This is probably my 5th case so far for the Fold 6... And all the other cases were in the same price range.All the other cases were from very reputable manufacturers, yet every single one had some serious issue. They were all pretty much junk. This is the first one that I've tried that actually excels in pretty much all areas.1) Screen protector for the cover screen....Excellent touch response, low on reflectivity, not much of a fingerprint magnet, and quite slick, so that your finger slides nicely on the glass. Particularly good for glide typing. I haven't tried to see if water can get in between the protector and the screen, but I have seen that happen on other cases for this phone. I would advise caution when cleaning the phone, not to overspray as to let alcohol or screen cleaner get in between the screen and the protector. Those are my thoughts, however it may not even be an issue.2) S pen slot/hinge protector... low profile, pen stays firmly in the slot and the hinge protector is much smaller than most other cases I've tried, which makes the case overall smaller than many others, while still maintaining a very high level of protection. This phone needs hinge protection, and any case that doesn't have it, is a waste of money. This does a great job.3) Built-in magnetic stand... They use the mag safe ring to hold it shut when not in use, and when it's mounted on my mag safe mount in the car, it's solid, and doesn't budge. The stand is extremely robust and angles perfectly with the phone in the open position. No issue with this whatsoever. Because the magsafe ring is missing a small portion near the hinge (by design), it can be detached from the mount without a lot of difficulty if you pull it from that side.4) No indentation for the volume controls... Unlike other cases where the volume control has a cutout, this one does not and makes it much easier to hit those (separated) volume controls when you need them. Other cases I have used are horrible when it comes to this as they use the factory cutout with the volume control and no buttons, but this one has a perfect tactile feel on those volume controls.5) Drop protection... I'm not going to test it, because I don't want to mark the case, but judging by the way the phone fit into it and the way the case surrounds every aspect of the phone, I see no issue protecting the phone should it be dropped.6) General feel in my hand... Extremely small profile for what it does; no it's not like the Aramid cases, which people believe offer some level protection, when they really don't. This thing feels great, doesn't really add as much bulk as you would think by looking at the picture and offers tremendous protection, unlike an Aramid case...which has zero protection as far as I'm concerned.The belt clip is a really nice added feature, but something I will never use. It is however, extremely robust and well-built.This is by far the best case in all respects, from all the cases that I have tried. Can't say how well it'll do over time. Only time will tell, but judging by the feel and the build quality, it should fare very well over time.It should be noted that it has every feature and level of protection available in a case for this phone. It's missing nothing; full phone protection with a magsafe compatible back, and a stand, as well as a pen slot and full hinge and cover screen protection.UPDATE: It's been almost a month that I've been using this case and nothing has changed since my initial review. I've tried several other cases before and after and this is the only one that does everything and does it well. It's also worth noting that it's probably got the smallest footprint of all of them, with what I believe is the same level of protection as some of the other cases which were much larger and heavier. My only gripe is the non-removable glass screen protector. Sometimes when I spray alcohol on the screen to clean, it gets under the glass and takes about an hour to evaporate, and it's difficult to get the corners perfectly clean, but this is basically just nitpicking. Overall, I don't think money can buy a better case.UPDATE: I purchased a 2nd unit and got it today...wanted the red case but wasn't available when I purchased it a while back, so I have both the black and the red now. Couldn't be happier. AFAIAC, there's no case on the market that is as good or as complete, with a lifetime warranty as well!
