Samsung recently unveiled its first foldable
smartphone - the Galaxy Fold. This smartphone carries a price tag of US$ 1,980
making it a luxury item. Well, if you are spending that much money on a
smartphone, you might also want to spend a bit more and get a protective case
to prevent any damage to it. Popular case maker Spigen has shared renders of
its protective cases for the Galaxy Fold giving us a glimpse into the foldable
future.
Spigen's cases for Galaxy Fold will come in three
models - Tough Armor, Thin Fit, and Ultra Hybrid. These cases will be made out
of silicone and plastic materials, and will cost around US$ 20. That's not a lot
of money if you have already spent almost US$ 2,000 on a smartphone.
These cases will have similar designs and will
protect the bezels around the 4.6-inch display that sits on the outer cover.
Needless to say, the cases will also have cut-outs for microphone, buttons,
cameras, and ports.
However, what's interesting to see is how these
cases will cover the phone as it relies on a hinging mechanism to fold and
unfold. Moreover, the material used should not only be strong but should also
be flexible enough.
The Galaxy Fold will be available for purchase
sometime in Q2 2019, so we will see these cases go on sale around the same time
period.
