With its 6.7-inch screen, the Galaxy S21 Plus promises to be well worth the wait. Protect your new handset with our pick of the best cases and covers.
Boasting a 6.7-inch screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and a powerful Snapdragon 888 processor, there’s plenty to look forward to when it comes to the Galaxy S21 Plus. If you’ve already pre-ordered Samsung’s latest flagship, the last thing you want is to risk damaging it, which is why it makes sense to invest in a protective case for your new device. There are already some great options available for the S21 Plus, and we’ve rounded up a few of them here, whether you’re looking for a slim clear case to show off your Phantom Violet handset, or a leather folio case that doubles up as a wallet. A leather wallet is a classic case that’ll never go out of style — and with this one you’re opting for a brand you can trust, too. Olixar’s leather case has a leather effect outer lining and a supersoft microfiber interior to keep your phone’s screen safe from scratches and fingerprints. The leather is padded for extra protection, but the case is still slim enough to slip easily into a pocket. Inside there are slots for your cards and documents, so you can leave your wallet at home. The case folds back on itself to create a kickstand for hands-free calls, watching movies, or browsing the web. It comes in brown or tan, and for $11, you could afford to pick up one in each color. OtterBox cases are renowned for their high level of protection, and the Defender Series Pro is no exception. With its polycarbonate shell and holster and synthetic rubber slipcover, this case doesn’t only offer the ultimate protection, it’s also a green choice too as it’s made with over 50% recycled plastic. There’s no need to worry about germs, as a silver-based antimicrobial additive is woven into the case, protecting against bacteria and inhibiting antimicrobial growth 24/7/365. With port covers to keep dust and dirt out of ports and jacks, the Defender Series Pro provides 4x MIL-STD-810G 516.6 drop protection, with a rugged design and comfortable grip that makes it less likely to slip through your fingers in the first place. It’s compatible with wireless charging and comes in Berry Potion Pink, Varsity Blues, or black. This clear case from ESR lets you show off your new S21 Plus while keeping it safe. Slim, light, and flexible, it’s shock-resistant and boasts a non-slip finish, great if you’re prone to dropping your phone. Raised edges around the screen and camera protect both from scratches and knocks. There’s no need to take this case off to wirelessly charge your new phone either. Cases don’t have to be flashy to keep your phone safe from harm, as this translucent case from Bodyguardz proves. Don’t be fooled by its low-key design though — it offers up to 10 feet of drop protection, with Unequal technology, the same technology used by athletes to absorb impact, and Ultra-Fresh antimicrobial protection that keeps your phone safe from bacteria and microbial growth.
