Speck’s Presidio Perfect-Clear Fold, one among my favorites for the Galaxy Z Flip 3, returns for the Z Flip 4. The Presidio Perfect-Clear Fold is rated for 13-foot drop safety, and it is essentially the most protecting clear case I attempted, though there is not any hinge safety. It is available in a wonderfully clear model and one imbued with glitter. (Note that the photograph above is with the Galaxy Z Flip 3 however the Z Flip 4 model must be practically an identical).

It’s protecting, it has a pleasant soft-to-touch end and there is that in-built ring that helps stop you from dropping the telephone — and you can even clip the ring to a lanyard and put on the telephone round your neck. Alas, whereas I might sort of prop the telephone up utilizing the ring on sure surfaces, I’d have appreciated the case much more if it actually transformed right into a kickstand. 

The case is available in a number of colours.

I did not like Otterbox’s Thin Flex case for the Galaxy Z Flip 3. It felt low-cost and was arduous to get off your telephone as soon as you place it on. But the brand new model for the Galaxy Z Flip 4 is significantly better and is available in translucent choices, a few which have coloured trims (the pacific reef coloration is proven in photograph). While it has a two-piece design and no hinge safety, it now appears to be like and seems like a premium case.

You can discover a bunch of generic clear instances on Amazon for the Galaxy Z Flip 4, a number of of which value lower than $15. The Restone is attention-grabbing as a result of whereas it is technically a two-piece design with no hinge safety (for the Z Flip 4’s hinge), it does characteristic a hinge of its personal that retains the 2 items collectively and helps stop them from slipping off the telephone. It additionally has a bit of additional nook safety. (I have not used this specific Restone case but however I’ve used a Restone case on one other telephone and it was effective, significantly for its low worth). 

All these cheap clear instances say they’ve anti-yellowing safety (to maintain your clear case from shedding its readability), however I do not actually consider these anti-yellow claims.

Spigen makes just a few instances for the Galaxy Z Flip 4. As its identify implies, the Tough Armor is sturdy and gives essentially the most safety in Spigen’s line. It’s additionally the one Spigen case that has an built-in protecting masking for the hinge.

As far as protecting instances go, it is one of many higher ones and is simply lacking an built-in kickstand. I additionally sort of want it got here in additional colours. Black is the one possibility for now. Expect to see worth drops on it within the coming weeks.

You slide your hand below the strap (and behind the telephone), which lets you get a grip and maintain on to your telephone with out actually wrapping your fingers round it. It’s basically a safety strap. The strap additionally gives just a little little bit of safety for the hinge while you fold up the telephone. Additionally, you’ll be able to connect the tip of the strap to a lanyard or clip it to a different strap (say, on a bag or backpack). 

Aside from having some utility, the strap additionally appears designed to carry some consideration to your telephone.

Gear4’s Bridgetown case shares some similarities with Spigen’s Tough Armor case (see beneath). It, too, is a troublesome case that solely is available in black and has some good hinge safety. The case appears to be like much like the model for the Z Flip 3 however the brand new model is a bit sleeker and the hinge protector has been improved. It’s top-of-the-line protecting instances for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4. I solely want it had been accessible in additional colours, or a transparent model.

Yes and no. Your previous Z Flip 3 case could match in your Z Flip 4 — and keep on it — however there are some small variations of their design (and dimensions) which will make it a less-than-perfect match. For occasion, the flashlight on the Zip Flip 4 is a barely totally different location than the flashlight on the Z Flip 3 and will not be centered within the cutout on a Z Flip 3 case. Also, the highest microphone could get partially coated if you happen to use a Z Flip 3 case with a Z Flip 4. You can attempt your previous case together with your new telephone to see how effectively it matches (and doubtlessly attempt to modify it barely), however there is a good likelihood you might have to get an official Z Flip 4 case for it.

The majority of Galaxy Z Flip 3 instances got here in two items. But with the Z Flip 4, we’re seeing extra one-piece instances that do supply some hinge safety. If that is one thing you are in search of, a number of of those picks will defend the hinge.

As with the Galaxy Z Flip 3, Samsung would not promote — or permit anyone to promote — display protectors for the primary entrance display of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4. The Z Flip 4 makes use of a high-tech bendable show that’s outfitted with Samsung’s personal pre-applied display protector (some individuals had points with it peeling on the Z Flip 3 and easily took it off). You can discover a handful of display protectors for the mini exterior show.

Most however not all of the instances on this checklist will let you wirelessly cost the Z Flip 4 with the case on. Those that characteristic an built-in kickstand, significantly if it is made out of steel, could require you to take away the case to cost your telephone wirelessly.
