Can anyone recommend a good case that also covers the s-pen and charging port? Someone asked in the comments of another video here on my channel if I knew of a case like this. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Husband has used Otterboxes exclusively for years as he's the king of drops & destructive talent. I used to have one as well and can vouch for the superior prtotection & quality. I do hink there's not enough attention to what appeals to women. They have a few cases with colors, but it all feels like an after thought. Detailed video.
I use the defender case for my note 20 plus, great case. I work in a oil and gas industry and I use my phone for work and this case works amazingly. Great video
Since people are coming here looking for Dome Glass compatibility, I've already installed between 60-70 of them on phones. Cases that work without any doubt, even if the protector isn't put on perfect: ALL Spigen cases. Tough Armor is the only one that will depend on how well you installed it. ALL Supcase cases. Same as above for the Unicorn Beetle Pro. ALL UAG cases. Same again for the Monarch. ALL Incipio cases. Same again with the Dual Pro. ALL Samsung Cases. In the last 2 years, Otterbox compatibility has gone down, it seems as though they're trying to design against Dome Glass to sell their garbage Alpha Glass. I personally use Spigen Tough Armor. I used to put Commuter / Defender Pro on all my phones but in my experience, the times I have broken a Dome Glass screen protector, it's been due to a direct hit on an unlevel area. The case I chose didn't matter at all. I've never had the Tough Armor fail me in any area regarding the actual phone itself.
The best combination I have found for the Samsung Curved display is the Defender Pro case, and the Zagg Glass Curve screen protector. They work great together in my experience.
i love the fact that he went to the extent of showing ever kind of use for these cases, i hate that most people that review cases are just brushing over them, like its a $2000 phone, i want to know if i should buy the case and if it actually protects the most expensive parts of the phone, aka the camera, as much as i was thinking of the commuter and symmetry they just dont cover the camera enough for the price, as he said its a flush type of design, which is a but of a worry you want that little bit more of a lip on the back for the camera, but you can also just put it face down, then again if you want to see your notifications you should be able to put it on its back without having to worry about the camera at all. either way appreciate the time and effort taken to make this video, really a lot better if not the best for cases. and hopefully the defender case isnt super fat and massive considering how big the phone is already
Thank you so much for this video... I actually just recently ordered the note 20 ultra along with the Outterbox Defender Pro which will arrive tomorrow. With that being said, this video really helped me get an idea of what my phone will look like in the case I've chosen. What other screen protectors do you recommend for the ultra to along with the defender pro? Thanks for everything and looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Thank you! And you are very welcome. I’m happy I could help. For now. All I can recommend for the Defender is glass fusion+ by invisible shield. Thank you again.
Great video, I did notice the same at the bottom of my defender pro. What I did is I took my little dremel tool and notched out the corners and a little along the bottom and top to make it more case friendly with tempered glass. Over all great case.
Thanks man! The Commuter has been unavailable in Canada and I've been trying to decide between the other three. This made the decision making process a breeze!
I’ve had otter box on every phone I’ve owned. Best cases period. My phones are all flawless. Currently have the Pro on my Note Ultra. On the very first day I knocked my phone off my night stand with my back pack and it fell at an awkward angle striking the base of the night stand and the backpack on top. I thought I was screwed. I ended up with a small crack to the very top of the Whitestone screen protector. Zero damage to my phone! I’m certain it would have completely smashed my phone if I didn’t have the protection on that I did. Otter box with Whitestone is bulletproof.
Hey, I wanted to get the pro and whitestone for the ultra but I wasn't sure with the problems he described. Have you experienced any of that, and if so what solutions have you found?
@@BrantleyJd I adjusted the second screen to set a little bit lower than the first. Its not 100% where its meant to be by design but by doing that there is zero interfering from the Otterbox case. It was such a slight adjustment down from the top of the screen you don't even see it with the case on. I can't see how anyone would use this phone without a case. I get too many false touches without and I'm sure it would be smashed in about 7 minutes.
I've used invisible shield with samsung galaxy note 2 and it didn' protect the glass from drops. Other than that it was nice. So I switched to glass once and once I bought note8 I've used whitestone since the glass is curved andnother curved screen protectors don't stick as well. For cases, well I love the purple/clear one from supcase, I think it was UB style, the one with purple covers and clear back. I dropped my phone once on concrete with small stones and my phone didn't have a scratch so I wpuld stick with them. Sadly for note 20 ultra they didn't have a purple one so I just took the plain black one. So mainly the protective qualities without being too bulky like otterbox's defender is what attracts me. Also thr color purple lol. I don't like the flip covers or anything, just plain one piece case that covers everything else except the screen.
Simo Portti, thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. Take a look at the Dbrand Grip. You can put a purple skin on it I believe, and it is a super nice slim protective case.
The new Commuter and Symmetry cases are literal landfill. Let me explain: I currently daily a Note 9 and have a Note 20 Ultra on order, I have a Symmetry and a Commuter case for my Note 9 and they are excellent cases on the Note 9, HOWEVER, I ordered the Commuter for the Note 20 Ultra I have on order and they REALLY cheaped out on the construction and durability of the case, the Commuter for the Note 20 is WAY thinner than the version for the Note 9, and the Symmetry for the Note 9 has a rubber backing on the inside of the case that the version for the Note 20 DOESN'T HAVE. Considering how expensive Otterbox cases are, I am very disappointed, and after seeing the decline in build quality of the Otterbox cases in this video I will not be giving them my money. These phones are way too expensive for these kinds of shenanigans. I'll be looking for my protection elsewhere for this generation of phones.
Dude! Thank you so much for sharing your experience. This helps tremendously. You said you have the new commuter on order. Please let us know what you think when you get the new one in hand. I’m super curious. There is something about the new commuter that I really like. I thought it felt a little on the cheaper side when I first used it as well, which is why I was torn between the Symmetry and the Commuter. I really think the symmetry is more than enough protection. It may not be as protective as the past versions, but I think OtterBox wants to make their cases appeal to a larger consumer base. They have to be careful to not compete with the defender line of cases. You get what I mean? They have this amazing case like the defender. So they are using the other cases to capture and retain more buyers. We’ll have to see if their new direction sells and appeals to their current customers. It’s not right to leave their current Otters behind, but they must keep innovating. People and mobiles change so fast. It’s tough to know the right move to make. To be more direct with your thinking. Maybe they are trying to save a little money. This might be why they have used cheaper or less material. I just don’t know if this is true. We will see in the future if they receive some backlash or reduction in sales. In this case they will start giving better materials. All this aside. I think it’s true you should go with the brand and case that you feel the most secure with. Please let us know what brand and case you use. Thank you again for sharing your detailed thoughts. It took a lot of effort to do so. We all benefit from this. Please live like you are blessed and take care.
@@SomethingMobile you should consider it for a review. I'm sure you'll like it, the built in stand is awesome, has better angles for phone positioning, keeps you from having to take the belt clip off your waist to use the stand and you can use it while holding your phone easy so it doesn't slip and drop.
I had one on my note8 for 3 years and I loved it. It was also compatible with dome glass. Sadly with the note 20 ultra the unicorn beetle exo isn't compatible with the dome glass.
Thank you SO much for your presentation. It was the best one - by far - of the ones I have seen so far. You even showed me something the others didn't even mention/notice .... That the holder clip ROTATES! Why did noone else even mention that!? That is a VERY useful function to know (the average person doesn't know that ... and doesn't want to risk breaking it by trying to turn something that looks fixed). So - all in all - thank you so much for the work you have put into making this a fantastic, helpful, informative, professional presentation for all the people out there! SUPERB!!!
@Prof Toast Gaming, thank you for sharing your experience. There a a few cases that have this same problem. The opening is just a little too big. Yeah, thanks for sharing.
I've been using otterbox for years, imo its the best protection cases for phones. A close second being Pelican cases. I currently use the Otter box Defender Pro case on my Note 20 Ultra. Its super good. Great video!!
The Pelican Shield is the best case of all in term of protection. It is better than Otterbox defender pro in drop protection. The problem of Pelican is that they are not doing the Pelican Shield for all the model of smarthphone. They only make that case for iPhone and Samsung Galaxy S10, Very sad for that. I have several rugged case for my iPhone 11 Pro Max, and trust me, the Pelican Shield is a tank, that case has a incredibly bounce in the drop and can survive anything. I have Otterbox defender, supcase, and a lot of good rugged case, but Pelican Shield is the best of all. Sorry for my English
@@wilfredogarciagonzalez2889 Ah, Pelican is one of my favorite cases as well. I got to eventually try the shield hopefully they make one for the note 20 ultra. Thanks for the recommendation.
