FINAL UPDATE: All is well. Got the new back panel with both inner screen (with factory screen protector) and antenna cover/cap. Hope this info helps others that might be in a similar situation.

UPDATE: While out mailing my Tax Return, I decided to stop by my local UBreakIFix to see if they could replace the antenna cover/cap. I also told him that it was one of my earlier cases with adhesive tape that was the culprit, but I never noticed it was gone until recently. He stated the whole...

By the way, I'm proof there are "lurkers" as I've been reading this site for years but rarely post anything. Great site for info and sometimes just entertaining dialogue!! Nice to see folks passionate about their tech!!!

Yep. Sure did. Not there. Next step is to check my vacuum cleaner bag ;)

You're welcome. Wish I'd watched this video BEFORE installing cases with adhesives in that particular area. Again, I've had the Z Fold 3 phone since September 2021 and installed and removed many cases. I only now noticed the missing cap as I was preparing my phone with a new SIM card (migrated...

Great question. Problem is I've had about 7-8 different cases on at different times -- yes, I'm a case-aholic ;-) My advice if tape is in the area of the case that covers the antenna cap then either remove the tape in that area OR do not remove the plastic cover over the tape. Here are a...

Thanks. I may take it to a local UbreakIFix to see if the part can be ordered. It's weird, as I think it's been off for awhile but my reception seems to be unaffected. As I always have a case on, the area is covered.

Hello, Right above the volume knob on the Z Fold 3 there is a 2cm long section that is apparently the cover/cap for the 5g Antenna. Turns out that mine has come off and I have no idea where it went (i.e., it is lost) -- not sure when but I'm sure it was the adhesive from cases that did it. Can...

UPDATE: Sent the case back with documentation from Sprint Store tech people who verified the case was defective AND a copy of the invoice/proof of purchase. Days later get an email from Samsung stating they needed proof of purchase. Even though I had included that with the case, I called Samsung...

Thanks for the suggestions. But I took it to a Sprint store where they put another Note 9 in it and confirmed the case is defective. So I contacted Samsung support who sent me a UPS label to return the case. I'll update this thread once the replacement case comes in. I hope this is an...

Thanks. I just got the email back from Samsung tech support and they also suggested trying another phone in the case. I may go to my local Sprint store and see if they can test out the case in another Note 9. If it's the case, Samsung said they would replace it.

I've tried turning the NFC on then off, etc., but no change.

I have had the Samsung LED Case working beautifully on my Note 9 for nearly 2 weeks until today when it just stopped working. There has been no physical damage to the case or phone. Additionally, when I look for the settings under accessories, the LED case does not even show up. I did a wipe...

Thanks for the input. I've tried 2 S-pens, including an OEM replacement. Again, it's very intermittent. When I get more time, I'll explore this more. I do know that when the "bleeding" occurs, I can usually get it to stop either by pressing the S-pen firmly on the screen or rubbing the tip on...

Thanks. I ordered a Samsung replacement pen and the same thing happens occasionally. It actually happened again today and I rubbed the S-pen tip on my couch fabric. That seemed to help at the time. Again, it occurs fairly randomly.
