The best thin Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 case: Spigen Air Skin
Spigen offers its Air Skin case exclusively for foldable models, and it’s a great way to add protection with almost no bulk. You’re only limited to a black finish for the time being, but the small lip around the displays and camera should offer some peace of mind. The case is crafted from polycarbonate, and it’s thin enough for seamless wireless charging and PowerShare. It consists of two pieces, so you can always mix and match your halves if new colors launch.

The best clear Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 case: Spigen Ultra Hybrid
Spigen’s Ultra Hybrid is one of our favorite cases for just about any device, and now it’s come to the realm of foldable. It offers classic hybrid protection with a blend of polycarbonate and TPU to handle drops and scratches. Like the other Spigen cases, you’ll find a small lip around the camera and displays to add a little more security.

- Ringke Slim: If you want a clear case that’s nearly paper-thin, check out the Ringke Slim. It’s just 1.5mm thick, and it’s almost completely free of branding. Ringke chose polycarbonate for its case, which is great against scratches.
- Otterbox Symmetry Flex: The Symmetry Flex offers everything you like about an Otterbox, but it’s clear so you can show off Samsung’s careful design. Best of all, the Symmetry Flex is Drop Plus tested beyond MIL-STD 810G when closed.
The best rugged Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 case: Otterbox Thin Flex
If you need the toughest case around, Otterbox is the way to go. While you may not get quite as much security due to the two-piece design, the Thin Flex should be more than enough for daily wear and tear. It’s Drop Plus tested, which means that Otterbox pushed it to double the MIL-STD 810G requirements. You can go for the classic black finish or spice things up with Fuschia Party, which is bright pink.
