If you have a fancy new foldable phone like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 or Apple iPhone Duo, maybe even an older model from Samsung, Motorola or another brand, you'll want to protect it.
Foldable phone cases generally cover the back and sides, up to the front perimeter to help prevent breaks, shock, scratches and scuffs.
Samsung's Carbon Standing Case for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 focuses on the inclusion of an anti-reflective film and built-in kickstand, designed for convenience first and protection second.
The Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro case for the Galaxy Z Fold 6, for example, has a built-in tempered glass screen protector and hinge protection that doubles as a S Pen holder.
Your best bet is to both protect your foldable phone with a case and give it a quick wipe-down before you close it every time.

If you have a fancy new foldable phone like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 or Apple iPhone Duo, maybe even an older model from Samsung, Motorola or another brand, you'll want to protect it. The first accessory you should buy for any phone, foldable or not, is a protective case.
Given how expensive these phones are, however, it's even more crucial to protect your investment.
Foldable phone cases generally cover the back and sides, up to the front perimeter to help prevent breaks, shock, scratches and scuffs. Because foldables are like two phones in one that come together at a hinge, these cases typically come in two parts.
Samsung's Carbon Standing Case for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 focuses on the inclusion of an anti-reflective film and built-in kickstand, designed for convenience first and protection second. There are models from brands like Casetify that focus on durability, like the upcoming Casetify iPhone Duo case, which claims to include technology that disperses energy from drops and specialized Duo-Lock hinge protection. The company already offers a Galaxy Z Fold 8 case line with similar hinge protection, but it adds some heft as a trade-off.
The Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro case for the Galaxy Z Fold 6, for example, has a built-in tempered glass screen protector and hinge protection that doubles as a S Pen holder.
No foldable phone case offers protection against dust getting trapped in the folded screen or in the hinge.
Your best bet is to both protect your foldable phone with a case and give it a quick wipe-down before you close it every time.