@@joshuawilliams8319 The Pelican Shield is the best case. It would definitely be great if Pelican make one for the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 ultra. The Pelican Shield when I ordered it for my iPhone 11 Pro Max, I had other rugged cases, including the Otterbox defender, Supcase, Poetic, and at first when I opened the box and put the Pelican Shield on the iPhone, I was not impressed by the case not at all, and I thought Otterbox Defender Pro was better. After I used the Pelican Shield for a while, the cell phone was accidentally dropped on several occasions and I realized how protective it is and the bounce it produces when the cell phone is dropped. It's impressive how the Pelican Shield handles drops. After I observe the case well, I can tell you that its design was well thought out and analyzed because on the back it is a polycarbonate with aramid fiber and on the edges it has an excellent quality rubber, then on the front it has very good raised lips although not as much as the Otterbox Defender Pro, but big enough to handle frontal drops. In the front frame its material is hard and is combined with rubber. The front internal part where the cell phone screen touches is a soft rubber (different from Otterbox defender pro that what touches the screen is a plastic frame) which guarantees that in a frontal fall the cell phone screen does not suffer external and internal damages , for example in the mega pixels of the display. On the inside of the case it is combined with some rubber edges that guarantee that in a fall the cell phone is protected since the case cushions the impact. In the corners the material is a rigid aramid fiber that bounces when it makes contact with the ground. Anyway, I will tell you that the Pelican Shield in my opinion is the most protective case I have ever seen, which is sad that Pelican Shield has not known how to promote that case so that it has more fame and sales. Sorry for my English
Great Info and delivery! But I have a few concerns that seem to be overlooked or minimized reviews. No offense intended But, The UAG plasma case has ok upper and lower lip protection( Much less than the Otterbox defender.) Plus, it has virtually no side lip protection , and non existent interior shock absorption. ( those molded in designs or hexes do nothing but add style. ) the corners do have extra air pockets to absorb drops. I have yet to see any proof of these Military grade ratings that are put to the test, and the ground isnt simply a clean floor from a 4-5 ft drop. However, They do LOOK great, ( plasma ash, ice ) and The newer solid color versions. The monarch, is 50.00, and doesnt stand a chance against the Otterbox defender in levels of protection, but they dont look as nice. So, a person needs to spend 40.00 extra for the tempered glass when using minimal lip cases..or face the chance of shattering the screen when its dropped on a street and a piece of gravel is there to say goodbye to the bare glass screen. whether its gorilla glass 6 or 7.
@S. philips, thank you, and no offense taken! Let’s get to this. The Defender is my first choice of any case, because I purchase for function and protection. The case I would not choose over a plasma case is the OtterBox Commuter. That’s the case I was meaning to refer to in the video. Just to be clear... The Defender is the first case one should buy. If not only to try it first. It surprised me to no end. I’ve dropped my iPhone in a UAG. The phone seemed to bounce lol. The sides of the Monarch for the Note 10+ are plenty high to provide protection. The plasma are a bit low, but that’s what I like about it really. It’s a good slim but protective case. I really do feel that UAG makes a good drop protective case. The back of the case being so solid absorbs the impact so the phone screen doesn’t. The corners have lots of outer rubber to help with this as well. Please give UAG a try if you haven’t already. The style isn’t for everyone. Due to it’s design. If you want a tight fitting, protective, yet slim design case. The plasma might be worth a try. The one thing to keep in mind is the warranty program that OtterBox has. It’s hard to beat the Support team you get with OtterBox as well. Simply top notch. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. I really appreciate you taking the time. You are awesome!🙂👍
@Javy vet., Maybe Otterbox saw my video and adjusted the mold. Lol. Not likely I know. Really though. You purchased recently. So maybe you got a better fitting batch. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. 🙂🤙
The defender case does not have a built in screen protector. You will need to but a screen protector. There is a video on my channel talking about screen protectors. Thank you for your question.
The old otter box cases were solid, I've had mine on my Note 20 Ultra for maybe 6 months and the tabs are broken, rubber ripped. For the money I would def grab something else, if it was cheaper then its justified. I have the defender case and you will outer rubber casing just doesn't keep shape. I want to get another one but I'm iffy on it.
OtterBox has a really good warranty. Please get a replacement through OtterBox. They'll hook you up. I think it'll cost like $10 for shipping or something.
@@SomethingMobile Hey brother thanks for the reply! I don't want to go through the same thing again so I'm just seeing what is out there I'm probably just going to buy a cheap case because I'm tired of spending 90 to 100 bucks on a case and then the cheap case last 😂😂
@@oki_m135i, you are welcome friend. It’s not a problem at all. I feel you on this for sure. Okay, so please let me know if you find a brand you really like. I tried a brand called Torras for the S21 Ultra. The case is way better than the price. It’s super soft and fits so nice. It might be a little too soft, but I wanted to point this out to you just in case it would be perfect for you. Remember Amazon makes returns super easy. You can return to the nearest Kohls store, or UPS store. Make sure to take note of your “return by” date for a full refund. Here’s an affiliate link for you if you want to take a look at it. amzn.to/354fZZH. Hope this helps. I must say before I go. I have always been happy with UAG. I’m sure you can find a good price on one of those for the Note 20 Ultra. You may want to try a used case. Make sure to check for a return option if you decide to by used.
@@SomethingMobile I'm fiddling around with 4 so far. To be honest I'm not looking for max protection, but I want some. I'm leaning towards the Spigen Slim Armor CS. I really enjoy being able to carry cards without my wallet and the case has a mystic bronze option so it shows off the color while protecting it. It's a very good case, nice buttons and rubber grips, but the back is kind of slick. Only downside. It's no defender, but it is bulky enough I wouldn't be scared dropping it from 5 or 6 feet. Raised camera lip and screen lip. I also bought 2 very affordable clear cases. The ESR Tempered Glass clear case and a TORRAS crystal clear. Both are super nice. The TORRAS is awesome. It's super grippy and truly crystal clear and it has tiny microdots that are supposed to prevent smudging and discoloring. It seems to work. It protects the camera and screen, but only slightly. 0.6 and 0.8mm. As much as I like it, I'm a little nervous of dropping it from anywhere higher than waist. The ESR is a bit sturdier feeling on the corners and the lip over the screen and camera is a tad higher. The back is Glass which prevents yellowing and scratches entirely. Strangely reviews on past models say it almost never cracks if dropped. The main downside is I don't like it's feel in my hands as much. I also have a Samsung Leather case on order. The green. It has a camera lip but I doubt it has any protection ... But it's so Gucci... I just don't know what to do
@@SomethingMobile I also tested a clear camera bump protector that has holes over the laser sensor and flash bulb. Normal photos are fine but it ruins flash photos with a blue tint. I'm going to assume the Whitestone some camera protector I have ordered will do the same. Did you test one? The only other options are black ones that have holes over all lenses and the flash. Apparently the black prevents lens flare... But I love the camera bumps blackish pink hue... But I'm super paranoid of scratching it, especially since it is Gorilla Glass 6, not 7.
Pop socket has a wallet you can put on your phone or phone case. My wife uses one. It stays put. You can detach it when needed. It doesn't fall off so accident. Just make sure to use and alcohol wipe to clean the case where you are applying the 3m sticky part of the wallet. It's super nice. Just not as seamless as the case you have for Spigen. Thank you for being so detailed on your cases, and experience. I could make a video with the details you gave. Lol. So good. Also, I have not used anything to cover the camera lenses yet. I'm with you in not wanting to cover them with a colored film. The lenses camera is so beautiful! They will scratch no doubt about it. It's only a matter of time really. I place my phone face down to keep it from happening too soon. Lol. Thank you again for all the details. 🙂👍👍
I love the OtterBox defender. The first time I held it out of the box I thought it was going to be too big. Then I used it, and liked it instantly. If someone thinks it might be too big for them. I think You should go to the nearest Best Buy to try one. Or order from Amazon. If you don’t like it. Amazon makes it super easy to return.
Hello! Have you tested if the AmFilm glass screen protector works on either of the Defender cases with a normal installation (no moving the glass around against instructions)? Thank you!
Hey there. Thanks for the great video. I want to confirm 100% -- An Otterbox symmetry case (I happen to have the clear) will be compatible with the whitestone dome? (I'm asking)
Lol. I will never say 100%. There is no coming back from that lol. I can tell you that from what you see in this video. The symmetry and Whitestone work for me. I’m thinking you should be just fine. Make sure you take the glass out of the package and line it up on the phone with the symmetry on. This way if it doesn’t work you can pack up the case or the screen protector to return one of the two. You get what I mean? Anyway, I think you will be good. Having said this. I don’t really want to recommend the Whitestone to anyone right now. Whitestone has not been responding to emails from customers and it’s super hard to get a hold of customer services. For this reason it’s hard for me to say go get the Whitestone. I would get an AmFilm before Whitestone, it is a little bit more case friendly, cheaper, and better customer service. One person said in the comment section of one of my videos. That she had trouble with a small tray for the AmFilm. Which caused the installation to go wrong, but she got a replacement fast. At least you know AmFilm will give you a replacement pretty fast. Hope this helps. 👍
Good review thanks, I just had my defender pro note 20 ultra, I am very pleased with the quality and I do not have problem with the corner which is pushing the screen.
I'm very interested in the the bottom corner of the Defender Pro touching the glass. Do you think this will damage the glass? Is it just an issue in dealing with putting it on the phone? I'm most curious to hear from others as to how this case worked for others, most particularly with the fit.
I've had my Defender Pro case on my Ultra for about three weeks. I haven't had any trouble with fit. Sometimes with new phones I strip the case one or twice a week just to feel the new phone lol. I end up leaving it alone after a month or so, and I've broken an S8 and an S10+ using the symmetry case so I stick with the Defender. I can say I've seen no damage to the glass. And the tabs haven't broken from taking it apart multiple times. The Defender Pro on my replacement 10+ did squeak but this one doesn't. Maybe it's a luck of the draw. But yeah, I haven't seen damage yet. Never had it on my old phones either. My Spigen Neo Flex screen protector fits with the case just fine.
thank you Bro you really helped me out to decide for which one to go between the regular defender or the pro defender case and after this video placed the order for the regular one. Thanks again!
The Spigen GLAStR Platinum 2.0 is about 1 or 2 mm shorter than the Whitestone and therefore looks like it will just barely fit without drifting from procedure. I bought both on Amazon and they look identical except for the top speaker notch of the Whitestone. Both have the same clarity as far as I can tell without installing them on the actual phone. The Defender and Defender Pro share the EXACT same main shell. The only difference is in the outer rubber footprint/texture. I will try installing the Spigen and see if I have any fitment issues. I will return the Whitestone and Defender.
