You're definitely buying the new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5. Here are some of the best protective cases you should order right now for it.

Grab a Great Protective Case for Your Brand New Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Stay Protected Against Drops and Dents

Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 5 is a great upgrade for those who believe in foldables. Rather than toying around with the design a lot, Samsung remained subtle and dropped the biggest upgrade where it matters the most - the cover screen.

However, if you want that cover screen to last, as well as the entire phone, for years to come, you definitely want to invest in a protective case. Right now, there are plenty to choose from. So, what we did was simple - we picked out the ones that offer maximum protection while ensuring they are not an eyesore.

JETech Matte Case

We're going to kick off our list with a minimal and stealthy case from JETech. If you love hiding your phone away and yet show it off in some capacity, this is the case for you.

Once you put this case on, you are instantly protecting your Galaxy Z Flip 5 against drops and scratches. The drop protection is this case's specialty which is made possible using enhanced cushioning at 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 go on with your day like nothing happened.

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

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

Last but not least is the case's wonderful matte black finish. In fact, one portion of the case is translucent, which shows off the color of your phone in a very subtle manner. If you don't like the matte black look, you can even opt for the frosted clear option.

Priced at just $14.99, this case is not just great protection but great value as well.

Ringke Slim

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

Rinkge probably makes some of the best clear cases around. The Slim series for Galaxy Z Flip 5 is no exception at all. Even with a foldable design, the Ringke Slim ships in two pieces that snuggly fit onto the Galaxy Z Flip 5, giving you the ultimate protection.

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

On the thickness front, this case is simply one of the thinnest ones around and light, too. Ringke Slim only adds 1mm of bulk to your Galaxy Z Flip 5 and weighs in at 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 a mile extra by offering a slightly raised lip around the camera lens. That lip is only 0.5mm thick, and that ensures your camera stays protected whenever your phone sits on the table. With full support for wireless charging and PowerShare, this case won't get in the way of your wireless lifestyle either.

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

Spigen Air Skin

This is the clearest clear case around. There's no matte coating here, nor it offers any extra gimmick. It's a pure, high-quality accessory from a brand we love.

Spigen's Air Skin is as clear as it gets. But that clearness obviously comes at a price of fingerprints. But, if you're reading this, you probably don't care about that and already move around with a microfiber cloth in your pocket. That's great for wiping this case clean at a moment's notice. Once the case is applied, you can expect all-around protection, and it ensures the cover 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 usage of premium polycarbonate with urethane coating. We'll take their word for it, but if it does yellow out, there's always a TikTok video to help you get that all-clear look once again.

Priced at $44.99 and available in a variety of finishes, this case is not cheap. However, it's the best clear case around.

Design for Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5

We're back to minimal cases, and this one even ships 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 it will simply break the display when applied. 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're basically making your phone immortal. The case itself offers excellent protection and even protects the hinge mechanism, which many cases don't.

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

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

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

GOOSPERY Flex Wallet

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

This option from GOOSPREY is a protective case and a wallet in one. In fact, the fun doesn't stop there either. It even has a built-in key ring holder, allowing you to rock your phone outside your pocket or hang it on your bag. We wouldn't recommend doing the latter due to theft reasons, but the option is there.

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

Since this case has so much going on, it ends up being slightly bulky to carry. This means 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 a wallet in one, the price is just $25.99.

Caseology Nano Pop

An extremely popular case option for the iPhone, we're glad to see that it is available for the Galaxy Z Flip 5 as well.

If you're a complete sucker for wonderful-looking 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 offers excellent grip, all thanks to its dot pattern on the sides. You will also find raised bezels that will keep the screen nice and secure against drops.

That yellow accent is what you should focus on as it is the first thing everyone will notice once you pull out your Galaxy Z Flip 5 from the 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 is slightly pricey. Does it look good, though? Oh yes, it definitely does.
