thanks bro,

i placed an pre order for the damda case with kickstand off their website. their office is in LA county so i opted for free standard shipping (plus the 15% off - thanks bro!) since their office is nearby to me..
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] desantim:
It's rather annoying how long it'll take these cases to reach us. I'm mildly paranoid not having a case on this phone. I ordered the aramid case from Verizon won't ship till Oct 3, then I orders the vms case off Amazon and it says delivery is November 10....
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] ROE_HUNTER:
It is definitely annoying. I also ordered the kickstand case from Verizon with the 10/3 ship date.also the VRS no kickstand case from Amazon with delivery next month.i did order the black leather from Verizon that's supposed to be here Tuesday.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] bicycleray:
Just order the VRS Damda Case! Worried we have to wait so long for any case for this phone. I am babing it like no other phone I have ever owned.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] dezborders:
Agreed but eBay is now full of cases under $10 - just check seller is shipping from your country and not China
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] jonstatt:
I have both the Aramid and Leather official cases here. I have the bronze phone. The Aramid doesn't really go with the bronze. It also attracts finger marks and looks greasy quickly. The kickstand is useful when closed particularly if you have kids and don't want them poking at the soft inner screen. The kevlar doesn't look real and it feels more like plastic. It doesn't look cheap but doesn't match the tone of the bronze phone either. It might serve better on the black. I didn't like the way it sounded putting it on, like it could scrape the metal sides. When I removed it I was horrified to see lines on the metal. But it seems to rub off and I couldn't see any permanent damage.

The brown leather is far more suited to the bronze and feels good quality. It slips on smoothly and doesn't move. It makes the phone more grippy. It does give a lip for the camera hump but not as much as the Aramid.

Both cases are odd in that the microphone cutouts at the top are small circles, precisely positioned. But the bottom ones are slots with the actual microphone hole to one side. I wonder if there was a late breaking design change.

Finally both cases only cover one half of the phone of course. I am hoping for a clear cover for the other half. Two issues I see with a naked half are

1) cases usually provide a lip to the screen so when its on the table the front screen can't touch the table and be scraped by dirt.

2) that same lip would stop the bottom rubbing against a pocket helping a little for lower screen scratches but also the metal frame of the phone is matte. I wonder if it might rub shiny over time.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] ryan4a:
Sorry if this was answered already, but are any cases available to order AND ship now? I'd like a "wallet" type case, but will settle for any Z Fold 2 case that I can get immediately.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] ROE_HUNTER:
I ordered a Samsung black leather case From Verizon Friday, will be here Tuesday. Just tried to get on their site and look again, but it seems to be having issues...
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] xavierxxx2p:
Can you share pics please
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] JSK0703:
Received my Araree case today. Can't complain about the fit and finish. As far as I know it's the only case available right now that offers some protection for the front display.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] jonstatt:
Interesting but does that front flap get in the way of usage? I would also be slightly concerned that with the soft screen protector that is installed on the front display that a bit of dirt trapped between the flap and the front screen could cause scratches pretty easily.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] desantim:
I don't have this case but have had a table case on my iPad similar to this for the better part of 2 years. Unless you're cruising for diamonds or dropping it in sand and immediately putting it in your pocket you have nothing to worry about.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] JSK0703:
It definitely changes the feel of the device while holding it because it sticks out like 1” on the side. But you can just rotate it to the opposite side depending on which hand you’re holding with. As for dirt, that’s a concern with any flip or wallet case usually.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] xavierxxx2p:
Verizon leather samsung case
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] ROE_HUNTER:
Nice, mine will be here tomorrow. Does it add some grip?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] xavierxxx2p:
Yes better grip.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] BarryH_GEG:
I hate the leather case. It is the most aesthetically broken thing Samsung's put out in a long time. First the good. It covers the back of the phone well and keeps the camera from touching hard surfaces. For the bad it is so disproportionate that it looks odd and feels odd when you're holding the phone when it's open. It's so thick that not all USB adapters can fit through the opening. The brown case on bronze looks fine indoors but in bright sunlight it's a huge mismatch. In the absence of anything else it's fine but it's meh at best.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] JSK0703:
Received an email from Samsung today regarding my Aramid case order back on Sept 4th. Case is now out of stock and they cannot provide any update or estimate. May have to cancel and look for another kickstand case.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] desantim:
So many parts of this release were miserably planned. It's like it wasn't obvious people would want to put some protection on the most expensive production phone ever made..... The first fold they had the wherewithal to include a case, but not the more expensive, equally fragile second gen!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] JSK0703:
It's a good thing I picked up an Araree flip case for now. That's plenty of protection for my needs. Just doesn't allow for the flip cover to serve as a kick stand.

