yeah i read up on the amazon reviews for the z fold and most were not impressed with the case and many stated the power button cutout was not adequate. i also paid for overnight shipping. ugh.. :p

Once Spigen or UAG has cases in stock This one is going back to T-Mobile I also want my $12 shipping back lol

As much as I like this phone I don't want to be vulnerable dropping a $2,000 phone that might make a break me keeping this phone if a good decent case is not available

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] Slomo26:
Im not liking that plastic screen cover on the CaseMate. I ordered mine with free shipping since I already have the Thin Fit and I didnt want to have to eat the shipping costs again if I return it like with Samsung leather case from Verizon. I would cancel my order if I could but I bought it as a guest and I dont have any order info. Years ago when I bought my Nexus 6 from T-Mobile I made a pre paid account but I guess they dont keep that info because when I tried to log in it said it could not find my account.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] mironicus:
I also ordered this one. Does this also work as a viewing stand?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] jonstatt:
If ordering a Spigen case from Amazon with Spigen as the seller and with a far off date is it meant to go into Preparing for Shipment status immediately? Seems a bit naughty if they are holding on to the payment all that time.

It also stops me cancelling if I find it sooner elsewhere.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] Cipri74:
Did you receive it ? Is it wireless charging compatible ?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] jonstatt:
I can answer that. It is
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] Cipri74:
Thank you. I ordered one . It is supposed to arrive tomorrow . I have a wireless charging car mount on which my fold stays well without a case. I wonder if it will fit with the aramid case because of it's stand which looks pretty protruding
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] ROE_HUNTER:
Haven't received it yet, but I'm pretty sure wireless charging will work
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] jonstatt:
It does protude quite a bit but wireless charging still works. It does warn against powershare though.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] tinfoilzhat:
My case adventure is getting out of hand :(

On order:

- Aramid kickstand case ×2 ( 1 is arriving this week, 1 I'm not sure )

- Spigen slim case in bronze (arriving this week)

- Araree flip case in black (arriving tomorrow)

- Damondy case in bronze (arriving mid October)

And while I was waiting, I built my own case out of an unused Saddleback leather iPad 2 case (pics below)

IF ANYONE HAS AN EXTRA CASE BACK PROTECTOR, PLEASE MESSAGE ME HERE OR ON REDDIT (TINFOILZHAT).

I need it for my custom case as I currently am using velcro to hold the phone in and the velcro sucks. I need to 3m adhere a case back only protector to the leather and then I can snap my phone in and out.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] oneandroidnut:
You have any other cases or did you return to Verizon?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] Slomo26:
Returned the Samsung to Verizon. I had to eat my express delivery fee of about $14.00 though. I'm still waiting on the the 2 cases from the VRS website, 1 VRS case ordered from Amazon, Spigen Tough Armor ordered from Amazon and the Case mate from T Mobile. Right now the Spigen Thin Fit is working well without the adhesive applied.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] bkdodger:
Just got update from Amazon Spigen Thin fit coming Friday... Hopefully more peeps getting notices... My Dbrand skin comes today...
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] marctronixx:
im eating the 14 dollar overnight fee to get that janky casemate case. should arrive today and back to tmo it goes. not gonna even open it up..

waiting on vrs kickstand case. back to using a pouch for now .

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] Victor285:
Been on my phone since Friday not as bad as I first stated it's something now until I get something better later
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] FuMMoD:
Just received my casemate case. It's pretty garbage but it'll have to do for now. The included is screen protector makes it impossible to use the back button.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] ROE_HUNTER:
Seen enough of these about the CaseMate case that I'm thinking about shipping it straight back when I get it instead of opening it. I have been using the Google gestures and have wondered how adding a case on the front is going to affect them.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] marctronixx:
im on with TFORCE right now getting a return label (there was not one in the box). im fine with my pouch until the vrs case comes.

i also see the aramid samsung case is showing stock so maybe some of us will get that one soon. im more concerned about the back as opposed to covering the whole phone like the casemate and similar models so i may keep the samsung one but will probably use the vrs one 100 % of the time.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] Vimes14:
Just received my Spigen Thin Fit in Canada, ordered from Amazon.com on 10th September, OL was October 13th, status showed shipped on 22nd September, nothing further. My Fold arrives tomorrow, so good timing.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] ROE_HUNTER:
I wonder if they made it with the screen protector thinking it would help it stay in place?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] Bandage:
Not sure why I'm having issues posting images lol...been doing this forever. Try this again...

