The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 is one of my favorite phones in 2023, and it's one of the best foldable flip phones you can get your hands on today. It was unveiled at the Galaxy Unpacked event on August 10, 2022, alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 4, and the Galaxy Watch 5 and Watch 5 Pro smartwatches.

The new Galaxy Z Flip 4 comes with a slight redesign on the outside, featuring flatter sides. The cover screen still features the same size, and the display comes with a 120hz refresh rate panel. It sports the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset with 8GB of RAM and up to 512GB of storage. The outside of the phone is fully customizable in the Samsung Bespoke Studio, but if you don't want to spend extra, and wait for long days to receive your new phone, we have an excellent solution.

Cases offer endless customization options for a fraction of the price, and they also protect the Flip 4 from scratches and dents. With all that out of the way, here are my favorite cases for the Flip 4, including the best rugged, slim, lightweight, and colorful covers and cases.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 in hand

Whether you're looking for the cheapest case to protect your Flip 4 from scratches, or a premium rugged one that can survive a serious beating, there are plenty of choices. If you're struggling, we recommend taking a look at some of my hand-picked selections, such as the case from SUPCASE, i-Blason, and the ones made by Samsung. These are the go-to for most people, and they're generally some of the best.

If, however, you're looking for a slimmer design, perhaps with a kickstand and other features, the Spigen Air Skin, dbrand Grip, Foluu Leather, and the OtterBox THIN Flex cases are excellent choices. They're all slim, and lightweight, providing excellent general protection against scratches and scuffs. There are many more on the list that we'd recommend checking out, after all, one case might not fit everyone's unique taste.
