Nope, I'm afraid it doesn't.

I bought the capdase soft jacket from ebay, it only cost ten euros. I think mobilefun.co.uk have it for a slightly higher price but their site seems to be down so cant link you to it
The case is great, comes with a screen ptrotector and it fits really well and does not bulk up the phone too much. The only bad points is that their is no cut outs for the side buttons so they can be hard to press. Also, it has a aerial cut out on the top left for the korean version but this is no big deal.
Its a great case for the price
Less than a tenner delivered here
so why dont you try amazon? otterbox seemed to come with sp.
What's a god cheap case for this tablet? I've seen some on amazon for about $20 but don't know if there's anything better for around the same price. I'm looking for a case and not a cover.
Look at the Pyroskin cases. http://www.pyroskins.com
Task has done reviews on a couple of them in this section. Picked up the Clip case last night (waiting on delivery), but from what I hear it's a great case at that price range.
thanks I'll look into it
It can be more expensive... but believe is very nice.
I have one of this:

Probably it isn't good for who want use the samsung acessories!
Just got the 360 case from pyroskins its a well made case that doesnt add much bulk. allows the tab to stand in portrait or landscape.. highly recommend it

Your tablet get extra protection for scuffs and any damage aroud it!

BLUREX Leather Folio Case w/Stand
leather folio case with a stand to top it off. pretty basic case from a kind of cheap brand, but for $4 plus no tax and free shipping (considering you got a month of prime with your KF), it's steal deal. it was out of stock Wednesday but came back Thursday, so it'll be back in stock this week. I ordered one yesterday, it'll be here monday

Both of these cases seem like good deals.

i wasted 29 $ on another case i didnt know there are cheap and nice ones like this
That Blurex case was unavailable - I just ordered this one for $9.99 w/free Prime shipping,

This one looks pretty good, I like that it doesn't have a border all the way around like a lot of the others. They make it hard to access the menu button.

Oh, nice find! This one looks a bit better than a few others I've found like the Acase. Any thoughts on it yet?

WOW these are cheap as....
One-handed use?
Can anyone who has received and started using their Blurex case please let me know how this case works one-handed? I can't tell if the cover will fold all the way over flat or not and it seems as if the clasp piece may make it awkward to hold on the left hand side. Any pictures of it fully opened would be a huge help!
Thanks in advance!

,I have the vipertek case, same exact case different name. It lays back flat when open. The clasp sticks out but imho it helps your hand steady it easier when using one handed, either hand feels good different ways of holding but comfortable. Don't have camera or would get a picture.
Guys, you can buy TPU cases for the HTC One X for less than $3 from Dealextreme. They look like the same ones sold on Amazon at a much higher price.. check em out. Go to dealextreme and search for HTC One X...
I bought a screen protector and a case from there.... waiting for arive
Tell some pictures for us when they arrive...
I recommed the Rock, got it myself and I'm very happy with it. Payed almost three times the price DX wants for it. Still happy.
only con is that dealextreme delivery takes weeks!
i placed an order a few weeks ago with DX, 3 or 4 cases and a in-car holder
will upload pics when they arrive
I'm a long time DealExtreme customer, but I've realized eBay is actually a bit cheaper, and they have a much larger selection, though it takes a long time to sort through all the duplicates.
I got these 2 cases: http://www.ebay.com/itm/300732438796 and http://www.ebay.com/itm/180981934253.
DX has both of them as well but they didn't have the gray one that is IMO nicer than the black because it's transparent.
I'm using the first one right now because it looks better, but the second one has a nice anti-slip texture on the sides that I like, so I can't decide which one I like better.
Indeed, Ebay is cheaper and the service i good :victory:
thanks so much! you saved me from wasting ten bucks on amazon.

Thought I would start a new 'case thread' for the Z Fold 2, as the current one in this forum is very US orientated and the cases discussed there - are simply not available in the UK right now.
I will kick this off though with a high level of frustration, that this is the hardest phone to get a bloody case for! Especially given that it's one of the most fragile. Sure you can pay £80 for a flimsy bit of leather that only protects the back of the phone from Samsung. That's just a crazy price and poor value for money. But as far as I know that's the only case available to buy today (28th September).
I ordered the following Araree Bonnet leather Case from MobileFun 3 weeks ago and it's still out of stock for at least another 3 weeks:
https://www.mobilefun.co.uk/araree-bonnet-samsung-galaxy-z-fold-2-5g-wallet-stand-case-black-82183
There are no other cases available from them, they are all out of stock. Same with Amazon, where you are going to be waiting for several weeks before items are in stock. I really don't understand why, I have never had this issue with a new phone before, there were cases available for the Note 20 Ultra 2 weeks prior to the release date.
Yeah the case situation is pathetic. Just using the official leather at the moment as its better than nothing.

I think Samsung are charging way too much for the leather one, I bet they deliberately priced it so high because the people likely to buy this phone have a bit more cash to splash. Or that they know the cases are in short supply.
I bought the official leather case for my Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. It's twice the size of the Fold 2 case but cost considerably less, £30 (with a discount) and even that was too much in my opinion. I really need one that protects the cover screen, hence the reason I went for the Araree case.

