Definitely agree. Normally people don't stress too much about buying phone cases, but for foldables videos like these are extremely helpful and much appreciated!
10:50 that point about adhesive strips weakning with heat was super smart, as a high heat environment guy you definitely got me to steer clear of the adhesive style cases
you literally reviewed ALL FIVE of the cases I've been considering for my phone and you hit on all the key elements of the cases that matter most to me, I'll be getting the SUPCASE Unicorn Beetle; I've been sticking with this brand for a few years now and I can honestly say that their designs never really seem to fail to strike that perfect balance between quality, ruggedness, having a modern aesthetic, and practicality. That being said, although I am somewhat nervous of having no real protection around the hinge, I am very-much not a fan of those hinge covers jutting over the front screen whenever you even partially open it: They destroy the symmetry, aren't comfortable, add massive bulk, block the screen when using the rear selfie cam, and also interfere with with a little-known feature of the fold where you can unfold the screen to about a 45 degree angle and set it on your wireless charger where it will double as a clock for your night stand when you go to bed ( that last one is nit-picky, I know, but it's surprisingly a really really cool little feature) Had I not watched your video, I would have ended up spending (apparently) $100 dollars on the Spigen Tough Armor case or settled for the UAG Civilian and absolutely hated it since they are clearly very flimsy cases. You are a gentleman and a scholar; I thank you, sir.
Thank you for the support Trey, I also appreciate the fact that you took the time to write a detailed comment. I try to offer as much Detail on each case as possible in case anyone has a specific thing they might be looking for as well as a good assortment. I love the UB pro also, it offers some good protection while still staying not super bulky. Happy holidays!
It works really well although not a fan of the built-in screen protector, ended up (very carefully) taking it out since the case has such a pronounced edge protecting the cover screen. One thing I will warn you, the plastic used for the front of the case is clear plastic for some reason meaning if you scratch the paint deep enough, it will show through
@PixelBuster ah OK I'll probably end up getting this anyways, it seems like one of the better cases for actually protecting the phone. Thx for the insite :)
Yes! You're my hero! Thank you for being 1 of 2 reviews (out of over 50) to show how it holds in left hand as every right handed person would use it! Apparently ppl just lack imagination and can't do a proper review and hold it infolded in right hand. I want to see them operate with left hand lmfao! Well done!
I chose the Supcase UB since I want to have my phone open while I wireless charge in my car. Whilst I love the UB Pro, you can only wireless charge when the screen is closed. The hinge protector also blocks off the screen when using front screen preview mode for the camera.
I am with you on the case retention stickers. They are a problem if you need to take the phone out to do cleaning. Eventually, they will not stick when reused, OR, you will run out of replacements, IF, they even work to hold the case halves on in the first place.
I agree but why would you ever take them out to clean your phone I have had my case on my phone for like a year straight without taking it off and it’s fine
Thanks for your reviews. I personally bought the UAG before watching your videos. I absolutely love it. Only drawbacks are no kickstand and the click volume rocker could be better. The sticky components work beautifully and the hinges are protected. I've dropped the phone several times without incident. I don't use an S pen, so that's not an issue. I don't like cases where the phone cannot lay somewhat flat and therefore wouldn't choose many of those cases. Had mine now for 8 months and no issues. Thanks, again.
I hate that all the hinge protectors slide over the front screen when the phone is opened. When you're using that screen to show the camera preview it covers it up partially
@@alexhennis8630 I guess if I could have my perfect case I would have the hinge protector of the Spigen tough armor or the uag civilian case. With a detachable spend case on the back and a non megnetic kickstand on the back. Maybe like the one on the Samsung standing case
Yes u r absolutely right. That's my concern too for some of the hinge protection case. Ignore the other comment. Im currently using Araree Flex case. Superb!
Ive bought the original SAMSUNG LEATHER cover. Nice and sturdy design and feels good. Not bulky, even though the edges are raised minimal to protect the screen edges when falling. It fits very well and sticks very good to the phone. Tablet closes good. Charges nicely wireless. Good texture, ok grip in hands due to the genuine leather back cover. BUT... 1 minus: The front frame isnt leather, just plastic. I have sensitieve hands and felt it in 1minute, then i saw the sightseeing difference. Thanks for thuis vid!!!
