As someone who has traveled around the world and did a circumnavigation around the world a year ago, these are great options because even a light laptop gets heavy while traveling constantly.
Nice! Thanks for all the work you put into this, Shane! I have a Fold 6 and love it, but I wanted to know how to expand it with some accessories! This was literally perfect! Thanks, man!
I know aramid fiber is expensive but Pitaka's pricing is just predatory. $80 for a back case without a front case. You might as well go with Benks instead which is just half the price. Pitaka is like Lexus while Benks is Toyota.
Alot of good stuff shane. As far as magsafe phone grips. I have used EWA MagOne 2023 (Edition Aluminium) for several years, Its light, the inner strap is silicone (Have several interchangeable types, round, straight etc included) and most important for me is it is fully adjustable for both landscape and horizontal viewing angles.
Of the foldable I have always carried the most accessories with the Z Folds just due to Dex and basically making it my small form factor pc. Lot of great accessories
Ever since I bought the ZFold5 I have been looking for a case that has Magsafe and a S Pen holder. The Torras case is the best one I have found and it doesn't use those adhesive strips. I recently bought the ZFold6 and found the Nillkin case that offers both but is better since it has a hinge cover and the S Pen holder is located on the hinge side unlike the Torras case. The S Pen on the Torras case obstructs the buttons slightly and can be annoying when trying to unlock and open the phone. Definitely recommend the Nillkin case plus it's half the price of the Torras case.
I have a magsafe ESR double ring stand from amazon that works very well for magsafe. It's an awesome stand plus grip. Cool accessories though great vid as always
little detail about the latercase ( i picked one up). it has front protection , whereas pitaka does not. (both similar in price) thinbourne has front protecfion but quite a bit more expensive. HOWEVER latercase does not have magsafe. whereas the 2 others do. so there are definitely pros and cons to each company
I'll vouch for the 8bitdo controllers any day. I have the Pro 2, the Lite 2 and the Zero 2. All of them are great for Switch, Android and PC! The Zero is great for RPGs and older retro games, I'm surprised how much mileage I get out of it.
Im using a leather magsafe wallet case. Its removeable and leaves a vevety backed case. I keep my stylus in the pocket. Paired with Backlit bt keyboard with mouse pad is nice on the go. The montor powered by fold is niiiice. Dont really need it but wish i had one for when i had an ultra But fr I really like the Dex hub stand. But have something simlar but meant for ultra. Very cool. The magsafe speaker is niiiiice. Defo gettin it thru affiliate tysm for recommends!
Thank you for the many alternatives. Do you currently use the Fold 6 daily or have you switched to the Pixel 9 Pro Fold? I would like to buy one of the two, but I'm so unsure which one. I find the Pixel's external display very practical, but so do Samsung's customization options. I'm unsure whether Samsung's narrower external display will bother me. What would you advise me? Do you have some tips for me?
I can't really speak to what's best for you. Once I'm done with the Pixel 9 review, I'll likely use the Pixel 9 Pro Fold full time for a while though. I need the Pixel stuff more than I need the Samsung stuff.
@@scaryifliteral Ok, thanks for the response! Of course, that's subjective. Did you use the Fold 6 before the Pixel came out? Did the narrower external display bother you, especially when writing?
I use the S24 Ultra, I use to love the SPen, well I shouldnt say I use to because I still do BUT when I bought the Tab S9 Ultra I barely use the SPen on the S24 because I love the SPen on the Tablet its like using a real pen!!
What I don't get about most of these, is if you're gonna have to carry around a backpack for most of them...why not use a Galaxy Tab? As a fan of tech, I have a Tab S8 Ultra and a Z Fold 6 both, and I recognize most people aren't going to do that. But you could easily get an S24 Ultra, Tab S9 FE+, and a keyboard case/full size controller for your S9 FE+, while spending less than you would on a Z Fold alone. And that'll be a much better experience for someone who carries a backpack around than the experience of having a Z Fold and all these accessories.
@scaryifliteral True, which is a great reason to get a Z Fold over a phone and tablet - fitting both in your pocket and cutting out the backpack is a great proposition. But if you're adding a keyboard and a controller to your setup and you need a backpack anyway, that's when it makes a little less sense to not have a tablet. A Tab S8 can be yours for under $300, and one of the dex docks you showed was over $200. There are certainly some niche use cases, I'm sure, but they seem hard to justify over just getting a tablet.
I think my comment got deleted, not sure why it happened. I emailed you, but I think the Z fold 6 has a software or hardware issue that is not allowing it to get the samsung stated 25w wired/15w wireless charging speeds. I have posted and contacted samsung about this. I have tried 4-5 power bricks and 4-5 different wireless chargers, including the official samsung ones, and I have never seen wired charging speeds over 19w and wireless over 10w. Can you please do a video and test this. I dont have a cable that shows speeds, but the apps on the playstore i used verified it never hit the max stated speeds.
You deserve all of the subscribers you have including me fantastic list of products largely so fantastic because you own most of them and can vouch for them thoroughly Great job Glad your channel is growing You should put the red button that they send at 50,000 subscribers somewhere where we can all see it as we get you to 100,000 Great job sir!

This is how you be a power user on the go. I will be getting this stuff for my fold soon haha
Oh my flippin goodness!!!! The 8bitdo mini looks SOOO adorable!!! It's soooo tiny!!!
Nice! Thanks for all the work you put into this, Shane! I have a Fold 6 and love it, but I wanted to know how to expand it with some accessories! This was literally perfect! Thanks, man!
I really appreciate you when you make these videos. Its hard to search for accessories sometimes
Glad you like them!

Pitaka is like Lexus while Benks is Toyota.
I am still totally going to get the Z Fold 6 next month when we get off of Att. :)
Just added silver buds 3 pro, and galaxy watch 7 to my Fold 3.
Do not use buds !!! They are toxic to your brain Bro. Been there done that. Confirmed.

Dbrand has the absolute best screen protectors for these. Full coverage all the way to the edge.

I have the same foldable keyboard, and same logitech pebble mouse and keyboard. All excellent. Recommended buy.

HOWEVER latercase does not have magsafe. whereas the 2 others do. so there are definitely pros and cons to each company
Awesome, thanks for the tips looking forward to purchase a couple
Good stuff I like the keyboard and car mounts got me shopping around now lol

Great video. I just ordered 2 items!
Thanks!

I like the video just because of the todd mcfarlane, spider man shirt, awesome
Do you know how to play pc games in your fold 6?

Great vid man
Nailed it ❤
What was the case you were using on the pixel 9 pro fold with magsafe?
Either Pitaka or Thinborne
@@scaryifliteral Do either of those support a front cover protection case?
I use the S24 Ultra, I use to love the SPen, well I shouldnt say I use to because I still do BUT when I bought the Tab S9 Ultra I barely use the SPen on the S24 because I love the SPen on the Tablet its like using a real pen!!
S24 cameras are just so poor....
No bed stand like the trio to charge fold,buds pro and watch ultra?
Haven't tested one, so I can't recommend
does the spen case prevent wobble??
A bit, yeah. Better than no case for sure.
I got the case with both kickstand and strap. I wanted more protection.
What I don't get about most of these, is if you're gonna have to carry around a backpack for most of them...why not use a Galaxy Tab?

a galaxy tab is always a galaxy tab
