Not like the greatest instances for Apple’s iPhone 14 and even the Galaxy S22 or newer Galaxy S23, the variety of firms making foldable telephone instances for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 is comparatively small. Because of its more moderen launch and unusual folding design, there are fewer choices to select from when searching for a Z Flip 3 case. That is not essentially a foul factor: With competitors as fierce as ever, and exacting followers removing the surplus, our decisions from the instances which might be accessible give attention to options, grip and uncompromising type.
Need assistance with evaluating merchandise before you purchase? Learn on. I will be updating this listing as I check out extra instances (sure, I’ve tried all of the instances on this listing), so you will get the perfect throughout safety and discover the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 case of your desires.
Do Galaxy Z Flip 3 instances defend your entire telephone, together with the hinge?
Nearly all of Galaxy Z Flip 3 instances are available in two items, with not many instances protecting the hinge or providing some hinge safety. In my conversations with case-makers, designing a case that provides full hinge safety is a design problem. But when that is one thing you are in search of, just a few of those picks will defend the hinge.
Are there display protectors for the Galaxy Z Flip 3?
No, Samsung does not promote — or permit anyone to promote — display protectors for the primary entrance display of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3. The Z Flip 3 makes use of a high-tech bendable show that I assume might doubtlessly endure some injury if you happen to put one thing on high of it. Nonetheless, yow will discover a handful of display protectors for the mini exterior show.
Do all instances permit wi-fi charging?
Most however not all of the instances on this listing permit you to wirelessly cost the Z Flip 3 with the case on. People who characteristic an built-in kickstand, significantly if it is made out of metallic, might require you to take away the case to cost your telephone wirelessly. That is a disgrace — for the Z Flip 3, I like instances with an built-in kickstand.
Out there in black or lavender, Spigen’s Skinny Match has a two-piece design with a soft-to-the-touch end. It is a simple, light-weight case that appears good in your telephone. There is no hinge safety.Â
Speck solely makes one case for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 and it is a good one. The Presidio Good-Clear Fold is rated for 13-foot drop safety, and it is probably the most protecting clear case I attempted, though there isn’t any hinge safety. Grip this Flip cowl, and take a look at it out.
I appreciated Samsung’s Silicone Cowl with Ring. It is protecting, it has a pleasant soft-to-touch end and there is that in-built ring that helps stop you from dropping the telephone — and it’s also possible to clip the ring to a lanyard and put on the telephone round your neck. Alas, whereas I might sort of prop the telephone up utilizing the ring on sure surfaces, I might have appreciated the case much more if it transformed right into a kickstand.Â
The case is available in a number of colours.
Gear4’s Bridgetown case shares some similarities with Spigen’s Robust Armor case (see beneath). It, too, is a tricky case that solely is available in black and has some good hinge safety. Among the finest protecting instances for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3. I solely want it have been accessible in additional colours, or a transparent model.
Otterbox makes solely two instances for the Galaxy Z Flip 3: the Skinny Flex and this one, the Symmetry Flex. Alas, the Skinny Flex Sequence feels low cost and is tough to get off your telephone after getting it on. Nonetheless, the sturdy and extra engaging Symmetry Flex qualifies as a high case for the Z Flip 3. It is a translucent case with a black border round it that exhibits off your telephone a bit whereas providing good drop safety. I solely want it got here in additional colours.
Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 3 5G Leather-based Cowl is its equal of Apple’s leather-based case for the iPhone. It is costly, however good — and slim. Whereas it does not supply fairly as a lot safety as a few of the instances on the listing, it is one in all my favorites and if you happen to get it in a brilliant colour like mustard, it makes your telephone simple to identify. It is also accessible in inexperienced and black. The most important knock in opposition to it’s that it is costly, however you possibly can sometimes discover it on sale for round $40.
This has the identical soft-to-the-touch end as Samsung’s Ring case, however as a substitute of a hoop it incorporates a strap. You slide your hand below the strap (and behind the telephone), which lets you get a grip and maintain on to your telephone with out actually wrapping your fingers round it. It is primarily a safety strap. The strap additionally gives a little bit little bit of safety for the hinge whenever you fold up the telephone. Moreover, you possibly can connect the top of the strap to a lanyard or clip it to a different strap (say, on a bag or backpack).Â
Other than having some utility, the strap additionally appears designed to carry some consideration to your telephone. For higher or worse, it does simply that, so if you happen to use this case, plan on having folks ask you about your telephone. It is available in just a few colours.
Spigen makes just a few instances for the Galaxy Z Flip 3. As its identify implies, the Robust Armor is sturdy and gives probably the most safety in Spigen’s line. It is also the one Spigen case that has an built-in protecting protecting for the hinge.
So far as protecting instances go, it is top-of-the-line and is simply lacking an built-in kickstand. I additionally sort of want it got here in additional colours. Black is the one possibility for now.
A part of Spigen’s Air Pores and skin case line, the Crystal Clear model is a slim clear case that provides primary safety. There’s some adhesive that makes positive the case does not slip off your telephone (as you possibly can see from the picture, I did not pull off the little tab to show it). It is exhausting to not get a mud particle or two trapped below the case whenever you’re placing it on — and people mud particles will present when you’ve got an all-black telephone like mine.Â
Aramid fiber is actually Kevlar, so this case manages to be sturdy however slim. It has a soft-to-the-touch end and is simple to grip. Lots of people like this case, although it appears easy and it is costly. It provides little or no weight (and measurement) to the Z Flip 3 and appears protecting.Â
This is not a telephone case per se, however if you happen to’re in search of some added safety in your Z Flip 3’s exterior show, Spigen sells an exterior display protector in a two-pack. It suits across the lenses and over the again show and will work high-quality with most instances, though it does pair greatest with Spigen instances. (Not all Z Flip 3 instances’ cutouts across the again show are the identical dimensions.)
In the event you’re in search of an inexpensive case with an built-in ring that converts right into a kickstand, this Vego is an efficient possibility, although it appears extra premium on the floor than it truly is. It additionally sells below different model names on Amazon. I can not inform you the way it will maintain up over time, however it has some good options, together with a canopy that slides as much as defend the telephone’s digicam and it will stick with a magnetic automobile mount. The one massive draw back is that it doesn’t assist wi-fi charging.
