They must have put the price up due to demand because even the cheapest cover of those, the purple, is £2.28 inc postage. Not exactly a king's ransom I admit.
There's a ton of these generic cases out there on Amazon and eBay, I'll get one simply because there isn't much else around unless you want the the flip cover shell or some sort of pouch. Hopefully, since the phone is already selling well globally and demand is high, better cases will come along in the New Year.
I am hoping for a Chinese knockoff flipshell (ideally also adding credit card pouches on the cover). I wont pay 30EUR for the original one (which is not actually shipping, either)
A Question
Well i wonder will these work with the flip cases or not?
I cant test it cuz moto g is not available in my country yet
I have an s-line tpu case in blue for my Moto G. I mainly got it to prevent the screen from smashing if i dropped it face down accidentally. My main concern is that it causes the phone to get warm (i think). Do you think this could happen or is it just my imagination?
I bought this from baas...but screen protector is not good...doesnt stick to the edges... gel case was ok....

Downloading 400MB of map data for OSMAND via wifi did cause mine to get a little warm. That was with no case, but I don't think it's anything to worry about. The TPU is only a millimetre or so thick across the back.
I bought this one from Ebay, and it's a nice snug fit. No screen protectors or stylus, but I don't consider them of any value anyway!

Hey, i bought an aftermarket flip cover from ebay. The opening circle, doesn't have a glass but i am fine with it, since i have a glass protector on.
The issue is, when i flip it all the way so i can hold it, the magnet sensor activates and puts the phone to whatever it is, when the cover is closed.
Any issues with the official flip cases?
And i hope someone creates a stock rom for this, because the battery even on standby, sucks.
Cheers!
I bought a knock-off case from a local store that states it's for the ZE551ML - Goospery WOW Series Flip Case cover.
No issues for me when flipping the case all the way back, but the magnet inside the flip is definitely misaligned. The smartview/Asus Cover only works if I hold the flip-cover down and to the left. Does yours work correctly when closed? I can't speak to the functionality of the official case or other knockoffs, but I'm curious. There are so many on eBay that are cheaper than what I paid locally, but I'm wondering if they also have magnet issues.
Been using the Asus case for a couple of days I never had an issue

I bought the same case now with new update misalinged magnet is creating automatic wakeup. Adding extra magnet helps bt wont it cause any harm
I also had random wake ups and that affected my battery.
And yes all the functions worked correctly.
I want to know the effect of extra magnet .?? Do they harm the device?
Can you please tell me where your magnets are located? I asked a question in the QA forum about my aftermarket case not triggering the screen.

It is in left side near the back button
Thanks. That's where my magnet is. I will try a stronger one.
since I'm using the word best, i must start off by saying it is always subjective.
http://m.araree.com/product/araree®-mustang-diary-for-galaxy-s10/291/?cate_no=174&display_group=1
why do i say it's the best?
-low profile, probably the only wallet case that is this low profile aside from nodus access case iii
-usable bill pocket, enough to put small notes considering the size of phone
-slots for cards, i understand some wallet case only provides 1 slot
-synthetic leather, low maintenance, dry and soft, not tacky
-suede finish inside, feels good
-hard shell, exposed buttons rather than enclosed. provides better flex or bend protection
-modifiable, why do i say so? since hard shell is slap on the interior case, it is definitely using adhesive. thankfully, i was able to peel the hard shell off and install a microsuction film. with the wider case, you should be fine with many slim case. currently I'm using the official clear case from samsung that is provided free.
-wireless chargeable, of course
-tactile buttons feel on the side of the case, easily identify where the buttons are, volume or bixby.
-different speaker hole design, on call? close the cover and u will still listen and talk fine.
-room for pressy or mswitch, if you are only tws earbuds person, you may consider getting additional buttons for your phone by utilizing the audio jack.
-made/designed in/from korea, not really a point but samsung from korea, definitely built best for it.
cons, maybe:
-no magnetic closure
how do you clean the microsuction film? use another adhesive tape.
do share your thoughts and the best wallet case you know if any.

It seems like having cards up against your phone screen is not very smart. Wish we had an old HTC style Ice View case would be awesome. Open the cover the screen comes on, close the cover the screen goes off. Plus see your notifications through the cover. But don't like my wallet mixed with my phone. I don't keep my phone in my back pocket and credit cards seem a little rough up against a $1,000 phone. Especially when we got Samsung and Google pay for that.
Also, edge squeeze would have been great. Missing that but that's another story.
In my honest opinion, all wallet cases are ??. I just don't want anything laying against my phone that's not a case or a screen protector. And I don't want to feel like I'm pulling a book out my pocket everytime I grab for it either. That's just MY opinion though.

no choice. in places where it requires certain card and cash, can't go without them.

quite expensive when import. can't find any better wallet case unless eyeing for brand. most importantly, a proper cash compartment and cards slot. other feature can be modified.

I bought this one today, its pretty cheap and the case is detachable from the wallet.