2 things id like to add, I own 3 of those cases. And using the adhesive stickers to mount the case completely eliminates that "cheap feeling" it makes the case feel secure and fitted and gives you higher continence in the case. The second thing is, The Samsung cases do not have a "counter bump" opposite the camera to stop rocking when Laid down. where's the Spigen cases do. Its a feature worth noting
I work in construction, those adhesive stickers to try to make the case hold on better or feel sturdy, really just get packed up with dirt in a week and then the case slides off in your pocket.
Great video, by far the most extensive review on the Z Fold 4 cases that I have found whether it be written or video reviews by far. Only thing I would have liked to see is the wireless charging test done, or results mentioned, on every case. That's no biggie though, most manufacturers list this in the case info. I just subscribed because you did a fantastic job on this real review video!
I just got the VRS Terra Guard Modern in the Mint Green in the mail today!!! And I absolutely just love it it's sleek and stylish and very highly protective too!!! 🤗📱❤️
Been waiting for this video for 11 days now. Awesome work as always. Thank you for all of your hard work and time putting these videos together. I always buy the latest and greatest tech, so I always look forward to your case recommendations.
If you were picking between the 2 cases the UB Pro or the I Blazon Armor Box ..which one do you think you would choose? Which one feels more comfortable? ? Which one feels like it's built the best in your opinion?? ..thank you for your response Liked and subscribed
Another big peeve of mine on cases for these phones are the ones that have a "flap" for the front screen. They don't really protect the edge of that part of the case. If you drop it, it might even flip back and expose the whole front of the front screen to damage.
I ordered Number 7, the sprigen thin fit because the pen holder placement allows me to use my phone flat on a table as well as placing in a phone mount. It poses no issues when unlocking/using the fingerprint sensor. Highly recommend. I actually used the back of the Samsung case with the hand grip with the front piece of the spigen thin fit.
Spingen thin fit pen ..... its expensive peace of crap. have my 2nd. already within a yaer! Problem is this thin front display left edge, that cracks at the top or bottom. Won't buy anymore.
@@peppeqSK guess it depends how you treat it? Mines been fine. No issues. If it did crack, I'd just sand down the spots where it was connected and wear it like that.
Excellent review. Thank you for taking the time to be so through. If I could offer a suggestion, it might be a good idea to display the Make/Model of each case as it's being reviewed.
Thank you so much for this, just bought one because my 6 year old Moto Z4 barely charges now. Normally I don't buy a case because what I get is already atleast a couple years old and relatively cheap, but this guy I WANT to protect as much as possible. I've noted down 5 cases I'm gonna research more on amazon. Will update what I get. Thanks again for this really REALLY nice showcase.
Really appreciate the reviews! Much obliged sir, I typically like the Spigen cases but I'm always going back to the Latercase. Its so slim and actually protects my Z fold 2 and now Z Fold 4 from drops 🎉
im really struggling to choose. i really like the design of the Spigen Tough Armor, because the hinge cover slips inside the case. i want a hingecover, but dislike the ones, where it stands outside the 2 case parts while the phone is open. then you cant really use the phone laying flat on a surface. very annoying.
I remember when Otterbox was considered about as good as you could get for a phone case, then Samsung came out with the curved screens and Otterbox came out with the "screen protector-less" cases as if that was a "feature" yet still charged as much for their cases. Otterbox has been atrociously bad ever since.
The reason of OtterBox decline is that Samsung and apple started making heavier and bigger phones. The XS Max was 208gr just like the note 20 ultra, now the iPhone 14 Pro Max is 240gr and the S22 Ultra wieght 228gr.
@GH0STST4RSCR34M nobody cares about your built in screen protector, otter box made bulky "military grade" cases (commuter), phones weren't that big and heavy in the past so using one of those wasn't a big deal, now if you try using it your phone will weight almost 300gr or 10.58oz, no one wants to hurt their wrist while using his phone. That's why the symmetry series cases are their current best seller
@GH0STST4RSCR34M You're wrong! Literally just got rid of a Galaxy S8 Plus, and once again, Otterbox (stupidly) tried to push "screen protectorless" as a design feature! It was NOT a design feature, it was laziness, greed and a lack of innovation! Even the "Defender" series had no screen protector and that's pure ass! The S8 Plus did NOT have a screen protector, I didn't make it up to start a conversation, that is a fact! Otterbox has been trash for some time now!
