Samsung Galaxy S21 / S21 Plus / S21 Ultra Case - Otterbox Defender Pro Series
Here is my video review of the Otterbox Defender Pro Series case for the Samsung Galaxy S21. You can buy this starting around $40 at Best Buy to $65 on the official Otterbox website. They obviously make this for the Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus and the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra.
As you can see by the thumbnail, I have the black version in my possession. If you know me, you know I like black cases!
The Defender Series cases are one of the most popular cases that Otterbox has to offer. The Pro version just takes it a step further.
I hope you watch this video to determine if this case is the right for you!

Just got a S21 today with the defender case. The instructions on the box are completely useless and I nearly ruined my screen protector trying to install it. Then I found your video and it was a piece of cake. Thanks for the video.
Awesome review. I've had otterbox defender cases in the past 3 other phones but when I ordered my s21+ I got free cases and didn't get the otterbox and I'm considering getting it now
Just used this video to actually put my phone into this case and I never would have guessed how to do it by myself. Thanks!!
Thanks for the comment! Hope you subbed!
I thought it was Just a two piece case and broke my 1200 hundred phone smfh😮💨
I have the S21+ 5G and mine has gaps all along the top and bottom. Don't know if somebody pulled a switcheroo at Best Buy, or if I'm just an idiot, probably the latter 🙂
Just got one today for my S21+ and I love it! In the past, I had one on my iPhone 11 ProMax and Note 9.
Is there a lip on the screen?
When I bought one, the person that was unlocking the case at Walmart said "this is the best of the best and I have this exact case on my phone" and than she threw her phone across the room and it didn't crack ir break. So we were sold.
Man that Walmart sales person deserves a raise!
@@RoyFlorez I know right!
I've had them on my phones since they came out. They look good and work perfect. I was cutting out some boilers at a power plant and I put I phone in a pocket I forgot had a hole in it and I slid down my pants leg and fell of the scaffold down 60 feet and the phone still lived. I've also ran it over with a forklift and luckily it was facedown but the phone was just fine just cracked the housing that's it. By far my favorite case
plot twist: it was a dummy phone
Thank God for this tutorial I tried to shove it in like it was a slip on case and almost broke it something didn't feel right so I said let me look it up how to get this on, I haven't had an Otter box case like this in a long time so I forgot. Thanks for the tutorial, she's a beast.
Bought this on super sale, got it in the mail and couldn't figure out how to get the rubber off. Watched this video and immediately was able to get it off. Thanks bro.
I got mine at Walmart yesterday $39.98. With the Onn. Screen protector for $17.17 I feel secure. This case seems safe but I feel better with the screen protector. It is the glass type. Fingerprint i.d. perfect!
Got the Spigen s pen case for the S21 Ultra. TY for the video.
Cool review/tutorial. 😀👍
FYI to release the kickstand push down on the tab. Dont force push the clip.
Awesome explanation, thanks for the video buddy! Thumbs up 👍🏽
Thanks! Hope you sub!
I've had this case for s7, droid 3, Droid 4, note 8 note 9, moto z2 force, n s21 ultra. Their the best there is
was informative,thanks!
Good explainer! Made my day easier...
Thanks so much for your help!!
Great review!
Thanks for the tutorial. Great work!!!!!
Thanks, I never had a otter case so it took me like 10 mins before I realize I need KZhead lol
tThanks for your help. I bought mine on Amazon
I have one on my Galaxy S21 and it's the best case for any phone you have, I also had one for my Pixel 4xl as well!!
I do like it. It's a little thick for my liking but it's damn good case!
I like the otterbox but I do wish all four side of the case were lifted like the s10e otterbox because the way the case is feels like the curve s10 and s20 cases for the brand
Awesome review! Swapping out my S9 for s21 and have been a loyal Spigen user for years but I like this case. What do you have as your lock screen background? That's a nice looking phone.
Hi, which one you would recommend; defender or commuter?
Which tempered glass screen protectors are compatible with the Defender Pro for the Galaxy S21 plus?
I love the case use it with film screen and camera protector only down fall is using the kick stand in portrait otherwise 10 out of 10 for quality, protection, functionality and confidence in the case doing its job to level where im an engineer ill put my phone inside a high speed machine to use the slow motion camera. have the convenience its stable and protected
This Otterbox Defender Pro Series is really good.
Thank you for this video, I couldn't get mine off my phone lol. I wish it came with a glass cover!
Thanks im going to buy it
I got this on eBay last week for $16 and change. It's a strong, well-made case, but I'm not so sure it will protect the screen if I happen to drop it. The Otterbox case on my old iPhone SE had raised edges all around, and I felt it protected the screen more.
I had to modify my Otter box defender case,I found it was interfering with my screen protector causing it to lift up slightly in the corners,Just file the inner case to remove about half a millimetre giving enough clearance.
Would it work if I put the anty spy screen protector with the otterbox?
always wondered why no one being worrying about there is no any soft material on the inner sides of case besides the back
Just a quick note mate. All S21's have a screen protector pre-installed. Nice review. Cheers from Melbourne.
Well they might in your country but they definitely don't have them pre-installed in the United States. I can confirm that 100% that mine didn't out of the box. Appreciate the comment and I appreciate the kind words! I hope I gained a sub from you!
i had 3 s21 ultra 2 from AT&T that we returned 1 from Tmobile and a replacement from Tmobile all 4 didn't come with screen protectors
Here in Canada, ours come with rhe screen protector and snapdragonnnn
Hell they do!
