Get a great protective case for your brand new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 and stay protected from drops and dents

Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 5 is a great upgrade for those who believe in foldables. Instead of playing around a lot with the design, Samsung stayed subtle and dropped the biggest upgrade where it matters most – the cover display.

But if you want your cover screen to last, as well as your entire phone, for years to come, you'll definitely want to invest in a protective case. Right now there is a lot to choose from. So what we did was simple – we picked the ones that offer maximum protection while making sure they don't hurt.

JETech matte bag

We'll start the list with a minimal and stealthy case from JETech. If you love to hide your phone and still show it off in some capacity, this is the case for you.

When you put this cover on, you immediately protect your Galaxy Z Flip 5 from drops and scratches. The drop protection is this case's specialty, which is made possible by improved cushioning in all four corners. Even if you drop your phone directly on the ground, most of the shock will be absorbed by the case and you can continue your day like nothing.

There are raised lips around the case to keep the cameras and case screen protected at all times. Every time you put your phone on the table, you can rest easy knowing that not a single part of the phone touches the outside world.

The precise cutouts for the camera, buttons, fingerprint sensor and charging port ensure you have access to everything when you need it. There's nothing worse than a case you have to fight with, and this one from JETech is designed to blend seamlessly with your phone's design language.

Last but not least is the case's stunning matte black finish. In fact, part of the cover is translucent, which shows the color of your phone in a very subtle way. If you don't like the matte black look, you can even go for the frosted clear option.

Priced at just $14.99, this case is not only great protection, but also great value.

Ringke Slim

Matte clear cases are favored by many. They offer protection and everyone gets to see the color of your phone that you're protecting without feeling slippery or greasy in your hand.

Rinkge probably makes some of the best clear cases out there. The Slim series for the Galaxy Z Flip 5 is no exception at all. Even with a foldable design, the Ringke Slim comes in two parts that fit perfectly on the Galaxy Z Flip 5, giving you the ultimate protection.

The case has a matte finish, meaning you don't have to worry about fingerprints or oil. Clear cases are notorious for picking up fingerprints, but the matte finish ensures you don't have to deal with them. This also makes the case easy to clean. A quick clean with a microfiber cloth will make this case look brand new again.

On the thickness front, this case is simply one of the thinnest around and light too. Ringke Slim adds just 1mm of bulk to the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and weighs an astonishingly low 14.5g. There's nothing worse than a thick and heavy case, we're glad we don't have to deal with both.

Ringke Slim goes the extra mile by offering a slightly raised lip around the camera lens. That lip is only 0.5mm thick, ensuring your camera stays protected when your phone sits on the table. With full support for wireless charging and PowerShare, this cover won't get in the way of your wireless lifestyle either.

Available in a variety of finishes, you can get it in the same color as your Z Flip 5 if you want. And all this for just $19.99.

Spigen Air Skin

This is the clearest case around. There's no matte coating here, and it doesn't add any extra gimmicks either. It's a clean, high-quality accessory from a brand we love.

Spigen's Air Skin is as clear as it gets. But that clarity obviously comes at the price of fingerprints. But if you're reading this, you probably don't care and are already walking around with a microfiber cloth in your pocket. It's great for wiping this case clean at a moment's notice. When the case is applied, you can expect all-round protection, and it ensures that the case screen and camera lenses remain protected, all thanks to the raised lip.

If you're worried about yellowing over time, Spigen promises this case will stay fresh due to the use of premium polycarbonate with a urethane coating. We'll take their word for it, but if it's yellowing, there's always a TikTok video to help you get that crisp look back.

Priced at $44.99 and available in a variety of finishes, this case doesn't come cheap. However, it is the best clear case available.

Design for Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5

We're back to minimal cases, and this one even comes with a screen protector to take protection to the next level.

Don't worry, this is not a screen protector for the internal display. We know that it will simply destroy the screen when used. The protector we're talking about is for the cover screen – the one outside. With the screen protector applied and the case on the Galaxy Z Flip 5, you basically make your phone immortal. The case itself provides excellent protection and even protects the hinge mechanism, which many cases do not.

The raised lip around the screen and camera lens is also there and of course important for protection. Drop protection and support for wireless charging round everything off nicely.

Given that this case is available in a variety of colors, we'd recommend getting it in black. It's stealthy, doesn't attract attention, and it's a great way to keep a low profile with the Galaxy Z Flip 5.

Priced at $18.99, this is a budget case that doesn't sacrifice quality at all.

GOOSPERY Flex wallet

There's nothing like a case that does it all. Why bring more things with you when the suitcase can carry most of the load, right?

This option from GOOSPREY is a protective case and wallet in one. The fun actually doesn't stop there either. It even has a built-in key ring holder, so you can tilt your phone out of your pocket or hang it on your bag. We wouldn't recommend doing the latter because of theft, but the option is there.

The wallet part of this case is completely overkill. Usually a case with a built-in wallet can hold up to 2 cards at best, but not this one. This has room for up to 4 cards in total. It even has room to store cash if you want.

Since this case has so much going on, it ends up being a bit bulky to carry. This means that every single corner is well padded against drops and dents. I'm pretty sure the manufacturer managed to make this case a good one by accident.

If you're looking for a protective case and wallet in one, the price is just $25.99.

Caseology Nano Pop

An extremely popular case option for the iPhone, we're happy to see it's also available for the Galaxy Z Flip 5.

If you're in the mood for great accents on a case, then the Nano Pop by Caseology is what you need to check out. The one pictured above is Blueberry Navy, and it's the best finish on a smartphone case out there. This case is designed in such a way that it provides excellent grip, all thanks to that dot pattern on the sides. You will also find raised frames that will keep the screen nice and safe from falling.

The yellow accent is what you should focus on, as it's the first thing everyone will notice when you take the Galaxy Z Flip 5 out of your pocket. Of course, there are other color options available if you don't like the striking feel of this case at all.

Priced at $39.99, it's a bit pricey. Looks good though? Oh yes, it definitely does.