@GH0STST4RSCR34M The best case right now for most phones is from SupCase. They are essentially what Otterbox used to be before they got greedy! They're less expensive too!
@@noventay4 The screen protector has a lot to do with that decline. Anyone who saw the S8 series cases and saw "screen protectorless edition" knew that was a cost saving measure and not a "feature". Weight may have had some influence, but Otterbox was the only case you could get back then for flagship phones with a built in screen protector. Even now separate screen protectors are not ideal, and are difficult to apply in most cases. People want cases with screen protectors. That won't change any time soon.
Which case do you think is the best in terms of protection and price? I am probably gonna get the Fold and I want to know to make sure I make the best choice.
you should also look at how the cases affect the functionality of the phone, not just the protection and aesthetics. e.g. the Spigen Tough Armor Case, which to me personally is the worst, because of the raised (too high) and thick ridge that hinders accessibility to the edges of the phone using finger without an S Pen
I'm not a fan of the built in screen protector cases. Could thr screen protector be popped out? I am liking the standing case. Wish it was a little more grippy though.
Great video! Alot of time and effort and its much appreciated! Question...do you have any plans on reviewing the Ghostek Atomic Slim or Ghostek Executive Fold 4 cases? They look nice but a review would be very helpful. Also, I mount my phone on a magnet in the car. I currently slip a metal disc under the phone case and it works great. For the Fold 4 magnetic mounting is not mentioned anywhere. Thought I would bring that to your attention. Thanks for the work you do!
Adding my tidbit. The UAG Case is the case I currently use. Yo have to let the adhesive strips set and cure. It'll let you know that in the instructions. if you just put it on it'll still let the phone go. After a couple of hours it gets really grippy. After 24 hours I had to peel the case from the strips in order to get it off. I would ask your opinion after you give it a day to really get a grip on the phone.
I got the clear cosmo case, thank you so much for your time and effort into this video! I would love to see the metal bumper cases that they make for the fold as well if its not too much trouble.
Great review of a bunch of cases. I really appreciate you taking the time to go through more than just one cae at a time; really helped me in making my decision!
I wish I had seen this video before buying a case. I bought almost all of the Samsung cases and they all had a very flimsy cover, it has snapped almost every time had bought a case this video was a life saver and know I have a good case
#24, for those who chose it like me. I recommend it if you want a good protector with a good price, and plan to use the S pen. Otherwise, do know that the hinge protector has strong magnets that messes up inner screen's sensitivity with the S pen.
??? So You Recommend it? Why? You said, it messes up the inner screen's sensitivity wih S pen. I am so confused. I'm an Artist, I will use s pen a lot. so this case still good for me? Sorry my english is not good.
@@playbunny99no he didn’t he wanted to warn people about that 24 case and he mean don’t buy that case it got strong magnets and it will disturb spen sensitivity
@@playbunny99 sorry for late reply, pal. I don't think yt notified of your reply. If you still need to know, then no I don't recommend it. I recall it was pretty annoying.
So glad I came across this video. I never knew you could switch out the stand for the pen holder. I never seen no other video reviewer mention this. Awesome job. Great review. 👍🏾
surprising you didn't talk about the flex on the edges on the first samsung case. I have had that thing pop off while opening it. I typically find that I have to switch cases based off of if I am working or off work. Having to switch cases sucks because all these new cases are assuming you are only using one case, with the use of adhesives to keep it secure to the phone. I am afraid for all cases, if you drop your phone on those side angles. But thank you for showing such a variety! Feedback would be, if you had the price pop up for each phone case, because in the end, that will be what makes someone get one over the other also. I went with the i-blason case before the video and glad i did! Thank you much!
Wish you had touched on some Amazon cases that pop up at the top of their list. I like the sliding piece of plastic that covers the camera lenses completely and I use the magnetic car holder all the time. None of your reviews touched base on those two options. I will give the Caka case a try.
