Within the wake of the launch of the Z Flip 4, you might need discovered an excellent deal on final yr’s mannequin — and when you’ve bought considered one of these smooth Samsung foldables, you may wish to be certain that your gadget is protected in opposition to drops, scratches and dings.

    In contrast to the finest instances for Apple’s iPhone 13 and even the Galaxy S22, the variety of firms making instances for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 is comparatively small, due to its newer launch and distinctive design, so there are fewer choices to select from. However that is not essentially a foul factor.

    Do Galaxy Z Flip 3 instances defend all the cellphone, together with the hinge?

    Nearly all of Galaxy Z Flip 3 instances are available in two items, with not many instances overlaying 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 on the lookout for, a number of of those picks will defend the hinge.

    Are there display screen protectors for the Galaxy Z Flip 3?

    No, Samsung would not promote — or enable anyone to promote — display screen protectors for the principle entrance display screen of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3. The Z Flip 3 makes use of a high-tech bendable show that I assume might probably undergo some injury when you put one thing on high of it. Nevertheless, you’ll find a handful of display screen protectors for the mini exterior show.

    Do all instances enable wi-fi charging?

    Most however not all of the instances on this checklist assist you to wirelessly cost the Z Flip 3 with the case on. Those who characteristic an built-in kickstand, significantly if it is made out of steel, might require you to take away the case to cost your cellphone wirelessly. That is a disgrace — for the Z Flip 3, I like instances with an built-in kickstand.

    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 check out it out.

It is protecting, it has a pleasant soft-to-touch end and there is that inbuilt ring that helps stop you from dropping the cellphone — and you can too clip the ring to a lanyard and put on the cellphone round your neck. Alas, whereas I might form of prop the cellphone up utilizing the ring on sure surfaces, I might have appreciated the case much more if it transformed right into a kickstand. 

    The case is available in a number of 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 would not supply fairly as a lot safety as a number of the instances on the checklist, it is considered one of my favorites and when you get it in a vivid coloration like mustard, it makes your cellphone straightforward to identify. It is also accessible in inexperienced and black. The most important knock in opposition to it’s that it is costly, however Samsung has discounted it to as little as $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 underneath the strap (and behind the cellphone), which lets you get a grip and maintain on to your cellphone with out actually wrapping your fingers round it. It is basically a safety strap. The strap additionally affords just a little little bit of safety for the hinge once you fold up the cellphone. Moreover, you possibly can connect the tip 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 convey some consideration to your cellphone. For higher or worse, it does simply that, so when you use this case, plan on having folks ask you about your cellphone. It is available in a number of colours.

It is exhausting to not get a mud particle or two trapped underneath the case once you’re placing it on — and people mud particles will present you probably have an all-black cellphone like mine.

    Aramid fiber is actually Kevlar, so this case manages to be sturdy however slim. It has a soft-to-the-touch end and is straightforward to grip.

    This is not a cellphone case per se, however when you’re on the lookout for some added safety on your Z Flip 3’s exterior show, Spigen sells an exterior display screen protector in a two-pack. It matches across the lenses and over the again show and may work superb with most instances, though it does pair finest with Spigen instances. (Not all Z Flip 3 instances’ cutouts across the again show are the identical dimensions.)

    Zagg brings its line of InvisibleShield display screen protectors to the Z Flip 3’s exterior display screen. That is in all probability the smallest display screen protector Zagg’s ever made.

    Should you’re on the lookout for an reasonably priced case with an built-in ring that converts right into a kickstand, this Vego is an effective possibility, although it seems extra premium on the floor than it truly is.
