Best bet will be either the Samsung Aramid or similar case like Latercase... You might also go with a skin no case.. Like Dbrand

I have the Aramid case on mine and its the best I've found thus far.
Super thin, soft to the feel and adds nice grip and adds that touch of class.

I have a Black Dragon Back Skin on the way from dBrand.
I'm in the UK so it can take a while to ship to me.
I always put these on my phone as I like the look , adds a bit of grip when there's no cause on and helps to stop scratches.

Thank you. I've seen videos of the air skin and yes it's even thinner than the Thin Fit. It seems though that the holes aren't well aligned.

Based on this I ordered a couple of these yesterday. The black arrived yesterday

I like the Samsung cases but I'm spoiled. The Aramid case looks great but is unjustifiably expensive and there's a wait for it. There silicone case seems more of the same.

I like Samsung silicone case but I don't like the bump around the front screen. Removing the front screen case makes it awkward to hold. Waiting to find the best minimalist case and if that can support Spen that will be awesome.

That’s about the slimmest I’ve seen with S-Pen support.

If Samsung can make an Spen (small, thin and light) that's like current note phones that will make the cases as thin as possible. 😊

I wouldn't be surprised to find out that many consumers wanted a larger S-Pen, something closer in size to the real thing. I have a sneaking suspicion that's why today's S-Pens are sized as they are and not closer to what we saw with the Notes.

Any updates on this case?

Yeah I got it last night. The look of it throws me off some where the spen holder part sticks out more than the back of case but it will grow on me lol. The spen definitely fits in the holder snug. Takes some getting used to taking it out with pressure. Probably needs broken in. I know this ain't the smartest or safest thing to do lol but had phone completely open with other hand ready in case it fell, but I held it by spen alone and shook it some and the spen not budging lol. Case thin feel of course but only bulk it adds to me is where when phone is closed and I'm typing on front outer display I have to get used to the added space where spen is. Which is fine. The front case doesn't interfere with edge panel or swipe gesture for me which is good. When closed the fingerprint sensor isn't as hard as I thought it would be to use cause of the spen holder. Sometimes I miss it if I don't angle finger right but it's something that takes practice. I will say when phone is closed the spen holder and spen makes it easier to open phone. I wasn't going to use the adhesive but decided to since I feel thus will be my main case til they come out with a green one if they do. I didn't use the adhesive on the area where that antenna is above volume buttons. I like how spigen put this little spot on bottom of back of case for when phone on it back it don't wobble as much cause of camera. There is a little camera lip coverage. The case itself has a smooth matte feel too it. My only complaint so far is the hinge ain't protected. But it is what it is. Lol. Sorry for not so good pics since I traded back up phone in towards fold 3 I don't have another camera to take pics so had to make due lol. Some pics are with and without spen in.

Looks good! Thanks for the detailed description and experience. Marrying the front of this Spigen Pen case with the back of the new VRS hinge protector case might be the ticket if you want a Pen case with hinge protection

I picked up the UAG Civilian in olive, description says it is ultra thin. The front half of the case sticks out above the phone maybe 3mm. This has not impeded me using the screen in anyway. I like the design of the case and it was one of the only ones that came in colours not just black. It looks like the front part of the case does not fully cover to the edge of the phone towards the hinge. There is a mm or two difference, even after I try to reposition it. So I am not sure if it is the case or I keep installing it wrong. The other issue is the case does not have a cutout on the front half of the case for the ear piece speaker so phone calls are muffled on my end. It appears the engineers put it on the inside of the case by the big screen. The phone does not feel bulky to me with the case on it but I also do not find the phone bulky even when folded. When designers started making phones thinner and thinner I hated it. I have sausages for fingers so having the weight and size of the the Fold3 just feels right in my hands.

Yesterday my F3 took a tumble on concrete, thanks to me being an ***, it dropped about 4' and rolled on it's edges about 10'. Picked up the phone and luckily no damage to the hinge, I did get a tiny nick on the front cover next to the hinge. The case shows no damage and neither screen cracked which is the most important thing. A little disappointed there is now nick on the phone.

I have used Spigen and UAG cases on my phones for awhile now. Only ever had one phone get a crack or nick on it but the screen hit the corner of an object directly so not the fault of the cases. I also need to find a case with hinge protection, it was scary watching my phone tumble away from me with no hinge protection. Overall I like the case just has a slight design problem.

I love the dragon skin

My guess is that the reason they made them smaller to begin with on the Note is because of the integration into the device.