My Spigen Hybrid arrives tomorrow. (also the T-Mobile case and DBrand skin. Going from naked to many options overnight)

I'm there with ya brother... [emoji3526]
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] johno601:
Just ordered my case (Hard Active) from the VRS website and (VRS Damda Kickstand) from eBay. Ebay delivery says the 8th, hopefully that's true. I just received the AT&T case and it's awful. Its basically the Casemate case without their branding.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] ROE_HUNTER:
I also a couple of hours ago ordered the Hard Active from VRS direct(if it comes first I'll cancel my Amazon order). I have yet to receive an order conformation email, have you got one yet? I have my PayPal confirmation, but nothing from VRS yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] johno601:
No confirmation yet, still waiting. Hopefully tomorrow I receive something.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] Greatbape:

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] Powergeek2017:
I placed and order with VRS on Sept. 20th, got an order confirmation and that's it. I already sent 3 messages asking for the status of my order and so far no one is answering. I hate companies acting like that :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] bkdodger:
It seems to be a trend lately with all of them... I reached out to 3 lately and not one response..

Hopefully you get your shipping email as I got one label created
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] oneandroidnut:
I also just ordered a VRS Hard one says they are shipping Sept 30th which is today so we will see how fast it comes!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] ROE_HUNTER:
Received an email from Verizon on my Aramid case order, something about they can't take payment at this time, although it's the same payment method I used with them for the Leather case. I guess they made my decision for me, gonna let it cancel itself. Might get the VRS kickstand case instead.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] desantim:
Lol same bs email. I was fine with it because I had no intention of actually buying it. I actually meant to cancel the order but was too lazy to do so. I was actually waiting for my VMS order to be delivered.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] marctronixx:
i also made an order on vrs for the kickstand black case on 9/20 and i got the confirmation as well. nothing since. i also emailed them and so far have not received a response.

agree this is a trend with some of these companies - seems they don't really have a staff and just get china to make products for them. all their e-commerce is done automatically via software, hence no real support staff to answer emails and such. there's probably couple of people working in a rented office suite.

i know the address to where they "claim" they are located here in california. they are not far from me. this is why i went with them as i surmised id get the case sooner since they are local.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] Slomo26:
I got the shipping confirmation from VRS today that both cases Kickstand and no kickstand have shipped. USPS tracking gives the obligatory "label created not yet in the system" message. Hopefully they both will be here tomorrow or Friday since I am fairly local to them and I paid for priority mail shipping. I ordered both on 9/19. We shall see.......
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] desantim:
I wonder how long the Amazon stock will take to ship.....
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] Slomo26:
I also ordered the non kickstand one from Amazon on 9/17 for nearly half of what I paid for it on the VRS website. Amazon still says delivery by 10/22 - 11/5. I used a 35% off coupon when I ordered from VRS so after all is said and done, the case from VRS and from Amazon cost about the same. So if I like the non kickstand one I will cancel the Amazon order.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] ROE_HUNTER:
Yep, let us know what you think of both. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] oneandroidnut:
anybody have an extra case or two they want to sell?

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] bicycleray:
My VRS Damda Case has also "shipped" today. Label created at least.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] marctronixx:
finally got a ship notice from vrs for the kickstand one. label created at 323 today. their warehouse is local to LA so i opted for free /standard shipping since getting express or whatever would not be any faster. perhaps ill get it by friday. i also emailed them to inquire about when it would ship yesterday and this morning they responded, so maybe they are getting on their game here with communicating with their customers...
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] LasersPewPew:
I ordered the Spigen Ultra Hybrid from Amazon Canada on the 25th of September. The site shows in Stock November 20th, 2020 and Arrives between December 1st to 10th. Received an email just now stating the item was shipped tho the delivery date still shows December 1st to 10th. lol

Let's see how long it takes for this to arrive. I also have the Samsung Aramid fibre one ordered but that apparently won't be shipped till the 16th of October or at least that's what the site showed when I ordered it.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] Hitman3984:
My VRS Designs Case Arrived today. It also uses Sticky tape to secure the phone.

