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

This is a great case. I have purchased two of these, now. I love the color, functionality, and ease of use. My first one cracked and broke in a few spots, but that was after several drops for over a year and a half time period. It has definitely saved my phone from a lot damage. These are a little pricey, but worth the protection. I am really loving the Spigen brand quality and esthetics.

Hands down the best case for the Z fold. I had this case for 1.5 years without an issue. I'm a mechanic and very rough on my phone. I ran my Fold 5 over with an F-150, screen down, and the case still did not break. Neither did the phone, but a week later, the inside screen broke down the middle. I had to upgrade my phone to the 6 and bought a new case. This time, I bought an OtterBox, thinking it would be better at double the price. Unfortunately, the hinge protector is prone to breaking. I'm on my 3rd warranty case in 2 months... Next time I break the Otterbox I'll be buying another Spigen case. I've owned every fold except the first and have spent hundreds on cases. Nothing compares to this case. It's thin and durable. Please learn from my mistakes.

I recently purchased the Spigen Slim Armor Pro case for my Galaxy Z Fold 5, and I couldn't be more satisfied with my choice. This case offers an outstanding blend of durability and sleekness, making it a perfect companion for my phone.**Design and Build Quality:**The Slim Armor Pro case features a multi-layered construction that includes polycarbonate and impact foam, ensuring excellent protection against drops and impacts. Despite its robust build, the case maintains a sleek and stylish appearance that complements the modern design of the Galaxy Z Fold 5. The precise cutouts for the camera, buttons, and ports are perfectly aligned, offering seamless functionality.**Hinge Protection:**One of the standout features of this case is its hinge protection. The semi-auto sliding technology ensures that the hinge is well-protected without adding bulk or interfering with the folding mechanism. This is a critical aspect for any foldable phone case, and Spigen has executed it flawlessly.**Drop Protection:**Equipped with Spigen’s Air Cushion Technology, the Slim Armor Pro provides excellent drop protection. The raised edges around the screen and camera offer additional safety, ensuring that these sensitive areas are less likely to suffer damage from accidental drops.**Usability:**Despite the added protection, the case does not hinder the phone's usability. It remains compatible with wireless charging, which is a significant convenience. The textured surface provides a good grip, reducing the likelihood of accidental slips.**Overall Experience:**In summary, the Spigen Slim Armor Pro case is a fantastic investment for anyone looking to protect their Galaxy Z Fold 5. It combines robust protection with a sleek design, making it an ideal choice for those who want to keep their phone safe without compromising on style. Whether it’s the precise cutouts, the innovative hinge protection, or the overall build quality, this case has exceeded my expectations in every way.

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.

Worked great, had it for two years and it helped up great. Wireless charging, great. Compared to the newer models it was on the thick side but fine overall.
