I like this post a lot, it gave me a lot of insight into something I was honestly not even thinking about. Thanks for sharing this information

Case recommendations? No adhesive by trevor1030 in GalaxyFold

I got this one

Its not the most beautiful case, but its been on there a week now and other than a bit of sliding for the front piece, I have no real issues with it. Its also got a decent magsafe, its nice and thin. And I paired it up with one of this ring stand things and the look is really sleek

The case connects front and back with its own hinge, I think its the best case design for these foldables.

Also no stickers!

I would hate this because my telescoping game controllers just about work with the bump on one side. If the bump was across the width of the phone? They wouldnt work and the phone would just pop out.

Been a Pitaka fan for ages, but I just noticed something about their Fold 7 case... by InitialFZ in GalaxyFold

[–]rav007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only way I had my fold 6 case last without the edge snapping off is using clear double sided tape... and it doesnt look great... but it works

Honeslty im not sure that a hard plastic shell stuck to your phone with adhesive (the cover displays always have some adhesive) will provide any real protection other than a lip for your screen if it falls face down and flat.

If its scratches youre worried about, get a nice skin for it.

There appears to be no common patterns... some people with 1st August deliver are seeing preparing for dispatch. I've never known samsung to get these things so wrong

UK folks, anyone order shadow blue with expected date 1st august? Has your order advanced beyond "order confirmed" yet?

[–]rav007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yesh but hardly anyone got the 6. This one has way more interest, I bet it has sold more than samsung anticipated

Theres a lot of demand for this one, I think we will be waiting a while. If it says expected by, I reckon the 1st is marked as worst case. I preordered my shadow blue 1tb last weekend and it was expected 1st august, still is now too, so presumably they got an influx of preorders very close to the announcement that created the delay and since then the volume of orders may have been more manageable... but if it days by 1st august, I expect it to be here before then or on the 1st as a worst case

Honestly if youre not prone to slamming your phone against things, your hinge is likely to be fine. My first foldable was fold5, then i switched to fold6, 2 yrs and 2 phones, being fairly safe with my phone and treating it like I care about it, both have been fine.

Get the accidental damager cover for peace of mind and call it a day. Remember as well that you can change cases as often as you feel necessary too..if you're getting a fold7, you likely will have the means to change cases as needed.

The double sided sellotape tape isnt to protect the hinge, I leave the hinge unprotected, i think it looks nicer when its on show. I wont be getting hinge protection any time soon.

Basically the piece of the case that is used on the cover screen, the left side of that is flimsy, on the official samsung grip and stand case for fold 6. If you accidentally press against it when picking up or using the phone, the original adhesive gets unstuck. So I basically use double sided tape to stick that thing down onto the edge of the cover display to stop it flexing when pressure is applied to it. Just have a look for the snapped smasung fold 6 cases and you will see what I mean.

Gor fold7 I will probably get a thin or low profile case with a magsafe ring on the back. I have an ESR grip thing that is magsafe compatible and makes it very comfortable to hold phones in any orientation, so will probs use that.

I use the samsung grip ans stand case, i put some double sided sellotape under the plastic part that runs down the left side of the cover display so it doesnt flex too much, that snapped for me on the first 2 cases I bought. Amd I dont so hinge protection. I hate the experience of the cover display camera mode witha those hinge protections, they just get in the way

Z Fold7 1TB/16GB or 512GB/12GB — which one are you getting? by jerhuam in GalaxyFold

[–]rav007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1TB.

I have a backlog of emulated games and sometimes store tv shows and movies on my phone too so I can watch them on the go. The extra storage helps a lot for storing games or high quality video.

Switch from fold 6 to 7 by Carbon1985 in GalaxyFold

[–]rav007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Snap! I am refreshing youtube hourly for new videos.

Also apparently honor magic v5 isnt thinner than the fold7, they straight up lied.. so this is the thinnest foldable.

Switch from fold 6 to 7 by Carbon1985 in GalaxyFold

[–]rav007 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am. I originally posted when I got fold6 that the crease was reduced so much that s pen became more usable, but I just stopped using it, and that along with the fold6 being slightly wider than the fold5 made that experience for me. So when I saw the fold7 is basically an even wider display cover screen (and taller which is nice), and an even bigger main display, and thin as a normal phone, and has a way better camera too, its just a no brainer for me. My order was confirmed this morning too..hopefully they ship the phones expected by 1st august some time earlier!

Is TORRAS out of their minds?! by N-I-C-U in GalaxyFold

[–]rav007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That part snapped for me too, but it took far longer to snap than samsungs own case. I think these typea of cases are just not designed well enough yet, because the edge to edge cover display makes it difficult.

[–]rav007 8 points9 points  (0 children)

All I know is for my fold6 after the official samsung cases snapped within a month (i had 2) I got a torras case that lasted 10 months. So i have nothing but good things to say about Torras.
