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

This is by far the best case for the Z fold 8 for me. This marks the fourth case I have tried. First the magnet is definitely the strongest. It does not slide or rotate on my car magsafe charger. I'm able to have it open vertical or horizontal and it holds steady. Second the case correctly guides my fingers to the power and columns buttons. Several cases only make a indication on the bottom half of the case. This causes your fingers to slide right past the power and volume rocker. This case has found a way to split the difference and guides your fingers to those buttons. Third this also has an actual mechanical hinge that works well and is very thin. Most other cases in reality just have a molded piece of plastic that really isn't a mechanical hinge. Fourth the case finds a way to offer chunky protection but remain slim while holding it in your hands. I highly recommend this case for z fold 8 owners.

After trying a few cases and having issues with them (flimsy kickstands, loose fittings, or overly bulky) decided to try this case and absolutely love it though I do have two slight complaints. The case itself feels durable and install was super simple and straight forward. Peel the covers off the sticky mounts and press on the phone with it open. Before install I noted the case resisted flexing before install and either open or closed the linked hinges feel solid and always line up perfectly and just feels great in the hand. I very much like that there is no built in screen protector so you can choose your own. But that leads to the first downside for me. The left side of the front screen case is super thin and just flexes and shifts alot. I am tempted to try and find some super thin adhesive tape to hold it down but without the built in cover it's to be expected. Though would be amazing if that was included. The other issue is the hinge cover. The springs return nicely and it's a very slim cover for dust and dirt but being so thin it does seem warped and doesn't sit very flush with the rest of the case. Pressing on it gently you can see it shift closer and flex slightly. I am not sure if it's a general fitment issue from the thin flexible edge of the front screen case or not. While not a major concern it should be noted. The magnet itself is insanely strong in mine. I have seen others complain but I feel with quality magsafe products it's not an issue. My scosche car mount can hold the phone folded open in portrait view without falling or rotating. My battery pack attaches strongly but the real kicker is the magsafe kickstand. I can not remove it folded flat against the phone the magnets are just too strong. I have to open it and lever it off the back to swap the the car dock. Not a downside in my opinion. Overall it's an amazing case without the gimmicks or niche ideas I have had in others that honestly just complicate the design without adding long term value. Will definitely be choosing spigen again.

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.

Stuck with spigen ever since. Never disappoints! This was perfect for my use case. The hinge protection is also hinged so it doesn't need a magnet to keep itself in place. The grip is sufficient and what I mean by that is if your hand is absolutely dry, the case will be slippery. But if your hand is reasonably hydrated, it is very gripy. The thinness is also perfect for me, barely added any bulk and when I had side by side with my s24 ultra, the case probably added an extra 3-5mm in width (?). So it's quite negligible. In terms of fit and quality, very worth the money! The added magsafe feature is very strong too, paired it with a popsocket and it takes a significant amount of force to take it off.

Update: August 2024. I've used and abused it for a year. Haven't experienced any of the issues other reviewers claim. I noticed in the pictures of other reviews complaining about it breaking that the cases don't seam to be installed tightly to the phone. Mine fits perfectly. I don't overextend the thing cover so my springs haven't broke. And I have the case tightly fit on the edges of the phone. My complaints posted earlier still stand. But as for quality and durability, it gets a 5. It's been dropped, slid, carelessly tossed, drug through dirt, and fiddles with probably more than it should have been. Phone is good except a few little Knicks on the hinge from sand and grit. Case is scarred and scratched but otherwise undamaged. I'm not careful with my phone and it's held up a year. I'd buy it again. It protects your phone. Feels good and is good quality like all the other Spigen cases I have used. I don't like the smooth, rather boring soft touch finish. Not only is it boring and plain but it wears off quickly, leaving shiny plastic exposed in spots. Atthe bottom of the hinge cover, a small piece is delaminating. It appears to have been glued on and then soft touch coated to look like 1 piece. I've only had it a couple months now but it isn't holding up like most spigen cases. I also don't like the fact that it attaches with adhesive tape. It hasn't come off, but to access your Sim card, you need to remove the case and guess what... Now it needs to be replaced. It literally costs $75 to swap the Sim card. I know it's an odd design but Spigen, if you're reading this, you pay engineers to design this expensive product. They need to do a better job and get more creative. We all need a case that can be removed and reused. They should also warn you upfront that this expensive case is a 1 time use only. While I'm mostly pleased with this case, it's more than a minor inconvenience to have to buy a new case every time you want to clean your phone or remove the sim card or any other reason you want to remove the case. Maybe they should offer free replacements for 2 years. At the $94 price point on Spigen's website, it would be a fair solution. To sum it up, it's a good case if you are ready to commit to it. No switching multiple cases out depending on your mood....unless you have hundred$ to burn.

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.

A perfect fit for my Fold 8. Thin yet still feels well-protected. Very pleased with this case.

This case fixes every single complaint I've had about every single other fold case I've tried. No adhesive needed, the front and back pieces are connected and secure, strong hinge protection, and all that without being totally bulky! Only complaint is that the left side of the front case seems a bit flimsly/bends a lot, but I'll just have to try not to break it like I did with my last spigen case while fidgeting with it.

Me encanta. Si buscas una funda fina esta no es para ti. Es una funda no muy gruesa que de verdad protege, sin más. Calidad de acabados, sistema de protección de bisagra, magsafe, simplemente spigen, llevo más de un a década confiando en sus fundas por algo. Si como yo tienes dudas del color Metal Slate, solo te diré que es precioso, al menos a mi me encanta. Adjunto una foto con la Spigen en color negro y el propio ZFold8 al lado. Es un color más próximo al oscuro del samsung que al negro como tal. Es un color muy elegante y agradecido. Si acaso le pondría un punto de mejora. Que la parte trasera tuviese algún rayado como el del lateral de la bisagra, para que fuese menos escurridizo en la mano y también en cargadores inalámbricos magsafe, que el de spigen por ejemplo también es liso y hace que el tlf se gire si pretendes usar el gps con la pantalla abierta (hace mucha palanca para el poco agarre que tienen entre los 2). Por todo lo demás, tal cual como la buscaba.

J’adore cette coque de téléphone. Elle protège très bien mon téléphone. J’ai juste une question : quelle protection d’écran puis-je utiliser avec cette coque pour le Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 ?

It is the best case for protection and looks if you don't care about pen or stand BUT EXPENSIVE

Great think case with hinge protection!! The hinge cover is probably one of the slimmest on marker! And it's not cheap! Build with texture pattern, so it provide lots of grip