And I think it's actually a good thing that demand is high. Would think that Samsung would rather ship in increments rather then have a ton of unsold devices taking up space in retail locations or warehouses.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] desantim:
Oh Samsung is definitely happy but I'd much rather have been provided some way of protecting my investment up front. I ordered the aramie case from Verizon, that's now pushed out and back ordered and I also ordered a case off Amazon which is also mid November before delivery. It isn't like I haven't tried.

I realize the ****ty leather cases have been in stock but I have no interest in spending an additional $60 on a case I'll never want to use just as a stopgap until a case I would want is delivered.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] ROE_HUNTER:
Got my black leather case from Verizon and I must say I like it. Feels good in the hands, nice and tight, adds grip, no fingerprints. To me it makes if feel more premium than it already is, if that's possible.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] xavierxxx2p:
Looks good to me.at first yes itbwas weird to hold but now it just feels better to hold when open and close ..
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] Slomo26:
Just an FYI....I ordered the Spigen Thin Fit case from Amazon and today I got a shipping notice from Amazon. I also got a shipping notice from USPS so hopefully that means it should be here this week since its coming from Irvine. I will keep everyone posted.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] bkdodger:
Oh man I hope so ..I ordered on Sept 19 says Oct 13 ship ..
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] shollywood:
Wow, I havent been able to find one anywhere. When I checked on Amazon it said November?? Do you have a link to the one you ordered? TIA
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] Slomo26:
It was the same one linked by the OP. I ordered it on 9/10. USPS says "shipping label created USPS waiting for item" in Irvine. So I'll keep my fingers crossed. Past history with that USPS status means the case hasn't left Spigen yet. Once I see it has arrived at the post office then I'll believe.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] Vimes14:
I am in the same situation, ordered on 9/10 from Amazon.com, has apparently shipped, no other information, due to arrive in Canada between October 13th and 21st. I think everyone has seriously under estimated how popular this device would be.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] Slomo26:
Ok USPS says its in Anaheim now with a delivery date of Fri 9/25. Hopefully sooner since Im very close to Anaheim I don't think it would take 3 days to get here. I'll keep everyone posted.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] Timmothy83:
I saw a lot of cases in China on ebay. But I doubt the quality. Hence the delivery time.

I have to say, as much as I babied my OG fold, I did with my Z fold 2 as well, but into day 7 its getting a bit less. But man, the black version is a fingerprint magnet. The Saturn (sort of best buy in Germany) told me cases are to be expected tomorrow. Fingers crossed
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] jonstatt:
A review of this case popped up on Reddit

https://amp.reddit.com/r/GalaxyFold/comments/ixvgx5/spigen_galaxy_z_fold_2_case_thin_fit_review/

One thing I don't like is using adhesive to hold the front cover. I wonder if the Ultra hybrid version uses this. In the thread someone seemed to permanently damage the front display of their Fold 1 with the adhesive (installation accident?) while others mentioned you couldn't remove the case to clean the dirt that inevitably gets behind over time.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] bkdodger:
Let's see how that case looks in person...at this point I might just stick to a skin
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] chuynh1109:
well that intersting. Mine has been on order from amazon, even though it's adhesive, can't wait to get it.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] Slomo26:
Ok latest update is it is out for delivery today 9/23. If it is like the "Thin Fit" cover for the Z Flip 5G the use of the adhesive is optional. I used that case on the Z Flip 5G and it stayed on perfectly fine without using the adhesive. The mail usually arrives around 3:30 so we shall see.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] jonstatt:
I look forward to your update!! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] shollywood:
Yeah I saw those also. Take forever to ship out. By the time they would get here I could get from Amazon.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] Slomo26:
Ok so the case just arrived. Typical Spigen packaging nothing new here. The case material is just like all their other "Thin Fit" style cases. Matte black semi rubbery finish so gives much better grip. Since it covers both side now, it is much easier to unfold the phone. Front half provides a raised lip around the front display so that is protected much better.

As for the adhesive its only on the front half and does not attach to the front display itself. It attaches on the top , right and bottom sides of the front half and the left side lip next to the hinge on the left side of the display. They made it so you have to remove the adhesive in order to use the case as shown by the pictures. I think I will cut the excess off and still try it out without the adhesive. The case itself clips onto the phone fairly well except for the front left of the display nearest the hinge and that is why they have the adhesive there on the lip. The case is about the same thickness as the Samsung leather case maybe just a bit thicker.

It seems to be well made and would provide minimal drop protection just like the other "Thin Fit" style cases. What I do like is now the front display is protected somewhat now if you decide to lay it on a a flat surface front side down.

