Best Heavy Duty Cases for Galaxy S20 in 2021

This rugged clear case from Ringke is the perfect solution for folks who hate how cases cover up the design of the phone. You get a rugged bumper that protects where it matters most with a clear PC backplate to show off your new phone.

Urban Armor Gear makes some of the finest heavy-duty cases you can buy. Plasma Series cases are lightweight with grippy elements, and the semi-transparent backplate nicely accentuates the color of the S20.

A perennial favorite, the Supcase Unicorn Beetle case is a heavy-duty case that offers top-notch protection. The design includes a front bezel that guards the screen without covering up the screen, and you also get an optional swiveling belt-clip holster.

Most rugged cases are solid colors, or if you're lucky, a basic pattern. Not so with Skinit's Pro case, which you can get with your favorite sports team, comic book character, or even designs from Disney and anime franchises.

This Born-in-Texas case is another great heavy-duty option for your Galaxy S20. The rugged design includes a front plate bezel to protect the display and a fold-out kickstand for your convenience.

Most heavy-duty cases can withstand drops of maybe 8-10 feet, but Gear4 goes above and beyond with the Battersea, which uses D3O materials to help absorb impacts from up to 16 feet. There's also a sizeable buffer around the camera module.

The name OtterBox is pretty much synonymous with heavy-duty cases, and the Symmetry Series is the more pocket-friendly style that still offers dependable protection. I've highlighted the clear case here, but there are other colors available.

Spigen's Tough Armor case is one of the most rugged dual-layer cases you can buy. Spigen offers great protection against drops, and the backplate is available in Black and Gunmetal Grey.

Speck's rugged case features its iconic ridged pattern across the back to help you keep a grip on your S20. I'm personally a fan of the Marabou Purple, and the case has Microban protection baked in.
