I still can't find a good case with the front case. Spigen took too long to arrive from amazon.

My collection of (mostly) cheap and nasty cases, purchased from Shopee and Lazada (I got one more cheap one on the way, so not shown here, but looks like a super cheap version of item D)

My thoughts on each case:
A
Second most expensive after item C.  Plain smooth plastic, no patterns on back cover.  Easy to snap on and remove.  Makes the phone look like a real cheap whore.

B
Most expensive of the lot at > RM100, purportedly made in Korea.  Faux leather, one piece "book-type" case which covers entire phone.  Criss-cross pattern.  A real biatch to put on and remove as the sides are made of thick plastic and you may lose a fingertip or two when trying to remove it, not to mention your phone may go flying if you are a bit over-enthusiastic while removing the case.

But this is the most practical of the cases here and my favourite as it really covers the entire phone.  When opened, the front flap will cover the front screen when you hold the phone like a book, thus avoiding even more fingerprints, grease, and undesirable other-whatnots on the front screen.  The case gives a good grip.  Protects the phone when in a pocket or bag full of keys or other objects which may damage the screen.

Downsides are that it makes a thick phone even thicker.  The cutout for the microphone at the bottom next to the USB-C port is not aligned 100%.  The felt-ish material on the inside front cover attracts dust like a whorehouse attracts oil rig workers coming ashore after 2 years at sea.  Oh, and did I mention it's a pain in the behind to put on and remove?

Search for "araree fold 2" in Lazada for this case.

C
Cheapest of the lot and it shows.  No front frame.  Easy to put on and remove.  Shows the colour of your phone because it's transparent.  Not really practical, I bought it just for shits and giggles.

D
Comes with front frame and back cover supposedly made of real leather.  Smells like real leather to me too, but my olfactory senses aren't what they used to be 30 years ago.  Easy to put on and remove as the sides are made out of thinner plastic compared to item B.

Downsides are that the front frame is thick (see third and last pictures) and therefore touching and swiping edges of the front screen is going to be an exercise in patience.

I got items A, C and D from Shopee, just do a search for "fold2" or "fold 2", new items are added daily, and prices can fluctuate a bit too.

Finally, put a protector on the back camera lens bump.  While case B may protect the entire phone, the camera lens still need protection if you plan on putting the phone on the surface.

Hope this helps those who are looking for their "perfect" case.

Anyone know how to enable the built in call recording function in Galaxy Z Fold 2?

I used to change to Thai CSC with my Note 9, but this method is not working with the ZF2 anymore.

On your previous used on Note 9, would you able to export the recording file? I never try recording app from Samsung. Last time I use S8 Pirates of the Caribbean China set there is recording button for phone app. But never try.

In my previous note 9, I can export the recording easily.

Best to use the native built in recording function. All third party recording app will not work perfectly.

After 16 days using the phone naked, today arrived el cheapo cases. I might use only back case later as when using the front screen, it feels small with that casing borders. Too thick too.

Since the internal screen is easier to get greasy and need delicate thing to wipe with, i have to bring this microfiber cloth everywhere. Usually just use wearing shirt to wipe. Last time on Z Flip, had 1 nail scratch, maybe happened when i open it with one hand. This time need to be really careful.

Fold3 and fold2 have not much different.
S pen should be built in. Not standalone.
I got a stylus for my fold2 and it works perfectly fine.
I guess I am gonna stick with my fold 2.
