A great case

Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2021

This is a great overall case. It feels sturdy with out bulk and looks sleek with the back design that gives it the feel of the plastic backing of the s21. Though it would have been nice to maybe see some grip elements worked into the design on the back to offer a little more traction. Gripping from the sides feels fine even though the same material is there outside of the power and volume. I also wish they had the blue color from the s20 line up available at launch so hopefully it could be a potential future purchase.

My personal preference is that the corners need to look a little bumpier. And the volume and power buttons could use a little more tactile feel as only the power button has ridges. So you have to go more by muscle memory rather then feeling a raised bump at those locations. Also with the design of the volume up and down you can hit both at the same time if you hit in the middle of the two. A problem that wouldn't exist with a raised portion to hone on on center.

But it looks and feels fine and those are more minor things. It is likely the same as past brand/cases but this one is new for me this time around. It does look like it will fit any screen protector just fine though it does feel a little hard to get the case on the phone. But that might be just due to it being stiff from being brand new since it has become a little more flexible the more I take the phone out. But despite that it does feel snug. I have only used built in protectors or film on my phones but I doubt it would be an issue for tempered glass since Spigen does sell their own glass protectors.

The camera cutout in the back feels like it is designed to handle a screen protector just fine as you see a small gap. If you don't use one it could be a source of dust and debries.

The kickstand is a little flimsy but is the standard design you see on a lot of cases. It only works in portrait mode which is a bit of a bummer. It feels like a port cover would make the case feel "better" and complete the tough look more. But I personally like those design elements where I know some won't.

I won't ding the case for this since most seem to ignore it but it would be nice if there were small holes on a corner/side for a rope, lanyard, or something else to provide a little bit of a safety grip at times. I have rarely used it but as I've grown older and more aware of costs I could see how it could be useful on the boat or when sight seeing around cliffs/drops. But that is what phone insurance and cloud backups are for right?

I love Spigen Icases, this one not so much. I am hard on phones, they fly out of my hands & hit the deck constantly. Despite this, my previous Spigen lasted 5 years with no issues, no cracked screen. They are as tough as they claim to be. This year Spigen, like everyone else, is overly focused on protecting the fancy camera lenses to the exclusion of protecting the front screen. Spigen has created a nice incised a 3mm cut out to protect the camera lenses. My last case had a 3 mm lip at the top and bottom of the phone which lifted the screen up off a flat surface & you could see daylight underneath. Not anymore. The screen now is in total contact with what ever flat surface it lands on. I've lost confidence in their ability to protect ALL of my phone. The side volume & unlock screen buttons are a nice try, however, unless looking at them its a bilt like trying to read brail. The case seems to be built to the same quality especially on the corners. Case has good grip and is still a slim profile. The kick stand may look flimsy but I did not find that to be the case.

Never crack your screen again!

I've had this case for over three years, the S21 is my daily driver and when i take the phone out of the case to clean it, the phone is still in pristine conditions even though the case has taken quite a beating across the years. It has survived falls from the table, from my pocket, even a crash accident i had when riding my scooter. These cases are built to last but also to protect your device and its screen, I'll never buy another brand of phone cases ever unless I stop caring about how good my actual phone looks like in several years from now.

Only thing I regret now is that I didn't buy a pair so I can renew this case after 3 years so I can basically have a new phone!

Got two for me and wife and similar one for s10e. The gun metal color scratched easily and color is fading. That's the only down side. But case is still holding nicely
Love the kick stand.
Just wished they had more colors

3rd Samsung galaxy phone over the years, always come back to this same case. Best case ever. Buy one and you never need a new one. Will outlast the phone even if you abuse it.

The Spigen case worthy of protecting your valued device.

Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2022

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

This case is heavy duty. It does add a bit of bulk and weight to the phone, but it is very well built. The stand is not flimsy and moves and locks into position without issues. For people complaining about it not having the option to be set at an angle - because it is not centered on the back, you can simply rotate the device 180° to get a shallower or steeper viewing angle.
The keys are easy to locate and press, especially the Power key. Buttons work normally. The lip around the screen adds a bit of protection to the device if it gets placed in the screen-down position, so it will not get scratched.
Now, the case does seem a bit tight for the phone, even when the back plastic piece is removed. It is flexible, though so removing the phone shouldn't be troublesome or cause damage to the outter bezel of the phone.
The grip is OK, it takes a bit to learn how tight you should get a hold of the phone when lifting it ir holding it, but it is not terribly slippery, it is easy to hold.

All in all, as a previous owner of the Spigen's Tough Armor case for my Galaxy S5, which survived several falls with no damage to the phone, I am equally satisfied with this one. I hope it will protect my S21 well.

Great Protection with minor issues

Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2021

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

This is my second Spigen Tough Armor case, the first was for my Pixel 3XL. This is a great, sturdy case and will offer all the protection from drops that you need. It does add a bit of bulk compared to some of the other cases out there, but that is understandable with the type of case that it is. The black version shows fingerprints, but they wipe off very easily. I love the built in kickstand feature and I don't have any concerns with how thin it is. The ability to prop up your phone at any time without the need to find something to lean it against is great. It locks in place with a satisfying click. I haven't had any issues with wireless charging on either of the chargers that I have. Wireless power share didn't work with my wife's phone, but both phones were in cases so that might have contributed to it not working. The textured power button helps to differentiate between the power and volume buttons and all three buttons are very clicky. I would recommend this case for anyone looking to protect their phone investment and can live with a bit of a bulkier case.

Bought this case for my wife, as her old case was falling apart. It is very nice. Spigen makes excellent cases. It was not bulky at all. Great, sturdy kickstand. She really likes it.
