Question Case for flat use of Fold4 - Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4

Keen to find a protective case that allows the Fold4 in tablet form factor to lay flat on a hard surface. Any ideas?

Are you look for a full protective case or the split pieces? These are the two I found that provide full coverage and allows for it to lay flat.

Apparently the free case with Spen you get from Samsung can be used as flat. The spen part is removable and you get a kickstand. Thats what it looks like from the pics on the Samsung site

My only concern is the hinge part as it does not offer protection there.

I had that Spigen case on my Fold 2 and it was wonderful.
When I got the Fold 3, of course I bought the same Spigen case without a second thought. Unfortunately, my experience was horrible. The hinge on the case jammed every time I opened the Fold 3, and the front of the case kept coming off. I returned it.
I think I will try this Urban Armor for the Fold 4 this time around

need something slim with adhesive and also protects hinge

Ordered this one - and it is going back to Bezos - on the front screen, I could not press the "1" key reliably.

There are so many cases without hinge protection, and there are so many cases with added extras which -- I assume -- add to their weight.

Hinge protection is a challenge this year. You could put a film on previous models but the tolerances in the hinge are so tight on the Fold 4 that even the thinnest film will get scraped off by the hinge mechanism.

See attached photo. If you have the Samsung S Pen case, if you remove the pen silo you can use to keep the Fold 4 totally flat for making notes in meeting. Place the silo edge under the LHS of the Fold 4.

I bought this one for both mine and my wife's Folds. I don't care for hinge protection as it makes the phone too bulky for my liking, so that wasn't high on my priority list. This case seems to offer decent protection, it lies flat, and with the side mounted S pen holder it also acts as a handle. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B5CZYR4F/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Some pics would be realy realy nice, so everybody could see how it fits and if they could get used to it.
EDIT: Also you can add the SGP Neo Hybrid and SGP Neo Hybrid EX to the list. First one has a loose are around the camera (as seen in another thread) and the other one fits nicely.
I would put some pictures up but I don't own all of them, and a few I've checked out in Retail stores, however If I buy any that fit, i'll make sure I post up photos of the fit.
Then just put the pictures in you own. Some others who have the extended battery and a case could send you their pictures and you could implement them into your post.
When I get my S2, 2000 mAh battery and decided for a case i will do some pictures for you, too.
PS: You could link every name of the cases to their official pages, too.
Here are some:
SGP Neo Hybrid EX: sgpstore.com/cell-phone/samsung/galaxy-s2/sgp-samsung-galaxy-s2-case-neo-hybrid-ex-series.html

Case-Mate Barely There: case-mate.com/Samsung-Galaxy-S-II-Cases/Case-Mate-Samsung-Galaxy-S-II-Barely-There-Cases.asp
Hope I can help improving your thread I think your thread can help very many people.
Would love to know about the Otterbox Commuter compatibility.

Hi all!
Yes, as most soft cases the Graphix fits, but you'll see some looseness in the camera section. Also, I did not like the grip of this case at all, it felt slippery imo.
I went for the Neon hybrid instead, very satisfied.
How tight is the fit on the Case Mate Tough case with the 2000mah battery? I like the look of it and just placed an order for it. Is it so tight that there's a risk of damaging the phone?
Zenus Skin Air Jacket
Just got the new battery and put it in my Zenus Skin Air Jacket... dont know what to say... sadly it doesnt fit... but its useable.
The edge of the phone comes out a bit and therefore the access to the volume and powerbutton is limited.
I made some photos but cant post the links due lack of postcount
The Walnutt bumper fits for sure, but hell, it it even fits my Momax 2700mah Expower batts, so that's a moot point.
I am within the M25 and have an otterbox for my S2 if you need to try it then pm me.
what is the sense of using a bumper of a sgp neo hybrid ?
i mean, isnt the purpose of a case to cover the whole phone? both the examples above mentioned appear to just cover the borders of the phone, leaving uncovered the whole back of it.
actually sgp neo hybrid series sounds just like a overpriced bumper.
anyone, can prove the opposite?
actually i am very interested in this because it looks like there is no real hard non/bumper case fitting with the new battery: and the only (crappy) solutions appear to be either bumpers or gum/rubber cases ...