I have the first samsung case you reviewed. I have enjoyed it for about 3 months now, but the top part is so incredibly flimsy! Sometimes I try to open the phone into the bigger screen and the top part just falls off completely. Def annoying to deal with.
Want to bring something up. The flex on the spigen cases is also happening because you didn't use the glue that helps it stay in place but I agree they aren't designed to absorb a fall. Also I'm using a spigen case and I have my phone on my desk and it slides alot. also on my wireless charger I have to hold it with something because it just slides right off. I also don't like the rocking of it because of the camera bump
On the Spigen Slim Armor Pro, it's definitely a great case. I had it for the Fold 2. It stops dust getting into the big screen too. I have a fold 4 now with the note case and I always notice dust on the big screen when taking out of the pocket. One other thing to note with the Spigen case... I had it for 18 months on the Fold 2 and when I took it off to sell it, the hinge had loads of scuffs and scratches. I think the hinge cover scrapes the fold hinge here.
This is a quality case review. Quick and to the point with a bunch of cases represented. Well done. First time i've seen your vids and it was an easy sub.
I have pretty much limited myself to only selecting cases which include hinge protection. These phones are too expensive to go without protecting the hinge, AND, many of the hinge protectors do a great job of keeping the case halves together and on the phone.
For those with case sticker problems. I bought a roll of cut your own sticker 2mm tape lol. Yes takes 5 mins of your time but worth when needed to remove case and add again.
The UB Pro is not good. The raised edges make it hard to do swipe gestures from the bottom. So if you use the swipe from the bottom gestures or the side shortcut tab gesture, the high raised edges make it hard to do one handed.
If you get the spigen slim armour Pro pen edition and... if for some reason you don't like the pen slot or it gets damaged, can't you just buy a cheaper spigen case, put on the front and turn it into a normal slim armour pro? Im guessing the fronts are all the same? The price is ridiculous but, its a nice case. If I didn't have that I would get literally any with full hinge protection, I dont know how companies can sell you cases that don't protect one of the phones biggest features. It's gna get scratched if it gets dropped, unless you walk around in padded rooms.x
Great video!! But I've just got myself the RINGKE Slim clear case, but it seems to have a shortcoming. The phone doesn't detect the phone closing sometimes. You really need to slam it shut or press it hard once closed to make sure the phone detects that it's closed. Have you seen this problem with any of the other slim cases? I first thought it was a problem with the phone, but it works fine with the official Samsung case with kickstand/pen slot. Any advice please? 🙏
I have had the spigen with the SPEN case on the edge, for my Fold 3 the best case, I use a car Qi charger in open and closed still chargers, in both positions.
I'm seen plenty say the Samsung case with S-Pen doesn't work with Qi charging - can you share which model charger you have that seems to work with a strong enough charging field?
Just picked up the Spigen Thin Fit P. I love this case and I used your video to make my choice. I hold the phone in my right hand, being left-handed so the power button location was actually genius and made the log in more stable as it held my thumb in the best position. The step-down opening ritual also made for a smoother opening procedure. Much more stable and less flexible than the Samsung Standing Pen case I purchased. Using the stickers, it is rock solid. And inexpensive compared to other cases.
Super video men! Thanks for all the reviews. Between the Supcase UB pro and the iBlason Cosmo, which one would you choose? In terms of security, bulkyness, comfort and looks. Thanks again!
@@HighTechCheck hi friend. Again me. I have a question for you: ive already bought the ub pro, but i have this trouble that the front edges of the cover are too wide, even write messages including "q,a or 1" is very difficult, and also it chops a little of the left edge (the hinge side) of the videos. Do you have this problem with the ub pro and maybe go around it somehow? I would apreciate a lot your insights on this. Thanks in advance.
You sir ROCK! Because of your reviews I bought the VRS case and because of your screen protector video I bought the whitestone premium film. Your videos were so extremely helpful to me. Thank you
I totally borked the front screen protector but aced the spine and open face protectors. Well except for 2 spots of dust but barely noticeable. Lol! Again I truly thank you.
