Speck solely makes one case for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 and it is a good one. The Presidio Excellent-Clear Fold is rated for 13-foot drop safety, and it is probably the most protecting clear case I attempted, though there isn’t any hinge safety. Grip this Flip cowl, and take a look at it out.
I preferred Samsung’s Silicone Cowl with Ring. It is protecting, it has a pleasant soft-to-touch end and there is that inbuilt ring that helps forestall you from dropping the cellphone — and you may also clip the ring to a lanyard and put on the cellphone round your neck. Alas, whereas I might type of prop the cellphone up utilizing the ring on sure surfaces, I’d have preferred the case much more if it transformed right into a kickstand.
The case is available in a number of colours.
Gear4’s Bridgetown case shares some similarities with Spigen’s Powerful Armor case (see beneath). It, too, is a tricky case that solely is available in black and has some good hinge safety.

It is also obtainable in inexperienced and black. The largest knock towards it’s that it is costly, however you may sometimes discover it on sale for round $40.

You slide your hand underneath the strap (and behind the cellphone), which lets you get a grip and maintain on to your cellphone with out actually wrapping your fingers round it. It is primarily a safety strap. The strap additionally presents a bit little bit of safety for the hinge once you fold up the cellphone. Moreover, you may connect the top of the strap to a lanyard or clip it to a different strap (say, on a bag or backpack).
Apart from having some utility, the strap additionally appears designed to carry some consideration to your cellphone. For higher or worse, it does simply that, so when you use this case, plan on having folks ask you about your cellphone. It is available in a number of colours.
