I've ordered the 2nd and didn't get it yet but I'm afraid it will be crappy
I ordered one similar and tbh took it off after a day it made the phone look so ugly i have found some more exp ones for £15 which look good but tbh im sticking with my screen protector and thats it .
Yes, first one.
Fits perfect, its durable.
I always make sure i get the gel case not the silicone ones as they really attract the dirt/dust , and some say they have a special coating , "YEAH RIGHT"

yes..and for that price the s tpu case is miles better than those cases..
Hi, I bought blue TPU case.Fit ok,looks ok too,but there is problem with calling and sound quality.People told me,that they can hear them self ( echo ).Without case no problem.Strange don't you think?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I gave up, ordered Rearth case and screen protectors
Should have got one of these.

The textured sides give very nice grip. The description says silicon/gel, but I'm told by someone on this forum it's actually TPU. I can tell you it's nice and firm and feels very protective. Bought mine from a shop called chitterchatter for £5, where I also got my phone from too. Case is even cheaper on ebay. Here's pics I took of mine. Screen protector needs redoing, too many bubbles, lol.

I originally bought one of those silicone ones in the first post, it was quite loose on my phone and the surface kind of stuck to my jeans pocket making it annoying to take out, so I then bought one of the gel/tpu cases that looks identical to the one in the post above, which does a sterling job.

I bought this from ebay for £2.90 and am very pleased with it, collects a bit of dust at the bottom but a lift and gentle blow gets rid of that. Feels grippy and adds a nice bit of bulk to the phone aswell.
About six weeks ago, I bought 4 TPU cases very similar to those mentioned in the OP, for US $8.00. Fortuitously, they arrived on the same day I took delivery on the SGS2. They fit pretty well, although the long sides are a little loose, but not enough to be a danger of slipping off. On my case, the power & volume switches are covered by the case, which has button skins stamped into it. The back is textured with a diamond pattern, and the sides look slick but do have some grip.
Like most cases, it has the top right corner cut out to accommodate the antenna on the Korean version of the SGS2. The first few days I had the case, I noticed it attracted quite a bit of dust, but that appears to have subsided in the last few weeks. Overall, it's much better than I'd have expected a $2 case to be; I'd bought 4 figuring they'd be so crappy that only one of them would fit well, or they'd fail in short order and I'd have to upgrade to a CaseMate, PDAir, or Krusell.

I picked up one like that from Amazon. I sent it back today. It did not fit well and I hated that it would not slide in and out of my pocket easily. It also attracted lint from my pocket.
I prefer a hard case.
I have my eyes on a SGP Silke case.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SAMSUNG-GALAX...UK_Mobiles_Accessories_RL&hash=item3366acadbc
Just ordered the above case, initially had the same type from the same seller for my Atrix and it was a really good case.... Lets hope this is just as good
Yea, i bought 2. But you need them TPU one's and not those gel covers. Mine fits pretty wel and worth the 2 bucks.
I bought one S line TPU case, but I find it prety hard to press the buttons. overall it's a really nice case fits perfectly (hard to take off )
i decided to buy this aluminium one :
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SAMSUNG-GALAX..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item1c1c8cc497
It is really nice! although the silicone part attracts some dust, but not much, the mic holes are not perf cut, but no problems during calls etc.
Has anyone bought or tried this case? in looks very interesting as its so thin it may be comparable to buying something like the Bodyguardz skins without the hassle of sticking that stuff on.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1mm-Ultra...sesPouches&hash=item4165054cf6#ht_2462wt_1168
Got a few days ago, pretty good, very very thin but slippery. Did a quick video to show it in action.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KG2HBa-62Rc
i've got one. its about 0.5mm thick in some parts, so the only thing its good for is protecting the phone's body from scratches. it offers no drop protection, and no camera protection, and its not grippy either.
i prefer my ringke slim case and my anymode pebble jelly case, theyre grippy and dont add much bulk, and offer decent protection for the corners of the phone (if you drop your phone, its more likely to land on a corner) and it goes slightly over the edges of the screen, so if your phone does land face first, the glass is less likely to touch the ground, making it less likely to shatter.
Thanks Souai, I had the ringke for my galaxy s2 and i found that after a while it started stretching out and not fit the phone properly. The reason why im so keen on these ultra thin ones is more as an alternative is the skin shields. ill check out the pebble case though.
looks similar to the Case Mate Barely There.

$54 seems a a lot for a case, the 1mm is just $4 including delivery.
lol 5000 INR is not 54$ its more than 100$ to my knowledge and also that for a case is too much IMHO...
Anyway I would have bought one if it was sold from Amazon . Looks nice
Yeah, I hate ebay and their bloody fees, Ive ordered one though , it'll take a few weeks for it to arrive, ill report back then.

I ordered some from ebay (the seller sold them in pairs) - one was cracked from the start and unusable, and the other was slightly warped from being stuffed in the padded envelope. I found them to be not very grippy, and the cut-out for the m/usb was quite sharp, and being as I rest the Note on my little finger when I hold it one-handed, painful!
Hope you have better luck than I did - I just use the Note bare-back now!