Seems like a keeper for now and I think the Samsung case is going back to Verizon. I still have the 2 VRS brand cases on order so I will ahve more to compare it to when they arrive.

EDIT:The edges on the hinge side of the case are a little sharp. Not cut your fingers sharp but not rounded like the Samsung case was.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] razorseal:
How is it when you close the phone? Flush?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] FuMMoD:
I bought my z fold 2 yesterday and every single case is delayed for late October and November. Where can I get a case asap? I live in the US. I really do not want to get that cheap 80 cent plastic mold tmobile is selling for 80$ that's ridiculous.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] razorseal:
You'll see that none of us had any luck except few people who ordered them Sept 2nd.

If you haven't ordered one by now, you're looking at like end of oct to nov
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] FuMMoD:
This is a terrible situation. I'm so afraid of even taking it out as my daily yet due to this!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] razorseal:
Same here. And many of us. I'm extra careful... trying to keep away from pockets w anything etc.

Do your best to baby it!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] shollywood:
Like this, wish it was readily available.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] kipmast:
I had a dbrand Carbon skin on the original FOLD and loved it. Basically just helps with scuffs and whatnot. I have since sold this and currently waiting for my FOLD 2. Already ordered another dbrand skin but it says (coming soon) whatever that means so I also bought a SlickWrap skin which is just as nice as far as quality goes.. SlickWraps are slower than snot with their shipping though.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] Hitman3984:
I have like 3 cases and the skin on order. Nothing shown up yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] kipmast:
I had the Samsung Aramid for my old FOLD but did not use it because unless you use double sided tape to help secure the 2 pcs. they are EASY to flick off. I did like how thin it was though. Good quality. Ended up going with a Carbon Dbrand skin.

---------- Post added at 08:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:42 AM ----------

I have already mentioned this but will say again: On my FOLD 2 I'm going to use their carbon decal skin along with a brushed aluminum camera bump skin to protect from scratches. Had this setup on my old FOLD and loved how it fit and looked while still keeping it thin as possible. The camera bump on the FOLD 2 is pretty huge so we'll see how just a decal skin on it works.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] Slomo26:
When the phone is closed the case is flush with itself and the gap between the 2 closed screens is practically gone. When the phone is open, the case is pretty much flush with the inside screen so there is no protection for the inner screen if the phone is placed screen side down. So I would advise against laying the phone on its inner screen (I don't know why you would want to do this) with or without the case on.

At this point I would say to order a Spigen case from Amazon and roll the dice to see when it ships. When I ordered my Thin Fit the delivery date was between 10/7 and 10/9 but in reality it was delivered yesterday 9/23. Obviously Spigen has stock on their cases (at least for the Thin Fit) and they are able to send them out. You could try the Spigen website too but their prices are almost double then what they are on Amazon.

For now, the Samsung is going back and I will keep the Thin Fit. I have ordered the Spigen Tough Armor, both VRS cases and I'm waiting for the UAG case status to change from "coming soon" so I can order it.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] razorseal:
I ordered all name brand cases on Amazon on 18th so hoping something ships soon. Lol
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] Hitman3984:
Just got dbrand shipment notice
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] bkdodger:
Nice.... When did you place order.?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] Hitman3984:
11/5

As nice as it will be to have something on the phone I'm waiting for vrs designs to ship more.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] bkdodger:
Hopefully get mine soon.. Ordered 9/1.. Ordered Black Swarm with titanium camera

What ya get?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] Hitman3984:
matt black body, swarm camera.

wondering now if case will fit over top.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] bkdodger:
Nice... I've had success with a few cases on previous phones... Depending though.. What case you planning on Spigen Ultra Hybrid?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] Hitman3984:
VRS Designs Hard Body Active.

Though I've got spigen on order too lol
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] bkdodger:
Haha I ordered same case in Satin silver.... Also Spigen thin fit... Slickwraps one.. Sopiguard [emoji12]
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] Hitman3984:
Satin silver as well
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] bkdodger:
It looks sweet from their website..
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] Hitman3984:
Agreed, especially in contrast with black phone
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] Victor285:

I'm on this app it's not uploading just click on the link
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] FuMMoD:
Thank you Thank you! Just ordered mine
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] dogmanduke:
Thank you for that, I just scored one! Been holding out on pre ordering anything shipping in October, hoping something would pop up in stock with quick ship and lo and behold it did.. Well at least let's hope its a quick ship as it states 24th through 28th of September ship day. Kinda glad that it's clear case as I have a dbrand skin on the way that shipped today. I've been carrying my Z fold around in a pouch and today I carelessly let it slip out of hand at kitchen counter and it Took a hard corner hit in the metal kitchen sink. No damage done no scratches thankfully.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] Victor285:
No worries I cancelled 2 pre-order cases I had on Amazon LOL. I was eyeing this case since last week. It was sold out since last week
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] StormCell:
Thanks for sharing, but ordering a case that covered my hinge would defeat the purpose or ordering the custom hinge.