It says in the description the removable part is magnetized, for a magnet mount. I think it also snaps in the folio part with the magnet. I will update later when I receive it from Amazon.

consider modifying the case with microsuction instead. but it's up to you.
since samsung gear vr doesn't allow any case on the phone, it is only convenient to have a wallet case that detaches your phone easily.

I have used these in the past and I have one on order for my S10+ honestly forgot to order one until a couple days ago but I have used with every other phone I've had. Quality is top notch, fitment, use etc etc everything is wonderful. Kind of expensive but you get what you pay for!

My reasons for a wallet case is not for cards or cash. Just for screen/phone protection. Must be small enough to fit in my pockets, must have magnetic closure. seems most with magnets wont wirelessly charge correctly though.The Samsung LED case is a perfect fit, nice and slim. I could care less for the LED. It's not magnetic though so as soon as you fold cover back it wont stay closed. The front just springs open. You can leave it upside down overnight and that will help until next time you fold it, which is all day for me. Pull it out of my pocket and the front just springs open. If Whitestone Tempered glass weren't $60 and didnt crack once a week id use that and a regular case. They broke easy on my s8 and s9 too. Without dropping either in some cases, just mysteriously crack. I found a nice real leather folio case that seems to fit my needs perfectly. Magnetic, slim, firm and protects screen from scratches and i'm sure it will protect screen from drops better than any non otterbox or lifeproof case, unless it flys open on the way down and lands on the glass (My Samsung LED one did that, No magnet, Screen smashed) Which it shouldn't because it has a decent magnet. I have dropped phone once since getting this case and it stayed closed. Magnet works when folding the cover back as well, holds it to the back of the case nicely. Again i dont need it as a wallet, I prefer thin instead. This case smells like leather, beautiful smell. Slides in and out of pocket easy, it's not much bigger than a standard case.

So credit cards scraping against your phone screen is no big deal?

why would it scrape the phone? so far the screen protector that comes with the phone has held up well without any scratches.

My buddy has a wallet case and he cracked his screen. Of course he treats his wallet case like a real wallet and keeps all his cards and money in it. I'm sure he wasn't being very careful with it.
I liked the magnetic cover cases on curved screens just to protect the screen since screen protectors are a hassle on curved screens.
I finally took the plunge and bought the Galaxy Fold yesterday.
I am in Hong Kong and the phone just released on 22nd Nov 2019 and I wanted to try out the phone before buying it. The sad thing is that there are no stores in Hong Kong with a demo, except for Samsung's Experience store. So I had to find time to go there and give it a try. I did that on Saturday and gave it some thought until yesterday, when I finally bought one.
My major concern was the screen. Fearing that it is very fragile and could break easily. But after trying the phone, I realized that it is not all that risky. Samsung does give 1 year of screen replacement but my telecom service provider provided their own coverage for screen protection. The only thing is that i need to pay for the repair charge and then I can claim from the telecom company after. I can take advantage after using using Samsung's free screen coverage so in other words I get 2 chances to repair the screen within the year.
My other concern was price and if it is the right time now in November to buy the Galaxy Fold. Newer phones will be out in April 2020. However, when I received a special price offer for the standalone phone, I thought I will just get one to try.
My initial impressions are very good. It is very satisfying to us the phone as a tablet. The phone is really unique and different from all the phones I have tried so far. The speed feels just the same as the Galaxy S10+ and Note10+ obviously but coming from the Asus ROG Phone 2, I was worried that the phone will feel slower but it is not the case.
I spent time to install some apps and to copy my data from my previous phone last night. I didn't get to out the phone much last night but I am happy with my experience so far.
I got the original Samsung Leather Cover as well as I tried the phone at Samsung's store and found the free cover to be very thin. I don't think it will provide very good protection. My first plan was to get the SPG Clear Hybrid case but I feared it will turn yellowish in time like my previous SPG cases. So I got the leather cover instead. The Galaxy Fold feels very premium with the leather cover on. The leather will surely provide more protection compared to the free bundled case. I only wish the Leather cover was cheaper.
Now looking for a carrying pouch / Sleeve for the Galaxy Fold.
I have a question regarding the Samsung Galaxy Fold Covers.
I removed the plastic protection inside the cover before installing it. Is that a magnet inside the cover or is that some kind of sticky material which sticks to the phone's front and back?

It's just sticky glue to help it hold onto the phone. Glad you enjoy the phone. I had fears too until I bought it, now I can't use anything else. haha

I see because yesterday I noticed I didn’t apply it perfectly so I tried to remove it to adjust it a bit and it was a little difficult but later came off. That is why I was wondering.
It is okay to apply and remove the case and then re-apply again?

I had to remove mine several times to get to the sim tray and it's still fine. I'm sure it will last longer than the case will over time. It's just to secure it a little better to the phone. When it wears out I'll get a spigen or something.

Yes, but when using a $100 leather cover, we have to be cautious.

Sticky material. Uses the sticky stuff to better stay on the phone itself.