@@SomethingMobile I tried installing it, but I had some large air bubbles in between the glass and screen and had to immediately take it off. Time to call Spigen and see how well their customer service works.
Jose Calderon, thank you for taking the time to leave a comment, and for the support. Please let me know how you like your new case. Please tell me what screen protector you are using. Thanks again🙂👍
@@SomethingMobile I ordered mine from the US so it just arrive. I only got the Samsung rugged case with me. Tomorrow Im picking up the samsung clear case with kickstand, the uag plyo and the ringke fusion x camo. My first option are the UV tempered glass screen protectors but with this phone I'll go back to film protectors. I honestly think I'll first scratch the screen than break it so I'll give those a try as I did in the past.
I'm enjoying this Insignia case! I'm worried about it with Whitestone though. Sounds like if you apply the Whitestone regularly that they won't be comparable. I've got Whitestone and a Tech 21 impact shield coming. Not sure which route I will take.
I agree. It might be tough trying to get the glass to fit with insignia. I would hope that the case would be okay just sitting on the glass if installed with the tray. You got this. Try the Whitestone install. You will have two. If you don't like the glass go with your impact shield. What do you think?
Hi, new here. 🙂👋 I have an Otterbox Defender on my S8+ and it's done pretty well protecting it. I wish there was full-phone coverage like my old Lifeproof case did with its included screen protection, but apparently curved screens don't allow that for whatever reason. I just upgraded to a Note 20 Ultra and went with a Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro case (in a kind of metallic red, which looks awesome against the black) due to the favorable reviews on Amazon. Do you have any thoughts on that brand and how it might stack up to the Otterbox?
Hello and welcome! Yes, thank you for asking for my opinion. OK, so when it comes down to is autobox is the better choice. It’s not that supcase is a bad choice though. It’s just I don’t have a lot of experience with Supcase. If you are looking to save A little money then try going to Best Buy.com. I have seen in the past couple of days a few people say in my comments. There is a sale going on for the OtterBox defender case. I think that you will like supcase. But I trust my phone with OtterBox more, and you have a great warranty with the OtterBox. If anything goes wrong with your case. Keep your receipt for proof of purchase, and they will send you a new one. You will just pay for the shipping. It’s about $10 here in California. I would buy both cases. One from OtterBox and one from supcase. 👍👍 Thank you for taking the time to ask a question. Let me know if you have any other questions.
@@SomethingMobile Many thanks! I think I'll do that. Can't go wrong with having a backup, especially for my first high-end phone like the Note Ultra. Particularly when I'm a complete klutz... 😅
Except for the whitestone domes worst support and the thin glass and the overprice , I am loving my note 20 ultra 512 gigs on the otterbox defender pro. BTW keep up the good work man ...
The price is insanely high for Whitestone. You have had a bad experience so far with Whitestone? Please let us know what they could have done better. Whitestone may see this comment thread, and others would benefit of you are comfortable sharing. Other than that. It's great the Defender Pro is good for you. I may have to stop recommending Whitestone if problems persist with support. I had good results in getting replacements from them, but I have heard that they sometimes want to charge $10 for shipping if you even received a broken screen protector in the box. That's not right at all. Anyway, I'm curious what your experience is with them. Sorry about going on about that. It's just important to me to find the best all around brand. Please let me know if you find a good brand.
@@SomethingMobile those idiots don't even respond to emails... I should have got mine in 2 days but received it after 7 days and even after I received it those idiots did not respond. I reached out to them via email , Twitter , RUclips and those idiots can't even reply worst 60 dollars spent atleast im lucky enough to have received it ... I'm traveling tomorrow and needed it by then... if I did not receive it the 60 bucks would be gone case ... worst support ever. Not even an email reply. And the product is not good too ... only reason people go for it is for the finger scanner. I had the amfilm for my old note 9 and that was true tempered glass this one sucks. The glass is smudgy finger print magnet ... the glue is not even and in certain lighting conditions show up uneven coloring on the screen ... its thin and I don't think its as good as the regular 9h glass guards or the amfilms... completely disappointed. I'm just gonna keep it on for 2-3 months during my travel and throw it off so that I feel I did not waste 60 bucks for nothing... And whats the point of getting 10$replacement if their support sucks. My old zagg had lifetime replacement and they were pretty great
@@jyor2535, it's too bad they dropped the ball on responding to you. Good customer service goes a long way. Here's the thing. You would be more apt to be fine with a shortcoming or two if they had good customer support. Well, this is good to know, and thank you again for sharing. I happen to like AmFilm as well. So thank you for talking about that brand as well. Have a safe trip Jyo. Take care.
@@SomethingMobile thanks mate yes , i don't mind paying premium for good quality and good customer service... but this brand may have somewhat okay quality but no point. Never going back to them ...
Yo!!! Great video, exactly what i needed 👏 I had a hard time deciding what one would be best for me. I'm going with the commuter case.. Was gonna do the defender but I'm usually careful with my phones. I won't be rocking a screen protector though. Thanks again and great video.
i use the defender pro. i had my phone crack from the side by the power button. that gap that you were talking about was how the phone got crack. i am going to try the defender instead when i get my phone back from samsung.
Michael Breton. Totally correct. AmFilm is the best by far. When installing the AmFilm installation tray is a bit tight, and will only let the glass past it work perfectly placed. Make sure not to push down on it to make it push past the tray. This will cause a splash into the glue.
Do you have affiliate links yet? You seem like a cool dude and the video was pretty decent, so I'd like to help out and use an affiliate link if you have one.
You are awesome dude! Thank you for your kind words. I have the links. I just haven't used them yet. Weird I know. I am just learning about the ins and outs of affiliate links. Anyway, I really appreciate your support. Take care friend.
Supcase unicorn beetle pro has been my go to case for years. I have the defender pro for my ultra as well as the unicorn beetle, but I've ordered Whitestone dome glass for it. I'm concerned about the push at the bottom of the case.
Wesley S. Dearman, thank you for the comment. Okay, I would adjust it up a little higher than I put the glass. Try that. You can get a replacement if needed. Watch my install video I did on the Note 20 Ultra here on my channel. I’m not just pushing my channel lol. I did the video to help you with the install. Let me know if you have any questions.
Maybe. It's hard to say. It just wasn't as secure as the Symmetry. I think it is a good case though. The phone felt pretty secure in it. All in all. I think it would be fine.
@@SomethingMobile thank You for the fast reply. your video review is really a big help. I just bought the commuter as you said it feels nicer in the hand.
Yes, I like the Commuter case. I have been using it a lot lately. 🙂 Please tell me how you like it so far. I really like the value. It gives us a lot of case for the price. The little flap on the bottom. Feels nice to hold. It’s just super nice to me.
@@SomethingMobile i returned it and went with symmetry. after that i didnt like the symmetry😅 it was slippery and the camera protection isn't secured enough for me. I bought a bodyguardz ace pro for N20U. it's thin and has a 10ft. protection and has a tight fit all over. I wonder how this compares to the tech21 evo check as im still contemplating to buy that case.
I been using otterbox cases for many many years and I have never broke my phone this cases are super good!! But there is a problem, all my Samsung phones get scratches over time dirt gets inside the case and scratches the phone from all sides top and bottom , I'm 100% sure other people had the same problem..
Yes, actually I do it every 2 weeks. and for my for my work phone every week I do construction so my work phone gets pretty bad but it's fine , now on my Samsung tab s6 the volume rocker is really hard It has a otterbox sense day one I wonder if that ever happen to anyone
I have used OtterBox for years but the last two phones I've had I've had the defender on in the holsters don't last very long at all the little clip part wears out fast And this new phone I bought for my Note 20 ultra The plastics coming off on the back The port cover fell off and it's just all around horrible which is sad because I've used OtterBox for years .
But I should mention that they warranty is pretty good I just warrantied out mine actually tonight after 3 years of putting up with it and it only cost me 10 bucks for shipping 👍
But the only problem is case with phone is too wide and thick for my gimbal mount. The Defender is 84.3mm and the gimbal mount is 84mm wide. And case is 14mm while the mount is 10mm. I need to find out the dimension on symmetry and commuter cases. I can't afford not to use a case on the phone always.
@@WoodyCollins, you can cancel your order. To me the Commuter feels like a mini Defender. 🙂 You really can't go wrong with either the Symmetry or Commuter.
@@SomethingMobile I had already received and installed the Defender. I like that case since I wear it on my belt (horizontally). Can you send me the dimensions of the Symmetry and Commuter?
Great video! I picked up 2 symmetry cases so I could throw a pop socket on one before seeing this but have always wondered the difference between the commuter and the symmetry. I have had a defender in the past.
Love your name! What's awesome about a pop socket is it will keep your phone off of the table when set on it's back. That will help keep the camera protected too. I'm glad I could help a bit. I had always wondered the difference between the Commuter and Symmetry as well. Thank you for taking the time to leave this comment. Please let me know how you like your cases later with and without the pop socket. 🙂👍
@@SomethingMobile after watching this I remembered how much I like my old defender case so have just gone and picked up the defender pro too! I go to a lot of rowdy football matches so need to be sure it's protected there, and will use the symmetry cases for a sleeker day-to-day use in the office. Keep up the good work!
Great question. Right... the phone has a coating for protection. Dig a little deeper into the pop socket box. Your will find a little round piece of film. That is more of a static cling plastic. Use that first. Put that on the phone then the pop socket will stick to that. As for the symmetry cases... I have to check on that. I know it will work with the clear symmetry. Maybe not the black.
