Pilaru Galaxy S21 Ultra Case with Hidden Card Slot
Product description
When you want your phone and a couple of everyday cards in one hand, a wallet-style case can cut down what you carry. This Pilaru case is made for the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra and has a concealed card compartment on the back.
Its hard PC outer shell and soft TPU inner layer are intended to help with everyday bumps, while raised edges add a buffer around the screen and camera.
The tradeoff is built in: cards take up the slot, and they need to come out for wireless charging. Is that a reasonable swap for leaving a separate wallet at home? It depends on how often you charge wirelessly and what you carry.
Size & fit
This case is listed for the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra with a 6.8-inch display. It is not described as compatible with other Galaxy models, so the exact phone model matters before you buy. Cutouts are intended to keep the phone’s functions accessible, and the matte, ribbed finish is designed to give your hand a more secure hold than a slick case might.
The hidden compartment slides open from the back: press near the opening beneath the camera, move the cover to the right, insert up to two cards, then slide it closed. The closure is designed to keep them in place. It can also hold a small amount of folded cash, though the slot is primarily presented as a card holder. With cards inside, the case adds a wallet function but also puts extra contents behind the phone, so it won’t feel like a bare, minimal shell.
Pros
- Combines phone protection and storage for up to two cards, reducing the need to carry a separate slim wallet for a short errand.
- Uses a hard PC exterior and a soft TPU inner layer, a two-layer approach aimed at deflecting impacts and absorbing shock.
- Raised camera and screen edges are specified at 1.3 mm and 2.8 mm, respectively, to help keep those surfaces from rubbing directly against a flat surface.
- The matte finish and ribbed sides are intended to improve grip, while the listed package includes a case and an HD screen protector.
It’s a great fit if you want your Galaxy S21 Ultra case to carry two essential cards as well as protect the phone for everyday use. It’s not for you if you need a slim, card-free case, regularly use wireless charging without removing your cards, or want more storage than the slot provides. One detail to keep in mind: the product title specifies two screen protectors, while the package description mentions one, so the included count is unclear.

The maker says the case supports wireless charging without removing it, but cards must be removed from the slot first. That means the convenient setup for carrying cards is not the same setup you’ll use when charging wirelessly.
Should you buy it?
Choose this case if consolidating your phone and a couple of cards matters more than keeping the phone completely slim. For a quick coffee run, for example, you could slide in an ID and a payment card, close the compartment, and leave a separate wallet behind. The raised edges and two-layer construction also make it more protective in concept than a basic, thin cover, though the listing does not provide test results or a drop rating.
If wireless charging is part of your routine, factor in the extra step of taking the cards out each time. And if you carry several cards, this slot is not a substitute for a full wallet. It makes most sense for Galaxy S21 Ultra owners who want everyday protection plus storage for just a few essentials, buyers focused on the thinnest possible feel or uninterrupted wireless charging should look for a simpler case without a card compartment.