Great video, what I suggest to test also is if it's possible to slide our big finger from the edge of the front screen, not possible anymore depends on the case, very annoying issue when the raised edge is too high.
Hey, great review video! Have a question though as a new Fold4 owner. I picked up the UAG civilian as it was the only case at the store in stock, but dislike it for a couple reasons, main one being the front screen bezel is much too high for me. I'm rm leaning towards the VRS Terra Guard M but can you tell me if the front bezel on that is high as well in comparison to the UAG? Hate to go from one issue to the same. Thanks!
Thank you so much for such a detailed video. I don't usually subscribe to people but I must say the effort gone into this video should earn as many subscribers as possible.
which one covers the gap between the inner display? it wasn't clear to see but it seems that there were some of them covering the gap. but you haven't mentioned this point and I think it a very important thing.
I understand the points about the stickies not holding on, at the same time I don't think they were supposed to be the main point of connection. They are ment to aid the cases snaping features the do the main retention.
My issue with the galaxy fold 4 cases is the thin part when you hold it a certain way it flexes and the adhesive strips don't help all of them stay in place
Hi, Thanks so much for this wondeful video.I have used the Encased cases for all my previous Samsung phones because of the holster. So I got one for Z fold 4 as well. There were 2 problems. 1. No placed for the S-Pen, and 2. the holster is cumbersome for a right handed person. It talkes 4 motions to remove, open and unlock.It works fine for a lefty. I was able to MaGiver the case for both of those issues. I can now remove open and unlock in 1 fell swoop. I can send you some of those pictures if y ou like. It would work all all Fold 4 and fold 3 holsters. LMK
You say with some of the cases you don't need to use the adhesive strips that they put in the case but if you don't use them then you have these little plastic tabs hanging out. Most of these cases use adhesive to aid with fit because the design of the phone is not as simple as a traditional phone. Also well I get where your coming from with the heat of the phone loosening the adhesive depending on what type of adhesive they chose to use it will require either more heat (blow dryer or heat gun on low) or a strong amount of force to remove them.
I know no one says it enough but I really appreciate these videos, you do a great job reviewing and showing the best cases before we buy!
I agree.. I just bought this phone and I needed some help.
Definitely agree. Normally people don't stress too much about buying phone cases, but for foldables videos like these are extremely helpful and much appreciated!

@GH0STST4RSCR34M nobody cares about your built in screen protector, otter box made bulky "military grade" cases (commuter), phones weren't that big and heavy in the past so using one of those wasn't a big deal, now if you try using it your phone will weight almost 300gr or 10.58oz, no one wants to hurt their wrist while using his phone.
That's why the symmetry series cases are their current best seller
@GH0STST4RSCR34M You're wrong! Literally just got rid of a Galaxy S8 Plus, and once again, Otterbox (stupidly) tried to push "screen protectorless" as a design feature! It was NOT a design feature, it was laziness, greed and a lack of innovation! Even the "Defender" series had no screen protector and that's pure ass! The S8 Plus did NOT have a screen protector, I didn't make it up to start a conversation, that is a fact! Otterbox has been trash for some time now!
@GH0STST4RSCR34M The best case right now for most phones is from SupCase. They are essentially what Otterbox used to be before they got greedy! They're less expensive too!
@@noventay4 The screen protector has a lot to do with that decline. Anyone who saw the S8 series cases and saw "screen protectorless edition" knew that was a cost saving measure and not a "feature". Weight may have had some influence, but Otterbox was the only case you could get back then for flagship phones with a built in screen protector. Even now separate screen protectors are not ideal, and are difficult to apply in most cases. People want cases with screen protectors. That won't change any time soon.
Which case do you think is the best in terms of protection and price? I am probably gonna get the Fold and I want to know to make sure I make the best choice.
you should also look at how the cases affect the functionality of the phone, not just the protection and aesthetics. e.g. the Spigen Tough Armor Case, which to me personally is the worst, because of the raised (too high) and thick ridge that hinders accessibility to the edges of the phone using finger without an S Pen
I'm not a fan of the built in screen protector cases. Could thr screen protector be popped out? I am liking the standing case. Wish it was a little more grippy though.
