Samsung has given us the most promising and functional foldable yet, but the Galaxy Z Flip has one small flaw to its mirror-finished body: It's slippery as an eel! Even when you set it down on a flat surface, it tends to slowly slide around, slipping off wireless chargers and tables. The case market for the Z Flip is incredibly slim, but we've gathered some of the best Galaxy Z Flip cases to protect your expensive new phone.

Grip and glamour

Why you can trust Android Central Our expert reviewers spend hours testing and comparing products and services so you can choose the best for you. Find out more about how we test.

The Galaxy Z Flip is a weird but wonderful, absurdly expensive phone, so you'll definitely want the best phone cover for it. The official Samsung leather cover gives us a nice premium option for this premium-priced phone, but it's also almost twice the price of Samsung's leather covers for its other Galaxy phones. If you want more robust protection, there's the Case-Mate Tough Grip. Drop protection up to 10 feet is impressive for a folding case, and it features good definition for the buttons and around the fingerprint sensor.

If you have already gone bankrupt acquiring the folding phone itself, a cheaper option makes sense. The Ringke Slim phone case is reasonably priced, and it doesn't compromise the safety of your precious Galaxy Z Flip either. On the more material side of things, the LICHIFIT Ultra-thin Tempered Glass Protective Skin looks absolutely stunning with its lightning-like design, shiny tempered glass, and gold accents.
