Best Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 cases 2021

Available in a wide variety of colors, this case keeps both halves connected via a durable woven strap, and at the end of its loop is a silver flat-edged ring so that you can use it as a ring grip. Given that PopSockets will be almost impossible to place correctly on the Flip, this case gives you a dependable grip as well as an easy way to pull it out of your pocket.

This ultra-thin clear case won't detract from your Z Flip 3's beautiful colors while giving you scratch protection and avoiding bulk. I appreciate that the case dips down around the flashlight rather than making it a separate cutout. It helps avoid refractions in flash photos and should keep your whole case from glowing when the flashlight is on.

This case is a teeny bit thicker than most, but that extra depth helps boost the impact protection of the honeycomb pattern inside. Three colors are available: basic black, an Olive Green close to the Galaxy Watch 4's green, and a beautiful Mallard Blue.

This is one of the most flamboyant Samsung cases I've seen in years, but once you get past the initial confusion of "Why is there a seat belt on my case?" This case is surprisingly functional. Rather than emulating ring grips, this is a strap grip you can get all four fingers inside for a more stable grip. I can't deny the allure of the Navy/Orange colorway, either.

This heavy-duty case will add a bit of thickness to your Z Flip 3, but I swear it's worthwhile. There's a nice sturdy kickstand built into the bottom half of this case, allowing you to prop up the Fold without splitting the screen in two.

This heavy-duty case is available in candy apple red and understated black. This heavy-duty case adds extra grip due to its uniquely bumpy bumper. There are also raised rubbed nibs on the back of the phone to help it stay in place while you have it sitting on a desk or table.

This polycarbonate case is slightly curved to help it better cling to the smooth sides of the Z Flip 3. It comes in dull black, but I find the matte clear version much more appealing: it shows off the Flip's color without reflecting off everything and showing every drop of oils and smudges.

The Tough Armor has been one of Samsung's most popular cases for almost a decade because it's affordable and durable. Given the difficulty of designing heavy-duty cases for this form factor, we're glad to see it available for the Z Flip 3.

It wouldn't be a Samsung flagship without a leather case option. While the color selection here might feel slim compared to the keyring case, I'm very much digging the earth tones here with the goldenrod yellow and deep forest green — which will match quite nicely with the Green Galaxy Watch 4.

If Samsung's leather cases are too rich for your blood (especially after spending so much on the phone itself), Foluu has a two-tone pleather case you'll love. This model relies on double-sided adhesive to help the case stay firmly attached to your phone, and the PU leather comes in three colors: black, yellow, and brown.

This hard-shell clear case comes alive once you pair it with any of the Fold's colorways. Pastel Hollyhock flowers pop, especially against the Lavender, Green, and Black Galaxy Z Flip 3, and this recycled plastic case is coated in an anti-microbial film.

This hybrid case has a slightly more substantial bumper so that the leather or carbon fiber material you choose can come up around the camera and outer screen rather than being limited to the main back panels. There are two shades of green among the six colors, and while the first is more Forest Green, the second is more blue-green like the Z Flip 3, so it matches better.