Great video! Alot of time and effort and its much appreciated! Question...do you have any plans on reviewing the Ghostek Atomic Slim or Ghostek Executive Fold 4 cases? They look nice but a review would be very helpful. Also, I mount my phone on a magnet in the car. I currently slip a metal disc under the phone case and it works great. For the Fold 4 magnetic mounting is not mentioned anywhere. Thought I would bring that to your attention. Thanks for the work you do!
Adding my tidbit. The UAG Case is the case I currently use. Yo have to let the adhesive strips set and cure. It'll let you know that in the instructions. if you just put it on it'll still let the phone go. After a couple of hours it gets really grippy. After 24 hours I had to peel the case from the strips in order to get it off. I would ask your opinion after you give it a day to really get a grip on the phone.
I have the Urbn Armr Gear Case on my Z fold 4, and have not had any of the issues he pointed out in this video.
I got the clear cosmo case, thank you so much for your time and effort into this video! I would love to see the metal bumper cases that they make for the fold as well if its not too much trouble.
how have you liked the cosmo case for fold 4? How's the one hand use on the front screen.
It ended up yellowing after 2 months of use and I ended up buying the spigen armor pro. With a spen holder make by rinke
Thank you. The two I like : 1. Suitcase
U B Pro.
2. Terra Guard Case, mint. Idk why. Not my favorite color but looks comfortable and durable.
Excellent choices, the mint color is actually growing on me lol
Great review of a bunch of cases. I really appreciate you taking the time to go through more than just one cae at a time; really helped me in making my decision!
Thank you for this. I appreciate the reviews I have narrowed it down to 3 cases
Great job man! thanks for actually reviewing the cases and not just regurgitating marketing info. you got a new subscriber
Really appreciate this very comprehensive video. Outstanding
For the armor box I blason case, did you take off the tempered glass screen protector for the front cover?
I was hoping you have a bulk comparison
I wish I had seen this video before buying a case. I bought almost all of the Samsung cases and they all had a very flimsy cover, it has snapped almost every time had bought a case this video was a life saver and know I have a good case
man you are absolutely amazing words aren't enough to express how amazing you are
The ub pro is the best case. But hinge does block controls on the cover screen camera
Hi, very helpful video. Would to ask, for the no 17, how much the raised lips? Is there any info
#24, for those who chose it like me.
I recommend it if you want a good protector with a good price, and plan to use the S pen. Otherwise, do know that the hinge protector has strong magnets that messes up inner screen's sensitivity with the S pen.
??? So You Recommend it? Why? You said, it messes up the inner screen's sensitivity wih S pen.
I am so confused. I'm an Artist, I will use s pen a lot. so this case still good for me?
Sorry my english is not good.
@@playbunny99no he didn’t he wanted to warn people about that 24 case and he mean don’t buy that case it got strong magnets and it will disturb spen sensitivity
He recommended it, and then spoke poorly against it. He did both.
@@playbunny99 sorry for late reply, pal.
I don't think yt notified of your reply. If you still need to know, then no I don't recommend it. I recall it was pretty annoying.
Guys, i guess I meant to say "and plan to rarely use the s pen" 😅
So glad I came across this video. I never knew you could switch out the stand for the pen holder. I never seen no other video reviewer mention this. Awesome job. Great review. 👍🏾
This is so extensive! Thank you for your time and effort.
surprising you didn't talk about the flex on the edges on the first samsung case. I have had that thing pop off while opening it. I typically find that I have to switch cases based off of if I am working or off work. Having to switch cases sucks because all these new cases are assuming you are only using one case, with the use of adhesives to keep it secure to the phone. I am afraid for all cases, if you drop your phone on those side angles. But thank you for showing such a variety! Feedback would be, if you had the price pop up for each phone case, because in the end, that will be what makes someone get one over the other also. I went with the i-blason case before the video and glad i did! Thank you much!
Thank you for your support, I will add pricing from now on. It’s always good to get feedback from my viewers!
I been deciding on a few cases but guys once i seen #17 i was blown away has everything for me now i dont have to buy more then one case 💘💘💘
Wish you had touched on some Amazon cases that pop up at the top of their list. I like the sliding piece of plastic that covers the camera lenses completely and I use the magnetic car holder all the time. None of your reviews touched base on those two options. I will give the Caka case a try.
