Ive only tried a few cases so far but my favorite case so far is the Poetic Guardian. I prefer clear cases but also want a solid fit and good drop protection and this checks all those boxes. Would definitely recommend.
Excellent case review! I just ordered my Z Flip 4 and I am researching cases and your video is perfect, you show the pros and cons of each case. Great Job! Thanks
I appreciate your case/screen protectors videos so much man thanks! I been following your channel for what feels like years now but anytime I buy a new device I absolutely make sure to watch your coverage on accessories for it. Genuine reviews.
Thanks a lot for great reviews! I wish there's an conclusion as which one you recommended and which one you don't for someone who want shorter version. Anyway waiting for otter box symmetry for weeks and still not in here canada :( I purchased UAG one and it has the same problem as you mentioned. I wish otterbox symmetry arrive here before the deadline of return of UAG case on amazon.
@@HighTechCheck don’t forget to include what currently as i’ve been burned from usd to cad a billion times, along w/ certain items not available outside the US thx
Man, a lot of people just ignore shit, I mean, I would, cause if they really wanna know they can look it up themselves, but I respect that you decided to listen to them
The UAG Civilian case was given a thumbs down but shows a thumbs up on the screen. I just ordered this case and for me is one of the best looking and most useful for me because of the hinge and volume control protection. U can always replace the adhesive strips with double sided Scotch tape in the future.
The Otter Box Symmetry has a design flaw, it literally falls apart. I purchased the Symmetry because they don't have a Defender case yet. They replaced my Symmetry case and it still fell apart. Sent both back. Got a refund. Read the reviews on Otter Box site. Look into the caka case with magnetic hinge protection or the cocoing case with magnetic hinge protection. Easy on, decent price
Great video 😊 I bought this phone and let me tell you, it’s so so hard to find any case where I live. Unless you order something online, which is a problem. I like something that protects the hinge and those volume buttons for sure. I’m so scared to drop that phone, it’s too fragile 😂
I would need to use this in landscape mode attached to a SP Connect mount on my motorcycle. Would any of those cases be suitable to be made into one piece (maybe using strong repair tape) and clipping on and off the opened phone???
Does the i-Blason (or any of them) allow you to charge wirelessly? I have a metal case rith a ring kickstand that I love and can mount magnetically in my car, but it doesn't wirelessly charge, need a usb plugin.
Ringke and Ghostek are releasing clear cases for the Flip 4 that have hinge protectors. I wonder how they will perform. Hinge protection is a must for me.
I have been eyeing that case from Ringke from day 1, and when they put it on their website, I immediately bought it 😀 but guess what? The next day they cancelled my order on their own and said that it was out of stock and still is now.
@@CaveyMoth I even checked their Korean website as they are based there and I don't think it will be available any time soon. Maybe you can look for the same kind of case with different brands tho.
@@CaveyMoth Ringke just launched something called the hinge cover strap, well apparently you can stick it to any kind of case you want, you might want to look into that 🤔🤔
I've been using the UAG case for my Z Flip 4 for 1 month now, it feels great, and about the sticker that fixes it in the case it's pretty good without slipping even I have a hard time taking it off because of it. The adhesive is too tight, so if you don't try to remove the sticker, we won't have the most accurate assessment.
Great video, thanks for uploading. One tiny bit of feedback, it would have been really cool if you offered a quick summary at the end of the video. Either a top 5 or 10, or even just a list on screen of all cases reviewed and whether you gave them a thumbs up or down. Just something we could quickly refer to when making our preparing to make a purchase. Cos now I feel like I should have been taking notes, but instead will probably have to rewatch much of the video 😅
thank you very much for this video! it helped me find the case that fitted my concerns, the VSR with Kickstand! I also did some research and found some silicon case with a ring that would act like a kickstand. I think this was the only type of case missing in your review. thank you very much again :)
Excellent video and saves an extreme amount of time seeking the best case. It's narrowed down the selection well, even between the best ones. I will provide feedback once I've got my phone and seen and felt some of the cases recommended. Well produced and informative, well done.
Picked up the phone today! I already bought the Otter Thin Flex (I have used otter box ones in the past)...but I haven't opened it yet...I'm going to return it and order the i-Blason Armorbox case once we get back home (florida) in a week. Excellent reviews.... I just wish you would rate them from best to worst...for protection.