Glad I didn't try the install yet..the pro is all I was able to get...lol don't have screen protector on yet...waiting for your UAG reviews...hoping their big case will work..ugh
I'm fairly sure the Monarch will work for you. I'm not completely sure though. I'm going to stop by best buy tomorrow to take a look at all the case they have and try them on with the Whitestone dome on. It will be faster this way. Thank you for letting me know that you are waiting for my review. It helps to know. I'll get to it. 🙂👍👍
You show how great the case clip can be used as a kick stand two ways ... only problem is that you can't see the screen of the phone, you see the back of the phone. Then, you say (or it sounds like you say) "the case is wirelessly charging incompatible" what does that mean? Should be wireless charging compatible.
Yeah the clip is great. I show you in the video that the case is wireless charging compatible. That means it does charge through the case wirelessly. Do you need more clarification?
Do you listen to your own programs? You made no comment on my complaint. The words you used were unclear. It sounded like you were saying just the oppose of what you were trying to say. Just take a little time and listen to it. I listened more than 3 times. I stopped the view of the box to read the correct information.
I've gone through 3 otterbox Defender cases. And they're no good. The plastic rim cracks upon impact. And the rubber back piece is flimsy. You can't really put anything on the back side. Otherwise it'll stretch the rubber and cause it to not be perfectly flat.
patrick jackson, always fun to upgrade. The 120hz refresh is the only thing that is worth the upgrade. The Note 10+ is such a great phone. Please let me know what is the main reason you are thinking to upgrade.
Get a case before you buy it or make sure you buy one the same day. I have the note20 ultra and dropped it on my tile floor before my otterbox came in the mail and it just cost me $508 to repair (I never purchase insurance 😑)
Please consider using a screen protector and putting the liquid screen protector on there just to see how well it works. That's what I'm doing right now. I just dropped my Samsung Galaxy s21 Ultra and a rock hit and chipped the Whitestone dome glass screen protector. The glass on the phone itself is just fine. I just put the liquid screen protector on the Whitestone dome Glass about 3 days ago. The glass is still broke.
I emailed them and was very curious as to why there is a pro and how is it different because I've only ever used defenders and I could not find ANY differences. And the description of the two are not different enough for me to know why there is a different. They said it's the microbial coating. 😭. But like I'm not sure why they have it as two different models. Im not sure if I fine with them saying it's just the coating. I have the PRO but I haven't added the wsd yet.
I really like the look of those. Hum... Okay, do you really like the fit? What's the best thing about it?🙂 Thank you taking the time to leave a comment. 👍👍
@@SomethingMobile I've had it for my last 4 phones including the S20 Ultra and it's a fantastic case. I just ordered it for the Note 20 Ultra but it's not here yet. That soft orange 3D0 interior is second to none. Looks like they changed the style a little on the new Note cases.
Don't buy the commuter. At the bottom, where you plug in the phone at, there is a small piece of plastic that goes across because it's all one piece. It will break I guarantee you.
@@SomethingMobile yes sir! I had mine less than 3 months and it broke. Currently I'm using the OtterBox defender and due to it having two separate pieces and then being wrapped with the rubber firmly, it is by far a better choice.
Defender pro is by far the worst case I've ever had. I've destroyed two phones due to the lack of protection in this case. Both cases broke in the same spot on bottom left corner next to stylus from falls less than 6 feet. The entire back of my second phone is shattered from it being in my pocket and leaning up against the control box in a crane i was operating. I will never buy another otter box
Wanted to give this comment a like, but I’m too bummed for you. I feel like it’s bad form. I’m so sorry Angel. I really do hope you get that sorted fast. So you are back out there with your new phone.
Lol. The OtterPop. I was thinking about it. I just know there is a major flaw in the design for me. Thank you for the idea, and taking the time to ask your question. 🙂👍
@@philsvideos4509, I have pretty big hands so this relates to me more, but I noticed the pop socket is built in. So this means that there is a major limit to how much the pop socket can come out. I can only get the top part of my finger tips between the case and the pop socket. Unless they have changed that about this year's case. There are two flaws really. The next one is still related to the pop socket being inset though. The inset doesn't allow for the pop socket to be used as a kick stand. Both of these reasons are why I really like pop sockets. To when I went to the store to try the OtterPop on my phone I was so bummed. I really like the idea. It just didn't wake for me. The positive about the inset is the slim design. It slides in and out of the pocket better, but I want to like the feel of the case while I'm using it. Not while it's in my pocket. I really like that Otterbox and pop socket are bring us these cool designs. I just think they need some time to iron things out. Then again I haven't used the new version. Maybe it's better. I'll take a look. Thank you again for taking the time to request this case. 🙂
Why would anyone want to put the belt clip on the screen that just prevents anyone from using the phone & would be annoying taking it off to use the phone so pretty pointless good cases tho have a symmetry case on my note20 ultra
It is good for the added screen protection I guess i honestly thought it was made to go on the back of the phone when I had previous cases that were similar great video
Can anyone recommend a good case that also covers the s-pen and charging port? Someone asked in the comments of another video here on my channel if I knew of a case like this. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Husband has used Otterboxes exclusively for years as he's the king of drops & destructive talent. I used to have one as well and can vouch for the superior prtotection & quality. I do hink there's not enough attention to what appeals to women. They have a few cases with colors, but it all feels like an after thought. Detailed video.
I use the defender case for my note 20 plus, great case. I work in a oil and gas industry and I use my phone for work and this case works amazingly. Great video
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this comment. To me it means more than you know. 🙂👍
Since people are coming here looking for Dome Glass compatibility, I've already installed between 60-70 of them on phones. Cases that work without any doubt, even if the protector isn't put on perfect:
ALL Spigen cases. Tough Armor is the only one that will depend on how well you installed it.
ALL Supcase cases. Same as above for the Unicorn Beetle Pro.
ALL UAG cases. Same again for the Monarch.
ALL Incipio cases. Same again with the Dual Pro.
ALL Samsung Cases.
In the last 2 years, Otterbox compatibility has gone down, it seems as though they're trying to design against Dome Glass to sell their garbage Alpha Glass.
I personally use Spigen Tough Armor. I used to put Commuter / Defender Pro on all my phones but in my experience, the times I have broken a Dome Glass screen protector, it's been due to a direct hit on an unlevel area. The case I chose didn't matter at all. I've never had the Tough Armor fail me in any area regarding the actual phone itself.
Great information! Thank you!👍👍
The best combination I have found for the Samsung Curved display is the Defender Pro case, and the Zagg Glass Curve screen protector. They work great together in my experience.
I’ve GOT to try the new Zagg.
Does the fingerprint scanner work good?
i love the fact that he went to the extent of showing ever kind of use for these cases, i hate that most people that review cases are just brushing over them, like its a $2000 phone, i want to know if i should buy the case and if it actually protects the most expensive parts of the phone, aka the camera, as much as i was thinking of the commuter and symmetry they just dont cover the camera enough for the price, as he said its a flush type of design, which is a but of a worry you want that little bit more of a lip on the back for the camera, but you can also just put it face down, then again if you want to see your notifications you should be able to put it on its back without having to worry about the camera at all. either way appreciate the time and effort taken to make this video, really a lot better if not the best for cases. and hopefully the defender case isnt super fat and massive considering how big the phone is already
Its $1299. Big difference
@@deadlybladesmith3093 in Australia its 2k
I totally agree with you, this guy really took the word "comprehensive" to his reviews.. Instant subscribe from me
Hey, thank you so much for the positive review. I’m so glad I could help. Did you you end up liking the Defender?
Thanks they finally cover more the s pen slot in previous cases the s pen side is more open and the phone literally hit on that part when fall down
Thank you so much for this video... I actually just recently ordered the note 20 ultra along with the Outterbox Defender Pro which will arrive tomorrow. With that being said, this video really helped me get an idea of what my phone will look like in the case I've chosen. What other screen protectors do you recommend for the ultra to along with the defender pro? Thanks for everything and looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Thank you! And you are very welcome. I’m happy I could help. For now. All I can recommend for the Defender is glass fusion+ by invisible shield. Thank you again.
@@SomethingMobile it still bubbles in that right corner with the glass fusion
Great video, I did notice the same at the bottom of my defender pro. What I did is I took my little dremel tool and notched out the corners and a little along the bottom and top to make it more case friendly with tempered glass. Over all great case.
Thank you! Way to make it work @joanben1977
That's what I was thinking of doing before buying a dome glass. Thanks for confirming it'll work.
Thanks man! The Commuter has been unavailable in Canada and I've been trying to decide between the other three. This made the decision making process a breeze!
You are very welcome Bryan. 👊🙂
I’ve had otter box on every phone I’ve owned. Best cases period. My phones are all flawless. Currently have the Pro on my Note Ultra. On the very first day I knocked my phone off my night stand with my back pack and it fell at an awkward angle striking the base of the night stand and the backpack on top. I thought I was screwed. I ended up with a small crack to the very top of the Whitestone screen protector. Zero damage to my phone! I’m certain it would have completely smashed my phone if I didn’t have the protection on that I did. Otter box with Whitestone is bulletproof.
Steve Shedd, thank you for taking the time to share your experience. 🙂👍
Hey, I wanted to get the pro and whitestone for the ultra but I wasn't sure with the problems he described. Have you experienced any of that, and if so what solutions have you found?
@@BrantleyJd I adjusted the second screen to set a little bit lower than the first. Its not 100% where its meant to be by design but by doing that there is zero interfering from the Otterbox case. It was such a slight adjustment down from the top of the screen you don't even see it with the case on. I can't see how anyone would use this phone without a case. I get too many false touches without and I'm sure it would be smashed in about 7 minutes.
Gonna pick up a pro wasn’t sure if I would experience problems as stated in the video with the pro & dome glass
Hey all! Please comment on what feature/s you like most on your cases! Glass or Film Screen protector, and why? 🙂👍👍
I've only ever used film, this will be my first time with Glass. My Whitestone shipment was delayed due to covid 😭.
