What cases have you found?

[Prath09]

Thanks. I'll give it a try.

It's also less than half the price and I feel like it is a slightly better build.

I found the same one without the ugly "fold case original design" writing on the back. Ordered this but its not coming till next week as I live in Canada.

Yes, it's similar to the Cenmaso we were discussing above. I ordered one earlier and it will be here tomorrow. I just want coverage for the hinge after I dinged/scratched the edges on my Fold 3 after it fell on tile yesterday. I don't mind the little writing on the back.

This one adds less. Installed the case/phone is 6⅜" x 2¾" x ⅞". I prefer this over the Spiegen Slim Armor Pro. Feel the Hinge is a lot more solid and no worry of the spring breaking and causing damage. Have noticed that while the outside screen has a ¹/16" raised lip, the inside screen sits flush with the inside raised lip. Honestly not to worried, because I think with the size of the interior screen, dropping it will most likely cause screen damage that would occur with any reasonable size lip. I do believe there is a reason for this though. The extra lip on the Spiegen never let the phone actually close fully as to how the phone was designed as it would rest closed on the lips. I always felt like it made the phone a little prone to opening on its own which worried me with drops. With the lip dropped lower on this case, the phone actually comes fully closed and sits on the two small "pads" on the edge as intended and feels more securley closed. I'm also using the Spiegen camera lens guard and it fits in the slot for the camera on this case. All the cut outs are where they should be. Power button and volume are left bare, similar to how the Spigen Slim Armor pro is. The only adhesive strip it comes with is one on the left side of the outer screen, which is an odd place i thought. I did notice i could pull the right side of the outer screen about half a mm out. I just used a little piece of 3M adhesive and no linger. It was almost unoticable unless i yanked on it, which triggered ny OCD. Again, between the two I think you are losing the small lip on the interior screen of the Slim Armor pro in exchange for a car sturdier hinge protection and and a little less bulk. I was worried about this being typical Chinese junk but figured I'd take a shot for the price. Pleasantly surprised.

The case arrived today. I love it! Thanks for the suggestion. Now, I don't have to constantly be noticing the small dings on the hinge..haha.

I also ordered the Spigen camera lens protector which arrives tomorrow. Does that fit within the camera cutout of the case?

Yep...perfectly. Glad you like the case. My favorite of my four

Just a heads up, when you go to install the Spiegen lens cover, it is a very tight fit over all three lenses. You will think at first it doesn't fit, but if you move it around for a bit you will feel it snap into place.

Waiting on the SUPCASE Unicorn Beetle Pro for the Fold3 which also holds the S Pen. Hope it's not too crazy expensive.

YES it looks like a tank.
YES it will probably make the phone bigger and weigh more.
I don't care when it comes to protecting a $1800 device lol.

I use to rock the ZeroLemon 10,000 mAh battery cases all the time, doesn't bother me.

Interesting... I may need to keep an eye out for this myself.

Loses me at "built in screen protector". Never seen that implemented properly.

I'll probably be removing that if the case fits and feels good.

 

[Hermes Hidayat]

Was using the Spigen Slim Armor Pro. But got fed up with the front lip. So removed it and currently using the Samsung Official Aramid case for the ZF3 but just the back part.

Supcase makes good cases. But the built in screen protector is annoying. Either theres this purple line running the whole screen, halo effect or dust getting in between the protector and screen. Removing it is even more annoying as dust and dirt will get stuck to the place where the screen protector used to be. But thats just my 2 cents.

Alright think I have finally found the case that is my go to. Had a bunch (UAG, Spiegen slim armor pro, Terra, etc). Before this, the best I had was Spiegen slim armor pro. The stickers eventually lost tackiness and the front would move around. the hinge would pop open when being put in and out of my pocket, etc. This new case is one piece. Doesn't seem to require gluing as of my use so far (even though there is one spot for a strip) and since the case is one piece, the hinge cannot open unless you open the phone. Also means no spring, which in the Spiegen is known to break and tear up the phone hinge. it is quality made. Slightly smaller than the Armor pro. only two minor gripes...first, e camera hole sits flush with the camera. I will be putting something on the lenses. Secondly, he hinge, when open leaves about a millimeter gap compared to the Slim Armor, but honestly I think it's my OCD and is a result of where the second hinge on the back tucks into the main hinge. Love it so far and less than half the cost of the Spiegen.

Use a hair dryer to remove the built-in protector, the slight heat makes the glue come off easily.

No i didnt mean the glue. I mean the gap which is designed to hold the screen protector.

 

[Hermes Hidayat]

Just got the VRS Terra Guard. Identical with the Spigen Slim Armor Pro... But the hinge protector is connected to the back part.

These are some of the cases I brought so far.

Are you going to get it? For 80 bucks I will have to think on this myself.
