Even though the Galaxy S21 is made from a polycarbonate shell, and now has a flat display, it’s still worth the money to get a case and protect your investment. Even though the Galaxy S21 is only $800. You still don’t want to end up with a shattered screen.

Samsung LED Wallet Cover
Price: $59.99Buy: Samsung.com
This is a popular case for the Galaxy S21, one that Samsung has been making for several years. It’s the LED Wallet Cover. The basic premise here is the fact that it can hold your cards – perhaps those that Samsung Pay doesn’t work with. And it has LED lights on the screen to show you the time. So you don’t need to open the cover to see what time it is. Samsung offers the LED Wallet Cover in every color that the Galaxy S21 is available in. That includes violet, pink, black and gray. So you can match it to your phone. Samsung LED Wallet Cover - Samsung.com
Samsung Rugged Protective Case
Price: $39.99Buy: Samsung.com
The Samsung Rugged Protective Case is exactly what it sounds like, a protective case from Samsung. It’s thicker, because of that, and has some nice grip on the sides, so you are less likely to drop your phone, which is always important. Additionally, the Samsung Rugged Protective Case has a built-in kickstand on the back. So you can prop your phone up to watch content on the go. It comes in gray and black colors. This is a case for those that are prone to dropping their smartphones a lot. As this will provide some incredible protection. Samsung Rugged Protective Case - Samsung.com
Spigen Tough Armor
The Spigen Tough Armor is another one of those cases that is pretty popular and a good option for the Galaxy S21. This is a somewhat rugged case for the Galaxy S21, which will provide plenty of protection for your new smartphone. It is a dual-layer case which has a soft inner layer and a hard shell that will absorb impact. It also happens to be one of the cheapest cases on this list.
ESR Clear Case
Those that are fans of clear cases are going to love this case from ESR. This is a clear TPU case. So it’s not super thick either, making for a really great option for the Galaxy S21, since it is already a fairly large smartphone. But on the flip side, don’t expect the ESR Clear Case to offer a whole lot of protection for your smartphone. Since it is pretty thin, with a fairly small lip over the display.
Totallee Clear Case
The Totallee Clear Case is one of my favorite cases on any smartphone. Not so much because it’s clear, but because of how thin it is. This is the thinnest case you can get for the Galaxy S21. That means protection is at a minimum, but it does make it easier to hold onto, and it doesn’t make the phone bulky. That’s important since the Galaxy S21 is already a fairly large smartphone.
Samsung Leather Cover
Price: $49Buy: Samsung.com
Protect your smartphone in style with Samsung’s Leather Case option for the Galaxy S21. The Leather Cover is available in two colors: black and brown. These cases look really good, and do add some bulk to your Galaxy S21, so think about that before you purchase. But after months of use, the leather is going to look incredible, once it has weathered. It’s a great looking case that will look ever better over time. Samsung Leather Cover - Samsung.com
Samsung Silicone Cover
Price: $29.99Buy: Samsung.com
This Silicone Cover is one of my favorite first-party cases from Samsung. It looks amazing and feels really good in the hand. It also adds some grip which is important. However, the Silicone Cover does attract dust and dirt like a magnet. So it’s probably smart to get a lighter color, that won’t be as noticeable. This one comes in more colors though. Including Violet, Pink, Gray and Black. The colors that the Galaxy S21 series is available in. So it can really match up with your smartphone. Which is pretty neat.

Spigen Ultra Hybrid
This is another crowd-favorite case for the Galaxy S21. It’s a clear case from Spigen, which is really great looking. But it also has a kickstand included. Which is really great for the Galaxy S21, since it does have that 6.8-inch Quad HD+ AMOLED display, which looks absolutely stunning. This clear case does have a bit more protection than the others on this list. Since the edges and sides are reinforced.
Ringke Onyx
The Ringke Onyx is a really great looking case from Ringke, that does a really great job of protecting your smartphone, as well as keeping it looking stylish. It has reinforced corners and sides, which is typically where the phone hits when it is dropped. So it’ll provide more protection for your new Galaxy S21. It even has a similar finish to the “naked” Galaxy S21, which is really cool.
