Not Quite Right for Me
I like the looks of the Case, although I would have enjoyed more color choices. The big problem for me was that it was VERY slick to hang onto, and too heavy. I never drop my phone, but with a few minutes, I had dropped the phone twice, and it slid off a sofa (it was not by the edge. I had to send it back. I thought of replacing it with the Symmetry, however when I called customer service, they told me that the Symmetry had the same type of plastic, and did not have the rubbery silicone side grip. As for recommending for friend, I guess it would depend on what they are looking for. As for me, this isn't it.

Well designed
Good lip around screen in order to protect it, without hindering any use of the screen or side use gestures. Best button design yet. Only gripe is that the lower part of the sides of the case can be Abit slick to hold on to.

Great protection, my second OtterBox Commuter
I upgraded from a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 to an S21+, and I am happy with this second OtterBox Commuter. It isn't too bulky. I just wish it would be offered in the Ballet Way Pink color, but I got mine in Black (but set a pink wallpaper and icons on my phone. Still, this was a great purchase and I would recommend it to anyone.

Otterbox is great
This is the 3rd otterbox commuter case I've had and I love them, not too bulky. The 4th otterbox case. When I get a new phone I always buy otterbox.

Best phone protection ever
I went with the Commuter Series because it gives lots of protection without too much bulk. I wish it was available in more colors but understand with all the phones coming out it would be a nightmare We have had Otterbox phone protectors for years.

Otter Box is the Best
This is my 2nd Otter Box. The first one was for my Samsung S10 and it a fantastic job of protecting my phone. My current Oteer Box is for my new Samsung S21 5G. I am not disappointed, it is an excellant product. I wouldn't buy any other.

Not my favorite
Have used Otterbox on my last 4 phones and generally love them. The S21+ commuter though is turning into the exception. Love the size and overall feel but after only about 4 monthesboth top corners have started to no longer form to the case and instead stick out

Protection without being bulky!
This is my third or fourth Otterbox Commuter case. I like them and trust them to protect my expensive Galaxy phones. I would like a belt clip holster for it.

Maybe the best case that I have ever had!
I have had it for about a month and so far I'm very satisfied with it. It is light, stylish and yet feels firm in my hand. Otterbox also gave me a promotional discount so it was a terrific buy

Pretty good case
Overall it's a really good case, with just a couple of minor issues. First the case is pretty slippery, I've used a commuter case on my last 4 phones and I don't remember them being this slippery, I'm hoping it gets better over time. The other issue is after just a week and a half of use the left side of the charging port cover already doesn't like to stay latched.

I won't protect my phone with anything else!
I've purchased cases from other companies but they could never compare to the quality of the Otterbox! I'd go out of my way to get the case of my choice! I've owned the Commuter case for my last 3 smartphones, Samsung Galaxy: S5, S9 & S21 Plus and I'll buy it for my next phone when the time comes! Thanks for the superb quality and never stop making cases.!

Stretches out near volume buttons
I was excited to buy this case for my Galaxy S21 plus as I have had Otterbox cases on previous phones and had a good experience. Unfortunately, this case doesn't live up to my previous experiences. The case only lasted two months before I needed a warranty replacement. The edge above the volume up button became distorted/stretched out causing a gap between my phone and the case. I feel this is do to there not being any reinforcement on that edge since that part of the phone is only the silicone/ rubber material. This unfortunately is happening to the replacement which is only a month and a half old. My husband, who purchased his phone after I did, also got the same case but for the Galaxy S21 Ultra and the same thing is happening to his case. The only good thing about this case is the warranty. If you are willing to pay for a replacement every 2 months then this is the case for you if not stay away and get something else. Both my husband and I will be looking to replace this case with something else.

GLAD TO HAVE AN OTTERBOX AGAIN!
Wanted to protect my new Galaxy S21+ & this Otterbox case fits perfectly & will protect my investment. Still fits easily in pocket. Have had Otterbox cases in the past & they hold up very well & protect your phone when dropped. Just wish there were some other colors.

A good case for your phone
I like the style and color of this case. It protects it well, I have dropped my phone a couple of times and it is fine. The fit could be just a little more snug. I am able to take the phone out of the case without having to take the shell off. I have had other Otterbox cases that fit nice and snug where you had to work at getting it out of the case. But overall I like the case.

Nightmare
They sent half a case, the clear front part was missing. Can't get anyone on the phone. This was just a waste of money. I suggest everyone look somewhere else for a case. It really is a shame because I've good luck in the past with Otterbox.

The Commuter for my S21+ (6.7' Does not fit
I bought 2 yesterday because I have always love otterboxes but the S21+ 6.7" rubber material that goes inside would only wrap around the top of my screen and does not fit around the edges of my screen. Also the volume buttons aligned. I tried both cases and same issue, i also went back tot he store and tried the one on the shelf, and same issue.
Am I the only having this issue? Is this how its supposed to fit?
From the photos you'll think just pull the rubber over the screen, but trust me ive had multiple people try.
I have had otterboxes on 2 other phones and they always fit perfect and had a full lip around the whole screen not just the top and bottom.

The top of my case No longer fits. It's flexing out away from the phone. The top plastic piece isn't staying on the rubber. It lasted 6 months.

Second Review Same Issue
I bought my Otterbox maybe 1 yr ago from your company and really loved it. Slim and protective. I have Galaxy S22+ 5G
The only issue was the same fault that was mentioned in a previous review. That is the upper right hand corner started to come slightly loose. Not enough material there. That interfered with the two volume buttons. But I've bought a 2nd one today from customer rep Kyle who handled things perfect.

It's a good case
I got two of these cases for myself and my husband. We love them - it makes the phone easy to hold, and we both love the charge port cover. It makes it easier to have at the poolside - in case the phones get splashed, we don't have to worry about any water getting into the charging port. We've had these cases for just over a year, and the only thing we're not happy about is the upper right side - for some reason it has separated from the phone, and we do not take the case off from there. We're not sure why it happened, but it happened to both of our phone cases, so maybe it's a possible defect? It showed up about 5-6 months after we had the cases. That aside, we do love the cases.
