    Call me old fashioned but I miss the days of an included screen protector with these Defender Series cases. I know these curved screens are harder to have screen protection but for the price you pay something would be nice. However, I give 4 stars because I have been using the Otterbox Defender Series cases for all my smart phones over the years starting with the 3plus model or whatever you call that first model from the fruit flavored company. They are rugged, nice visual appeal, and solid cases and so far, knock on wood, have not cracked a smartphone screen to date. But the stress I have endure with the no screen protection included these former years is enough to lose that 5th star from me.

    This is the case to get in my opinion if you own a Samsung S21 Ultra. The phone is already $1,000+ so might as get a good protective, and comfortable case for it. I originally purchased the Commuter version which I found uncomfortable and too slippery. The Defender version case offers nearly 100% soft touch materials and is comfortable to use. The only downside is the price, I wish the hard plastic shell piece (not needed to use) was excluded for it to be $10 cheaper.

    I purchased this item after reading a lot of other reviews. It did not disappoint. I like it's versatility. My previous phone cover did not help in my randomly calling people when the phone is in my pocket or in my purse. With this OtterBox for the Samsung S21 Ultra 5G, I have been able to control that. Also, being able to turn the face of the phone inwards has really given me added protection since I exercise with my phone on my waist daily.

    I really like the Otter box phone covers. This one hugs my phone really well and is easy to hold on to as well as protects every area of the phone. If you're looking for a durable cover for your phone, I highly recommend this brand.

    It's an OtterBox. As long as you don't drop your phone screen down on something spiky you're pretty much golden. It doesn't add too much bulk to the already massive s21 ultra and the protection and extra grip from the silicone outer casing is worth it anyway

    Best camera I've ever used on a phone. Many easy user friendly ways to take a picture. I bought this phone before going to a cabin for a getaway vacation and every picture I took came out fantastic. I've shown off each picture I've taken and even recommended the phone based off the picture quality alone. That being said, if you don't really take pictures like that just a regular S21 would most likely be up your alley.

    The name speaks for the product. Its an otterbox. I refuse to carry an expensive phone without protecting it with a case. I have had several otterbox cases and never had an issue. Dropped my phones like any regular overly clumsy person and not a scratch. I was hesitant as the screen is not covered like the typical defender cases. This one has been a pleasant surprise as the phone has taken no damage.

    Protects my phone without being too bulky! Nice design and feels comfortable holding. Wish the charging port did not have that cover OR it was designed differently. Not a huge deal though.

    This Otterbox fits my phone perfectly. It's actually a three- piece case which provides superb protection against breaking if the phone drops. The back part is actually a belt clip which you can remove when not in use.

    Hands down if you own a samsung s21 ultra 5g this is the otterbox you need to get. Symmetry i bought first and didnt work out for me i would never purchase a other one again. But this otterbox defender is pricey but worth every penny. Fots perfect and i feel safe with a fall as long as i have the defender otterbox for this specific phone.

    These are not the most attractive case, and i wish they offered more colors/ styles, but they are VERY effective! Once i dropped my phone in a fire and didnt notice for a minute or so anonce i found it, i had to kick it out of the coals. The bottom of the case had melted to the pont of dripping and it.was smoking. I poured water on it and let it cool down and, to my shock, the phone powered up and worked just fine. They have a great warranty too!

    On my Galaxy S8 I used OtterBox Defender Series. I just upgraded Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G. I did buy other OtterBox but just to have a different color on my S8. Investing in another Defender Series was a no brainer. These products are great. I know I've dropped my phone multiple times on hardwood floors, concrete, etc. No scratches on the phone at all.

    Otterbox defender series there is mobile cases are the best. I only use these products for all my mobile phones. I recommend this product for anyone who's looking for great protection of their mobile device. Some people may think they're pricey but they are worth it to protect a $1000 piece of equipment.
