Yes, it sure does seem that way. I wish the Slim Armor Pro would have been available at the beginning, and wish I would have had the sense to buy it first, but neither of those happened. Have it now and love it, not looking for any more cases.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] ROE_HUNTER:
I guess I got lucky on my YTF case. The front adhesive held it in place well, and I just used the back it came with. Both fit perfectly, but you are correct, not much protection there. I haven't retried the YTF case since I got the Slim Armor Pro, not sure how good it would do without the adhesive.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] kiint:
Just got the Spigen case in today, and it was so, so close in so many ways, but unfortunately I can't love it as much as it deserved because of a few glaring problems IMHO. The main issue for me is the massive beveled border around the front screen; this case raises its edge up like a picture frame over 1/8 of an inch around the entire front of the case, making normal swipes and certain keyboard keys ineffective, but also ostensibly to make it easier for the entire case to lie flat on its back when it is closed (which it can do because of its inventive spine cover design.)

But the same spine cover design brings up another issue I have, which is that said spine cover does not retract as well into its case as its designers had hoped for on a consistent basis. Sometimes it gets hung up there and stuck, which forces the top cover to dislocate off the front screen because there's just not quite enough adhesive or area to make a really solid bond there. It's actually quite a nice case in terms of materials and workmanship, but the design is lacking in a couple of places that make it hard for me to accept it as my day-to-day case.

Seems like the spine issue is getting better throughout the day as the case gets broken in more, so I may hold on to it and keep trying to love it for a little longer.

I thought later case was only the back case? it comes with a front too?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] bkdodger:
Yup front as well.. Very thin... I do think the part closest to the hinge could use a little tape sticky.. As sometimes I feel it move... Not a deal breaker
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] oneandroidnut:
Cut outs all look pretty good too right? I'm thinking about picking one up
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] bkdodger:
Yup good fit all around nothing obstructed...
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] Flame Red:
I am new to the "fold" so I appreciate all the reviews. Thank you all for all the reviews. Based on what I read, for me the Spigen Case Thin Fit seemed to be the best alternative for me as I prefer the slimmest cases.

The one comment I would make is I hoped this case would be designed to let the phone lay totally flat when opened and not wobble at all.

Anyone know if you can also use the Spigen2 Optik Lens Protector with the case? EDIT:Yes you can.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] oneandroidnut:
I got the later case and only the back came. I emailed them and they discontinued the front portion and case now only comes with rear! Needless to say I returned it! LOL
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] bkdodger:
Wow 😲 really ..I don't blame you I would do the same
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] oneandroidnut:
Yeah went with a Spigen Thin fit to try instead! Can't believe they are $40+ for just the back
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] bkdodger:
Nice.. I have the Spigen.. I'm not sure if they updated the charging port fit for 3rd party cables.. I wireless charge anyway... I have the Ringke cases as well..

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] jabberwock:
I'm using this one for a week now. It's a perfect fit. Even on the frontpanel side. It sort of clicks around it and feels very snug.

It doesn't add a lot of bulk. But also not flat on table. And the Autofocus text is a bit...well..not necessary.

Case
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] jordant2:
For anyone that likes the barely there case like the latercase, I found a chinese knockoff that's pretty much identical and includes the front cover. It even has a bit of adhesive on the edge of the front to lock it in place. Love it so far and it adds zero bulk to the phone:

Anyone have a link or know a case with a thin front cover ? I have a spigen case I love but the front cover is thick and sometimes hinders swipe gestures and typing.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] marctronixx:
all my point was is that we will start to see movement on thursday and that we did. we all knew there would be some backorders.

and just because a handful of people who post on this site state they dont have any info about their orders does not speak for the masses of people who dont even know what xda is. samsung made more than 100 phones and likely hundreds of people have tracking info now.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] shollywood:
The only "movement" we've seen is orders getting pushed. Not sure why you think otherwise? The 1 or 2 people saying they have them have yet to provide any proof of it. Yet, many more have proof they have been pushed.

Your "likely" situations are just as "not likely", pure speculation on your part. I hope the information provided by SAMSUNG, the one who makes the phone, that many ordered from, are wrong.

