Dbrand skin. Wanted to keep the phone as light and slim as possible and give it just a bit of texture to make it less slippery.
Got a tip for us?

I have my Thinborne case coming today which should keep it slim and keep both cases for switching depending activities.
Transferring from iOS to Android is a pain! It's literally taking me a whole day to set up the Fold, and a lot of issues seems to be happening on the iOS side. Trying to copy PDF files from the iPhone to a Mac is terrible, you can't just drag and move them to the computer. You would need to first download it to iCloud where I don't have enough space. Then download each files individually then delete them and then delete them on the iPhone then sync again because I don't want to pay for a sub. Why can't they just make Image Capture work with all files and not just photos/videos? While dragging from the Mac to Fold 7 is just simple copy and paste.
Still could not get it to work to display icons on the cover screen while locked, see photo. And yes…I may have gotten a Fold 7 in the meantime. Don’t judge me 😂 . One is going back to Samsung.
Just a 4K loop battery test but still good results, especially considering they used the inner display:
"...we loop a 4K video at 50% brightness. Imagine my surprise when the Z Fold 7’s unfolded 8-inch screen turned in a time of 21 hours and 23 minutes, which is a lot for such a thin phone, and enough to practically guarantee a spot among the best smartphones.
That’s enough playback time to put the Z Fold 7 over every single iPhone 16 model by at least 43 minutes. It also outlasted the Z Fold 6 and Pixel 9 Pro Fold, though those were running on a similar but previous version of the battery test."

I don't think so because when folded the phone is thicker so when grabbing out of my pocket my fingers don't touch the camera lenses.All good, man...
Out of curiosity, does the Flip series have a higher likelihood of getting your fingerprints on the front cover cameras as it goes in/out of pockets?
Love this case, shipping times are mid-August it seems as of today. I ordered a cheap magsafe case from Amazon that looks decent, if it doesn't pan out I'm definitely ordering this one.
Side note- is it possible to have more than 5 icons on the dock on the outer screen? It's strange, I don't see the additional option within Goodlock / Home Up like I do on the Flip and S25U to add more favorite icons to the dock?
Cheap magsafe way go till you get the case, I know we can up the grid size but don't see anything for more on dock
It won't let me do entire folders, and it moves the pdfs around when I open them with preview instead of Adobe. I had to do this for thousands of signed pdfs.
I like them a lot. If the wait time isn't too long I might order one.
I just unboxed it and slapped it on the phone, excellent I know this will be the only case I use till next foldable. Let me know if you need a coupon code as I believe there's one floating around but still available for 30% off, also I missed out on the free case but he was reimbursing people in exchange for honest reviews on the forums and any social medias. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1oQ...4sx0/viewform?pli=1&pli=1&edit_requested=true

I will do that, thanks. I like the idea of a thin case to follow the slim form factor of the phone.I just unboxed it and slapped it on the phone, excellent I know this will be the only case I use till next foldable.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

I have that exact same one. I do like it. And it actually doesn't feel too thick. It definitely comes in handy if you need some strong protection.
That's good to hear. I'm a big fan of urban armor gear but they only offer one Fold 7 case and I'm not sold on it.
Yeah I also have the clear grip case from Samsung coming tomorrow. I probably will keep this Supcase just for times where I go to the beach.
I have had a Samsung case on my Fold 5 since I got it but I'm not as impressed with their offerings for the 7 plus I want magsafe charging on this one.
