Speck Presidio2 Grip for the S21 Ultra 5G
The Speck Presidio2 Grip has easily identifiable raised lines along the back and sides of the case, but with this model those raised lines are hard plastic material and not soft-touch silicone. The case still provides a solid tactile feel, but is not quite as good as previous models.
The shell has a matte finish so that helps with holding onto your phone too. Three color options are available for this $44.95 case.
Corner reinforcement and mic openings
The Presidio2 Grip is designed for 13 feet drop protection with strategically designed ridges inside the case and corner protection.
There are openings for the mics on the top so you should not experience any degradation in video capture.
Best side buttons ever
The distinct side buttons on the Presidio2 Grip are some of the best I've seen on any case. You will not mistakenly push the wrong button with this case and can easily find the button you want in the dark.

Upper back on the Presidio2 Grip
The camera array has a raised hard plastic frame to offer some protection when you set your phone down. The back view also shows how the tactile lines extend towards the middle of the back.
Presidio Perfect-Mist for the Galaxy S21 5G
The Presidio Perfect-Mist case offers a minimalist design with serious drop protection. The back and sides of the case have a soft-touch surface so it is easy to hold onto your phone in this case.
The inside of the case is rigid with glossy interior. Openings for the camera and light are perfectly cut so there is no impact in performance.
Wireless charging, wireless payments, and reverse wireless charging all work perfectly with this case.
Lower openings
The USB-C port and speaker are open in the Presidio Perfect-Mist case. The thickness of the case is also visible in this image.
Raised edges for screen protection
The edges of the Speck cases rise just above the display so you can set your phone down on a table and know the glass is not resting on the surface.

Speck Presidio Perfect-Clear for the S21 5G
If you want to show off one of the lovely colors of the Galaxy S21 phones, then the Speck Presidio Perfect-Clear is a case to consider. It's available for $39.95.
The case has a clear guarantee so you can trust it will stay clear for years to come, which is very important for a clear case. The Phantom Violet looks lovely through the clear case with the rose gold edges shining through.

Camera opening and raised buttons
The Presidio Perfect-Clear case fits very tightly onto the phone and as you can see it is molded perfectly for the Galaxy S21 5G.
The Speck case satisfies the Designed for Samsung criteria and functionality is perfect. The clear finish is also hard so the case could slide down an incline if you set it down on an uneven surface.
