Nearly all of Galaxy Z Flip 3 circumstances are available in two items, with not many circumstances protecting the hinge or providing some hinge safety. In my conversations with case-makers, designing a case that gives full hinge safety is a design problem. But when that is one thing you are in search of, a number of of those picks will shield the hinge.

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 may doubtlessly undergo some injury for those who put one thing on high of it. Nonetheless, you’ll find a handful of display protectors for the mini exterior show.

Most however not all of the circumstances on this listing permit you to wirelessly cost the Z Flip 3 with the case on. Those who characteristic an built-in kickstand, notably if it is made out of metallic, could require you to take away the case to cost your telephone wirelessly. That is a disgrace — for the Z Flip 3, I like circumstances with an built-in kickstand.

I favored 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 you can too clip the ring to a lanyard and put on the telephone round your neck. Alas, whereas I may type of prop the telephone up utilizing the ring on sure surfaces, I might have favored the case much more if it transformed right into a kickstand. 

The case is available in a number of colours.

This has the identical soft-to-the-touch end as Samsung’s Ring case, however as an alternative of a hoop it incorporates a strap. You slide your hand underneath 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 affords slightly little bit of safety for the hinge whenever you fold up the telephone. Moreover, you’ll be able to connect the top of the strap to a lanyard or clip it to a different strap (say, on a bag or backpack). 

Apart from having some utility, the strap additionally appears designed to carry some consideration to your telephone. For higher or worse, it does simply that, so for those who use this case, plan on having folks ask you about your telephone. It is available in a number of colours.

A part of Spigen’s Air Pores and skin case line, the Crystal Clear model is a slim clear case that gives primary safety. There’s some adhesive that makes certain the case does not slip off your telephone (as you’ll be able to 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 underneath the case whenever you’re placing it on — and people mud particles will present in case you have an all-black telephone like mine.
