It definitely does its job keeping your phone safe but it's noticeablely a good amount of weight added to your phone and it has only one flaw which is the hinge but for any folding phone thats going to be hard to make durabl and flexible

Perfect Protection for the Z Fold6

This OtterBox case is excellent! It fits the Galaxy Z Fold6 perfectly and offers serious protection without adding too much bulk. The grip is solid, and it feels sturdy in the hand. I love the hinge coverage and how secure the phone feels. If you're looking to keep your Fold6 safe, this case is worth every penny.

I've purchased many otterbox cases over the years, and I have never had anything negative to say about any of the cases until now. I'm not bashing Otterbox because what may be disappointing to me may be a gem to others, which is evident by the many positive comments I see on here. I am simply giving my opinion and my experience with this particular case. So, with that said, I had been looking at this case for quite a while, so when it went on sale (still expensive), I jumped on it. Got it home; put it on my phone, and I immediately did not like the feel. I have seen quite a bit of reviews that say this case is slim, but i think that must be dependent upon how big your hands are because I find the case to be somewhat bulky. The case that I have been using is a full body case with a built-in tempered glass screen protector. It has a hinge protector with an S pen holder and a stand, and it feels less bulky than this Otterbox case. And yes, I can say that the case I have been using does provide good protection for my phone because I did drop it on gravel once, and my phone did not sustain any damages (and it's a bit cheaper). The tempered glass cracked, but my phone's screen was just fine. Furthermore, the front cover of this Otterbox case has such a deeply raised bezel that it takes a little effort to use the swipe gestures or to open the edge panel (if you use those things). Also, there is a good area around the camera cut out where the back of the phone is exposed; I don't like that. The last two things I don't like about this case are the hinge protector and the access to the fingerprint sensor. The hinge seems to be a bit flimsy, and I'm guessing that's because it seems to be more of a clip-on piece than a hinge protector that is integrated into the design of the case. The fingerprint sensor/side button is a little difficult to get to because of the lack of space when the phone is closed. There are just too many things that I don't like about this case, and I don't think it is worth the price, even on sale. So, I will be returning it.

Incredibly well built. I love how flat the bezel is. Its flush with the screen while in the open position. Folds up very square. Comfortable to hold. The spine of the fold adds a grip while open also.
Sold separately is the holster that will allow the phone to sit on a table while in the open position. Worth every dollar. Veey good protection. Im very happy with this purchase. Thanks Otterbox for getting it right this time.

This case sucks at first because of the weight and bulk it adds to such a nice phone however its worth its weight in gold. Im sure it has saved my $2,000 phone from being broken numerous times

The cases is very sturdy and it doest a great job protecting the hinge, it also helps that its a connected piece. I had a spigen screen protector priot to putting the case on, and its still on there, no lifting or anything. The fingerprint opening is quite small and will get in the way, but is either that or minimum protection, so overall I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

OtterBox Protection for Galaxy Z Fold6

Have always used OtterBox to protect my phones that is since moving from a flip phone ages ago. Haven't had this to long but like the heft it adds to this Z Fold6 that makes it feel sturdy and safe. Additionally it makes me less concerned about applying to much pressure when unfolding the Z Fold6. The added weight is insignificant and personally the thickness added to the phone is well out weighed by the security of knowing the phone won't easily be bent or twisted. Only little issue I've experienced is the initial opening of the flap to insert the charger cord. Even that has become easier after the first few times. Overall Great protection and Excellent piece of mind!

This is one of the better OtterBox cases I've seen for the Fold. It actually protects the hinge and isn't too bulky nor heavy. While I will use the Samsung S-Pen case on a regular basis, it's nice to have this one for those times when I'm outdoors in the elements boating and camping. Highly recommended!

If you need something for "now" and already ordered it. It'll protect it. It's not going to be what you think. The front screen is unusable once this goes on. Interferes with a screen protector, can't grab the top bar ever or side swipe apps from the bottom because there's no bevel toward the inside. Makes you hate the phone. The phone is awesome! Why put dust ports on the case if the hinge area has no rubber seal at all? No thought into this just some big brand throwing out poo expecting everyone to keep making them rich. Maybe it was one of their children's school projects. I'll be replacing this with one from Spigen, for now. Until someone is creative without 3M tape. (The Zagg glass protector is the one it will pop the corners up on.) Better off buying something cheaper until someone makes a better one, not Otterbox, They're no longer cabable.

Tight snugg fit, face bump is enough space so when you drop, less chance of hitting the ground. Only issue is touching edge of screen, hard to move app to a different page and typing right now your thumbs would hit thr edge. Protection wise its great, some functions are just harder to use because of thr tall lip. Will work great if it came with a pen lol.

This case works fairly well once you get used to it. The front makes the side of the screen a bit hard to use and the fingerprint reader is difficult to use with this case. The hinge protection makes the phone easy to use one handed and overall offers great protection.

I recently bought the Fold6 and it is less durable than most phones. I have used defender cases in the past and they have been extremely tough. I work on swimming pools and recently took an accidental dip in a customers pool with my phone in my pocket. When i surfaced my Fold was sealed and dry with no signs of damage. Without this case i would definitely be purchasing a new phone! Great product!
