Seems the same issue with all the cases on the front. You cant reach edges, to type q, 1, etc. OR get to the edge panels. Looks like only a back case is going to work
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] lynseyw:
My Spigen thin fit and hybrid are coming today! I can't wait to see the hybrid. I think that is the one I will go with, but I will see. I can't wait to get a case on it. I am afraid I'm gonna mess it up carrying it naked. I did already nick the front screen and I was relieved that it was just the screen protector. I have since applied the Whitestone dome front glass screen protector. It is so much better. I hope it will fit with the cases. It looks like it will, but I'll find out ,
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] lynseyw:
So neither case work with the Whitedome. I ended up cracking my Whitedome when putting these on. I'm ok with it. I would rather have the edge protection than a screen protector. The hybrid is a no go. It doesn't want to stay and looks like it would collect dust like crazy. I think I am gonna go Spigen thin fit on the front and do the Samsung leather on the back. Best of both worlds? We will see. I just ordered the green back from Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] lawtq:
Thanks for confirming. I thought so ? that's a no, no for lock stand then
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] CtK4949:
Just got a case from eBay. Looks and feels pretty nice. Not bad for $19, now I just need my Mystic Black with Blue hinge!!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] desantim:
Link? Can you throw up a photo of the phone in the case? Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] CtK4949:
It took about 2 weeks to get the case...

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Folding-Ca...var=522943315956&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

Sorry I dont have the phone yet. I ordered kind of late. Samsung says I wont get it til end of Oct. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] idksomuch:
Can you take a few photos of how thick it is? I ordered a faux leather case off eBay and it seems to be as thick as the spigen thin fit based on photos that I've seen of the spigen one, and by that I mean it's not thin at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] CtK4949:
Here ya go hope it helps...

i have had the vrs kickstand case (black) for a few days now and im returning it.

the plastic feel of the entire cover cheapens the device. it makes the phone unnecessarily "chunkier" and makes it a little more challenging to use the fingerprint sensor in the way ive grown accustomed to using it since i've had the phone.

the kick stand has a nice feel and it does work well to prop up the phone, but for the price i paid its not worth it just to keep that.

also, using adhesives to attach a plastic case to a 2K phone is not something i wanted to do.

im still waiting for my aramid case from samsung. this is going to be best for **ME** because i prefer "minimalist" cases (ive always bought the samsung military grade case for the note series and like its minimalist look). this vrs case was a little too "gaudy" for my taste, but it looked better than the other full cases i was seeing, which is why i initially bought it.

after all this drama with these cases, i can see why samsung only made half a case for this phone.

for now, the fold will stay in its pouch when im on the move.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] bkdodger:
I'm either selling mine or returning.. keeping the Spigen and Aramid is coming.. BTW it's still on sale at Verizon for $45
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] Slomo26:
Just FYI....since the VRS case I ordered from Amazon was sold thru VRS and not Amazon prime, canceling my order is turning out to be very difficult. I had go thru 2 automated chats and then it finally says to email VRS. Well there is no email link to them on Amazon. Back to the chat and it provided a link and said the email went thru and if I don't hear anything from them in 2-3 business days to check back with Amazon.

Returning the cases to VRS doesnt seem any easier. I had to click the return link on the website and was taken to a form which I completed for both cases. Hopefully that went thru but I guess I will find out this week if I get a RMA # from them.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] desantim:
Since Amazon charges at time of or near shipment I just removed my payment methods and created a new account. I had to anyway due to unauthorized orders coming through on my account and Amazon doing absolutely nothing over the course of the last two weeks to resolve it.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] marctronixx:
i did the same ( i ordered through vrs directly ) and attached photos of the case and accessories in PRISTINE virgin condition so there won't be any questions about restock fees.

worse case (no pun but pun :p) i can just drive over to their location if i dont get results..
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] Slomo26:
Ok so I hit the Cancel button again on my Amazon order and went to this auto chat which supposedly sent an email to VRS asking them to cancel my Amazon order. Well turns out 3 times a charm because the order is now marked as canceled. Now I just need to get the RMAs from the VRS website and I will be a happy camper.

I am still waiting on the Spigen Tough Armor case ordered thru Amazon.

