Phones Folding phones the next frontier

I have a sticker that I used underneath the MagSafe ring adapter… so, the skin is not necessarily molded on, like the example I showed off. But here it is below… don’t care to use the other parts of the skin, just the back.

And I do recommend going with SlickWraps… if anyone does decide to use a skin because they give you an additional one which is the full cover.

I still don't get how the skin aligns perfectly with the edges while still covering the speed bump ring. But it's real and it's spectacular.

Yeah, I like the setup! I did apply some heat to it so can form better around the edges, feels much better on the back having a skin on it... since it's textured.

Nice setup you did a good job there my friend

Does it give much more grip than a case like the skinny carbon fibre ones?

I didn’t apply the entire skin on the Fold… so I can’t answer that with confidence, but I think the texture feel could give a similar grip to those thin carbon fiber cases. SlickWraps even have Carbon Series skins as well… which I considered getting a white one, but I wanted something that could match the frame on the Fold.

I did a dbrand skin on my Z Fold 7 with the circuit pattern on it. It gave it a nice texture on the back for grippiness. Just depends on the skin. But I didn't do the rails because I knew I was going to f it up.

I did one previous phone full phone and it was a pain to get perfectly fitted, definitely gave it great grip and only some skins help with grip as others are slippery too haha

Yeah, it looks good. However, I'd be afraid that I'm going to drop it and mess it up. I need a case. Good luck to you, though.

To each their own. I understand, it’s not for everyone but I like the feel of it without the case… plan on getting some insurance in case something ever happens to it. Plus I’m pretty careful with my devices… but I accidents can occur randomly.

And I’ve had drops… hasn’t resulted in any major damage, never had to take to Samsung to get it fixed just some dings here and there. Nothing to the point where my world has ended lol.

This is great for competitors. Apple for eg. will sit back & see what sells well & jump on in a couple of years.

Samsung doing the trials for everyone else.