IT fits but the rubber part is under a small amount of pressure, pushing the phone out of the hard plastic casing. it is MINIMAL, if your like me and fiddle with your phone all the time, it is just a case of pushing it with the lightest touch back in.
It won't damage the phone unless your trying the impossible (pushing the phone into the bottom cutout.) and pushing so hard you crack the hard plastic shell in otherwords impossible. the ideal would be to cut the rubber out in the shape of the battery lid compartment. on the rubber part, then assembling with the hard casing. so you remove the tension off the added thickness.
if I have a hybrid neo spg .... and put the battery without the back cover ... only with the case spg ... looks good? or can cause problems? (Sorry for my English)

Cool. Thanks for the detailed description. I hate to mangle new case, but I may have to do that. Wonder if cutting out the battery compartment rubber part may reduce shock resistance of the case.
Can anyone tell me if it will fit in the Samsung Leather Pouch?
If not are there any other 'pouch' style cases that will?
thanks

I have this one, but then in black.
It is very nice for the money, good grip, and cheap
Does it cover camera nicely?
I got mine Protective Rubber Gel Silicone Case for Sumsung i9100(black) at mininthebox.com, they have a pretty good selection, dirt cheap prices and free shipping.
You do have to consider if you have a Korean or non-Korean model, because most cases will cover the TV antenna.
I've got this mesh case.. It's actually a very good case for the money.. Does not differ much from an original Samsung mesh case (which i had for my SGS1).

i t look nice and feel good but last about 3 week the top benzel keep getting loose so i wenty back and got a D30 flex protective cover.It great so far
I just saw these cases and was intrigued by them: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Her...094614?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2a1642ac16 Does anyone know if these are a good fit? I think im gonna try them on my SG2 but I was wondering if anyone else had any experience with them?
Has anyone tried the incipio feather case? Looks nice. I hate cases that make the phone heavy.
I just got and installed the incipio silicrylic case, got it for $25 with online coupon. Fits perfectly, adds just the right amount of weight, and the phone feels really protected now. I'm glad I got this one - the feather light case looks nice too - but this has that case with a snap on plastic shell that fits and looks great!

[REVIEW][VIDEO] Ballistic SG MAXX Series Case for the Samsung Galaxy S3 (SIII)

http://youtu.be/tKm14N17aSk
On Saturday, we headed out to our local mall in an attempt to find a case for our new Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 that we purchased off of Craigslist. As no surprise to us it was easier to find accessories than the actual phone. As you know if any phones are out there, they were probably a pre order. Sprint stores just began selling today.
AT&T had the best selection actually. There were a few Casemate cases, Body Glove, the Samsung flip cover thingamajig, and this Ballistic case. Since there wasn't an Otterbox anywhere to be found locally, I pulled the trigger on the Ballistic case.
On their website it appears that the silicone portions are very well manufactured. You don't see the little ridge going around it (probably from two pieces put together) and the other imperfections. That makes it really look like a premium product. Otterbox pretty much has their manufacturing process down to a science.
One thing they note on the clip is that the device can only be mounted faced towards the inside. This is great, but I do like option on most Otterbox Defender cases where I can turn it outwards. The clip swivels 360 degrees. That's definitely a plus. It's annoying when clips can't spin the full 360 degrees.
Here are some details from their website:
It’s time to live your life to the Maxx. The Samsung GALAXY S III’s minimal and organic design is reflected in the smooth and non-linear lines of the device. Its human-centric nature provides an ergonomic and comfortable experience with enhanced usability.
Our Ballistic SG Maxx Series offers 4 layers of the best engineered drop protection on the market. This baby offers a durable holster, port covers, a no-slip grip, reinforced corners, but most important a replaceable, rigid, screen protector that provides amazing impact protection.
Advanced four layers of protection
Layer 1 - Molded screen protector provides impact protection for your screen
Layer 2 - Ballistic shock absorbent polymer
Layer 3 - Tough impact resistant polycarbonate shell
Layer 4 - Soft silicone equipped with reinforced Ballistic Corners™
Includes lay-on-table feature - screen will not touch the surface when layed flat on a table
No-slip stability when layed face down
Integrated port covers
Extremely durable horizontal holster
Rigid screen protector provides impact protection and is user replaceable
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you really think you're going to stay with this device and case for a while the user replaceable screen protector might be an advantage to you. The plastic screen protector will probably offer more impact protection that a ZAGG InvisibleSHIELD or something similar. However, especially when looking a white screen, you can tell how much worse the view is. You can see all the colors of the rainbow. This does happen with most Defender screen protectors I've seen and to a little extent in other products. Good news here is that you can replace that portion with a ZAGG or whatever you desire.
You can lay the phone face down with this case. I find this handy in office environments where you don't want people to know that everyone including your mother are blowing up your phone with texts or Facebook messages.
I'm not keeping this case, but it does offer a lot of protection. I think I'll keep my S3 sleek and sexy for now.
MSRP $49.99 (cost $50 at AT&T store)

