One of the most unusual and ground-braking devices in recent years, the Galaxy Fold from Samsung represents a pioneering choice for the would-be owner and as such finding a phone case for such a unique device can be extremely challenging. That’s why we’ve put together a round-up of our favourite cases for the Samsung Galaxy Fold from brands such as Spigen, UAG, Noreve and even official Samsung.

1.  Official Samsung Genuine Leather Cover Case

Always a popular option, official cases represent a fine choice for dual screen adopters as you can be assured of an accurate fit as well as a truly premium finish. Featuring full coverage and a luxurious leather exterior, this official cover provides solid protection against general use, while also improving the overall in-hand feel.

3.  Noreve Premium Leather Cover Case

Another genuine leather option, this time around from Noreve, this case offers exquisite craftsmanship with the ultimate peace of mind thanks to magnetic clasp, keeping your case securely closed when not in use. While this may seem trivial at first, the ability to ensure that your phone is covered and won’t swing open can be an extremely good thing when you consider the cost of the device.

4.  UAG Monarch Protective Case

Without a doubt the most protective cases available for the Galaxy Fold, the UAG Monarch is a must have for anyone working in more extreme conditions and/or whom just want that added security when using one of the most expensive and vulnerable devices created. The robust built and UAG’s industry leading drop proof technology make this a must have for those wanting rugged protection. Yes it will increase the thickness of your device, but that’s a small price to pay for the protection it will bring.

5.  Spigen Thin Fit Shell Case

Back to Spigen, but this time with an extremely slim case in black, the Thin Fit really does what it says on the tin and that’s to provide contour hugging protection that won’t detract from the design and feel of the Samsung Galaxy Fold. While not the most protective option within this line-up, it does still provide full coverage, albeit in a sleek package. Ideal for those everyday office users who want protection, but don’t need to go to the lengths seen with the UAG Monarch.
