes circumstances which are proper there with OtterBox and Speck. They’re all lined with the corporate’s D3O shock-absorbing materials and have beveled edges to guard your telephone. Proven right here from left to proper are the Havana (10-foot drop safety), Denali (16-foot drop safety), Crystal Palace (13-foot drop safety) and Copenhagen (13-foot drop safety). All use some recycled plastic of their building, however the Copenhagen, made out of 52% plant-based materials, is essentially the most eco-friendly.
Notably with the 2 bigger fashions of the Galaxy S21, I discover that having an built-in kickstand is a pleasant characteristic and the ESR kickstand case is about as inexpensive as you get.
Cyrill is a sub-brand of Spigen and like Spigen, its circumstances usually promote for lower than $20. Cyrill does not have fairly the identical choice for the Galaxy S21 because it does for the iPhone 12, but it surely has some protecting clear circumstances with floral designs (pictured on proper), in addition to the Brick Matte End Bumper case, which has a soft-to-the-touch end (pictured on left). It has a raised body on the again that gives some further safety for the digicam lenses. The corners of the case have a raised lip as properly.
Some folks wish to have full-screen safety, in order that they go along with a folio case that covers the display. The Strada By way of is a brand new folio case from Otterbox that has a soft-to-the-touch end and stays closed due to a set of magnets. It is also acquired a slot for storing a bank card or two. The one factor I did not like about it’s that it does not convert right into a kickstand for video viewing.
For the Galaxy S21, UK-based Mous makes its Readability Lite clear case with anti-yellowing tech in addition to its Limitless 3.0 case, which is available in a couple of completely different eye-catching kinds (Aramid Fiber is proven on left). They’re all lined with the AiroShock materials that the corporate says delivers glorious safety in a slim design. They do appear sturdy and all embody a lifetime guarantee.
Lifeproof’s Wake case is made out of recycled ocean plastic. It is attractively designed however I would not name it tremendous robust — it is not enclosed on the backside and has 6-foot drop safety. (Notice that some circumstances on this checklist have greater drop-protection rankings.)
