I'm extra extra careful with my phone's to the long I'm not that concerned about it. I have a LTE watch also so I can leave my phone in a safe place when out and about and it's nice not dragging around a phone all the time.I suppose the question is... You have just paid around £1,700/US$2,000 for what is a very delicate phone...

It's like everything else, accidents can happen which is why there is insurance. These cases are expensive closing the gap of what insurance deductible costs. If you're a person that is clumsy, prone to breaking phones then buying an expensive phone is not the best idea anyway. My friends that are rough on phones always buy the cheaper phones for this reason.
I have found my green Fold 4 to be very slippery. Just setting it up was a challenge due to how slippery it was in my hands. I can't image using the phone without a case and not dropping it all the time. I guess those using it without a case have a lot better grip than I have.
But to get back on topic, the case situation with the folds would be a huge issue for me. I wouldn't use one without a case, and the cases all seem expensive, not always the best fitting with adhesive, and make a bulky phone something that is not even pocketable. That's a big dilemma :-\
Agree 100% on the cases for the folds, specially the fold 4. There less bezel on the fold 4 front screen leaving a small spot for the skinny black piece by hinge to stick to front screen. I've tried 3 cases and all of them that skinny piece wouldn't stay stuck to the screen, I think there's not enough surface for it to stick to.
I gave up and bought a skin from dbrand. They give some grip so the phone isn't so slippery. I also have a LTE watch so I can leave the phone behind a lot of times
I've seen several people tell us that when they traded in their old phone, they took the case off to find the back is cracked, so cases don't always protect your phone.

No, just back and camera area, not the lenses.Does the dbrand cover the front of the phone too?
Found this amazing cover that's thin and looks classy with m sport style glass backView attachment 349965

I'm still going without a case, using the dbrand leather skin. I agree with you, it feels better without the cases and I think the cases for the fold 4 are not great, most of them the front screen case won't stay stuck to the phone. I do miss having the Spen with the phone all the time, but the Spen isn't a must for me.Got my fold about 2 weeks ago. Have both the Samsung spen case and silicon grip case. Both feel good, but definitely adds bulk to the phone. Today, I wanted to try to go caseless.. LOVE it. Feels very premium and good in the hands. Thought it would be hard to hold it since on the other cases I have the popsocket on one, and the other already comes with the grip. But without a case, it is easier to hold.
I do have a Whitedome premium film skin on both the front screen and the back, so i feel fairly safe going caseless. I will put a case on if traveling or golfing for sure, but caseless feels and looks very good.
I bought a Spigen case and a Samsung case with s-pen. Overall I prefer the Samsung case. the thickness of the Spigen case is just a little bit too thick to use the device comfortably. The Spigen case also offers a hinge protection feature and the case has a slot for the s-pen. Whenever I use the Spigen case when folding open, the hinge protection sometimes doesn't glide inward causing jankyness when opening the device. Like it's in the way.Because Samsung decided to offer a killer price on the fold 4 512gb. $619 with s22u trade. I decided to give this device another shot.
Besides that, who doesn't use a case. I think part of my dislike was the stupid case before. It just adds more bulk and makes using a bit more annoying. So far this feels like a better experience without a case.
I found a full tpu protector set for the front and back. Which I like but maybe a little concerned about the edges getting scratch.
Are there any actual minimal cases for this device or is that just not possible.

Off topic here: I just got the ZFLIP4 upon launch week. Not even 3 months I dropped the device accidentally! The hinge hit directly on the sweet spot and completely broke the screen, it even lifted and I couldn't even flip it shut. I didn't have a case on the device yet and I was using a side holster.Because Samsung decided to offer a killer price on the fold 4 512gb. $619 with s22u trade.

Omg lllooovvve that color btw!I just ditched my case. Finding a case that the little plastic strip on front screen by the hinge that actually stays stuck to the screen is hard and cases are too expensive to keep trying to find one just to fund it does the same thing, and I don't want a bulky case that covers the whole phone.
I just switched to dbrand leather skin and so far I like it. I've used dbrand skins before and they are good, this is the first leather in trying.

Agreed it's too dear to NOT use a case......learnt my lesson with dropping ZF4 on the hinge.
