Watch any or Flossy's reviews... he doesn't mess about on the fold 3, it's very solid and tough! He must have put 20 cases on (and tests the "raisivity"🤣👍).
If you use the top portion of the silicone case paired with the S Pen case, you’ll get great all around protection plus pen is always there. When you don’t need it, take the pen and holder off and it can lay flat. Did the same with both the Leather & Leather cover case. Hinge and side protection with Samsung styling as intended.
I am a cell phone killer. I have had the note 9 twice. I bought the note 20 ultra with the otter box case. I have broken the belt clip once. Thank u for giving me a case that can fit my needs.
Great Video! I agree with everything you stated here. Thanks for the tip about Spigen coming out with a case that will hold the S Pen! I'm looking forward to that!
Wait until the Spigen Thin Fit P is available. It's a much better design than the checkbook style case. Overall, the Spigen Slim Armor Pro is the best protection, but doesn't hold the stylus.
Great content. There's a way not to void the warranty. And this is from samsung telling me personally. If you got your phone from a carrier take to them and let them take off the thin protector this way you won't void the warranty.
@@hincapiej4 simple everytime you go to the carrier and they help you with your phone they print out what they did. And have you sign it, and give you a copy. Is that using my brain enough.
@@jeromegold3216 that still wouldn't protect you. Any damage to the screen without the screen protector would result in a warranty void. You can't prove that the damage wasn't because of the lack of the stock screen protector. The stock screen protector is good enough. This coming from someone who has a z fold3.
I use a case mate tough plus and store it in a Nite IZE XXL pouch. I have removed the velcro and installed a magnet instead. The S pen just sits at the bottom of the case in its own case then my phone. I think this spigen case would have been better if it was 1 piece.
Thank you for pointing out that the “Case with S-Pen” includes a $50 S-Pen, something no other cover does (and something others reviewers omit). The cover is a good idea, poorly executed. It needs to include a separate edge protection for the front screen and something to hold it closed. I have this case while I decide if I need to carry the S-Pen all the time but I will be getting extra edge protection for front screen. As a pre-order the case cost $14 more than the S-Pen alone, so it will do for now.
I totally agree on all these points. It's crazy to think Samsung made this beautiful expensive phone... And this is the case they came up with for it. 😬
That Samsung folio case is garbage. Yeah, you have the s pen holder, but after a days use, the flap won't stay on the display and causes the display to turn on repeatedly. I just installed the slim armor pro. While not perfect, it looks great and offers stellar protection.
the cheaper speigen case has a better hinge cover as the whole case is in one piece with the hinge cover going inside the back of the case so no bump available on amazon
@@TechCrackedWeekly be careful when taking the spigen slim armor pro case off cause it will pull off the 5g cover right above the volume button I found that out the hard way so wipe the inside of the case off right above the volume button to get the sticky tab off of that part of the case so it wouldn't happen again just a heads up
naw the slim armor pro is way better man. People complain about the 5g spot coming loose, but hey just dont use the adhesive on that spot. I only use the adhesive on the front screen and since the back snaps on I have no moving with my case when it opens.
@@kilbornagon no complaints here with that case if I had to I would still buy it I have drop my cell a few times already and it still look like I just got it but to be real when I first got it for $79.99 I did think twice but for what the phone cost its a no brainer
I have both of these cases and the spigen is the best hands down. The Samsung flip case is crap. I did just discover that the s pen case can slide off the actual phone case. Just push it up from the bottom and the whole thing comes off.
Nice video! I'm waiting on my Z3 to arrive, but to me, it looks like the Spigen Tough Armor may be the way to go. I say that because it lays flat when open. I'm a big SPen user so I don't like my case that makes my phone dance while I'm using it on a flat surface. A shootout between the Slim vs Tough would be great!
Can you link me what case your using now and the front screen protector you have? I just pre-order my z fold3 I got to wait 1 month before I can get my hands on my phone. I been looking around for case and have no clue which is good or bad. I'm just getting mix reviews mostly for cases.
