Spigen for Galaxy Z Fold 5 Case, Slim Armor Pro (2023) [Hinge Protection] - Black

Great fit and great protection for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7. I've tried several cases, and so far this is the winner for overall fit with hinge protection. The back is smooth, and the screen edges all have a nice raised edge for protection. Magsafe mounting and charging both work great. My phone reaches a 100% charge via a Magsafe compatabile stand and remains cool. The hinge cover is well designed and blends in nicely. I like having the protection but other cases have had a flimsy cover that feels and looks odd. This design helps it blend in and it had a quality feel and look. The cutouts all match up perfectly. Another well made Spigen product.

This is the best case I have ever purchased for a wireless phone. The fold is a very difficult phone to protect because of the complexity of the hinge and the front screen without losing real estate. It looks really sharp. It feels pretty good and the hinge is protected. I kept buying cases and the front screen protector keeps falling offThey even supplied extra adhesives, if that happens to you. I give it a perfect ten. I usually buy the otter blank blank blank brand because it was the best or life blank blank blank. Spigen was my third best k choice. They really have outdone themselves. Can you buy a case for your phone?At least look at spigen.

This is a great case for the Fold 7! It is slim, but feels just about as protective as the Otter Defender XT which is much bulkier than this Spigen case.The frame around the front screen is thoughtfully lower in the center and on the right edge, so you can still easily use navigation gestures without the case interfering (this is a big problem on the Otterbox case). It still provides a good lip around the front screen to protect it.It was very easy to install on the phone, and it works without interfering with my glass screen protector.The hinge protector and the overall case feel very premium and well-designed. It is slight thicker towards the hinge than the other side, making it lie a lot flatter than the phone does without a case (that camera bump is huge…).I love it and I’m highly satisfied.

tl;dr:+ Fits well+ seems to offer good protection+ slip+ hard plastic back for accessories- front is held on only by adhesive strips- hinge cover is spring loaded, connected only to rear- relies on the user to press the hinge out to close, rather than pull the hinge cover- hinge cover will take abuse from user pulling on it for leverage when opening.Long version:The case seems sturdy. I would compare it to an otterbox commuter case as opposed to their defender line. the rear half snapped on snugly with no signs of movement, though the front "cover" is little more than a frame that covers the edges. (to be fair, you would have a hard time doing more) But the front cover does not clip on, it sort of slides on over the phone and uses little adhesive tabs to stay in place. These seems secure enough, but time will tell if they begin to fail after needing to pull on the case to open the phone. And that's a big part as well, the way the phone is designed, and the case as well, you will need to pull on the hinge cover of the case in order to get the leverage to open the phone unless you have a surface to put the phone on everytime you open it. this goes equal for closing. unless you like the idea of pressing on the inside screen to get the phone to fold, you will find yourself pulling on the hinge cover so that the phone-hinge buckles enough to fold.Overall, a good case for what it is. Considering the options available, I would probably buy it again. But the otterbox version has the hinge attached to BOTH halves.

I bought into the hype about the Dbrand cases, they had cool skins, sounded like the texture provided good grip so I ordered one but it was going to take over a month to arrive so I ordered this Spigen case. Thank goodness I did! It's an amazing case. Very low profile so it doesn't increase the bulk of the phone. The spine has protection, this was important to me as I've already seen videos of people dropping their phones just right and breaking them b/c the case they bought doesn't offer that protection. The magnet is strong and the case doesn't interfere with wireless charging and the USB slot is open enough that I have no problem plugging it in either. The bezel along the sides of the front are raised and angled nicely so I can tap and swipe on the edges easily (not so much with the dbrand case). The side where the volume and power/fingerprint reader keys are were done expertly b/c I can utilize them with ease. It always felt awkward on the dbrand case. It's and excellent case. So I used it for about a month until my dbrand case came in and switched but after only a couple of weeks I switched back to the Spigen case b/c it just felt better all around. Yeah, I wish I could get the dbrand stickers and the textured grip on the Spigen but as it stands, it's superior to the dbrand one in my opinion. I don't drop my phone so I can't speak to it's protection but looking at the padding before I put it on, it looks like it should do the job.
