Spigen for Galaxy Z Fold 6 Case, Slim Armor Pro (2024) [Hinge Protection] - Metal Slate

Okay, so I tried the other Spigen case (I forgot the name, but it had a stand and S Pen holder—Tough Armor?). Anyway, that one broke within the first month. It also did not have wireless charging capability. So I decided to try this case. I have to say this is a premium-feeling case. I love that the hinge cover goes back to closed unlike other cases I have tried. It also allows wireless charging, so you can get one of those MagSafe rings and stick it on the back, and it works perfectly!

After spending money and time on different cases that didn't pan out, this one finally did! My only regret was not making spigen my first choice! It doesn't add a lot of bulk, and my phone has great protection while looking great. The spine bump when you unfold it is not a deal breaker, and its not bothersome as originally thought it would be.

Overall great case like always from the company. Only complaint is my charger doesn't work when the phones opened as the pad can't reach. But that's the trade off for hinge protection. I'm fine with that trade off.

After replacing my Fold 3 with a Fold 6, I knew I needed a better case. I'd used an aramid fiber case for my 3 and loved it, but I had no hinge protection. By the time I was done with it, the hinge had so much debris inside it that I couldn't unfold it all the way.For my 6, I absolutely wanted hinge protection. I knew it wouldn't seal it from dust and tiny debris, but it's better than nothing and should at least help. I really wanted an aramid case again as they're very thin and feel great, but couldn't find any acceptable one.I spent days and days researching different cases. After narrowing it down to three, I pulled the trigger on this one and planned to return it if I didn't like it. Lucky for me, it's great.It's slightly thicker than aramid fiber and is noticable, but not so much that it's uncomfortable or makes the phone feel significantly different. After a day or two I didn't even notice is was there. I was worried about the quality of the hinge cover as it's connected on only one side, but it's worked very well.My only complaint is with the front screen cover (more like bezel) which, unfortunately, is always the weak point on Fold cases. As is the case with most cases (pun intended), the most they can offer is a bezel that fits as tightly as possible and utilizes double-sided tape.They actually did a pretty good job! It fits the front of the phone very well, better than most. My only complaint is the right-side edge of the front cover portion; it uses double-sided tape along the length of the phone to secure itself to it, but the tape is too thin to be effective. Even with the great fit, immediately after installing it would slightly pop off. Not upward, but to the side. No amount of holding it back in place would last more than a few minutes.Luckily, as I said before, the front piece actually fits the phone extremely well, it's a tight fit, so there are no issues with the piece coming off - it's not going anywhere. That one edge will just have a tiny amount of play to it for a while. Fortunately, it seems that over time it's molded itself against the phone a bit. It's still not completely secure, for instance if you pull on it slightly with your finger you'll notice that it will bend outward a tiny bit rather than being secured to the side of the phone, but outside of intentionally doing that it seems to be a non-issue at this point.My only other slight complaint isn't unique to this case - the front screen lip. In order to protect the screen when you drop it flat on its face, the surrounding portion has a *slight* lip; maybe a millimeter or so. Because of this, actions that require you to slide to the very edges of the front screen are more difficult. Trying to select text that begins or ends at the edge of your screen, using swipe controls in place of recent/home/back buttons, trying to drag all icons to different home screen pages, etc, can all be a bit of a pain. Luckily some of these are fixed in software; for instance, you can now use two fingers to move apps and other stuff on your home screen (push and hold the all with one, then use a second finger to swipe between pages). Selecting a block of text where the first or last word begins/ends right at the edge of the screen is probably the biggest example - trying to get that one letter that's up against the screen border can take some finagling. Again, though, that isn't unique to this case and I'd rather be slightly annoyed twice a week than not have a screen lip and have my cover screen get cracked.Long story short - it feels high quality, the hinge cover is MUCH better than expected, the grip is good, it doesn't feel excessively thick, the cutouts for USB-C, the side buttons, cameras, and fingerprint sensor are all great, and it looks good.

Best case and company. Every phone I've had i got a case from this company. Grippy, good protection. Very high quality. Each time I'm impressed. Expensive for the fold 6. Far more than the other phones I've had. 2 or 3 times more actually. But totally worth it. This phone wasn't cheap. So why cheap out on a case? 10/10 will use them for whatever phone I get next as well.

Don't recommend for anyone who uses the open mode to play games. Very expensive and because of the design the hinge protector, phone can no longer sit flat on table in tablet mode. Some people like this as it props the phone up a tad for watching a video. The problem with this is if you want your phone to stay still while tapping on screen, it will not.Since there is no way to disable hinge protector, especially while open that does not require you to either completely remove the case (ruining the adhesive strips every time) or ripping the hinge off completely defeating the purpose of a hinge protector in the first place as once it's forcibly removed I doubt it will just pop back on (considering it's held in place with springs that would unwind once removed). This is an enthusiast level price being 75+ USD and some countries complaining of prices due to shipping issues of 200+ in some areas because of availability. That is a lot to spend on a case that offers close to no protection if dropped while screen is open (the bevel on insides is same level as the screen, so realistically it's offering no protection for dropped open devices which is the most likely scenario I drop it in. Realistically, with this case on this phone it becomes worse than my s23 for gaming purposes since the outside screen is smaller, and who buys a MSRP $2k phone for not enjoying games on the larger screen.TLDR; Overpriced cheap Chinese design that uses super glue to hold it on the device (adhesive strips). No forethought went into the design of this case for the device it was made, as the usage of this device is meant to be primarily open for the bigger screen real estate. Avoid this and get an otter box, you'll get a better protecting case, that is bulkier, but will not require you to play games at a third of the size of the device is capable of. If someone had handed me the (2) pieces of the case that locks on phone and asked me how much I thought it cost, I would have said 15-20 bucks, not 70+.I probably wouldn't buy another Spigen case, as this is the second case I bought in the last 3 years for 2 different devices at a high price that burned me. If Spigen would stop firing their engineers (the people that made them a good company in the first place) and outsourcing their manufacturing needs to a cheap Chinese company(ies) (only to slap their own "logo" on the side and call it a day) they might retain some of their somehow loyal customers for a mediocre overprice product. I on the other hand won't get burned a third time, and if you're considering buying spigen, don't. Save 30 bucks and buy an otterbox, as it offers better protection and a better design especially for games. Couldn't be more disappointed in spigen products over the last year or two. Management seems to be making poor decisions to cheap out in cost while cheapening the quality of the product. Some might call that "good marketing" but even a student failing a basic economics course in college can tell you this strategy only pays off in the extreme short run and always leads to bankruptcy. The shame here is spigen used to make amazing cases. Now management destroyed the name.

I want you all to know this. This is by far the beat case for this phone. I have tried plenty this is the one. Spigen makes great cases I had the other one and it was OK but huge and pulled on my facial hair. This is it. Stop looking comparing this it. Fits front screen protector too.
