    Fortunately, I received the Samsung case without the defect. I agree with you that it is the ideal use for the z Fold 5. However, I've enjoyed using Spigen Thin-Fit P, not rocking while laying flat on my desk. Hope you get the defect issue resolved.

    You can wrap the pen with some tape so it stays secure inside the Samsung case. Mine doesn't wiggle anymore with the tape on

    I had the same issue with the blue case. I am now on my second blue case. The S-Pen when stored is loose, but hasn't fallen out yet. Samsung is now sending me an individual S-Pen as of yesterday, but could not guarantee the color. Doesn't anyone at Samsung road test these cases? I don't know if it is a design and/or manufacturing defect. This case would be great if it would hold the S-Pen securely. It is pretty much the same color as the exclusive blue that can be purchased from Samsung only.

    Great content. You should try I-Blason clear thin case for the fold5. Or at least look it up. Best protection without being bulky.

    I'm in exactly the same boat. Pre-ordered the Slim S Pen case and it had the problem so I've returned it. Now I don't know what to do, because I don't want a bulky case and there are currently no other options. I think I'll wait for another batch of cases to ship and check whether they have a problem

    I just got the Samsung standing case with strap. I still have the slim case with the s-pen but I feel ripped of a bit. Fold 5 is my first foldable and I was under the impression that this pen would act like a shutter button and as a remote via Bluetooth just like on the Note 20 Ultra. For $100 that should have been the case (pun intended) So that's why I switched to the folding case which I really enjoy. I guess I am going to have to get the pen they made for the fold 4 at some point.

    I have a black case. The pen is so tight, I still can barely get the damn thing out. Must be just the blue ones. I ordered the grey one last week, no issues either. I will post another comment in a month to let you know how it's going. I subbed as soon as you said these things aren't cheap. 100 dollars for plastic 😒 In about 4 months it'll go for about $40 on Amazon like the Fold 4 did!

    Couldn't you just cut a thin piece of electrical tape and put it on the sides of the spen channel? That's my plan when it loosens.

    Is the case removable? Will the glue strips on front case still function after removing?

  • @edwinramos4910

    @edwinramos4910

    Technically, it's removable. But just like anything else with adhesive strips, every time you remove and reapply, it'll become less effective. I bought both the Slim S Pen case and the kickstand/starp case in the dark gray/black color, and since the front piece with the adhesive strips is exactly the same on both cases, all I have to do is swap the rear piece...which doesn't use adhesive strips.

    @edwinramos4910 thanks for the answer. I've long since returned the 256GB model and purchased the 500GB model directly from SAMSUNG during the Black Friday promotion. It brought the price down from $1500 to $1300 w/ the memory upgrade for free. I carefully removed the front case, and did minimal damage to the adhesive strips. I was therefore able to replace the adhesive back to its original position. While the case has not moved, from time to time the thin strip running lengthwise by the hinge does come unstuck and shifts slightly when pressure is applied. Pressing down firmly and sliding along the length of this edge of the front casd sticks it back into place.

    ​@@ayush4493I think it would be better to put the tape on the spen slot with non sticky part on the upside. It will destroy the look of the pen and cover if you apply the tape on spen.

    There are currently numerous reports about the batteries used by Apple being low-grade cells compared to previous generations. As a result, iPhone 14 owners collectively have devices bound to fail sooner than all previous generations.