Time to move the conversation back to cases as the thread states.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] scrumptyous:
There are photos on twitter of people with the phones so proof has been established. I have only seen folks with AT&T phone orders getting theirs but some T-Mobile buyers have Monday delivery dates with tracking from FED-Ex
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] StormCell:
Wrong thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] scrumptyous:
Was responding the post directly above mine sorry
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] marctronixx:
you just want to argue , and im a sucker to comply. :o

there's already lots of cats who have these phones,. go on reddit or search the internet. xda aint the only source for this info mate.

if you wanted a carrier variant, you can order one right now and get it delivered by next week. there was a cat in the pre order room who ordered on 9/11 and he already has track info.

so there IS movement my dear watson, and you sir, are the one who started this .. :)

by the by, this is my last post on this nonsense. even if you called my mamma a bean head i still wont respond. you can have the last word.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] shollywood:
Quite the contrary actually. You referred to the app. You have an AT&T shipping app? A Tmobile one?

You were referring to the SAMSUNG one, no? Again, show me where it shows "movement" in the Samsung app from Thursday, OTHER than getting delayed.

ROFL, it's YOU that wants to argue and now your talking about carriers and such....lol

It's not a pissing contest, at least not for me. I'm simply stating facts. Now your pulling the 1 or 2 posts from REDDIT, that don't even coincide with what you originally stated.

Regardless, anyone that ordered it wants the device ASAP.

AGAIN, BACK TO CASES.....

Ordered the Spigen Thin Fit, arriving October 13th. I generally buy Spigen cases, however this a different form factor.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] Powergeek2017:
I placed an order for a black Fold 2 on Sept., 13th and it arrived today :) I am in Europe. Ordered directly from Samsung. Unfortunately, all the Samsung cases were already sold out at that time. Only the green leather was available. What an ugly color (fmpov). As many here, I don't feel to get this baby out without some protection.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] Slomo26:
Ordered the Spigen thin fit from Amazon says it will arrive between 10/7- 10/9. Ordered the Samsung black leather case from Verizon website $20.00 off and should be here tomorrow before 10:30 PST. I already have a UPS tracking number for the case so lets see what happens. When I picked up my Fold 2 from Best Buy this morning they said they did not have any cases in stock. Same when I went to the local Verizon corporate store they also said no cases in stock. I need something fast so this thing can go out and play.:D
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] MANswers:
Where is the Aramid Standing Cover sold at? I do not see any online sellers in the US? Samsung site has no option to buy the case as well.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] shollywood:
Bizarre they didnt have a ton of cases available for launch. really missed the boat on this one considering they didnt include one this time. I think almost everyone will be looking for some sort of protection immediately. Could've sucked another $75-$100 out of each owner of the phone.....
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] ROE_HUNTER:
Yep, I call it a fail that the case I purchased from Samsung couldn't be shipped with the phone! My Kevlar case still shows Sep 21st expected date.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] MANswers:
They dont have an option to buy there mate, only shows where to buy from, and that too when u click on it, it shows not found in your area. I am based in Chicago. I wonder if att/verizon stores might sell these cases in the store on the 18th. My phone arrives today, I will cover it with peacock feathers :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] OnkelAlbert:
I have the Aramid standing cover and I think it is low quality, additionally positioning on the desk is even more instable than without the case, but at least the camera bump is protected. The whole thing is less quality than the standing cover for the N20U which I also own - and like.

The standing positon with the screen open is great for media consumption, but not very stable.

I will go for the leather cover instead.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] Slomo26:
So the Samsung leather cover arrived today and really is not much for the 59.99 ($20 off at Verizon) that I paid for it. But I guess its better than nothing while I wait for the end of the month until the Spigen Thin Fit arrives.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] bkdodger:
Oh man really [emoji53].. I'm not happy to hear that review ... might have to rethink my order of it ..

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] ROE_HUNTER:

Yeah [emoji4] no kidding...I was not going to insert sim card till case or skin came in but no way ...haha
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] ROE_HUNTER:

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] AhsanU:
Ordered the black leather from Verizon and it'll be in tomorrow! I'm excited but also a bit conflicted.

This is the first phone I've used where I kind of feel like I just don't need a case for it. I know, it sounds absurd given the price of it - but it just doesn't feel like I'll ever accidentally drop it or somehow mishandle it and cause it to drop.

The phone, when folded and closed, is very thin and very comfortably fits in my hand. There's no reaching needed to get anything done on the screen. And when I open it up, I'm using two hands which commands my full attention and makes me feel like I won't drop it.

I think the leather case/back case would be nice to protect the back, but I really feel like it's not the most necessary item (again, for me! ymmv. It's so weird, I usually buy a handful of cases and stick to 'em, but I really don't think that'll be the case (ha!) this time around.

Nice [emoji106]..these late October dates killing me ...
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] ROE_HUNTER:
Yes, the dates such. I canceled the thin fit I had ordered. And I keep hearing the aramid case is weak. Was hoping for a good kickstand case, but I may have to do without.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] bkdodger:
I'm not happy on these early reviews Aramid will go back if it's weak.. I don't need the kickstand thought it be nice switch it up...I usually go thin with my cases ...

