I ordered one of these also. I have one on my fold 7 and it's a great minimal case

I have it on the S25U but that was before the Aaron button. Actually they make a more protective one now too.

Are cases seriously this expensive now? Like $60 even $90? I am upgrading from a S10+ so I haven't looked at cases in years. I paid like $20 for my S10+ case so I was shocked at the prices I was seeing.

Yes, I had the same thought. If you look thru Amazon, there seem to be some very nice cases in the $10 - $20 range. (Post in thread 'S26 U Cases and Accessories' https://forums.androidcentral.com/threads/s26-u-cases-and-accessories.1086226/post-7284065)
I ordered four, one of which is a Ringke for $39.99 just to see if there's an appreciable difference. If there isn't or if it's just marginally better, back it'll go.

You're buying a $1300 phone and $60 is high for a case??

I suspect his point was one of reasonable value/pricing.

That's going to depend on what you're looking for, I to have protection when I get the phone, I ordered a Rincke clear for $17 on Amazon, then I'll see when the excitement passes and the prices drop, good luck.. You're going to love the difference between 10 and 26.

Yes it is. The price of the phone has zero to do with the price of a case.

There used to be a sign in a motorcycle dealer. If you have a 10 dollar head buy a 10 dollar helmet.

To each their own. To me if your spending $1300 on a phone a.$60 pitaka case, Dbrand case should be irrelevant. I've bought cheap cases and expensive cases in the past, the cheaper ones to me, key words here, "to me" are cheaper for a reason.

Samsung cases are on the expensive side.

Did anyone else see the video of the magnets on the back of the 26U messing up writing on the screen using the pen. It would break up the line someone was drawing across the screen exactly where the magnet would be behind the screen.

Guess that explains why they didn't put magnets inside?

Yes I've seen that video and I believe it happens even on older models messes with the s pen

I got my Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro today! I know the s26U is slightly bigger than the S25 Ultra but the s26u Beetle is quite a bit bigger next to my S25U. Case seems beefier too. I like that. Bigger case and phone the better. I think I'll be happier with the slightly larger phone and case!