300 bucks later I have a new screen,a 3/8 socket rolled dropped less then 4" cracked the screen,not even a year old
What wallpaper is that and where did you get it from?
Make sure you get the zagg invisible shield for it too. I've had to recently upgrade to the note 21 because my note 9 had the otter box case for that model and although it does protect it from drops it doesn't protect anything from being dropped onto the screen, which is what happened to my 9 and consequently broke the screen and rendered the digitizer ineffective. If not for the stylus which was able to communicate with phone and i was able to retrieve all the info i needed to transfer to my new phone, otherwise a regular galaxy s with no stylus would have been lost completely.
Where do you get the Zagg?
Zagg? Where did you find it? Google didn't help...
Love the vid❤
Nice Review 👍👍💪
Dang that looks solid!!
Yeah it's pretty good
No cap
does your phone already have a screen protector on it or do you not need one for the otterbox defender cases?
I have dropped my Defender case several times on asphalt and concrete from moderate waist or chest height no screen . Note 9 and never had a problem. However if you tend to put it in your pocket or do other things that could scratch it it would probably be a good idea.
Hope otterbox make symmetry version 2 for s21 with camera cutout like this defender series
I doubt they will do that but would be cool!
I find it unsatisfying that the sides of the smartphone aren't very protected. These are the first places where the smartphone's screen is being broken, and there's still 1mm almost 2mm atmost, it's not very cool. Still the big funky box makes it very impressionnable
What is that lock sceen u have?
nice. thank you
Thanks
Can I still use a pop socket? I just really like the feel of a pop socket when I hold my phone. Just feels like extra security, since I think I drop my phone way too often.
From everything that I have seen, you should be able to use a popsocket on this case. I know OtterBox even makes a popsocket case but it's not this specific case but I believe it's their commuter if I'm not mistaking.
@@RoyFlorez its their symmetry case, they have a model with a pop socket built in and another model that's just a case.
If you had to only choose one, Defender Pro or Commuter?
If I had to pick between the two, I would say Defender. They're almost close to the same thickness. Obviously the Defender is a tad bit thicker but it's that nice grippy material all around.
thanks
I found mine new on Amazon for $4!
I have an S21 Ultra and the defender case only fits 1 way which is unlike any other previous defender case I have owned with my other Samsung phones . This allows for the mistake of putting the phone in the holster incorrectly and possibly having it fall out. Disappointed !
is all over amazon
Is the belt add on optional?
It just comes with it. You don’t have to use it if you don’t want to at all.
Whats the difference between the commuter and defender??
Commuter is a thinner case with a slick smooth backing so its easy to go in and out of a pocket. Defender is a bit bulkier and includes a belt clip holster which also doubles as a stand.
Can you use Samsung Pay with the Otterbox?
Absolutely! Good question
This or UAG Monarch? For me UAG have better design, but this isn't bad too.
Going off of design, etc I would have to probably say UAG
@@RoyFlorez what about overall protection ; who wins on that point? Just received my s21+, prior phone was s10 with defender case. Thanks!
@@jameswconforti4248 the OtterBox cases definitely do a great job for the overall protection. You'll need to get a tempered glass of some sort if you want the screen protected even more. I also really like the UAG cases when it comes to rugged protection.
What is the difference between this and the defender?
More grip I think
It works with a glass screen protector?
Yes
@@RoyFlorez thanks for answer🍺
Does it work with wireless chargers
Yes! I do a wireless charging test in the video as well.
Can I still use a screen protector
Yes!!!
Which screen and camera protectors are best? I have bought so many off of amazon but they all come up at the bottom of screen and I'm so fed up. Don't like the glass protectors but if they work I'd look into it.
I made the mistake a year ago and didn't buy a phone case for my Samsung phone ended up breaking it 3 days later... this time veggie I even take it to work I ordered one of these no way am I breaking my new S21!!
My s 21 5 g is not fitting in the case
If it the right one? Mine fits snug
Why are you flipping us off with your middle finger? If you're gonna point, use your index...
Yup, that's exactly what I'm doing! Screw everyone that watches my videos!!! On a serious note, I think that's the only video that I've made where I'm using my middle finger so much, LOL. Not really sure why but funny that you pointed that out.
@@RoyFlorez very well handled the OP is a total asshat.
Why does the S21 5G have 3 cameras on the back, is it infrared to video in the dark?
They’re just the standard cameras (wide, ultra wide, telephoto)
This case sucks it doesn't give you 360 protection. Your phone has 6 sides it protects 5 the most important side the Beautiful gorgeous screen that Samsung is known for is not protected at all.If you use if you use cellhelmet liquid protector the 1st time you drop it and it scratches even if it just scratches the protector... It's permanent with no way to remove it!!!! Do yourself a favor and get a case with a Built-in screen why Otterbox does not offer this is beyond me!
Does not protect your phone! I have this case and I dropped the phone on the floor and my display was broken! Don't buy if you don't want to regret it!
Exact same comment on another OtterBox video....so which case is it?
@@RoyFlorez yes because it is the same case model only as for another phone model. Mine is Samsung S21.
@@cosmin6155 right
I work construction, and I disagree with you. I've dropped my s21 + a few times, and didn't get a scratch. Most of my co- workers use Otterbox Defender cases.
@@PJMack-ll3oh thank you for this comment. I need to get one for my boyfriend who works construction & is forever dropping his phones!
Just go to 5:55 that's all you need to do first.
I would rather buy one that is made from new plactic. Recycled plactic is junk.
Lol, a whole review on just one case.
Too long!
