I'm sticking with the folio spen case. Not that I am a huge fan of it as much as I swap phones too much and I'm tired of the Sim tray being covered from the front cover.
Already have the regular Terra Guard but this was released in the USA last night so I ordered this. I used the code VRSBF2021 for 35% discount.

I like this case quite a lot. The front is very snug, doesn't move around at all when opening or closing. I am not using any of the included adhesive strips. The front piece is the exact same as the one that came with the regular Terra Guard. The rear piece with the hinge protector is pretty solid. It isn't creaking and I am not using any adhesive strips for that part either. Also, the hinge protector slides downward and for now takes a little force to operate, which is a good thing. It doesn't seem like it will accidentally open.
I really didn't know when the case would arrive. The tracking number provided was actually the same exact number from August that was the original Terra guard order. When entering the order number and email in VRS Design's website, it said to contact customer service about my order. So to my surprise, it arrived yesterday. I didn't come home until today so this morning was my first opportunity to use the new case. So who knows what's going on with how VRS Design is handling the orders.
Meh... part of the fuel for my annoyance is having waited for such a case since the a Fold 3 came out, finally having one available, and now having no clue when it will arrive... has made me frustrated, lol.
I ordered this case before these new comments on waiting. I have my USPS tracking number since yesterday, but no movement since then. I hope to see something today, but if I don't, I'm going to get pretty frustrated.
Someone commented earlier they got the same tracking number from a previous order... what is your tracking number?
Mine is (partial number): 9400...89863
I am asking because if this is not legit and they are just sending everyone the same number, it's about to get ugly...
So I just received the VRS Design Terraguard S case. Obviously going to be wider than the regular Terraguard but still looks okay. Some may be turned off by the bulk but it holds the S-Pen and the hinge protector makes it easier to hold. I am keeping it for sure.

I got this case today, and wanted to provide some thoughts, most specifically in how it compares to the Spigen Slim Armor Pro... the other case with a similar hinge protector that this replaces.

Thanks SO MUCH for this well written post on this case. I ordered it and am excited about getting it (if the damn thing will just ship already (have a tracking number, but no movement for a few days)).
I will definitely look into the Hinge as you stated. I have no issues with putting some electrical tape on it if it makes me feel better. Same thought as you for those that balk at putting some tape on it. lol !!!
The size of the hinge was worrisome, but you took care of those worries for me. I have the Samsung Leather right now with no hinge protection, so I hope the transition to this will not be too bad. I am not a HUGE fan of the added bulk, but unless I am wearing Jeans, I don't think it will be much of an issue as I don't wear Jeans much at all. LOL!
A few questions that you did not touch on too much is the SPen holder.
- How secure is the SPen in the holder?
- How easy/hard is it to remove the SPen cover to get to the pen?
- How is the case if you leave the SPen cover off and use the pen (do you have to replace the hinge cover to use it well)?
- Does it seem like the hinge/SPen cover will get loser after a lot of use or does it feel like it will stay pretty sturdy after using for a while?
Also, can you post a few pics of where you did NOT use the adhesive for the case?
Thanks and hope that is not too much to ask!
Not too much to ask at all... hopefully part of why we're all on these forums is to help one another.
To your questions.

Thanks for the information! Sweet that it does not need to come all the way off to get the pen in and out!
As long as it stay secure when closed, I am not too overly concerned about it getting looser when using, but staying shut is a must as I don't want to risk losing the cover.
Thanks again!
