Although the Galaxy Z Fold5 is known for its durability, it is still more fragile compared to traditional phone models. Therefore, equipping a phone case will provide users with peace of mind while using the device.
In the event of an unexpected impact or collision, a phone case will help protect the device from external forces. Additionally, Samsung's Slim case - an official phone case, features an S Pen slot for added convenience. Users can also purchase case models with kickstands for more comfortable movie viewing.