@@BluePistachio91, it will be worth the wait. 🙂👍and thank you for the comment.
I've used invisible shield with samsung galaxy note 2 and it didn' protect the glass from drops. Other than that it was nice.
So I switched to glass once and once I bought note8 I've used whitestone since the glass is curved andnother curved screen protectors don't stick as well.
For cases, well I love the purple/clear one from supcase, I think it was UB style, the one with purple covers and clear back. I dropped my phone once on concrete with small stones and my phone didn't have a scratch so I wpuld stick with them.
Sadly for note 20 ultra they didn't have a purple one so I just took the plain black one. So mainly the protective qualities without being too bulky like otterbox's defender is what attracts me. Also thr color purple lol.
I don't like the flip covers or anything, just plain one piece case that covers everything else except the screen.
Simo Portti, thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. Take a look at the Dbrand Grip. You can put a purple skin on it I believe, and it is a super nice slim protective case.
The defender pro shouldn't be a problem if no screen protector right?
The new Commuter and Symmetry cases are literal landfill. Let me
explain: I currently daily a Note 9 and have a Note 20 Ultra on order, I
have a Symmetry and a Commuter case for my Note 9 and they are
excellent cases on the Note 9, HOWEVER, I ordered the Commuter for the
Note 20 Ultra I have on order and they REALLY cheaped out on the
construction and durability of the case, the Commuter for the Note 20 is
WAY thinner than the version for the Note 9, and the Symmetry for the
Note 9 has a rubber backing on the inside of the case that the version
for the Note 20 DOESN'T HAVE. Considering how expensive Otterbox cases
are, I am very disappointed, and after seeing the decline in build
quality of the Otterbox cases in this video I will not be giving them my
money. These phones are way too expensive for these kinds of
shenanigans. I'll be looking for my protection elsewhere for this
generation of phones.
Dude! Thank you so much for sharing your experience. This helps tremendously. You said you have the new commuter on order. Please let us know what you think when you get the new one in hand. I’m super curious. There is something about the new commuter that I really like. I thought it felt a little on the cheaper side when I first used it as well, which is why I was torn between the Symmetry and the Commuter. I really think the symmetry is more than enough protection. It may not be as protective as the past versions, but I think OtterBox wants to make their cases appeal to a larger consumer base. They have to be careful to not compete with the defender line of cases. You get what I mean? They have this amazing case like the defender. So they are using the other cases to capture and retain more buyers. We’ll have to see if their new direction sells and appeals to their current customers. It’s not right to leave their current Otters behind, but they must keep innovating. People and mobiles change so fast. It’s tough to know the right move to make.
To be more direct with your thinking. Maybe they are trying to save a little money. This might be why they have used cheaper or less material. I just don’t know if this is true. We will see in the future if they receive some backlash or reduction in sales. In this case they will start giving better materials.
All this aside. I think it’s true you should go with the brand and case that you feel the most secure with. Please let us know what brand and case you use. Thank you again for sharing your detailed thoughts. It took a lot of effort to do so. We all benefit from this. Please live like you are blessed and take care.
Supcase Unicorn Beetle has been the best one I've ever used thus far. This is coming from an Otterbox Defender series fan of years.
SilEn Monharck1, thank you! 🙂👍
@@SomethingMobile you should consider it for a review. I'm sure you'll like it, the built in stand is awesome, has better angles for phone positioning, keeps you from having to take the belt clip off your waist to use the stand and you can use it while holding your phone easy so it doesn't slip and drop.
Theyre butt ugly though
I had one on my note8 for 3 years and I loved it. It was also compatible with dome glass.
Sadly with the note 20 ultra the unicorn beetle exo isn't compatible with the dome glass.
@@SimoPortti I've never used screen protectors tbh, but I was always careful with the screen and never kept it outside the holster if it wasn't on me.
Thank you SO much for your presentation. It was the best one - by far - of the ones I have seen so far. You even showed me something the others didn't even mention/notice .... That the holder clip ROTATES! Why did noone else even mention that!? That is a VERY useful function to know (the average person doesn't know that ... and doesn't want to risk breaking it by trying to turn something that looks fixed). So - all in all - thank you so much for the work you have put into making this a fantastic, helpful, informative, professional presentation for all the people out there! SUPERB!!!
You are very welcome. I’m so glad the video helped. Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment.
commuter used to be my go to for cases until my note 9 fell and the case didn't protect the corner with the s pen
@Prof Toast Gaming, thank you for sharing your experience. There a a few cases that have this same problem. The opening is just a little too big. Yeah, thanks for sharing.
I have the the defender case for my note 20 ultra and it works great. Love those cases.
Me too. Such a great case. Thank you for sharing.
Do you have the white stone dome screen protector?
I've been using otterbox for years, imo its the best protection cases for phones. A close second being Pelican cases. I currently use the Otter box Defender Pro case on my Note 20 Ultra. Its super good.
Great video!!
Thank you for the positive review. I appreciate the time you took to leave a comment. 👍👊
The Pelican Shield is the best case of all in term of protection. It is better than Otterbox defender pro in drop protection. The problem of Pelican is that they are not doing the Pelican Shield for all the model of smarthphone. They only make that case for iPhone and Samsung Galaxy S10, Very sad for that. I have several rugged case for my iPhone 11 Pro Max, and trust me, the Pelican Shield is a tank, that case has a incredibly bounce in the drop and can survive anything. I have Otterbox defender, supcase, and a lot of good rugged case, but Pelican Shield is the best of all. Sorry for my English
@@wilfredogarciagonzalez2889 Ah, Pelican is one of my favorite cases as well. I got to eventually try the shield hopefully they make one for the note 20 ultra. Thanks for the recommendation.
@@SomethingMobile No problem. I'm glad you made the video.
@@joshuawilliams8319 The Pelican Shield is the best case. It would definitely be great if Pelican make one for the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 ultra. The Pelican Shield when I ordered it for my iPhone 11 Pro Max, I had other rugged cases, including the Otterbox defender, Supcase, Poetic, and at first when I opened the box and put the Pelican Shield on the iPhone, I was not impressed by the case not at all, and I thought Otterbox Defender Pro was better. After I used the Pelican Shield for a while, the cell phone was accidentally dropped on several occasions and I realized how protective it is and the bounce it produces when the cell phone is dropped. It's impressive how the Pelican Shield handles drops. After I observe the case well, I can tell you that its design was well thought out and analyzed because on the back it is a polycarbonate with aramid fiber and on the edges it has an excellent quality rubber, then on the front it has very good raised lips although not as much as the Otterbox Defender Pro, but big enough to handle frontal drops. In the front frame its material is hard and is combined with rubber. The front internal part where the cell phone screen touches is a soft rubber (different from Otterbox defender pro that what touches the screen is a plastic frame) which guarantees that in a frontal fall the cell phone screen does not suffer external and internal damages , for example in the mega pixels of the display. On the inside of the case it is combined with some rubber edges that guarantee that in a fall the cell phone is protected since the case cushions the impact. In the corners the material is a rigid aramid fiber that bounces when it makes contact with the ground. Anyway, I will tell you that the Pelican Shield in my opinion is the most protective case I have ever seen, which is sad that Pelican Shield has not known how to promote that case so that it has more fame and sales. Sorry for my English
Thanks I just bought the outer box Defender pro I love it
🙌🙌It's my pleasure to help. Thank you for allowing me to assist you. Take care and live blessed.
Great Info and delivery! But I have a few concerns that seem to be overlooked or minimized reviews.
No offense intended But, The UAG plasma case has ok upper and lower lip protection( Much less than the Otterbox defender.) Plus, it has virtually no side lip protection , and non existent interior shock absorption. ( those molded in designs or hexes do nothing but add style. ) the corners do have extra air pockets to absorb drops.
I have yet to see any proof of these Military grade ratings that are put to the test, and the ground isnt simply a clean floor from a 4-5 ft drop. However, They do LOOK great, ( plasma ash, ice ) and The newer solid color versions. The monarch, is 50.00, and doesnt stand a chance against the Otterbox defender in levels of protection, but they dont look as nice.
So, a person needs to spend 40.00 extra for the tempered glass when using minimal lip cases..or face the chance of shattering the screen when its dropped on a street and a piece of gravel is there to say goodbye to the bare glass screen. whether its gorilla glass 6 or 7.
@S. philips, thank you, and no offense taken! Let’s get to this. The Defender is my first choice of any case, because I purchase for function and protection. The case I would not choose over a plasma case is the OtterBox Commuter. That’s the case I was meaning to refer to in the video. Just to be clear... The Defender is the first case one should buy. If not only to try it first. It surprised me to no end.
I’ve dropped my iPhone in a UAG. The phone seemed to bounce lol. The sides of the Monarch for the Note 10+ are plenty high to provide protection. The plasma are a bit low, but that’s what I like about it really. It’s a good slim but protective case. I really do feel that UAG makes a good drop protective case. The back of the case being so solid absorbs the impact so the phone screen doesn’t. The corners have lots of outer rubber to help with this as well. Please give UAG a try if you haven’t already. The style isn’t for everyone. Due to it’s design. If you want a tight fitting, protective, yet slim design case. The plasma might be worth a try. The one thing to keep in mind is the warranty program that OtterBox has. It’s hard to beat the Support team you get with OtterBox as well. Simply top notch. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. I really appreciate you taking the time. You are awesome!🙂👍
The symmetry and commuter my fav 😄👍👏
That's weird, I recently bought the defender pro and it fit just fine with the Whitestone. It didn't lift or anything.
@Javy vet., Maybe Otterbox saw my video and adjusted the mold. Lol. Not likely I know. Really though. You purchased recently. So maybe you got a better fitting batch. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. 🙂🤙
Does the otterbox cases protect the screen of the ultra too or I ha e to get a screen protector too?