You can attach the front without the sticky tape but its easy to pull/slide off. The back doesn't need it and fits over my skin no issue.

They do give you enough stickers for at least two applications
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] Hitman3984:
Little look at vrs designs hard active
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] StormCell:
How did you get this case? Amazon says Nov. delivery.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] Hitman3984:
Ordered from their site. They shipped couple days ago
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] CP Conductor:
I ordered mine directly through VRS. It's already shipped and expected Monday.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] bkdodger:
That looks sweet... How's the fit?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] Hitman3984:
Fits fine. Front uses some small thin sticky tape to keep it in place.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] bkdodger:
Awesome..yes all these cases have the sticky for that front ..
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] Gonz7711:
I ordered a case by By Kay and got it today. It is not perfect but for the money it is Okay. The color was only because it was in stock (Red) . It fits the camera bump and evens out the back of the device. The cut out for the front screens deep and makes it hard to 8se the basic swipe functions.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] myth1001:
Can you show a picture from the perspective of the hinge when the phone is closed?

I'm worried about the case protruding too much along the area around the hinge when closed. Is there a risk of accidently partly removing the front cover when the phone is closed?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] ROE_HUNTER:
Received the Case-Mate case from T-Mobile yesterday, very flimsy and mine had a blemish, sending it back today. Didn't even try to fully install it. And I could see on the front display on the right side the case wasn't even touching the phone, seemed off.

Also sent an email to VRS, they have taken payment, but I have yet to receive any confirmation or anything from them, except all the BOGO offers that don't include the Z Fold2.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] marctronixx:
the casemate is pure trash. nearly all who ran out and grabbed this case has either returned it (like myself) or are not using it. i promptly returned mine the same day i got it -- didnt even open it up.

i got the vrs kickstand case yesterday. ordered direct from them on 9/20. i emailed them inquiring when the case i bought from them would ship, and they didnt respond back until they did ship it -- could have been a coincidence but wanted to add that data point.

im not a fan of the adhesive --i guess maybe thats why samsung just have the back part of the case (like the aramid case) and are not selling a front and back part since it would/may require some adhesion to make the front part work reliably? just speculation....
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] bkdodger:
VRS is okay .. I just see myself going skin no case ..we shall see when the Thin Fit comes in ..
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] AndroidReigns7:
Decent option

Hello fellow Galaxy Z Fold 2 peeps!

Found this on Ebay and it arrives Oct 9th. :)

Look for it under this name: "Ranyi for Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Case"

Sorry that I couldn't post a link, new member here lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] bkdodger:
Spigen Thin Fit....it goes nicely low key and good feel in hand ...
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] ROE_HUNTER:
Thanks for the pics on both. I've used the leather case without anything on front for a few days now. Not sure how I'll feel with a front piece on.

Also emailed VRS with my name and address information. They came back and said they couldn't find the order with my email, then asked for my name and address info, which was already in the first email I sent. Hmm.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] bkdodger:
I'm thinking just going to keep the Spigen and sell the VRS.. We shall see... I like to use skins too and show them off so when I don't use case I'm good...
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] ROE_HUNTER:
Update, I decided a few of things.

Verizon Samsung Standing Cover Case: Called and updated the order, shipping today headed my way.

T-Mobile Case-Mate case: Called and sent back.

VRS Hard Drop Case: They found my order, said would ship 10/16.

Amazon VRS Hard Drop Case: Requested Cancellation

Amazon VRS Damda Case: Requested Cancellation

I like the Samsung Leather I have now, and the standing cover will take care of my kickstand needs, then try the VRS when it arrives. Thanks for all the pics and help. I watched J. Williams review on the standing cover case, he liked it, just didn't like the price.

