OtterBox Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Defender Series Case - Black

First off this is a great all around case. It comes right up to the edge of "too much bulk to carry in my pocket every day" but it's worth the protection for me. As others said the back of the case can catch on the inside of your pocket since it has a grippy surface, but it's not that bad.I go to a lot of music festivals where theft is a problem. This case is amazing for that for 2 reasons:1) The case has multiple parts that fit securely together. It takes serious time and effort to get them off if you don't have the instructions. So if your phone is tethered by the case then thieves can't just rip the case off.2) It has an attachment point for tethers and straps on the bottom corner built right into the solid plastic. I didn't see this mentioned before I bought it but it's a great bonus. If you use a phone tether of any kind at festivals (you should!) then you can attach it here at a connection point that can't be cut. If you have pliers you can also get a small key ring through this point for extra security.

Otter-box covers are the ONLY Samsung Galaxy phone covers I will use. I purchased an otter box for my S3, my S9+ and my current S25 Ultra. I have dropped my cell phones for years on all kinds of surfaces and even sent my S9+ through the wash cycle in my washing machine - and have never had an issue with my phones. There was a five day layover from when I purchased my S25 and my Otter Box arrived and I was nervous and overtly careful until I could get the box installed. They are durable, easy to install and are way worth the price.

Have always gotten otter cases for my Samsung phone. I recently upgraded my phone, from a Samsung Note, My note otter case lasted 6 years without needing to be replaced , One screen break and it wasn't even the front of the phone it was the back camera my fault from a rock. To put into thoughts to create a picture. Otter cases themselves last a very long time and it is not common to replace them. with that being said I have now upgraded to a Samsung s25 ultra, and once again going to the defender series otter case as I have trusted it for years. I am unable to say how well it fits with a screen protector due to not having one on my phone however, the case itself took a minute to disassemble to reassemble. It sits in a plastic chell then into a rubber shell, I wouldn't exactly say it's bulky but it's also not exactly slim either. The ultra is a large phone, I wasn't looking for something that makes my phone smaller than it is. I always get the defender cases for my life style. I drop things often. I believe $60 some is a value for money givin I probably won't need to replace this case for some years to come. With that being said I am able to access my stylus easily and my regular phone buttons work just fine.

I’ve always bought otter box for every phone I’ve had. These cases always hold up and are definitely worth the money.

Has protected my phone through several four foot drops onto hard surfaces.

Product description stated a clip holster was included. This is the whole reason he loves this case. It did not come with the hoster and if you buy one, yours will not come with one. Attempted to contact seller. It said oops there was an error. I had to use my laptop to retry. It sent me to the Otterbox website. I came to a dead stop with no resolution. I decided to try the chat window and stated the problem. It said there was a redemption card for the holster in the case box. So I looked and it was there. So now I have to seperatly order this holster "for free" as another step. I attempted to do that, and low and behold, it states it is out of stock. What a ridiculous way to do business. Case is useless to him without the holster. The case is going back and we will have to find something else. So, don't buy this if you need the holster to go with it. What an absolute waste of time.

The case is great- minus the charging port cover.. for some reason port cover on the OtterBox S25 Ultra Defender case does not open towards you (when the screen is facing up), it opens like a car trunk. Which makes it difficult to see the port when facing the front of the phone, and hard to charge it while in a hands free car mount. It's so ridiculous I think it's defective. Also, there was no screen cover "protection" like older Defender cases that completely encased the phone. This is ok as we didn't want that. There was no belt clip or holster included either, although the description claims there is. Just so you know folks.

Great Case for my new Galaxy S25 Ultra.
