Best Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 cases – CNET [CNET]

When CNET’s Patrick Holland reviewed Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 3, he called it “The first foldable you may actually want to buy.” And if the initial sales reports are any indication, a lot of people are actually buying the Galaxy Z Flip 3 and it may just be the first foldable to qualify as a mainstream phone. With that in mind, I’ve put together a list of the best cases for it. 

Unlike the best case list for Apple’s iPhone 13 or even the Galaxy S21, the number of companies making cases for the Galaxy Z Flip 3 is relatively small so there’s less to choose from. But sometimes less choice is better.

I tried almost all the cases on this list with my own Galaxy Z Flip 3. Some are more protective than others, but most are more interesting than the cases that go on your typical candybar-style phone (one that doesn’t fold). Galaxy Z Flip 3 cases are typically made of two pieces — sometimes they’re joined together, sometimes they’re not. 

I’ll be updating this list as I try out more cases.