The defender case does not have a built in screen protector. You will need to but a screen protector. There is a video on my channel talking about screen protectors. Thank you for your question.
Thank you
Great vid bro. I'm getting the Defender Pro for my S22 Ultra, and gonna try it with a Whitestone Dome Glass screen protector. 👍🏻
The old otter box cases were solid, I've had mine on my Note 20 Ultra for maybe 6 months and the tabs are broken, rubber ripped. For the money I would def grab something else, if it was cheaper then its justified. I have the defender case and you will outer rubber casing just doesn't keep shape. I want to get another one but I'm iffy on it.
OtterBox has a really good warranty. Please get a replacement through OtterBox. They'll hook you up. I think it'll cost like $10 for shipping or something.
@@SomethingMobile Hey brother thanks for the reply! I don't want to go through the same thing again so I'm just seeing what is out there I'm probably just going to buy a cheap case because I'm tired of spending 90 to 100 bucks on a case and then the cheap case last 😂😂
@@oki_m135i, you are welcome friend. It’s not a problem at all. I feel you on this for sure. Okay, so please let me know if you find a brand you really like. I tried a brand called Torras for the S21 Ultra. The case is way better than the price. It’s super soft and fits so nice. It might be a little too soft, but I wanted to point this out to you just in case it would be perfect for you. Remember Amazon makes returns super easy. You can return to the nearest Kohls store, or UPS store. Make sure to take note of your “return by” date for a full refund. Here’s an affiliate link for you if you want to take a look at it. amzn.to/354fZZH. Hope this helps.
I must say before I go. I have always been happy with UAG. I’m sure you can find a good price on one of those for the Note 20 Ultra. You may want to try a used case. Make sure to check for a return option if you decide to by used.
Thanks for the Review, I am currently using the Rugged protective standing cover from Samsung. So far it's good 👍
Thanks mate for this awesome video! Now I am safe to order my otterbox symmetry case with whitestone dome screen protector on! 😎
You are very welcome.
Did you ever get your fingerprint scanner to work better with the Whitestone some?
Gregory Hess, yes, thank you for asking. It really does work pretty well now. 7 to 8 out of 10 times it works for me. 👍👍
Please let me know. What cases are you using right now?
@@SomethingMobile I'm fiddling around with 4 so far. To be honest I'm not looking for max protection, but I want some. I'm leaning towards the Spigen Slim Armor CS. I really enjoy being able to carry cards without my wallet and the case has a mystic bronze option so it shows off the color while protecting it. It's a very good case, nice buttons and rubber grips, but the back is kind of slick. Only downside. It's no defender, but it is bulky enough I wouldn't be scared dropping it from 5 or 6 feet. Raised camera lip and screen lip. I also bought 2 very affordable clear cases. The ESR Tempered Glass clear case and a TORRAS crystal clear. Both are super nice. The TORRAS is awesome. It's super grippy and truly crystal clear and it has tiny microdots that are supposed to prevent smudging and discoloring. It seems to work. It protects the camera and screen, but only slightly. 0.6 and 0.8mm. As much as I like it, I'm a little nervous of dropping it from anywhere higher than waist. The ESR is a bit sturdier feeling on the corners and the lip over the screen and camera is a tad higher. The back is Glass which prevents yellowing and scratches entirely. Strangely reviews on past models say it almost never cracks if dropped. The main downside is I don't like it's feel in my hands as much. I also have a Samsung Leather case on order. The green. It has a camera lip but I doubt it has any protection ... But it's so Gucci... I just don't know what to do
@@SomethingMobile I also tested a clear camera bump protector that has holes over the laser sensor and flash bulb. Normal photos are fine but it ruins flash photos with a blue tint. I'm going to assume the Whitestone some camera protector I have ordered will do the same. Did you test one? The only other options are black ones that have holes over all lenses and the flash. Apparently the black prevents lens flare... But I love the camera bumps blackish pink hue... But I'm super paranoid of scratching it, especially since it is Gorilla Glass 6, not 7.
Pop socket has a wallet you can put on your phone or phone case. My wife uses one. It stays put. You can detach it when needed. It doesn't fall off so accident. Just make sure to use and alcohol wipe to clean the case where you are applying the 3m sticky part of the wallet. It's super nice. Just not as seamless as the case you have for Spigen. Thank you for being so detailed on your cases, and experience. I could make a video with the details you gave. Lol. So good. Also, I have not used anything to cover the camera lenses yet. I'm with you in not wanting to cover them with a colored film. The lenses camera is so beautiful! They will scratch no doubt about it. It's only a matter of time really. I place my phone face down to keep it from happening too soon. Lol. Thank you again for all the details. 🙂👍👍
Otter box defender is what I'm using now and it's great. I'm not gentle with my phones and Otter box has save me money.
I love the OtterBox defender. The first time I held it out of the box I thought it was going to be too big. Then I used it, and liked it instantly. If someone thinks it might be too big for them. I think
You should go to the nearest Best Buy to try one. Or order from Amazon. If you don’t like it. Amazon makes it super easy to return.
Hello! Have you tested if the AmFilm glass screen protector works on either of the Defender cases with a normal installation (no moving the glass around against instructions)? Thank you!
Haven't tested that yet. I'll be getting to that soon though.
Hey there. Thanks for the great video. I want to confirm 100% -- An Otterbox symmetry case (I happen to have the clear) will be compatible with the whitestone dome? (I'm asking)
Lol. I will never say 100%. There is no coming back from that lol. I can tell you that from what you see in this video. The symmetry and Whitestone work for me. I’m thinking you should be just fine. Make sure you take the glass out of the package and line it up on the phone with the symmetry on. This way if it doesn’t work you can pack up the case or the screen protector to return one of the two. You get what I mean? Anyway, I think you will be good. Having said this. I don’t really want to recommend the Whitestone to anyone right now. Whitestone has not been responding to emails from customers and it’s super hard to get a hold of customer services. For this reason it’s hard for me to say go get the Whitestone. I would get an AmFilm before Whitestone, it is a little bit more case friendly, cheaper, and better customer service. One person said in the comment section of one of my videos. That she had trouble with a small tray for the AmFilm. Which caused the installation to go wrong, but she got a replacement fast. At least you know AmFilm will give you a replacement pretty fast. Hope this helps. 👍
@@SomethingMobile thank you for the detailed answer. I agree about whitestone they are terrible at responding to questions. Maybe I will go amfilm
Will the otterbox symmetry work with whitestone dome glass?
@Asher Tom Kachlon, yes it will.
Good review thanks, I just had my defender pro note 20 ultra, I am very pleased with the quality and I do not have problem with the corner which is pushing the screen.
Thanks for sharing! Please tell me if you have been using Whitestone Dome Glass with the OtterBox Defender Pro. Thank you.
I'm very interested in the the bottom corner of the Defender Pro touching the glass. Do you think this will damage the glass? Is it just an issue in dealing with putting it on the phone? I'm most curious to hear from others as to how this case worked for others, most particularly with the fit.
Yes, I would love to hear from others on this. I can tell you. My glass bubbled up after 10 minutes of the case being installed.
I've had my Defender Pro case on my Ultra for about three weeks. I haven't had any trouble with fit. Sometimes with new phones I strip the case one or twice a week just to feel the new phone lol. I end up leaving it alone after a month or so, and I've broken an S8 and an S10+ using the symmetry case so I stick with the Defender.
I can say I've seen no damage to the glass. And the tabs haven't broken from taking it apart multiple times. The Defender Pro on my replacement 10+ did squeak but this one doesn't. Maybe it's a luck of the draw. But yeah, I haven't seen damage yet. Never had it on my old phones either. My Spigen Neo Flex screen protector fits with the case just fine.
Thanks mate, just ordered the Defender case, appreciate the look see
You are welcome. Glad to help! 👍
thank you Bro you really helped me out to decide for which one to go between the regular defender or the pro defender case and after this video placed the order for the regular one. Thanks again!
The Spigen GLAStR Platinum 2.0 is about 1 or 2 mm shorter than the Whitestone and therefore looks like it will just barely fit without drifting from procedure. I bought both on Amazon and they look identical except for the top speaker notch of the Whitestone. Both have the same clarity as far as I can tell without installing them on the actual phone. The Defender and Defender Pro share the EXACT same main shell. The only difference is in the outer rubber footprint/texture. I will try installing the Spigen and see if I have any fitment issues. I will return the Whitestone and Defender.
Thank you for taking the time to leave this comment/ information. Super helpful. Much appreciated.
@@SomethingMobile I tried installing it, but I had some large air bubbles in between the glass and screen and had to immediately take it off. Time to call Spigen and see how well their customer service works.
Great review. I'm buying the gray symmetry case. and yes you are right, the clear one scratches immediately and yellows quick too.
Jose Calderon, thank you for taking the time to leave a comment, and for the support. Please let me know how you like your new case. Please tell me what screen protector you are using. Thanks again🙂👍
@@SomethingMobile I ordered mine from the US so it just arrive. I only got the Samsung rugged case with me. Tomorrow Im picking up the samsung clear case with kickstand, the uag plyo and the ringke fusion x camo. My first option are the UV tempered glass screen protectors but with this phone I'll go back to film protectors. I honestly think I'll first scratch the screen than break it so I'll give those a try as I did in the past.
You can change you cover every year man
I'm enjoying this Insignia case! I'm worried about it with Whitestone though. Sounds like if you apply the Whitestone regularly that they won't be comparable. I've got Whitestone and a Tech 21 impact shield coming. Not sure which route I will take.
I agree. It might be tough trying to get the glass to fit with insignia. I would hope that the case would be okay just sitting on the glass if installed with the tray.