So useful... I really appreciate you taking the time, effort, and expense to be this comprehensive... new subscriber!
I have the first samsung case you reviewed. I have enjoyed it for about 3 months now, but the top part is so incredibly flimsy! Sometimes I try to open the phone into the bigger screen and the top part just falls off completely. Def annoying to deal with.
Want to bring something up. The flex on the spigen cases is also happening because you didn't use the glue that helps it stay in place but I agree they aren't designed to absorb a fall. Also I'm using a spigen case and I have my phone on my desk and it slides alot. also on my wireless charger I have to hold it with something because it just slides right off. I also don't like the rocking of it because of the camera bump
Late to the party. Had the 80buk Samsung case replaced twice (ridiculous in less than 6 mths) before watching this. Thanks so much!
On the Spigen Slim Armor Pro, it's definitely a great case. I had it for the Fold 2. It stops dust getting into the big screen too. I have a fold 4 now with the note case and I always notice dust on the big screen when taking out of the pocket. One other thing to note with the Spigen case... I had it for 18 months on the Fold 2 and when I took it off to sell it, the hinge had loads of scuffs and scratches. I think the hinge cover scrapes the fold hinge here.
What is the color of your fold if I may ask?
thanks for the heads up. I was considering the spigen but am worried about the scratches. what do you use for the fold 4 now?
@@michaelsison5097 it was the purple one
@GH0STST4RSCR34M sorry it was the Bronzey one 😅 tbf it was in the case the whole time...
Can u tell me if i can stick a ring holder at the back?
This is a quality case review. Quick and to the point with a bunch of cases represented. Well done. First time i've seen your vids and it was an easy sub.
My favorite videos - best cases! Thanks! 😎👍🏼
I have pretty much limited myself to only selecting cases which include hinge protection. These phones are too expensive to go without protecting the hinge, AND, many of the hinge protectors do a great job of keeping the case halves together and on the phone.
Someone here mention the fold had scratches most likely from the hinge cover
@@KikyouLove yeah that's what I heard as well
Thank you bro for sharing a concise review. Appreciate the time and effort
Thank you for detailed overview!
For those with case sticker problems. I bought a roll of cut your own sticker 2mm tape lol. Yes takes 5 mins of your time but worth when needed to remove case and add again.
That’s actually a great tip, thank you for your support!
What a great video! God bless you and yours! Praying for you!
The UB Pro is not good. The raised edges make it hard to do swipe gestures from the bottom. So if you use the swipe from the bottom gestures or the side shortcut tab gesture, the high raised edges make it hard to do one handed.
If you get the spigen slim armour Pro pen edition and... if for some reason you don't like the pen slot or it gets damaged, can't you just buy a cheaper spigen case, put on the front and turn it into a normal slim armour pro? Im guessing the fronts are all the same?
The price is ridiculous but, its a nice case.
If I didn't have that I would get literally any with full hinge protection, I dont know how companies can sell you cases that don't protect one of the phones biggest features. It's gna get scratched if it gets dropped, unless you walk around in padded rooms.x
Great video!! But I've just got myself the RINGKE Slim clear case, but it seems to have a shortcoming. The phone doesn't detect the phone closing sometimes. You really need to slam it shut or press it hard once closed to make sure the phone detects that it's closed. Have you seen this problem with any of the other slim cases? I first thought it was a problem with the phone, but it works fine with the official Samsung case with kickstand/pen slot.
Any advice please? 🙏
I have had the spigen with the SPEN case on the edge, for my Fold 3 the best case, I use a car Qi charger in open and closed still chargers, in both positions.
I'm seen plenty say the Samsung case with S-Pen doesn't work with Qi charging - can you share which model charger you have that seems to work with a strong enough charging field?
Thanks for making this video!!!
Just picked up the Spigen Thin Fit P. I love this case and I used your video to make my choice. I hold the phone in my right hand, being left-handed so the power button location was actually genius and made the log in more stable as it held my thumb in the best position. The step-down opening ritual also made for a smoother opening procedure. Much more stable and less flexible than the Samsung Standing Pen case I purchased. Using the stickers, it is rock solid. And inexpensive compared to other cases.
