The best thin Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 case: Spigen Air Skin
Spigen only offers its Air Skin case for foldable models, and it’s a great way to add protection with almost no bulk. You’re limited to just a black finish for now, but the little lip around the displays and camera should provide some calm. The case is made of polycarbonate and is thin enough for seamless wireless charging and PowerShare. It is made in two parts so you can always combine your halves when new colors hit the market.

The best see-through Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 case: Spigen Ultra Hybrid
Spigen’s Ultra Hybrid is one of our favorite cases for almost any device, and now it’s gotten into the foldability realm. It offers classic hybrid protection with a mixture of polycarbonate and TPU against drops and scratches. As with the other Spigen cases, you’ll find a small lip around the camera and displays to provide a little extra security. The Ultra Hybrid skips button covers, but supports wireless charging and PowerShare.
Other options you might like
- Ringke Slim: If you want a see-through case that is almost paper-thin, take a look at the Ringke Slim. It’s only 1.5mm thick and almost completely branding-free. Ringke chose polycarbonate for its case, which is excellent against scratches.
- Otterbox Symmetry Flex: The Symmetry Flex has everything you like about an Otterbox, but it’s clear so you can show off Samsung’s meticulous design. Best of all, the Symmetry Flex has tested Drop Plus beyond MIL-STD 810G when closed.
The best tough Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 case: Otterbox Thin Flex
When you need the toughest case, Otterbox is the way to go. While you might not get quite as much security due to the two-piece design, the Thin Flex should be more than adequate for everyday use. It’s Drop Plus tested, which means Otterbox has doubled the MIL-STD 810G requirements. You can opt for the classic black finish or spice things up with Fuschia Party in bright pink.

As usual, the Neo Hybrid S comes in black, but the exposed buttons retain most of the original Samsung experience. Most importantly, the Neo Hybrid S is thin enough to handle wireless charging and PowerShare, and is ready for Samsung’s new S Pen integration.