Just not easy to make a case for this form factor device.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] bkdodger:
I'm liking your decisions... not easy for this phone indeed... I have to check his video as I follow him.. We getting there.. I just watched Jerry's video tear not too bad so far lol
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] bkdodger:
Oh I forgot got the skins in from Sopiguard
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] ROE_HUNTER:
I have Jerry's video saved, hopefully find time this weekend.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] bkdodger:
It’s a quick one [emoji1318] just outside of phone ..I’m sure the tear down will be up soon if not already [emoji13]
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] ROE_HUNTER:
Got a tracking number from Verizon on the standing cover case, gonna arrive Tuesday. Yay!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] Slomo26:
Ok so both of my VRS cases arrived today. Both cases are pretty much the same case except for one has the kickstand on it so this review will cover both.

The case material is really hard plastic (like old model car plastic) no rubbery feel at all like the Spigen Thin Fit. Case edges still sharp not rounded.

Fit is good no need for the tape on the back half and they do provide much more tape than Spigen. The front stays put fairly well just like the Spigen. Probably could use tape on the front even though I haven't used any yet on my Spigen with no problems.

Good raised lip for the front screen. The raised lip on the back cameras seem to be a little less than the Spigen. As for the main screen when opened up there is no lip at all and the screen will sit flush on the surface when placed face down. The Spigen had a small lip which I feel would protect the screen face down better.

The Spigen has a small cutout for the power and volume buttons which makes it easier to push them with the phone folded. The VRS has no cutout and it is a little harder to get your finger flush with the fingerprint reader and use the volume buttons when closed.

The VRS has a bigger cutout for the USB C port which people have complained about on the Spigen although I haven't had any problems.

The kickstand is spring loaded and pops out easily. The ZF2 is stable when using the kickstand. When the ZF2 is closed along with the kickstand, the phone will be tilted toward the back cameras but not unstable. There is no wobble in the other direction since the kickstand is the width of the ZF2. The ZF2 is stable when using the kickstand opened up in landscape mode

I will definitely send the non kickstand case back to VRS and cancel my Amazon order. I'm still on the fence with the kickstand case and might keep it but I need see if I will actually use the kickstand. The only use I see for the kickstand so far is to watch videos on the main screen in landscape mode.

So far the Spigen Thin Fit is still the winner. I'm still waiting on my Spigen Tough Armor Case ordered from Amazon and the Case Mate ordered from T-Mobile. I will cancel the Case Mate as well but I dont think the order ever went through (ordered on 9/24) since my CC was not charged and I have yet to receive any kind of order confirmation through T Mobile.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] bkdodger:
Awesome [emoji16] very happy to hear it ...so I've been messing with these cases and they both exhibit the same issue for me ..when closed im unable to swipe to get to the edge panel..case edges make it fail too often ...

---------- Post added at 09:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:52 PM ----------

Thank you for the excellent reviews..are you having issues getting to the edge panel closed..
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] Slomo26:
Actually I am having problems with the edge screens too. Although I'm still learning about this stuff. I was using an S10e for about a year but really never bothered to mess with the edge screens.

Another thing I noticed is the back case cutout for the power and volume keys is a little thicker than the Spigen so again its a little harder to get your finger flush on the fingerprint sensor.

For right now I'm using the Spigen front case and the VRS Kickstand back case. My own hybrid version.:D
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] ROE_HUNTER:
Geez, I keep forgetting about the edge panel. Never used it on my other Samsung phones.im going to try it more on this one, especailly for multitasking.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] bkdodger:
Haha you created a hybrid.. Yeah no go with edge panel.. Both cases.... Fingerprint I'm okay though a little deeper..

---------- Post added at 10:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:21 PM ----------

You can definitely customize it nicely... I use it alot.. Kinda bummed with the outer issues with it..
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] lawtq:
Smashed your thanks button so hard!

Love the look. Shame about side panel problems.

How's wireless charging? Cause the Samsung case with the stand hinders charging
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] dezborders:
Deleted
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] Slomo26:
Ha! Totally forgot to check that. Kickstand case is not charging at all on the wireless pad. The kickstand lifts it up too far to make contact with the pad. Non kickstand one is good and the Spigen Thin fit is good as well.

That seals the deal, both VRS cases are going back.
