Jesus H. Christ, some of these folks in /GalaxyFold subreddit are beyond OCD already. I swear their eyes are like micron telescopes that can detect the slightest scratch invisible to naked eye and make it look like a valley. Time to use your Fold as it should be used as.Otherwise either you get a second unit and leave it looking shiny new or use your Fold in the most sterile debris-free environment, like a freaking COVID vaccine lab.  Anybody here STILL babying your Fold 2 after a month of purchase? I mean, I carry a microfibre cloth wherever I go and do a wipedown once in a while, but it's ridiculous overprotecting it until you're not putting the Fold to good use because you're too scared it'll scratch the damn thing. I mean I'm not abusing my Fold 2 but neither am I using a PPE and gloves while operating it. Sorry for the rant, lack of sleep. Watching the charts too much and then made the mistake of surfing that subreddit. I need to get some breakfast.....  |

It tend to get smudge easily but definitely not babying it too much |

Although I put on the back cover since the moment I unboxed the phone, I still notice a few micro-scratches on the glossy black surface that can be seen with naked eyes one day when I remove the back case and see. I really couldn't understand how this could happen.  To prevent this to happen again or worsen, I again was forced to wrap the back of the phone although it's covered by the case.

QUOTE(wr6969 @ Oct 21 2020, 10:21 PM) Received the transparent Ringke Slim case I ordered after 10 days from Korea via Lazada. My favourite case so far I think, next to the Araree flip case. Both sides come with some pre-applied tape (those black coloured "bars" in the pictures) to hold the case more securely to the phone. I didn't use them though, since the case already fits quite snugly onto the phone and unless you're planning to wield the phone like a crazed samurai, I don't think the case will slip off the phone easily. The sides of the case are tapered, not straight down like those cheapo China cases. It is also definitely slimmer, and has more "flex" to it when you grip it slightly tight in your palm (before you put it onto the phone, that is). Swiping to activate the edge panel is easy, it's almost guaranteed to work every time you try it, unlike those China cases. The back case even has a slot to insert a lanyard which came with the case but I don't plan on using it unless the case is superglued to the phone. Bought it for RM79, seller raised the price to RM99 right after I bought it (they did the same to this item in their LZD Singapore store too). I got the transparent one to show the colour of the phone since I've paid a small fortune for it. Ignore the seemingly off-centred camera cutout in the last picture, the case wasn't seated properly in the phone when I took that picture.      seems good and affordable, why no one else comment on this case? |

Still can't bring myself to pull the trigger. Guess I'm sticking with my Fold 1 for now.

I myself am doing that, after the initial greed of wanting to get another Fold 2. At the rate Samsung is announcing things, it wont be too long before Fold 3 is announced ( or leaked more convincingly). For me, I'm waiting to see if Fold 3 would really be that monstrosity of multiple folding absurdity, or if Samsung can sexy-it-up or make it look better than the clunky render in that Fold 3 leak. If it does, then maybe I'll skip it and just get Flip 2 for fun, with all these crypto profit burning in my wallet. |

In case someone here interested to beta test for the rest of us.  Not me though, I'm content with whatever version of OneUI running now. Read too many stories of incompatibilities especially those running SamsungDex, and I'm running my Fold 2 like a secondary PC using Samsung Dex whever I'm around my portable or home work stations. Can't afford meddling with beta stuff just get a peek of the new UI and risk f***ing up Samsung Dex which is running perfectly on my Fold 2 now. https://www.sammyfans.com/2020/11/10/breaki...alaxy-z-fold-2/EDIT: Only available in US, Germany, India, Poland, China, and UK.Good let these folks be the guinea pigs. |

After trying four cases (two from Samsung, Spigen Ultra Thin and one cheap case from China), I finally found the perfect case for Fold 2. It's the Haainc's Ultra Polymer case. It's solid and perfect case. No adhesive required and the left side of the front cover doesn't wobble like the rest. It's solid fitting and firm and the material is top notch. I ordered this from E-Bay on Sunday and received it today from Busan, South Korea. You can check out this guy's review here: https://youtu.be/tOkOpshNxdk   |

So far so good, the case is fit nicely no wobble what so ever... only at front screen, sometimes hard for me to touch the navigation button with one hand...