You got this. Try the Whitestone install. You will have two. If you don't like the glass go with your impact shield. What do you think?
@@SomethingMobile I'll let you know! Should be here Monday.
Hi, new here. 🙂👋 I have an Otterbox Defender on my S8+ and it's done pretty well protecting it. I wish there was full-phone coverage like my old Lifeproof case did with its included screen protection, but apparently curved screens don't allow that for whatever reason.
I just upgraded to a Note 20 Ultra and went with a Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro case (in a kind of metallic red, which looks awesome against the black) due to the favorable reviews on Amazon. Do you have any thoughts on that brand and how it might stack up to the Otterbox?
Hello and welcome! Yes, thank you for asking for my opinion. OK, so when it comes down to is autobox is the better choice. It’s not that supcase is a bad choice though. It’s just I don’t have a lot of experience with Supcase. If you are looking to save A little money then try going to Best Buy.com. I have seen in the past couple of days a few people say in my comments. There is a sale going on for the OtterBox defender case. I think that you will like supcase. But I trust my phone with OtterBox more, and you have a great warranty with the OtterBox. If anything goes wrong with your case. Keep your receipt for proof of purchase, and they will send you a new one. You will just pay for the shipping. It’s about $10 here in California. I would buy both cases. One from OtterBox and one from supcase. 👍👍 Thank you for taking the time to ask a question. Let me know if you have any other questions.
@@SomethingMobile Many thanks! I think I'll do that. Can't go wrong with having a backup, especially for my first high-end phone like the Note Ultra. Particularly when I'm a complete klutz... 😅
Except for the whitestone domes worst support and the thin glass and the overprice , I am loving my note 20 ultra 512 gigs on the otterbox defender pro. BTW keep up the good work man ...
The price is insanely high for Whitestone. You have had a bad experience so far with Whitestone? Please let us know what they could have done better. Whitestone may see this comment thread, and others would benefit of you are comfortable sharing. Other than that. It's great the Defender Pro is good for you. I may have to stop recommending Whitestone if problems persist with support. I had good results in getting replacements from them, but I have heard that they sometimes want to charge $10 for shipping if you even received a broken screen protector in the box. That's not right at all. Anyway, I'm curious what your experience is with them. Sorry about going on about that. It's just important to me to find the best all around brand. Please let me know if you find a good brand.
@@SomethingMobile those idiots don't even respond to emails... I should have got mine in 2 days but received it after 7 days and even after I received it those idiots did not respond. I reached out to them via email , Twitter , RUclips and those idiots can't even reply worst 60 dollars spent atleast im lucky enough to have received it ... I'm traveling tomorrow and needed it by then... if I did not receive it the 60 bucks would be gone case ... worst support ever. Not even an email reply.
And the product is not good too ... only reason people go for it is for the finger scanner. I had the amfilm for my old note 9 and that was true tempered glass this one sucks. The glass is smudgy finger print magnet ... the glue is not even and in certain lighting conditions show up uneven coloring on the screen ... its thin and I don't think its as good as the regular 9h glass guards or the amfilms... completely disappointed.
I'm just gonna keep it on for 2-3 months during my travel and throw it off so that I feel I did not waste 60 bucks for nothing...
And whats the point of getting 10$replacement if their support sucks. My old zagg had lifetime replacement and they were pretty great
@@jyor2535, it's too bad they dropped the ball on responding to you. Good customer service goes a long way. Here's the thing. You would be more apt to be fine with a shortcoming or two if they had good customer support. Well, this is good to know, and thank you again for sharing. I happen to like AmFilm as well. So thank you for talking about that brand as well. Have a safe trip Jyo. Take care.
@@SomethingMobile thanks mate yes , i don't mind paying premium for good quality and good customer service... but this brand may have somewhat okay quality but no point. Never going back to them ...
Yo!!! Great video, exactly what i needed 👏
I had a hard time deciding what one would be best for me. I'm going with the commuter case.. Was gonna do the defender but I'm usually careful with my phones. I won't be rocking a screen protector though. Thanks again and great video.
Thank you! 🙂 I'm so glad I could help!
Had the defender Pro but the outside rubber seemed loose so I'm going to try just the regular defender
Please let me know if you notice any difference. Please ask Otterbox to send you a new case. 🙂👍
i use the defender pro. i had my phone crack from the side by the power button. that gap that you were talking about was how the phone got crack. i am going to try the defender instead when i get my phone back from samsung.
What is the best screen protector for the belt clip model? I was told AMFILM but it seems a bit tricky? Any recommendations?
Michael Breton. Totally correct. AmFilm is the best by far. When installing the AmFilm installation tray is a bit tight, and will only let the glass past it work perfectly placed. Make sure not to push down on it to make it push past the tray. This will cause a splash into the glue.
Do you have affiliate links yet? You seem like a cool dude and the video was pretty decent, so I'd like to help out and use an affiliate link if you have one.
You are awesome dude! Thank you for your kind words. I have the links. I just haven't used them yet. Weird I know. I am just learning about the ins and outs of affiliate links. Anyway, I really appreciate your support. Take care friend.
Damn you RUclips. Why am I finding this video now after I bought my case. I bought an Otterbox Symmetry.
Not to worry. I still use that case. It's a great choice. 👍🙂
Supcase unicorn beetle pro has been my go to case for years. I have the defender pro for my ultra as well as the unicorn beetle, but I've ordered Whitestone dome glass for it. I'm concerned about the push at the bottom of the case.
Wesley S. Dearman, thank you for the comment. Okay, I would adjust it up a little higher than I put the glass. Try that. You can get a replacement if needed. Watch my install video I did on the Note 20 Ultra here on my channel. I’m not just pushing my channel lol. I did the video to help you with the install. Let me know if you have any questions.
hi, does the phone pop out easily on the commuter? would this happen if the phones drops face down
Maybe. It's hard to say. It just wasn't as secure as the Symmetry. I think it is a good case though. The phone felt pretty secure in it. All in all. I think it would be fine.
@@SomethingMobile thank You for the fast reply. your video review is really a big help. I just bought the commuter as you said it feels nicer in the hand.
Yes, I like the Commuter case. I have been using it a lot lately. 🙂 Please tell me how you like it so far. I really like the value. It gives us a lot of case for the price. The little flap on the bottom. Feels nice to hold. It’s just super nice to me.
@@SomethingMobile i returned it and went with symmetry. after that i didnt like the symmetry😅 it was slippery and the camera protection isn't secured enough for me.
I bought a bodyguardz ace pro for N20U. it's thin and has a 10ft. protection and has a tight fit all over.
I wonder how this compares to the tech21 evo check as im still contemplating to buy that case.
I was going clear Symmetry but the plasma by UAG is amazing
Totally agree. I am about to upload a video showing a great looking clear case. It's coming today.
Digital Life but as nice as it is showing the color I'm probably doing the Defender because I'm very accident prone. 😂
I liked the part when you said dust will scratch your phone lol
I just got a note 20 ultra and a defender case and I don't think it has very accessible SPen access
Thank you for sharing your experience. 🙏
Want to get the black symmetry for my note 20 ultra because I had it on my s9+ but they dont have any available. Pretty sad...
Maybe Try the Commuter. It really is a nice case. Plus it's $10 less. 🙂
if i get a clear case, can i get a dbrand skin for it and be compatible?
You sure can.
The defender series case rubber cover will wear and loosen in a few months. Low quality rubber from Otterbox.
I been using otterbox cases for many many years and I have never broke my phone this cases are super good!! But there is a problem, all my Samsung phones get scratches over time dirt gets inside the case and scratches the phone from all sides top and bottom , I'm 100% sure other people had the same problem..
That’s right. I recommend cleaning the inside of the case out once a month or so.
If any clips break. OtterBox will replace it for you.
Yes, actually I do it every 2 weeks. and for my for my work phone every week I do construction so my work phone gets pretty bad but it's fine , now on my Samsung tab s6 the volume rocker is really hard It has a otterbox sense day one I wonder if that ever happen to anyone
Thank you so much for sharing all your experience. I'm wondering if that has happened to anyone else as well. Thanks again and take care.
I have used OtterBox for years but the last two phones I've had I've had the defender on in the holsters don't last very long at all the little clip part wears out fast And this new phone I bought for my Note 20 ultra The plastics coming off on the back The port cover fell off and it's just all around horrible which is sad because I've used OtterBox for years .
Thank you for sharing your experience. This update really helps.
But I should mention that they warranty is pretty good I just warrantied out mine actually tonight after 3 years of putting up with it and it only cost me 10 bucks for shipping 👍
Thanks. I bought the Defender case.
You are very welcome. I Love that case. Good choice. 🙂
But the only problem is case with phone is too wide and thick for my gimbal mount. The Defender is 84.3mm and the gimbal mount is 84mm wide. And case is 14mm while the mount is 10mm. I need to find out the dimension on symmetry and commuter cases. I can't afford not to use a case on the phone always.
@@WoodyCollins, you can cancel your order. To me the Commuter feels like a mini Defender. 🙂 You really can't go wrong with either the Symmetry or Commuter.
@@SomethingMobile I had already received and installed the Defender. I like that case since I wear it on my belt (horizontally). Can you send me the dimensions of the Symmetry and Commuter?
Great video! I picked up 2 symmetry cases so I could throw a pop socket on one before seeing this but have always wondered the difference between the commuter and the symmetry.
I have had a defender in the past.
Love your name! What's awesome about a pop socket is it will keep your phone off of the table when set on it's back. That will help keep the camera protected too.