I'm debating whether or not to order the Samsung Aramid kickstand case. Samsung wont ship until 10/17 and Verizon says it will ship on 10/14. It think I read here that wireless charging still works. Can anyone confirm this? I will keep the Spigen Thin Fit front case on if I order the Aramid case. For those who have it how do you like it?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] marctronixx:
yes the aramid case will still wireless charge.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] ROE_HUNTER:
Just received the aramid case, not too shabby. Thinner than the leather, but still feels grippy. To me it keeps the look and feel premium. Kickstand functions as intended. Wireless charge works on my cheap stand at work, so I'm guessing it will work fine on the Samsung charger. Again if you want a thin case, this is it. Not sure how much protection it will give in a tumble, but better than nothing. Now just waiting on my VRS case to try it out. On a side note I do wish it clipped on a little more snugger, but that is the issue with this form factor, can't really make a real tight snap on case, just not gonna happen.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] marctronixx:
several of us didnt like the vrs case, but some will. so be aware. ive the kickstand vrs case in black and it was not what i thought it would be. cheap feel. im looking forward to the aramid. thank you for your review.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] bkdodger:
I’m hoping to have mine soon...I will test it with the skin I’m thinking should help it feel snug ...thanks for sharing
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] Bandage:
Here's a little adjustment I made to my cases for this very reason. They all seemed loose, as you mentioned.

https://xdaforums.com/samsung-galaxy-z-fold-2/accessories/spigen-ultra-hybrid-case-review-t4169771
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] ianmacd:
The Samsung leather case for the original Fold actually did use adhesive on both the front and back. It was actually a pretty nice solution, and better than the rear-only solution that Samsung has now for the Fold 2.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] Slomo26:
Has anyone who does not like the VRS cases and ordered from the VRS website actually received a RMA# number from them? I completed my return request on 10/2 and the website said "please allow 48 hours for RMA to be processed." I go back to the website today 10/8 and I can see my request is still "pending authorization." At this point I will email them to see what the hold up is and if I get no response I think I'll put them on Ebay.

Not looking to gouge anyone I just want what I paid for them plus the Ebay and Paypal fees.

wanted to post that i have both the Spigen THIN FIT and ULTRA HYBRID cases. they are nearly the exact same thickness except the ULTRA HYBRID has black shock absorbing bumpers around the edge whereas the THIN FIT is the same rigid plastic all around. ULTRA HYBRID is clear except for the black bumpers which are supposedly "air cushion" technology so i am going with it over the THIN FIT since the added thickness is almost exactly the same. i added a stick-on folding magnetic stand linked below. the ULTRA HYBRID back is a little loose but i placed a tiny bit of double sided tape on the top edge and that has made it snug.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] blkghost22:
I got the spigen hybrid and it was too loose... so i bought another from Korea Ringke ckear case. I think Ringke case is more stable and solid then spigen.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] marctronixx:
im not interested in any case that uses adhesives. this is why i am going with the aramid case.

i also ran into this and emailed them directly. they are handling RMA's manually, which means you send the case back at your cost, and within a MINIMUM of a week (could be longer but a minimum) they will refund your money.

I will attach the email they sent me:

i also attached the form they sent.

I was all set to return it but instead sold it locally on "offerup". its a phone based app that is basically craigslist 2.0

since cases for this device are scarce, i figured id give it a day to see if anyone would bite.

within an hour i had several people interested and sold it within 2 hours of putting it up for sale at a 14 dollar profit. :silly:

cat was so excited he posted up on reddit about it.. :p
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] Slomo26:
Wow it would be nice if they would say somewhere on their site about the manual RMAs. So they want you to send the cases back to them and then they "will refund you a week after they receive the cases". Just like they sent me the RMA# "48 hours after submitting the RMA form". I think just based on the shadiness so far I will selling these cases elsewhere and I will be sure to put VRS on the "don't buy from them anymore" list.

Thanks for your help. Maybe they should put a link to your post here on their website regarding the RMAs.:D
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] shollywood:
Yeah they've been added to the "Do Not Buy From List" for me also.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] StormCell:
How did you get the case so fast?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] blkghost22:
The spigen i ordered it. While avo and finally came. The ringke in the lic was from korea... the rinvke case came very fast from korea
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] marctronixx:
re: vrs - I agree, they should have at least put that on their website!?!?! im glad i followed my first mind and just emailed them directly.

im really glad I was able to sell that case and im not doing any more business with them.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] Slomo26:
Ok so another VRS update......no response to my email sent to them through their website so I put both cases on Ebay this afternoon. The kickstand one has sold and the non kickstand one is still there.

Also my Samsung Aramid case ordered from Verizon on 10/6 has shipped and will be here tomorrow 10/10. Much faster than their 10/14 shipping estimate and I'm sure much faster than Samsung's 10/17 shipping estimate.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] androidisthefuture:
I can't believe how much thinner the Samsung Aramid case is than the Spigen Thin Fit.

