    Inside the Organicore case

    While I am a fan of different cases, I hate when I can't find someone to take and old case and end up throwing it in the garbage. The Organicore case for the S21 and S21 Ultra incorporates material from plants and is 100% compostable. In addition, for every Organicore case sold a tree is planted.

    The case provides 8-feet drop protection, raised edges for screen protection, support for wireless charging and 5G connectivity, and includes a lifetime guarantee.

    The buttons on the right side are distinct and easy to activate. The case has an ample opening for the rear cameras and a raised edge to protect the cameras.

    The case comes in Charcoal color for $39.99. It has a matte finish with a soft-touch texture too.

Multi-directional elements are present along the edges of the case to help you hold onto your phone.

    Antimicrobial treatment is present to keep your case fresh too.

    Distinct buttons on the Incipio Grip

    I love the buttons on the Incipio Grip since they are well-spaced and stand apart from the right edge. You will have no issues activating the volume or power button on the Samsung Galaxy S21 devices.

    The Incipio Duo case is a dual-layer protective case for the Galaxy S21. The inner layer is soft-touch silicone with a hard shell outer layer.

    The inside back of the inner layer is designed to help absorb and dissipate shock when dropped while also protecting the back finish of your phone.

    Incipio Duo in Salsa Red

    The Incipio Duo case is available in Black, Indigo Blue, and Salsa Red for $29.99. The color is present on the hard outer layer while the soft silicone inner layer is black. I love the looks of the Salsa Red case on the black Galaxy S21 Ultra.

    The case is designed for 12-feet drop protection with Impact Strut protection tech in the dual layers. Antimicrobial treatment is also provided to eliminate 99.9% of surface bacteria.

    Bottom openings are present for the USB-C port and speaker. There are small nubs on the back to make your S21 level with the large camera array when set down on a surface.

    Separating the two layers of the Duo case

    While the Galaxy S21 can be inserted into the case, you can also pull the two layers of the Duo case apart to see the inner silicone layer and outer hard shell.

    The hard outer shell has a soft touch finish so that your ability to hold onto the phone is improved when in the case.

    There is a cutout along the top of the front for the upper stereo/headset speaker while the edges rise above the sides to help protect the display when you set the phone face down on a surface.

    The Survivor Parametric pattern design is found on the interior of the case to help reduce the force of an impact. Ample openings are provided for all ports, mics, and speakers.

  • Clear Survivor Strong

    Clear Survivor Strong

    The Phantom Violet S21 looks great in a Clear Survivor Strong case. The back hard clear material is also scratch-resistant. This is important for clear cases as they tend to scratch easily and lose their luster.

    The cutout for the camera is also reinforced to provide extra protection for your cameras.