Man, that's nice. But such a wait.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] ROE_HUNTER:

Looks super sexy..definitely loving the black leather..i just ordered the black leather on vzw..thanks man
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] AhsanU:
Got my black leather case from Verizon today. At first, I didn't like it at all, but as I used it throughout the day - I could use it for my specific use of the Z Fold 2.. for now.

The actual feeling of the leather is great! The fit is nice as well. Build quality is up there, but it's probably not worth $80 Samsung wants for it in terms of build quality. No complaints, but $80 is a lot for a case that protects only the back.

But now for the use - it feels weird. The case only covers the back part of the phone, of course; so while I have the phone folded up and I'm using the front display, it feels normal. What changes is how it feels when the phone is opened. It feels very strange to hold the phone with two hands and feeling one texture in one hand (smooth glass of the front display), and another texture on the other hand (the leather). This is made even worse when I use the phone while it's opened with one hand, or when my fingers stretch across the back and I feel the uneven surface of the back thanks to the case. The other small niggle I've got is the lack of symmetry and how the case sticks out while the phone is opened. The left half of the phone is sleek, while the right has the case on and it looks.. off. Lastly, there's the matter of opening the phone. Depending on how you enjoy opening the phone, this case may be annoying to you. Without the case, I can use my right thumb to hold the right side in place anywhere on the side while my left thumb pulls the phone open. With the case on, I'm forced to hold the phone in place with my right thumb while my left thumb pulls it open from the center of the side. It's a small detail, but it's there.

All that being said, I'm probably going to keep the case as it's useful for propping the phone up while I do things like cook, or watch YouTube/twitch while I eat. It adds a bit of protection for the back.. which is nice I guess. But I think my desire to prop this phone up will be mitigated when I get the Tab S7+, as it'll be used to watch things while I cook/eat and what not.

Overall, it's not worth $80 but it's better than nothing for those that want some protection.

Also, I can't believe I typed this much for a case. But I'd rather be thorough about it and maybe help someone with a purchase decision.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] JSK0703:
Makes you wonder when Samsung released the final specs/device to the case manufacturers. Considering that many of the cases are just molds you would think it shouldn't take long to ramp up production.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] ROE_HUNTER:
Just called around local to a few places and no luck. Oh well, I'm gonna leave the Kevlar on order from Sammy, and hope the VRS from Amazon comes sooner than expected.

I usually carry my phone in my shirt pocket, which a slab phone fits nicely and doesn't move around, but this phone's thinness when closed allows it to move in the pocket a lot more, scared it's gonna pop out. I can carry it in my jeans pocket, but then I have to take it out before I sit down every time, 1st world problems I guess!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] bkdodger:
Yeah seems late for sure ..nobody is prepared for this phone

I'm usually front pocket jeans ...I've damaged a phone before with the shirt pocket ..I think it was a Motorola one I had it front jacket pocket ..no bueno ...lol

Went ahead and ordered the leather from Verizon, was still on discount so a decent deal I guess, showed it should be here Tuesday.

I did cancel my order with Sammy and ordered one from Verizon, and it was still on discount too. I really didn't like that Sammy couldn't give ANY time frame for them. So should get the leather Teusday(fingers crossed), and the Kevlar shows 10/2 from Verizon.

Ordered the Kevlar 7 days ago was supposed to ship today and I checked my order and it now says 10/3. Don't believe what they tell you.

Nice, I checked and mine shows shipped today, but haven't received the tracking email yet. Hopefully it comes Tuesday. Might use my LG V60 for outings till it does.

Got the tracking from Verizon, will arrive Tuesday, yay!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] Timmothy83:
I really in-between, a case or a skin. I almost choosing a skin if it wasn't for the camera bump. Heading out for a case today. See if any is available
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] ROE_HUNTER:
I dislike the camera bump, but its the trend at the moment. The case will help with that.i can almost understand with this phone, but on slab phones I would say make the phone flat and add Xtra battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] Timmothy83:
It isn't a trend IMHO, it's the technology as well to house a camera like that. Especially with the S20 and note series
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] ROE_HUNTER:
We'll agree to disagree. It all depends on what the mfg's think we want. Do we want the thinnest device available with a hump, or maybe a little thicker device with no hump. I've seen a few YouTubers mention this over the last few years. I happen to be for a thicker device, no hump, and maybe extra battery. That being said most people use a case, as do I so that will mitigate the hump somewhat. Maybe that could be what the mfg's are thinking.i don't know?