The Thin Fit looks thick in comparison!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] Slomo26:
You are correct sir. It definitely makes the Thin Fit look like the Tough Armor. I do like the feel of it good grip. It does work with my wireless charging pads and the kickstand seems fairly decent as well. My case is a little loose on the hinge corners but not a big deal. I think the Thin Fit bottom half fits better and feels more secure. The one problem (can't be helped) is that when ZF2 is leaning on the kickstand the volume buttons are on the bottom and cannot be accessed. All in all I think its a keeper for now with this on the bottom half and the Thin Fit on the front.

Still waiting on the Spigen Tough Armor from Amazon and another thin fit type case from Ebay coming from China that is the latest rage on Reddit.

Both of my VRS cases have sold on Ebay as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] bkdodger:
Agreed on Aramid..

Here's a video I put together on it for those looking to purchase..

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] lynseyw:
So I tried the Spigen Thin Fit and the Hybrid. The Hybrid was too loose and dust would work it's way in and look crappy. I returned, the Thin fit is ok. Not great. I will probably return. I ordered this one off etsy. Had good reviews for the first fold and other cases. I ordered the yellow colored one. We will see. It is pricey, but so is the Samsung leather case. This at least covers the front too. I'll let you guys know when I get it. https://www.etsy.com/listing/879899...NWZflGdHWkKQiO8PHtNDAsDQAaNZTNTcaAoBxEALw_wcB
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] desantim:
Whoa! That'sa spicy Meata balla!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] lynseyw:
I hope it's nice. I don't like how the edges are a bit sharp on the Thin fit when it is folded. Its fine when open, but feels so cheap to me. The front feels loose on the side. Don't want to tape it more cuz I probably won't keep it. The charging port is too small too. I don't use it very often as I use wireless charging most of the time. We will see how the spicy meatball turns out.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] desantim:
Would a simple fine nail file round the edges to the point or comfort? I've ordered 2 ebay cases and an Amazon case in hopes one of them or a mix of them will be acceptable. It is Crazy how hard it is to find a case for the most expensive phone on the market.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] lynseyw:
No kidding. I think filing it out ruin it. It is also isn't very protective. I hope this one turns out good. Lot's of good reviews on other cases. So we will see. He was responsive and quickly responded. I first picked brown, but then thought...How can I do this to such a crazy device. Then went with the yellowish leather. Can't wait to get it. He said he would get it out as soon as he could. We will see.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] desantim:
Fingers crossed! I'm all for paying a bit more for a small business and their quality goods. So few of them left these days.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] ianmacd:
Be aware that the case pictured in the Etsy shop you're referring to is not manufactured by that seller. The seller is just a clearing house.

The case (the Minerva) is actually manufactured by Andantannerie, a South Korean company. You can also buy it from Zoarah.

Either way, though, postage is $30.50 to the Netherlands, so I don't think I'll be buying it. The front looks too bulky and will probably impede swiping from the side. I want to see what Noreve come up with, as they claim to be working on a case.

In the meantime, the leather Olixar looks like a decent, reasonably priced low-profile option. That, in combination with a pouch, like the Shocksock or Fitbag, should tide me over until thew definitive case for this device emerges (if it ever does).
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] lynseyw:
Even the thin fit from spigen impedes the swipe function on the front screen. I feel like almost any case will. I sorta fixed the problem, because what it does is just swipe between home screens instead of opening the edge panel. I made it so my main home screen was the last one in that direction, so if I don't get the swipe correct, it doesn't swipe the home screen, seems to have fixed the problem. Not sure if that makes sense. I cancelled my first order and ordered directly from the company. https://www.etsy.com/listing/868913...ather-case?ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1&crt=1
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] shollywood:
The problem with that front cover is it will not let you text or type or access the side menu at all with it on. If you dont use those features, looks fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] jonstatt:
It seems the only case type that allows everything to work including using a glass screen protector is the Araree wallet case. But that's not perfect either as you have to open it to see who is calling. Perhaps Samsung can make a smart cover in this format!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] lynseyw:
I have no problem texting, just the edge screen is a bit hard to use. But I usually don't use it when it's folded anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] ianmacd:
If they were going to do that, they would have already done it.

For the original Fold , Samsung manufactured a two-part leather case for the front and back, and it cost twice as the official leather case for the Fold2. That's right: about $130.

