The Galaxy Z Fold 5 is the best foldable phone Samsung's ever made, at least until the Z Fold 6 comes along later this year. The Fold 5 might even be good enough to overcome the hinge issues experienced by older models. So far, it's as solid as it can be.
Nevertheless, taking good care of your phone has never hurt anyone. Fortunately, if you want to pair your Galaxy Z Fold 5 with a new accessory, Samsung is giving you plenty of options in 2024.
Best Galaxy Z Fold 5 accessories you can buy from Samsung
Samsung's official list of Galaxy Z Fold 5 cases presently consists of six models, but if you are wondering, neither has interchangeable NFC cards. The Galaxy Z Flip 5 started the Flipsuit Case trend, and the Galaxy S24 series later borrowed it, but for whatever reason, there is no Flipsuit Case for the Galaxy Z Fold 5.
The closest you can get to a Flipsuit Case design for the Galaxy Z Fold 5 is through the Haydonna Popticle Case, which costs $39.99. However, it doesn't have an NFC element and associated themes and wallpapers.
Other Galaxy Z Fold 5 cases include:
- Galaxy Z Fold 5 Clear Gadget Case — $54.99. It works just like any other Gadget Case. It's a clear case that has a ring attachment on the back, which can be used as a kickstand or be replaced with other attachments, from straps to secure grips.
- Galaxy Z Fold 5 Eco-Leather Case — $79.99. Available in Graphite or Icy Blue, this is the most stylish case for the Galaxy Z Fold 5. It doesn't have any elements that stand out but offers protection for your foldable device. It has a soft feel and is crafted with eco-conscious materials.
- Galaxy Z Fold 5 Standing Case with Strap — $84.99. Another case with interchangeable accessories, the Standing Case with Strap lets you swap between a stand or a hand strap attachment. It's available in two color options: Sand with a pink strap and Graphite with a green strap.
- Galaxy Z Fold 5 Slim S-Pen Case — $99.99 — is without a doubt the perfect case for Z Flip 5 owners who want to use the S Pen with the foldable display. It's the only case with an S Pen holder (S Pen included), and it is available in three colors: Sand (pink S Pen), Graphite (matching S Pen), and Icy Blue (neon green S Pen).
- Last but not least, Samsung also offers the SHLDAir Case for the Galaxy Z Fold 5 for $59.99, although you might have difficulties finding it in stock. This case offers the best protection for the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and has the best shock absorption characteristics. It even has a magnetic hinge cover for enhanced protection and a raised aluminum shield for the three rear-facing cameras.
The last two accessories worth mentioning are the front protection film (available for $19.99) and the S Pen Fold Edition ($54.99). The film should need no introduction, but the S Pen Fold Edition is an interesting accessory because it comes with a carrying pouch. Essentially, it's an alternative to the S Pen Case for Galaxy Z Fold 5 users who want the S Pen without the case.
Once again, this S Pen works only with the foldable display. It's dust and water-resistant with an IP68 rating. It is available only in one color option — black — so if you want a different color for your S Pen, your only other option is to buy the aforementioned S Pen Case.
