RingkeSlim Case Compatible with Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3, Hard Thin Solid Premium PC Shockproof Lightweight Protective Phone Cover for Z Fold3 5G (2021) - Black

Great slim case for the Fold 3. Love it.

Case options were scarce for the Zfold. When I ordered this it seemed like a good option that would provide protection without being too bulky. It's a hard, rigid plastic. I was expecting more of a rubbery coating for shock absorbtion. The first (only) time it fell was off the sofa cushion to the floor and that caused a hairline crack in the front case, ehi h also popped off. I don't have a picture of the crack but I know I need a new case because it would be worthless in a bigger fall. The adhesive strips... There aren't backups if it becomes unstuck at any point. the front right is missing an adhesive strip which might be why it popped off so easily and also becomes loose with wear since it's a high touch point when opening the phone. My next complaint is why are the adhesive strips on a a clear case black?? I chose a clear case so I could customize the skin underneath but now there are ugly black lines at the adhesive points. My husband has a different brand case for his Zfold and it has clear strips even though his case is solid...Found that to be a little annoying. The Good - The case does protect from scratches, the screen won't touch a table when laying face down and the phone also doesn't wobble when open due to little bumper on the back so that was a good design element. Overall the case provides a moderate level of protection but I don't think it would do much in a drop more than a foot or so.

My only issue with this case is that the half that covers the exterior small screen isn't very sturdy on the buttons-end. It doesn't hug the phone very tight and has a little play, even when pulled on very tightly. It's not a huge deal, but if you're bothered by this type of thing this case may not be for you. It's very easy to remove the small screen half to clean out dust etc. The other half isn't exactly easy to remove, but it's not as difficult as some of the videos for other cases made it seem.

I bought this case and another similar no name case for a third the price. The Ringke case is a bit thicker and the quality of the back part of the case is better. However, the front part of the case leaves a lot to be desired. Even with the sticker, it is flimsy and keeps sliding off. It has already scratched the manufacturer's screen protector, which thank God it had one. Otherwise it would have probably scratched my actual screen. Also the sticker to adhere is black and my phone is phantom silver, not sure we why they wouldn't use a clear sticker on a clear case. I am ordering some clear double sided tape and will try to change out and see if that solves the front flimsy part of the case from sliding off as well.. Regardless, it is way overpriced for all of the issues and potential damage.

Back part sticks like crazy but the front is alright to remove, haven't had it long enough to see if it will yellow or not. Pretty sure it will. Overall a decent holdover case if you're waiting for a better case that's shipping or something

I love this case!! Perfect for me. I do not like super bulky cases. My problem with my first case. Way too bulky. The front lip was way too high and I have small fingers and even I had to use the sides of my fingers to text on the front screen. And my second case wasn’t enough and cheap at all. So third case a charm. Honestly, the matte look is cute with my silver and I think it would look good with any other color also. Plus no thumb prints. The pictures I took were just what it looks like without cleaning the phone and taking “picture perfect” photos for the review. It doesn’t look all greasy and finger printed up. Will always buy this exact one for my upgrade also.