Nice Review, I m considering to buy Slim armour Pro.. heard that makes scratches on front screen and also makes difficulty to type or swipe on the front screen edges.. Please share your experience.
It is harder to swipe from the screen edges, but this seems to be the problem with a case on most phones. I haven't noticed any scratches caused by the case though. 🙂 If I notice anything, I'll be sure to update. Thanks for your question and watching. 🙂
From what I've read the scratches were caused by people who didn't use the adhesive which caused the case to slide around. If you use the adhesive so it doesn't slide it should be fine.
Knowing me I would probably somehow attach/superglue the S pen holder to that pouch 😂. All you would need now is a kickstand and gtg... Thanks for the video, I got some ideas brewing for sure 👍
@@TechCrackedWeekly so far they s21 ultra solution was better I'd much rather have a thicker case than a case that never sits flat. Uk how nilkin made their s21 ultra spen case w an elastic spen slot that's how 3rd part manufacturers should make there zold fold 3 spen case cause usually taking note is when u would really care about phone sitting flat other timez u wouldn't really care. Or they could make the same exact flip case with magnetic n full protection w the same removal spen pouch that way ur phone will sit flat when u want n other timez u got they spen slot. Flip case+spen slot with magnet is the best solution since it protects every part of the phone.
Too be honest The Spigen looks much too bulky and plastic in my opinion...it s a crime to the luxury design of z fold 3...and I see additional 4 big negative issues 1. not easy to remove and reinstall several times maybe for in between car holder or just changing 2. The front screen is already narrow....it will not be easy to push letters/numbers with your fingers along the corner because of this big plastic frame...and frontscreen does not work with s pen 3. The screen itself is not secured by falling on a stick out stone 4. There is no stand function😥 on such an expansive cover...and no S pen hold 5. Design of z fold 3 is gone😥😥plastic wherever you look I run z fold 2.....at home i use Samsung aramid case....looks slim and has a (bad functioning) holder In holiday situations i use a full leather all around case with magnetic closure....it may drop to ground in any angle without touching dust or stones. Samsung aramid was pretty expansive....45 $....but stylish look....just no protection for the upper side. The leather case was 15$. Very secure but bad handling with Selfies and no stand function. Really nice looking is only Samsung Aramid case...but very little protection
Terrific review. Thank you. But please think about not saying actually all the time. It's an unnecessary and distracting filler word. And you said it around 60 times. Keep up the videos!
@@TechCrackedWeekly Just bought one with a stand , it just says z fold 3 case. It's a carbon fiber one looks like the 1 from Samsung, that they released last year rugged one. But the face on the cover is flimsy. Socks they can't get a decent one made. I'm thinking the perfect one, would be like the vrs design but half the bulk.
Spigen brought out the recent case... But they slipped by not including the spine protection as well. The spine could have been made thinner I'm sure. 😐
@@TechCrackedWeekly do they know something we don't know, like next year the S-pen slot will be incorporated into the Z4? Why invest in S-pen slots on covers when it won't be necessary in the future.
I thought these were adhesive strips, but it appears MAYBE they are just a bumper of some sort. I've removed the case with no issues and switched to the AI Autofocus case with pen slot. During use with the Spigen, there were no issues though. 🙂
@@TechCrackedWeekly they should be adhesive there are reports of them tearing off that plastic piece to the 5g antennae . I'm currently using the Spigen thin fit p and terra guard
Hi John, This device is still costly which is a con. The benefit of this over a tablet though is that it's foldable and weight is comparable. 🙂 I hope we get to see foldable tablets in the future that would make them more portable.
I purchased mine so I didn't need to carry a phone and a tablet and it does that just fine, if not better.. It is slightly heavier than a normal phone but to be honest after a couple days I got used to it
@@ala1for OK.... please tell that to the people who own 14 million phones that are broken every year. Do you know that people have been forced to buy new belt carriers for this phone.