Every time i buy a new phone get into a mad rush to buy cases for it, i use them for a week or two then ditch them because I prefer to use the phone bare, i'll probably do the same as you Towserspvm2000, but at below 3 quid a pop im not going to be losing out on much if it is crappy.
Just got this case from China. I like it. Simple and almost like it is bare. Only issue is the buttons are a little harder to push. But not a deal breaker. This is my third case. thinnest and the lightest. Not bad for $4US. Just got to make sure I don't drop it. More for scratch protection than anything.
hey guys, got the case and its pretty good but bloody slippery. Put up a youtube video to show it in action.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KG2HBa-62Rc
So I just ordered three cases from Amazon, a Spigen, ProCase, and an off-brand one that I've never heard of before. Once they arrive I'll take a bunch of pics and post up my feedback on these to help educate anyone interested in a case or skin! Was thinking about going with one of those Dragon Skins too, look awesome, but I'll probably wait for my cases to come first!
Let's see some of those bad ass Note 8's, and the respective outer-layer for which you chose..!!
I just got this case about a week ago. I was looking for something like an otterbox but didn't want to pay so much for one. This is as good, if not better, than the otterbox. The Encased Rebel I found on Amazon for about $15 after searching and searching for the right case. It's a three piece case. The sides of the case come up higher than most cases to protect the edge glass and it doesn't affect the functionality of the edge apps at all, even with the glass screen protector I have on it. I picked up a 4-pack of cheap "case-friendly" glass screen protectors on ebay and they work fine, even when using the stylus. I really want to try the Whitestone Dome screen protector, but after seeing videos on Youtube about it and case compatibility, I don't think this case would work with it. I like that the hole for the stylus is smaller, offering better drop protecction for that corner while still allowing easy removal of the stylus. The ONLY negative I have found with the case is that the buttons were hard to press at first but after a week of use they are breaking in and getting easier. I will stick with this case. Amazon also sold an option to get a holster with it for a couple bucks more but i didn't get it.
Toast makes a great real wood cover for Note 8.

Some decent case options are beginning to show up on eBay & Mobile Fun.
I've got 3 relatively inexpensive ones on the way from various eBayers, two clear & one a Matte Green, to match up with my phone color choice:

Anyway i like nillkin case too in red color :laugh:
I got this one from Amazon
http://a.co/azkOIIU
Fits really good and you can see pics I took in the reviews.
I reached out to Devilcase and asked if they were planning any Aluminum bumper cases for the XZ2.
In the first half of May 2018 they should be releasing one for the phone. Just incase anyone else likes those Aluminum bumper cases.
I Have also reached out to Luphie Cases but from them I didn't get any answer as of yet.
DBrand told me they won't be selling any XZ2 Skins.
I might add that I've been using the Style Touch cover for the XZ2 and will until the Devilcase one arrives in late May/June. I don't like the flappy window cover at all. The touch cover is too rigid when you've got the cover opened and I can't hold it comfortably in my hand whilst open. When its closed the cover is not straight on top of the screen and makes it hard for the screen to register touches on the left side of the screen.
Any advice for some shockproof case with display protection? Something like https://m.ebay.com/itm/For-Sony-Xpe...:m:mc31MQr_76OVK-2tnCk12aA&varId=413321369055 (but with display protection I have mentioned).

I ordered the black color. I have Nillkin superslim Nature transparent and Frosted at the moment.
I'm waiting Ringke ?
I recommend this one:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Tpu...197.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.b0c24c4dE7OOxJ
Nice fit, slim and well built.
I have this Nillkin transparent case and it's fine. I also ordered an IMAK case today. I had IMAK cases in the past the the grip is fantastic, it's like you touch a stone.
I have to say these two look kinda decent....

Edit:
So i just bought these two and found some others....
The Ringke one does look a little too bulky, IMHO.
This Nillkin one also looks kinda neat.
this case is awesome and my phone is well protected in case of drop
https://www.imak-hk.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=3397
I bought the transparent version which still shows the beautiful design and avoid sliding and scratches in the back.

Likewise I reached out to Devilcase and asked about a bumper case for the XZ2 compact, the first response was as you mention the second half of may. I waited and the bumpercase for the regular XZ2-model did show up and is available on their page. No sign of the XZ2-compact model however. So I once again reached out and after some back and forth it turns out the XZ2-compact is not available on their domestic market so they will not make the bumpercase available through them directly, it will only be available through their retailers. I am currently awaiting a response for which of their retailers will carry the XZ2-compact model, and will update with their response.

After much searching (I have not yet heard back from devilcase) I believe I have actually found the first batch of bumpercases for the XZ2 Compact (In one of my mails from Devilcase they eluded to that the first batch of cases were branded differently than they normally would be). It seems they went here:
As you can see they are branded DECASE, but it is in fact the Devilcase bumpers, as Croy Mobile is listed as one of their retailers on the Devilcase homepage. So it would seem that a bumpercase for the XZ2 Compact is available, but only in Japan, as I can find no mention of international shipping on the homepage of Croy Mobile.

yeah, that's the Ringke Onyx. It's probably the single, best case available at the moment, if you want any protection for the screen and corners that is. The trend these days seem to be thin cases that just protect from scratches and not drops of any kind. Something I personally don't quite understand (as someone who tends to drop the phone at the gym every couple of months ).
Was quite disappointed in this guy, the Olixar ExoShield. As you can see in this picture I took before I sent it back, while it has great protection for the corners and screen, it's a box that completely ignores the shape of the back of the phone. That ticked me off so much I had to send Olixar a complaint about it asking them what the heck they were thinking.
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:

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.

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)

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

its very expensive to ship from the brs website
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.

Sorry to hear that. Do you know how it happened?

Dropped it lucky it wasn't more damage. I probably need an hinge case lol

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.