13:35 I wouldn't say that would protect "the best", it has no hinge protection. Also why do you guys only have affiliate for Amazon US? You're losing out. Your video sections are all out of whack too by the way. I REALLY like the look of the VRS DESIGN Terra Guard Active for Galaxy Z Flip 4, had a St. Patrick's day reduction on their official site when I looked too, took the price down to £23.28. Couldn't find it on Amazon/eBay UK unfortunately.
Flip 4 owner and already dropped and broke me phone. I can not recommend enough to get a case with a hinge protector. I always liked Samsung for their sturdy phones, especially with my previous Samsung phones, they seem to never break when I drop it. Although, with a well placed drop on the corner of the hinge will 100% break your phone and as a result will not be able to bend/touch/see with it rendering completely useless. This is what happened to me. There is a old watch maker saying, I’m sure I’m saying it wrong, “the more gears you put in a watch, the more chances of it breaking” After watching this video and with my past experience, I would go for the VRS Terra Guard case. It seems to offer the best protection. (disclaimer: I have not yet purchase the case yet) I hope this helps and good luck finding a case.
im assuming the little plastic pieces with the spigen (15) case are for customization. like stickers and stuff, so you dont have to put them directly on your phone, at least that's what ive seen them used for.
What an excellent video you made. I can appreciate the amount of time that you took creating this video. A well executed video. I look forward to future videos.
You CANNOT say that ANY of these cases that lack a spine cover is 100 protective. I dropped my flip in the samsung clear ring case. And it hit the corner and broke from within. Samsung wouldn't cover it either.
Is it so much to ask for a silicone case like Samsungs--but it comes with a little more hinge protection?!?!??! I love the look and feel of the case and the practicality of the ring (unlike some built in metal rings that can sometimes hurt), but I hate how little protection the hinge gets. The ring is pretty important to me since the phone is quite long and hard to handle. Solid handling = less likely to drop after all. However, one bad drop on the hinge when folded and its over. I really don't want to get some bulky industrial edgy looking phone that looks like its $8 on Amazon If a company just made a slim flip 4 phone case with looks, a practical accessory, and even a modicum of hinge protection--they would make so much money I bet
The silicone started peeling and cracking after one month of use and then had a drop on the hinge.... completely broke the phone. Luckily I have a warranty and have a new one but looking for a good case that has hinge protection is a MUST
I just ordered the Zflip 4 and they had the Otterbox thin flex and the regular drop flex Otterbox on Vine I ordered them both so it is interesting to see them here. The thin flex I received is blue with sparkles which should go with the blue Zflip 4 I ordered and then I was wondering about the thicker drop flex if it's hard to open as some were saying, of course, I'll test it myself when I get the phone on Tuesday and write the review, but I was curious as to your opinion.
The Spigen clear ring case looks like it would protect the phone well but I hate how much the ring sticks out. I'll probably go for the Samsung ring clear silicone case because of how much nicer it looks, I rarely ever dropped my previous slab phone so I guess it'd be fine 😅
Need to add test of powershare with the cases as it is easier to interfere with due to the materials and thickness. My Tough Armor won’t allow my Watch 5 to charge.
So here's an original idea. I don't like the lack of hinge protection with the supcase, but the clip is very robust. I like the hinge protection and reputation of the otterbox, so I now use the otterbox case and it clips into the supcase clip tightly and securely.
Warning for the silcone Samsung case. The silocone does wear out very fast meaning within a couple of mounths. I hate that because prefer sustainability. I don't want to waist materials.
guys don't get cases with hinge protection that bulges. if you drop it while opened on the bulged part it will tug and bend the phone backwards. if you drop your phone a lot it might damage the screen at the bendy part
Hey can anyone give me a tip? I have z flip 5 qnd I want to give my old flip 4 to my mom. The thing is both phones had a lroblem with preinatalled screen protector, which started to peel off just after 9 months after purchase. I don't want my mom change this protector every now and then especially vecause where she lives it's hard to find samsung service. I heard some people jusy peel it off and ise the phoen wiyhout any protector and it works just fine. Anyone who did it? I just want this pho e last 3-4 years...
Blah the DROP FLEX Otterbox is awful the case literally slides off when you open and close it the Thin Flex is much better but doesn't provide a lot of protection will be looking elsewhere glad the Drop Flex was free if it hadn't been I would be angry 34.00 is a lot to pay for a crappy case
This dude is too long and too blah blah blah this is why I go with floss in the socks baby gotta go with floss baby nobody compares with flaws flaws is the sauce
How the fuck did you make am hour long video on cases? This is legendary af.

