Speck Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 5G Case - Drop Protection, Scratch Resistant & Shock-Absorbent - Slim Design Grip Protection - Presidio Perfect Clear Case

Jan 25 update: This cover lasted me about 7 months before a corner began to separate a little. I'm a bit hard on my phone, so I feel 7 months is reasonable. I've ordered the same again because I'm that satisfied with it. Some people mentioned the narrow connectors on the inside breaking but I haven't had a problem with that, and I open and close my phone frequently during the day. All in all, I think this is a nice combo of attractive, easy to use, and effective for phone protection.Update: Got the replacement cover exactly as promised and this time it is new, no scratches. I can say that over the past few days of using the new cover I've been very happy with its quality and feel. Due to the great customer service and satisfaction with the product, I'm upping my review to 5 stars. As it is similar to and even a bit thicker than the cover I originally was using from the dealer, I feel sure it will protect my phone sufficiently.Original:I received this yesterday and popped it onto my Galaxy Fold4. Perfect fit, better than the smoky topaz opaque case sold to me by Verizon when I first got the phone. It goes on very easily and allows me to enjoy the look of my phone. It's also firm enough to be protective and enables a good grip on the phone.However, once it was on the phone and I turned it over to admire the back I realized it was full of scratches. Looks as if I was shipped a used and returned one. I've already started a return and the new one should be here in two days. I'll update this review once I've received it. Good news is, the return process is simple and painless. I know it'll get scratched from use but I'd like to be the one to put those scratches on it!

Overall I am very pleased with this case for its very specific and largely unique design features separating it from the pack.Why do you you want this case?1. Its simple one piece design- both halves are connect via thin flexible material at the top and bottom. As such, installation and removal couldn't be easier- unfold your phone, place on top of unfolded case- and gently push in just like any standard case. I initially had concern that the flexible connecting material would break or snap, but after several months, its been just fine. Spigen also has good warranty, offering replacements with any problems, which is nice assurance, but I'm not worried one bit2. No adhesives- thats right - no stickers making this a permanent case, or that can wear out and essentialy make case useless- this just slides in and out, flexes and folds at will, no frills whatsoever.3. Good material- this has always been the case with Spigen and no exception here. Nice and protective, not "hard" cheap plastic- has that pefect "slight" flexibility to it. Nice and clear, and stays that way with the anti-bacterial material keeping the case from yellowing like other clear cases.To keep this an honest review- I'll list the two small issues with this case.1. no hinge protection- no way around this, just isn't offered with this because of how this is designed2. positioning of charge port- sometimes after certain folds, the port can be slightly aligned a little off from the case hole- I think this is a necessary evil resulting from the cases no-adhesive design- because the case needs to fold around the phone as the phone itself folds, this must be designed with a millimeter or so of leeway. Usually its fine, (charge port isalways perfectly lined up when the phone is un-folded, but sometimes after a fold my charge port is slightly askew left, sometimes making it hard to get a charging plug in (. This is fixed easily by simply unfolding and doing refold- keeping firm grip on right half of phone so it doesn't slide left as it goes back to folded position.Again, this is rarely a problem- but its something to keep in mind as something that can happen wit hthe case. Very minor annoyance, and fully correctable when you realize what is going on, but I will gladly take it for a case that doesn't demand I apply adhesive stickers to my expensive phone, and doesn't require my case to essentially be permanent (because once you unstick, the sticker is worn and probably won't stick well again)

The case feels premium and sturdy. It slips on and off easily, and doesn't really move around much. It makes the phone feel more protected. It provides good grip and the plastic does really well for adhesive attachments you may want to stick on the back. This is probably the best case you can buy right now for the fold 4. The case was molded with 2 materials, with hard plastic on the outside, and rubber on the inside of the case. Only rubber touches the phone, which provides protection from scratching the phone if the case was to move around.Cons:1. The piece that sits on the outer screen closest to the hinge is a pretty flexible strip of plastic. It moving around can get annoying. Wish they'd have added a small metal bar or more reinforcement to prevent it moving around.2. No hinge protection of course.3. The case holds itself together with 2 very small rubber connections on the top and bottom. Only time will tell if it will last long. Not necessarily a con but something to watch out for.4. It does pick up fingerprints pretty easily, not a big deal in my book but for other people, it may be different.All in all, great designed case. Very much worth the 60$ and cons, a lot of other cases are more expensive and are badly designed! This case shows me that Speck actually bought a fold 4 for testing.

This is a decent case, it will protect most of the phone from scratches and I had a few drops and nothing got seriously hurt (some scratches on the side that folds and isn't covered, basically).I've had two of these, though, and they both have the same clear and obvious flaw that others have discussed: the case is made out of two layers, a very thin softer layer and an outer harder layer and the side of the case that is on the front of the phone on the left is incredibly thin, just a tiny little strip up the length of the phone, so that the top layer of that little strip cracks around where it connects to the rest of the case and then starts parting from the lower layer.It's not the end of the world, but it is annoying, and it makes me wonder how durable it would actually be if I was not such a homebody.