Don't all flame me for this post... but I bought the cheap (China) faux leather hard case on ebay for £5 gbp and its actually perfectly fine. Its also available as UK stock for about £9 with quicker delivery
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UK-STOCK...var=661853030175&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
The rear cover fully protects the camera bump and sides.
The front cover protects the edges of front screen and sides (but does make swiping down from top of screen gesture a bit hit and miss for my big fingers)

Its cheap but it does the job. I bought black to match my mystic black fold2
(My fold2 is my only device so I cannot take a pic of the device with case fitted sorry)

Good to know about this.
The one you bought is not the same one I was looking at but similar:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/392948709396
It's cheap but it's better than nothing, I just ordered it now, because I really need something to protect this phone until something more premium comes along.
So thanks for sharing the link, I will update here when I receive the one I just bought!

So I ordered a cheap case off eBay whilst I wait several weeks for a much better one. Supposed to arrive this week. Of course on eBay, "UK STOCK" posted by Royal Mail that takes over a week to arrive means only one thing of course... they are being sent from China. Which I mostly expected when I ordered but took a chance that maybe someone was being honest. No wonder people claim item hasn't arrived and get their money back and still get to keep the item.
I am getting desperate for ANY kind of case for this phone, but the only one available from Samsung is the leather one (£80) or pay £150 upwards from a shark on eBay who clearly only snapped up a whole load of decent cases to add 200% mark up profit, adding over £100 to a £50 case. Crooks.
So no cases available in the UK at a non inflated price. I checked all the usual online outlets and all citing 'expected' stock in 3-4 weeks. What a frustrating crazy situation, for such a premium and arguably delicate phone, why on earth is there such a shortage here?

Update: One of the cases arrived today, just a hard clear back cover:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/For-Sams...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
It fits perfectly and will protect the back glass at least. It seems good quality for the £3 I paid, but like all these kind of cases , it adds weight to the phone on one side. Still it's better than nothing!

The £5.99 cases on eBay UK are pretty good and protect.botg the front and back ... I bought the black one which is exactly the same as the Spigen Thin-Fit case but without the brand name and for a fraction of the price
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/For-Sams...504442?hash=item48ed93623a:g:SqUAAOSwy0VfZHXS
I am starting to think Samsung, Spigen and others are taking Z fold2 owners for mugs with over inflated pricing on cases...

Yeah, you're absolutely right, the premium cases for this (very expensive) phone, are almost impossible to source, and when you eventually find one they are over-inflated prices. Trouble is sellers know that desperate consumers (who possibly have more cash than your average consumer) will eventually part with their money to protect such a valuable phone. But I am not falling for that. I have had an order for the Araree Bonnet leather case with MobileFun for over a month now and it's still showing at least a further month for stock to arrive. It's a quality leather cover case and is only costing me £35. In the meantime I am just keeping it in a neoprene pouch. The snakes on eBay buying these up and selling them for £180 - I hope someone screws them over at some point.
Anyway thanks for the link to the one you bought. The bezel on the front cover looks very thick though. Is that a bit awkward to use? I ordered a similar cheap Chinese one off eBay just to tide me over.

The only problems are swiping from the edge gestures (eg open side-bar swipe from right or notifications bar swipe down from top) which are difficult and a bit of trial and error at times. I am old school and use the 3 button navigation so not sure if gesture navigation is affected or not.
All things considered tho I prefer to use this (inexpensive) Chinese made case to protect my expensive new phone until such time as mid priced (£20 max) cases from popular brand names are widely available and are actually in stock.
P.S. for the first few days I before my case arrived i used a "sock" or "sleeve" repurposed with the fabric mesh bag that came free with my Anker 10,000mAh portable battery. Better than nothing.

I bought the same one but had to stop using after a few hours, found swiping up and down was more miss than hit.
I've got the VRS Hard Drop active on order, for the time being i'm just carrying it in a 'ShockSock' which to be fair does the job well
where did u order it from

I've already chipped my hinge due to lack of protection the back leather on its own isn't enough

Direct from the VRS website, I got a 15% off code (SMILEAGAIN30) when I went on the site, I think it was $53 dollars all in for the case and postage. The discount basically gave me near free postage.
I went for the black version, shipping at the end of the month apparently...so ShockSock it is till that arrives
I just received one of the Chinese two piece black plastic ones that were shown in this thread. The frame for the front part is very stiff and while this means it will stay put, the amount of force needed to put it on has scared me from doing so. I don't want to scratch my phone putting a case onto it! Or am I worrying unnecessarily? I much prefer the softer gel ones.

I think you may be worrying unnecessarily about the front cover I have had the Chinese case on my fold2 for 3 weeks now and no marks visible (I only removed it to check after reading your post ). Also I left the factory fitted front screen protector on the glass so I guess i have the additional scratch protection provided by the film cover.
I'm not in the UK, but the Netherlands.
I'm currently using the Shocksock I had for the original Fold, now on the Fold 2. It doesn't fit as well as on the original, but it's OK.
I bought a Fitbag from Germany, but those things are precision-made, and even with Samsung's very thin leather back cover on the phone, the whole thing becomes too fat for the sleeve.
The VRS case looks nice. Has anyone received theirs yet?
Another nice-looking one is the Spigen thin case.
There's rarely a source for any of these cases in the Netherlands, so ordering from the US is expensive and is often fraught with extra charges at the door.