I already know one person who might respond that this is not the SG MAXX case, but it is. Just saying that I honestly don't believe they would push out 10 of these cases to one store with some the wrong labeling.
By the pictures on their site you can see that the plain SG series does not come with a clip AND there is no 3.5mm headphone jack port.
On the bottom, by the capacitive touch buttons I do have a bump that makes it harder to hit the menu and back buttons. On their website neither case has these. They might have made changes. This could be an early production run. I'd hate for them to have added them later. The cut of the silicone just isn't clean in my opinion, and I'm really not a big stickler on stuff. It just looks like something with a made in China sticker.
Man i used Ballistic with all my other fones seems they dropped the ball with the one for the S3 what were they thinking with the clearance of the buttons

This is a nice comparison of the Ballistic case for Galaxy S3 vs Otterbox Defender. They show the size difference also
http://smartphonepedia.com/galaxy-s3-otterbox-defender-vs-ballistic-case.html
I just picked up the regular SG case for my S3 and I am not really impressed. My biggest gripe is that there is no protection for the camera. I was wondering if the SG MAX or otterbox case provided these.
Also, the SG caused my SD card to mount and un-mount very rapidly. Not sure what was happening there. The SG case is also causing my ArmorSuit skin to peel around the edges.
My experience with the S3 has been less than ideal.
The silicone feels very cheap on this case and that screen protector is the dumbest thing ive ever seen. And you do have the ballistic maxx the person who was posting on your youtube video dosent realize when ballistic says 5 layers of protection there including both the holster and screen protector

I figured they were counting anything they could as a layer. That person is on XDA. They just wouldn't stop arguing so thanks. I'm glad Ballistic didn't donate this product because I had to tell the truth!

Question Pre-ordered Fold 4. No Aramid cover?!

I loved the Aramid case/cover from the Fold 3. Doesn't look like Samsung are offering it (yet?) for the ZF4? Anyone found a solid alternative yet? I know the Latercase can be pre-ordered but it's at least a month out for delivery.
I couldn't find either so pre ordered the later case, ill just grab a ringke or spigen from Amazon to have if the latercase shows up late.
There is one on Amazon that I am considering, but not from Sammy. It is also kind of pricey!
I see there's a "GooseBox" carbon cover on Amazon now. Hmmmm.
Had the Aramid on my Fold 3 since launch and love it. Other than Latercase I've only found a decent collection on AliExpress and some of those shipping times aren't so great.
I have the latercase and the samsung one for my fold 3 but mostly keep the latercase on it. Just seems to feel better in hand and i like the weave better
The latercase drops the teardrop cutout around the flash LED, finally! It's pricey and by the time it ships (it's at LEAST FOUR WEEKS out!) the cheaper alternatives will show up on Amazon. i.e. Timecat
Only positive reviews about the case and store from Fold3 users. So I ordered this...

I like the closer cutout of the Latercase. I suspect those will be available in the Chinese channels shortly as well.
