6 Best Slim Cases for Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4

Every year, Samsung refreshes its top-of-the-line, cutting-edge foldable series of smartphones, and this year is no different. The Galaxy Z Fold 4 is here, bringing minor changes and improvements compared to its predecessor. For starters, the Galaxy Z Fold 4 is both shorter and lighter. This makes it easier to handle and use.

However, the Galaxy Z Fold 4 is still chunky, given that it’s a foldable device. As a result, using a case on it would make it bulkier, which isn’t ideal. But, protecting your investment is also essential. A good middle ground is using a slim case. A slim case adds a decent bit of protection to your phone while maintaining the original form factor.

If you’ve just got yourself a shiny new foldable phone, look at some of the best slim cases for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4.

Before we get to the cases, though, here are some other articles you may be interested in:

• If you travel with many devices, a multi-port USB charger can be a lifesaver.
• Since the Galaxy Z Fold 4 supports wireless charging, consider getting a wireless charging station for multiple devices if you also have wireless earbuds and a smartwatch.

Let’s cover up the phone now!

1. Foluu Leather Case

Not only are you getting a slim case at an affordable price, but you’re also getting one with a leather finish with this case from Foluu. The case comes in two parts, like any other case for the Galaxy Fold series of phones, and offers a classy look without breaking the bank.

A slim case need not be plain and boring, and Foluu’s leather case is the best example of it. The rear portion of the case has a faux leather finish with stitches all along the perimeter. This gives the case a premium look despite being rather inexpensive. The front of the case snaps on and is made of hard plastic.

Being a slim case, you cannot expect a lot of protection but you’re also not compromising much on the thickness of the phone. This case is specifically for those who enjoy a leather finish but don’t want to spend too much on a genuine leather case.

2. BSNRM Matte Thin Case

Not a fan of the leather aesthetic? Want something simpler and soberer? Then, this matte case has got you (and your Galaxy Z Fold 4) covered. It’s a simplistic matte-finish case that’s made of polycarbonate and doesn’t add a lot of thickness to your device.

The BSNRM (not sure what that stands for) matte thin case stands true to its name as it’s easily one of the slimmest cases for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4. It’s simple and straightforward — you get two polycarbonate pieces with a matte finish texture. One goes on the front while the other goes on the back.

The brand provides several color options right from sober black to bright red, gold, blue, and pink. Since the Galaxy Z Fold 4 isn’t available in a lot of bold colors, you can pick up one or even multiple colors of this particular case to add an element of fun to your phone.

3. Ringke Slim Cover

The Ringke Slim Cover is a translucent case for the Galaxy Z Fold 4 that adds a different look to your device. It maintains a slim profile while giving you a semi-clear back that can show off the phone’s color.

A lot of people may like a clear case because it shows off the phone’s back completely. However, a clear case also comes with its own set of drawbacks like yellowing, fingerprint smudges, etc. A good solution for this problem is to get a translucent case like this one made up of polycarbonate.

The case has a matte texture so it won’t show any smudges. It also won’t turn yellow since it’s polycarbonate and not TPU. You get sticky pads on either side of the case to help keep it in place when you put it on the phone. If you’re not a fan of the translucent look, you can also pick this case in a clear or matte black option.

4. Spigen Air Skin

Here comes the beloved clear case a lot of people love sporting on their phones! The Spigen Air Skin is a slim case that happens to have a transparent back to show off the color and design of the Galaxy Z Fold 4. It’s certainly not as thin as air but you get that the brand is aiming for a slim profile.

Spigen’s Air Skin cases are even thinner than their Thin Fit series so you are indeed getting a case that’s probably as thin as it can get. This is a completely clear case so the color of your Galaxy Z Fold 4 will nicely shine through. Of course, it also means you will have to deal with smudges and fingerprints constantly.

The idea of this case is to make users feel like they’re using a thin layer of protection almost like skin but in the form of a case. Of course, the case isn’t as slim as a skin, but you’re also getting better drop protection here. Spigen Air Skin case is best suited for those who want their Galaxy Z Fold 4 to look just like how it does without a case.

5. Otterbox Thin Flex

This Otterbox case for the Galaxy Z Fold 4 isn’t anything like you would expect the brand to make. Otterbox cases are generally rugged and protective but this one’s on the opposite end of the spectrum.

The Otterbox Galaxy Z Fold 4 case is a part of the brand’s Thin Flex series meaning it’s thin and doesn’t add a lot of bulk to the phone. It’s a standard matte-finish case that doesn’t have a lot of bells and whistles. However, it offers a fair bit of protection despite being thin, thanks to its flexible, shock-absorbing nature.

The front piece for this case also seems slightly better and more protective compared to the other cases on this list. If you’re not a fan of the standard black colorway, Otterbox also gives you some fun options like Pacific Reef and Sparkle Purplexing with a hint of glitter for the extra bling. It’s a great option for those who want solid protection with a not-so-thick case.

6. Spigen Thin Fit P

Spigen’s Thin Fit lineup of cases is quite popular for its slim cases that don’t add a lot of bulk. The Thin Fit P takes it up a notch by adding an S Pen slot onto the case for the Galaxy Z Fold 4. So, if you’re getting the S Pen, you now have a nice place to store it without compromising too much on the form factor.

If you take the S Pen slot away, the Spigen Thin Fit P is your run-of-the-mill slim case with a plain, matte texture on the rear. It’s made up of hard polycarbonate with a smooth texture and snaps onto your Galaxy Z Fold 4 snugly. The materials used in this case are superior, improving the experience of holding the phone for long durations.

The S Pen’s lot resides on the side opposite the hinge, which isn’t ideal since it can interfere with the opening and closing of the phone. But, if you absolutely want the S Pen slot and a slim case, there aren’t many options besides the Spigen Thin Fit P for the Galaxy Z Fold 4.

Some Protection Is Still Better Than None

A slim case may not protect your Galaxy Z Fold 4 in case of extreme drops or an apocalypse. However, you get the advantage of maintaining a slim profile while adding some degree of protection against scratches and scuffs.

If you drop your phone often, you should consider getting a rugged case like the Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro for your Galaxy Z Fold 4.
