VRS DESIGN Hard Drop Phone Case for Galaxy Z Fold 3, Sturdy Case Compatible with Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G (2021)

Before I purchased this case for my $1800 phone, I looked everywhere and at all available options. I even tried the case that was made by Samsung but it became clear really fast that it wasn't what I was looking for, which was protection for my phone. This case, really did meet my expectations as it has kept my phone safe from a few minor drops. It's no otterbox, but given otterbox hasn't designed a case for this phone yet, it's the best option. I read the reviews on here before buying and some people are just ridiculous with claims that it doesn't fit perfectly or they should have done this or that....I almost didn't buy this case bc of them buy I'm glad I went with my gut instinct and purchased it anyway bc the case fits just fine. I did not use the double sided tape or adhesive, I simply put the case on my phone and it holds together just fine, never had an issue. I would most definitely buy this case again if I had to for whatever reason. For reference, I have had this case on my phone for approx. 4 or 5 months now.

I'm hard on my phones. I bought this case because it provided protection for the exterior and interior screen, as well as the camera. The lips around all of those are fantastic. And it's worked. I've dropped my phone multiple times and the front case cracked a little- not my phone. I wish it had a hinge cover and a camera cover, and those are the only reasons I'm not buying this exact same model to replace my current case. But I am buying another VRS with the hinge cover.If you're worried about your phone surviving a drop, this case is for you.

I bought this case along with the kickstand pro for my z fold 3. Now, these cases are really good cases for the money. But the major flaw is the materials. They feel cheap, which makes the phone feel cheap, but honestly I think that's a good thing. Since these Cases are relatively cheap, you don't feel like you have to have to be dainty with the phone. They feel good in the hands, and provide a decent ammount of protection. Another problem is the tape, I havent noticed any sliding with the tape on, im very active with my job and my phone is usually in my pocket and no noticeable damage due to the case. The problem with these phones is its still a new technology, a lot of companies haven't figured out how to make a case fold with the phone. I would like to see a case like this or the kickstand pro have what Speck uses in their presidio case with a little piece of rubber connecting the two halves together. The case was super stable, never slid, and was the best case I've used outside of these two. Also work on the materials side of it, I dont like the cheap feel.

Pros:-Generous bezel around the front screen, but it does not interfere with typing. I have pretty thick and uncoordinated fingers.-with the phone open, it sits flat with the bezel protecting the camera-easy to open the phone with this case-seems sturdy-stays on the phone without using the adhesives. It does not seem to slide off at all even when keeping it in pocket or opening the device.-does not interfere unreasonably with any side buttons.-does not make the phone unreasonable thick.Cons:-if you look at it from the spine side, it seems to bloom out on the top and bottom instead of fitting snug, which is a little concerning. However, it does not seem to make a difference at all in the firmness of the fit, just looks weird.-nothing covering the spine of the phone, which honestly is a tall order for any case right now, and the current options suck.-the little pads on the bottom do NOT grip at all on any surface, and those were a big plus for me. They are not in the way of getting it in your pocket though. Seems like they would be fine if they were a different material.-After a few days of use, the thin bezel part on the left side of the front moves inward a little from use because it is not as solid/firm as it should be. This means that reading on some apps like tumblr or a web browser is impossible without shoving it back over. This is super annoying and because of this I know I need to buy a better case as soon as someone makes one.One more thing that I will not call a con because it is a result of how tightly the case fits and I like that;This case wants to tear your screen protector up at the corners while you are installing the case. It wants to so bad that it is thinking about it the entire time it is in the mail, and as soon as it gets near the corners of your phone it will be peeling up the corners of your screen protector. If you are not really careful to try to install the case by shoving it downwards on top of the phone and avoid sliding, it is going to be a minor hassle. I think it is worth it though to not have to use adhesive.

I didn't know what I was getting into with the folding phone. I didn't know finding a case would be a bitch. This is the second case I've put in it. The first was another maker and this one seems a lot sturdier. I ride with this on my motorcycle and it works fine. I've dropped my phone multiple times and no external damage. This case is pricey, but we are carrying around a $2000.00 phone, so...Works well, fits well, I like the style.

one thing is that you have to add the adhesive or else it'll fall out

After a few months of use, the design itself is alright (no spine protection, but one knows that going in), except for the front half not staying stuck to the phone. It slides out along the device, and the end result is scratches on my front screen, due to any particulate that was lob the screen at the time.Additionally, the shell of the front half is too tall for my fingers to type on the edges of the keyboard.So to sum up, the case design has actually negatively impacted the effectiveness and resale value of my phone. Cannot consider any of it a successful design, given that.

This thing turned your nice phone into a brick And for me touch screen features are almost impossible to use The front panel traps dirt and the rear panel slips off