It speaks volumes that Samsung hasn't produced a two-part case for the Fold2. If they had felt it was a viable product, you can be sure they would have. That bezel is probably just too small to attach to without compromising usage.

I hope to be proved wrong about this. To that end, I've ordered the two-part leather case, which was despatched this afternoon and should be here in a few days.

If that doesn't work well, I'll probably stick with the Samsung leather back for usage, plus a pouch for transport.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] shollywood:
You have that case already? Thought you JUST ordered it.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] lynseyw:
No, I meant on the Spigen thin fit. This looks to be about the same as the case I ordered though. We will see.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] jimmyz:
FYI they use the spigen thin case and cover it with leather.... if u don't like that spigen case u might not like that case. I am sending them the ranyi case to see if they can cover that one... I might end up using the spigen for the back and the ranyi for the front!

Ranyi is here:https://www.ebay.com/itm/For-Samsun...rentrq:1f713f051750aaecacce6e74ffeb1e88|iid:1
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] lynseyw:
The thin fit is fine, I just don't like the sharp edges on the back and low level of protection. If it has leather on top, I think that should fix my issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] :
heres a nice surprise and i ordered last friday getting this thursday! dont know how good it will be but anyway am taking a chance.

sorry cant post the url (Gear4 Crystal Palace Case for Galaxy Z Fold2 5G $49.99) at verizon wireless website.

These have been on there forever, it's when they are available that has been the issue.

No it's available to be shipped in a few days, before delivery was 3-4 weeks
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] ROE_HUNTER:
Interesting, I kind of want a clear case. Let us know how you like it. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] LasersPewPew:
I received the Spigen Ultra Hybrid case even though Amazon Canada shows delivery expected December. I guess they're very generous with those dates due to COVID19. The fit is pretty good. no complaints there, the front and back of the phone in folded mode (obviously). Not sure if I prefer the front protection or not since it does affect gestures for that display. It should protect small drops but I am not willing to perform that experiment anytime soon. But it's a good transparent case since I have a dbrand skin so it doesn't hide the skin. The phone is heavy enough so didn't feel like it added any extra heft to it. but the phone is a little bulkier now. Will see how I like it.

I also have the official Samsung aramid fibre one coming soon so will compare the 2 to see which one I prefer better
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] Victor285:
I got the spigen thin case today as well no complains just wished the hinge had some protection
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] BarryH_GEG:
I had the OG Fold and its leather case. The case stuck to the phone with some sort of adhesive which was easy when the bezels were the size of a house. People *****ed about those bezels so Samsung pushed them all the way to the edge. The crowd went wild. The consequence is there's no great way to protect the front of the phone with a cover. Damned if they do, damned if they don't.

I have the Fold2 leather case mostly due to lack of better options. The problem with it is it is too damn thick which makes it awkward to hold and visually unbalanced. I'd be fine with a case that covered the back that had the thinness of the Aramid case without the stupid kickstand. I have a Dome protector for the front that I'll put on when the factory screen protector needs changing. A really nice thin back cover with good front display protection is probably the best we'll be able to do without trashing the look and feel of the phone with an orthopedic looking protective cover. I ordered the Olixar front and back screen protector along with their camera protector and they've shipped. Screwing up the camera frame or lens is what worries me about leaving the back of the phone naked. I might try running with that for a while.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] ianmacd:
The luxury Noreve case is finally available for pre-order.

The order can be highly customised, but I worry about the height of the front frame relative to the bezel, and the potential for impeding edge swipes.

The case does look very nice, however, if rather expensive for a punt.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] Lucent:
My favorite case is the rubbery, thin, clear one Samsung phones ship with in non-US countries. Is there anything like this for the Z Fold 2? I don't want hard/polycarbonate, non-clear, or anything thick. If you bought a bunch and ran across one like this and don't like it, I'm happy to take it off your hands and will pay shipping.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] lynseyw:
Ok, I'll be the sucker. I cancelled my Etsy purchase and got the Noreve. I like that the charging port is so large. The one on the Spigen Thin Fit only fits the original one. I would like to use other cables. Was worried about this with the Etsy leather one. This Noreve solves the problem. I purchased the black quilted version. Used the 15% discount code too. We will see. Fingers crossed, I really want a nice case for this beast. I have had it for a month now and have kinda forgotten how weird it is for people. I have had die hard iphone users, be like "WTF is that" and "holy sh@t that is so cool." One guy looked sad because he ordered the iphone 12. I love this phone. I see myself getting the fold 3, 4, 5, hahah