Not sure what I'm gonna do to protect this huge investment.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] ROE_HUNTER:
Ugh, you just had to post this! Ordered one.

---------- Post added at 03:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:05 AM ----------

I know it says clear, but the pics make it look like its a black case.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] Mingy12:
I also got a dbrand shipment email. I placed my order on the 21st.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] marctronixx:
thx m8 - just copped one.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] myth1001:
Is there a mystic bronze version?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] lynseyw:
Want to jump on this case, but I sorta feel like a case that covers the hinge is gonna gap out when open and sorta ruin the feel of the phone when it is open. Any thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] Hitman3984:
They have pictures of it but doesn't seem to be for order
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] dogmanduke:
Right, the order page says clear case.. But on my order confirmation email it says..SAM Z FOLD2 5G CM TOUGH BLACK....?

So hoping it's clear but will settle for black.. I will update once I receive it.. I have overnight shipping on it, hopefully will be here quickly.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] spaceboyusa:
Agreed but figured any case was better than no case so ordered one, delivery Monday. Happy to report back, and will definitely take it back if the back gaps out.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Accessories] ROE_HUNTER:
I almost bet you might be able to "modify" the case and maybe cut out the center portion, guess we'll find out.

---------- Post added at 08:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:33 AM ----------

Shows the same on my email, black. T-Mobile just called to verify the order and address, said it will ship today on ground. They did ask if I was a T-Mobile customer which I said yes, since technically I am now since I purchased a case from them. Anyways it was nice that they actually called and confirmed the order, and confirmed that it will ship today.
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] bind00:
First update since installing Lineageos on Lenovo P2.

The navigation bar along the bottom disappeared. Couldn't be swiped up - had been fixed previously.

Then found other things as well. Fingerprint sensor not working. Pixel launcher failing. Had been using Nova launcher and foolishly removed it thinking I'd reinstall to see if it restored the nav bar. But now stuck with a failing launcher and can't start anything - including Play to reinstall Nova. Just says 'Pixel Launcher keeps stopping, App info, Close App.' Cleared cache from App info as that was all I could do but no difference.

I haven't read it anywhere but are updates cumulative? Ie, can I skip one if I miss it and get all updates rolled up into the next one. I hope so because that's what I did. Jumped from something like 9th August to 30th.

Any ideas?
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] alirazaagha:
Current update always include codes from previous builds so you can skip nightlies in between. There are few solutions for your problem. I'm telling you two:

1. Install a third party launcher apk through system settings

2. Reboot into TWRP, wipe system only and install latest update package with nano gApps and it should work.
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] bind00:
Thanks so much for your help. In fact, while trying your first suggestion I somehow got into Google Play through APK install settings from where I was able to reinstall Nova Launcher. So now I have a partly useable phone again but still with the problems that followed the update in my OP (navigation bar gone, fingerprint sensor stopped working plus the failing launcher - those are just the things I found without looking).

It's disappointing that the update failed though, not least as staying updated was a major reason for moving to Lineage. Any ideas why this might be?

Maybe I should try the second suggestion and reinstall the update by sideloading as described here. So do I use the same file that I use to install LineageOS in the first place from here https://download.lineageos.org/kuntao? It's not stated in the document. And will this wipe the phone clean again?

Finally would I have to re-sideload a GApps package at the same time and should it be Nano GApps as suggested? Originally I installed Open GApps as suggested in the upgrade instructions.
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] alirazaagha:
The Pixel launcher in Android 10 force closes if it is not chosen as "Recents provider". Therefore, navigation bar also stops working. Hence, we need Quickswitch app to choose Pixel or any other launcher such as Lawnchair for giving them the mentioned right and that works without any hiccups.

You should install the latest update after wiping system only. You don't need to wipe everything, just wipe system partition.

Nano GApps are taken from Open Gapps website. I've suggested nano GApps because it doesnt include Pixel Launcher hence, stock ROM launcher will flawlessly work. However, if you want to use Pixel Launcher then install Magisk from recovery and Quickswitch module within Magisk. Then open Quickswitch app from launcher and click Pixel Launcher. Quickswitch app will process for a few moments and will restart your phone. Now, choose Pixel launcher as default from settings if it is not used as default and Done.