Super video men! Thanks for all the reviews. Between the Supcase UB pro and the iBlason Cosmo, which one would you choose? In terms of security, bulkyness, comfort and looks. Thanks again!
Thank you for your support! My favorite is the Ub pro 👍🏼
@@HighTechCheck hi friend. Again me. I have a question for you: ive already bought the ub pro, but i have this trouble that the front edges of the cover are too wide, even write messages including "q,a or 1" is very difficult, and also it chops a little of the left edge (the hinge side) of the videos. Do you have this problem with the ub pro and maybe go around it somehow? I would apreciate a lot your insights on this. Thanks in advance.
Are there any cases that lay flat when opened? Didn't like the Spigen Thin Fit P.
Thank you just ordered the armor case for my Z four and Flip 4
Supcase did not disappoint me with my Note 20 Ultra, so I got the Supcase UB for my Fold 4 also. Love it!
Great selection, you have to admit for the free case you can claim from samsung as the starter kit is better that the case that came with the fold 3
Thanks Ive already bought 4 and returned 3, this will save everyone !
This is so thorough and helpful, thank you.
Thanks for the time you put into this. I liked and subscribed on my home account too. The time stamps are definitely a plus!
You sir ROCK! Because of your reviews I bought the VRS case and because of your screen protector video I bought the whitestone premium film. Your videos were so extremely helpful to me.
Thank you
I totally borked the front screen protector but aced the spine and open face protectors. Well except for 2 spots of dust but barely noticeable. Lol! Again I truly thank you.
Thank you for your support Johnny, I really appreciate it and I’m really glad my video could help you with your decision. Happy holidays!
So I got the mint green case (not many color options lol) and I went through the link from your video. Hope it helps!
Great video, what I suggest to test also is if it's possible to slide our big finger from the edge of the front screen, not possible anymore depends on the case, very annoying issue when the raised edge is too high.
Hey, great review video! Have a question though as a new Fold4 owner. I picked up the UAG civilian as it was the only case at the store in stock, but dislike it for a couple reasons, main one being the front screen bezel is much too high for me. I'm rm leaning towards the VRS Terra Guard M but can you tell me if the front bezel on that is high as well in comparison to the UAG? Hate to go from one issue to the same. Thanks!
Thank you so much for such a detailed video. I don't usually subscribe to people but I must say the effort gone into this video should earn as many subscribers as possible.
This video was very helpful, THANK YOU!! 👌👍
Thank you for the time stamps in the info! Great vid!
which one covers the gap between the inner display? it wasn't clear to see but it seems that there were some of them covering the gap. but you haven't mentioned this point and I think it a very important thing.
Found the perfect case because of this video. Thank you!
Thank you, friend!!! Great work!
Nice video. I think it would help to show the process of putting the case on.
I understand the points about the stickies not holding on, at the same time I don't think they were supposed to be the main point of connection. They are ment to aid the cases snaping features the do the main retention.
My issue with the galaxy fold 4 cases is the thin part when you hold it a certain way it flexes and the adhesive strips don't help all of them stay in place
Hi, Thanks so much for this wondeful video.I have used the Encased cases for all my previous Samsung phones because of the holster. So I got one for Z fold 4 as well. There were 2 problems. 1. No placed for the S-Pen, and 2. the holster is cumbersome for a right handed person. It talkes 4 motions to remove, open and unlock.It works fine for a lefty. I was able to MaGiver the case for both of those issues. I can now remove open and unlock in 1 fell swoop. I can send you some of those pictures if y ou like. It would work all all Fold 4 and fold 3 holsters. LMK
You say with some of the cases you don't need to use the adhesive strips that they put in the case but if you don't use them then you have these little plastic tabs hanging out. Most of these cases use adhesive to aid with fit because the design of the phone is not as simple as a traditional phone. Also well I get where your coming from with the heat of the phone loosening the adhesive depending on what type of adhesive they chose to use it will require either more heat (blow dryer or heat gun on low) or a strong amount of force to remove them.