I'm glad I could help a bit. I had always wondered the difference between the Commuter and Symmetry as well. Thank you for taking the time to leave this comment. Please let me know how you like your cases later with and without the pop socket. 🙂👍
@@SomethingMobile after watching this I remembered how much I like my old defender case so have just gone and picked up the defender pro too! I go to a lot of rowdy football matches so need to be sure it's protected there, and will use the symmetry cases for a sleeker day-to-day use in the office.
Keep up the good work!
Does the popsocket stay on them both?
Love the video, but you were doing too much with the holster clip. Lol..🤣😆
burdrchitect 1, thank you! I’ll try to holster the holster love. 🙂
@@SomethingMobile you had me 🤣 with clipping it on the watch. Lol.
I have the defender pro and the thickness does interfere with wireless charging.
You can't get it to work at all?
@@SomethingMobile only on Samsung wireless chargers, I've only tried on 2 other brands and wouldn't work.
And it won't fit in my dash mount
Amazing video as always thank you so much!!!
Mac XPS, you are very welcome! Thank you for the support. 👍👍🙂
Thanks bro i like the video
I'm so happy to help! You are very welcome.
@@SomethingMobile very helpful sir thank you so much appreciate taking time to do this.
Will the popsocket stick on the symmetry. It wouldn't stick to the phone itself because of the finish
Great question. Right... the phone has a coating for protection. Dig a little deeper into the pop socket box. Your will find a little round piece of film. That is more of a static cling plastic. Use that first. Put that on the phone then the pop socket will stick to that. As for the symmetry cases... I have to check on that. I know it will work with the clear symmetry. Maybe not the black.
It only comes with the pop socket and pop top i don't see an extra piece 😕
Glad I didn't try the install yet..the pro is all I was able to get...lol don't have screen protector on yet...waiting for your UAG reviews...hoping their big case will work..ugh
I'm fairly sure the Monarch will work for you. I'm not completely sure though. I'm going to stop by best buy tomorrow to take a look at all the case they have and try them on with the Whitestone dome on. It will be faster this way. Thank you for letting me know that you are waiting for my review. It helps to know. I'll get to it. 🙂👍👍
@@SomethingMobile no rush...get to it in your time..
Okay buddy. Thanks! 🙏
I don't feel a screen protector is needed with the glass on the note 20
Are you still debating this? If so then go with a great case.
I have a defender case but after few days my phone will not lock in the holder.
Interesting. Thank you for the update. Please take advantage of the OtterBox warranty. Thanks again, and take care.
You show how great the case clip can be used as a kick stand two ways ... only problem is that you can't see the screen of the phone, you see the back of the phone.
Then, you say (or it sounds like you say) "the case is wirelessly charging incompatible" what does that mean? Should be wireless charging compatible.
Yeah the clip is great. I show you in the video that the case is wireless charging compatible. That means it does charge through the case wirelessly. Do you need more clarification?
Do you listen to your own programs? You made no comment on my complaint. The words you used were unclear. It sounded like you were saying just the oppose of what you were trying to say. Just take a little time and listen to it. I listened more than 3 times. I stopped the view of the box to read the correct information.
Yeah, I’ll have to do a bit better a being more clear in the future. I promise I’m doing my best to help anyone watching though.
The defenfer pro is cool
It’s a great case! 🙂
@@SomethingMobile i have it on blue
That’s one thing I haven’t done is buy anything but black OtterBox cases. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
I've gone through 3 otterbox Defender cases. And they're no good. The plastic rim cracks upon impact. And the rubber back piece is flimsy. You can't really put anything on the back side. Otherwise it'll stretch the rubber and cause it to not be perfectly flat.
I’m going to upgrade to the note 20 ultra soon. I have the 10 plus and the den fender pro I love this case.
patrick jackson, always fun to upgrade. The 120hz refresh is the only thing that is worth the upgrade. The Note 10+ is such a great phone. Please let me know what is the main reason you are thinking to upgrade.
patrick jackson, also, thank you for taking the time to leave a comment.
Get a case before you buy it or make sure you buy one the same day. I have the note20 ultra and dropped it on my tile floor before my otterbox came in the mail and it just cost me $508 to repair (I never purchase insurance 😑)
Liquid screen protectors. Do it. It's 2022.
Please consider using a screen protector and putting the liquid screen protector on there just to see how well it works. That's what I'm doing right now. I just dropped my Samsung Galaxy s21 Ultra and a rock hit and chipped the Whitestone dome glass screen protector. The glass on the phone itself is just fine. I just put the liquid screen protector on the Whitestone dome Glass about 3 days ago. The glass is still broke.
@@SomethingMobile If you're rocking a solid case this is a non issue, tbh.
I emailed them and was very curious as to why there is a pro and how is it different because I've only ever used defenders and I could not find ANY differences. And the description of the two are not different enough for me to know why there is a different. They said it's the microbial coating. 😭. But like I'm not sure why they have it as two different models. Im not sure if I fine with them saying it's just the coating.
I have the PRO but I haven't added the wsd yet.
Please consider shaving a little of the bottom corners of the case off. "IF" have trouble with the screen protector working with the Defender Pro.
Can you please review cases from pelican
I'll look into them. Thank you for asking.
A good case to check out is the Gear4 Battersea by ZAGG
I really like the look of those. Hum... Okay, do you really like the fit? What's the best thing about it?🙂 Thank you taking the time to leave a comment. 👍👍
@@SomethingMobile I've had it for my last 4 phones including the S20 Ultra and it's a fantastic case. I just ordered it for the Note 20 Ultra but it's not here yet. That soft orange 3D0 interior is second to none. Looks like they changed the style a little on the new Note cases.
@@loghome7061, please let me know how you like the newer version.
Defender Pro is the best
One of the best for sure. 👍
@@SomethingMobile Got mine today at a Verizon store near me and wow it looks amazing, feels amazing and just performs bad ass, got the Defender Pro
Defenders pro is the best thanks
Thank you for sharing your experience. Super helpful.
Don't buy the commuter. At the bottom, where you plug in the phone at, there is a small piece of plastic that goes across because it's all one piece. It will break I guarantee you.
Thanks for the super helpful information!
@@SomethingMobile yes sir! I had mine less than 3 months and it broke. Currently I'm using the OtterBox defender and due to it having two separate pieces and then being wrapped with the rubber firmly, it is by far a better choice.
These camera bumps got so big on samsung this year. So many are gonna crack and people will get screwed.
Thank you for the comment! Has your phone held up okay? My phone still looks good. 🙌
Does anybody know if the defender pro fits on note20ultra with the factory screen protector?
You got a factory screen protector? That's super cool. I think it will fit just fine.
Omit the screen protector & get the Defender Pro for max protection.
Thank you for your comment. The AmFilm screen protector works with the OtterBox Defender... If you happen to want to use glass.
Their branding is ridiculously big.
Lol. Yes, it's definitely easy for others to know what case you have. If you have an OtterBox. lol
Hehehe looks some someone had joined the More Lux club
🙂
Defender pro is by far the worst case I've ever had. I've destroyed two phones due to the lack of protection in this case. Both cases broke in the same spot on bottom left corner next to stylus from falls less than 6 feet. The entire back of my second phone is shattered from it being in my pocket and leaning up against the control box in a crane i was operating. I will never buy another otter box
Thank you for taking the time to share it thoughts and experience.
I bought the commuter about 2 weeks ago I dropped my phone from the shopping cart today it completely shattered the screen is black. So disappointed
Wanted to give this comment a like, but I’m too bummed for you. I feel like it’s bad form. I’m so sorry Angel. I really do hope you get that sorted fast. So you are back out there with your new phone.
I had the same problem just took a small file and hit the top and bottom a couple times fixed.
That's a great way to fix it. Good job Anthony. 👍. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment.
Three clear Symmetry seems the best
🤣. Sounds good to me. Lol.
Can you please review the OtterBox symmetry pop socket model?
Lol. The OtterPop. I was thinking about it. I just know there is a major flaw in the design for me. Thank you for the idea, and taking the time to ask your question. 🙂👍
@@SomethingMobile what's the major design flaw?
@@philsvideos4509, I have pretty big hands so this relates to me more, but I noticed the pop socket is built in. So this means that there is a major limit to how much the pop socket can come out. I can only get the top part of my finger tips between the case and the pop socket. Unless they have changed that about this year's case. There are two flaws really. The next one is still related to the pop socket being inset though. The inset doesn't allow for the pop socket to be used as a kick stand. Both of these reasons are why I really like pop sockets. To when I went to the store to try the OtterPop on my phone I was so bummed. I really like the idea. It just didn't wake for me. The positive about the inset is the slim design. It slides in and out of the pocket better, but I want to like the feel of the case while I'm using it. Not while it's in my pocket. I really like that Otterbox and pop socket are bring us these cool designs. I just think they need some time to iron things out. Then again I haven't used the new version. Maybe it's better. I'll take a look. Thank you again for taking the time to request this case. 🙂
I have the Otterbox Symmetry matches the color of my Note20 Ultra
#RealMenWearPink
@Idimer Bartolata, the symmetry is a really good choice. 🙂👍
defender pro is anti microbial defender is not
That's correct. You got it. Thank you for clarifying.
Just switched to the note 20 ultra I use defender pro case really like it i have bug hands makes it fill i can hold on to it lol
Eric Sanchez, same here. I have big hands too lol. The Defender is such a good case. Lol.
Why would anyone want to put the belt clip on the screen that just prevents anyone from using the phone & would be annoying taking it off to use the phone so pretty pointless good cases tho have a symmetry case on my note20 ultra
Thanks for the comment. I used to think the same thing... Until I tried it.
It is good for the added screen protection I guess i honestly thought it was made to go on the back of the phone when I had previous cases that were similar great video
They look cheap.
I'm unsure if these or any other case is worth this price, but these don't feel like they are made to a less than average standard.