whats your thought on the best slim(ish) case WITH hinge protection?
Great video, thanks so much! I decided on the I- blason armorbox in blue for its all over protection. Phones are not cheap so you want to protect it.😂
This is truly an amazing effort. I wish I had a video like this for every phone I've tried to purchase a case for. Great work!
Are these cases allowing for the power button/FINGERPRINT SENSOR TO WORK , no mention of....that

Thank you for this video and the time stamps.
Being able to jump to the ones I want to see is amazing.
Nice extensive video.
Is symmetry or thin flex case does not have sticker on them? Are they very tight when installed?
I got the symmetry but don’t use it as the top portion keeps sliding, which is very annoying

picked up the spingen case and screen protector ..so far so good!
Where did you get the wireless charger
This is exactly the video I was looking for, thank you for what you do! Liked and subbed!
Is the peel off stickers really necessary or is it just extra?

I have to disagree on the wireless standing charger part, I use a standing one with the flip case . You just need to turn it sideways then it works
im assuming the little plastic pieces with the spigen (15) case are for customization. like stickers and stuff, so you dont have to put them directly on your phone, at least that's what ive seen them used for.
Think you could do the case called Galaxy Z Flip4 Cat Catching Fish Case
On Samsungs site? It looks good but haven't found much about it online.
Wow! You really did some great work with these case reviews. Thank you. I'm subscribed 👍
Do you happen to know if there are any clear cases that don't turn yellow
Tech 21 turns yellow after a while, but they have a warranty and will send you a new case if you file a claim on their site
What an excellent video you made. I can appreciate the amount of time that you took creating this video. A well executed video. I look forward to future videos.
Are you going to be doing a Flip 5 video?
Id love to see you add a slide test. Like put it on a board face up face down, closed and tilt the board some cases just slide off everything
Fantastic video. A nice range if cases to choose from. Thanks a lot.
You CANNOT say that ANY of these cases that lack a spine cover is 100 protective. I dropped my flip in the samsung clear ring case. And it hit the corner and broke from within. Samsung wouldn't cover it either.
I'm sorry for your lost.
The only concern i have with some of the phone cases is that with the hardcase hinges it will be hard to use it with the car mount.
If u don't get hinge protection this phone sucks for drops, mine is being repaired after 3 months only beware of light protection.

You are correct, I will write that down for future reviews. Thank you for the comment and support.
NEVER BUY A CASE FOR THIS PHONE WITHOUT THE HINGE PROTECTION. I cant believe youre even recommending them...
Latercase for the win.

place the phone on charger side ways and the wireless charging works with samsung case with strap

I liked it myself too

Where are the once with card holders
I want something golden so I got the pibk rose to use it a White case Withe a Orange strap
You should check how easy it is to get pinched by the case. Some are way worse than others, at least on the flip 3.
Just a side note. You put a thumbs up sign on the UAG case even though you gave it a thumbs down.
🟥 Great video but....... would've liked to see msrp for the cases in the video
To bad for some cases do not work with wireless charging. Really is a no go for me.
Watching this video eventhough I don't own a flip 4 😅
It does work the clip on the back for charging…. Always test for yourself
Which case were you referring to?
@@HighTechCheck the 1 with the slide back cover and the finger ring

I used that first one.
Was there one you liked over the rest of them?
Around 48:30 it sounded like you went through puberty all of a sudden! Mom would be proud.

At the end of the video you should line up your top 5
Thats why they put sticker so it doesn't move around 😂
Where's the evidence on metal interfering with signal? As that's the case that I'd probably go for hahaha.

From #15 the index is wrong!
Never seen a dude use the ring on a phone case!
The samsung case keeps coming off whenever i gd phone and it's aggravating
my only issue is that all of these are ✨ ugly and not able to be customized except the clear cases
Ther all bit over priced...got 1 for £10
Please stop saying "recession"... it's a "recess".
there is no good case for any phone only idiots break them and covering them up ruins the look of the phone totally
