TONGATE for Z Fold 5 Case with Ring Stand, Built-in Z Fold5 S Pen Holder, Shockproof Rugged Phone Case with Screen Protector & Slide Camera Cover & Belt Clip for Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 2023, Black

This is my 4th case and likely the final one! For over a month I've been on the hunt for a quality case that does it all. There are 5 important considerations in my search.1. Price (Bang for your buck)2. Pen Holder (Both Slim and Fold 4)3. Kickstand4. 360 protection w/hinge and Camera5. Screen protectorI've purchased the Torro Folio Case, Waldeng Chrome/White case, and the Spigen Tough Armor Pro P. You can find reviews by me on each of their product pages if you want individual reviews.This case directly compares to the Spigen so I will be making comparisons with side by side photos.1. Price: For $60.00 you get this case and a hefty belt clip. For $80 you get only a case from Spigen. Both are about the same size and both are similar in quality. You just get more for less with Tongate case. Tongate wins.2. Pen Holder: Tongate is compatible with both the Slim and the Fold 4 Pen. This was huge for me as I have and prefer the larger pen. Spigen Tough Armor Pro P is only compatible with the Slim S-Pen. Spigen also does a terrible job of making that clear on their pages. I also prefer how the pen is stored in the Tongate over the Spigen. Since the hinge is difficult to open on the Spigen it becomes a chore. With this case it just slides right in the top and slides out with a finger swipe on the side. It's perfect IMO. Tongate wins.3. Kickstand: Both phones offer a kickstand. This one offers it on the back, the Spigen stand is on the spine. This stand mainly for horizontal viewing, but I can prop up vertically to a lesser degree. The spigen stand works wonderfully in any direction, but it's difficult to open. It's latched tightly and needs fingernails to pry open. I prefer the diversity of the Spigen stand, but I prefer the ease of use on this one. Spigen edges out this stand on orientation. Tongate wins on diversity as it can double as a ring and is magnetic.4/5. 360 Protection: Tongate offers true 360 protection with this case. Thick, durable, built in screen protection, hinge protection, and camera protection. Really makes the phone feel safe. Spigen offers the same minus the screen and camera protector. Both feel almost identical in size and quality of materials. You just get a little more with Tongate case. Tongate wins.Conclusion:This is a quality case right up there with Spigen. They both feel about the same in hand and you won't really go wrong with either one. But for what you get with this product for the price of $60 absolutely blows the Spigen Tough Armor Pro P out of the water.See pictures for comparisons. Tongate on left Spigen on right.

Does an amazing job protecting the phone. Only bad thing is it leaves 2 marks on the spine after a while do to the groves in the pen holder of the spine protector other than that works great. Phone got parshally ran over but phone survived nearly untouched didn't need to get it repaired just needed to buy a new case

the case is good the only thing was the slide cover for the camera will not stay in place to protect it. after time the lock on it wears out.

Super easy to put on. No *real* drops in functionality (you may have some trouble reaching the very corners of the screen depending on finger size). The built in ring/ phone stand on the back is great. The design is sleek. The pen is a little wonky to get out but you get used to it. No drops in sound quality. As far as protection, I have dropped my phone many many times, usually from my lap to the floor. No issues, no damage. About a month ago I had my phone in my back pocket sitting on a stone wall. My daughter jumped on me and my weight shifted right on to the phone. I heard a crunch and my heart sank. To my surprise, only the glass screen protector (which was totally destroyed) was damaged. I took that off and used half the case until I bought a new one, and it still protected the phone from drops. It's not capable of wireless charging, and the magnet strength is not good at all. But I will never rely on any other product to protect my phone. So long as I have a Fold, and so long as they make a version of this case to match that phone, I'm a customer for life.

Supplier will NOT honor the warranty - this is not acceptable. Phone case was expensive and we expected it to last longer than 2 months. The warranty was lifetime ! Not happy with this product or the company at all

I've had this case on my Fold5 now for several months. It seems like a nice case. Quite sturdy and it protects the phone well. It's handy having the pen readily available, and it's nice to have the ring for grip, and for a kickstand. But there are several things that have been problematic with this case.I got the case on my phone and the first thing I noticed is that you cannot reach the left side of the front screen. So for instance, When you're moving widgets around your home screen on the front screen of the phone, and you want to move one from your main screen to the screen that is to the left, you can't physically reach the far left edge of the screen to have things push to the left. The farthest pixels are being covered by the screen protector. I think this could easily have been overcome by the designer. It was just overlooked. It causes some irritation, but you can get around it in most circumstances.Next problem was trying to charge the phone. The small cut away for the USB C charger is too small for most charging cables. So in order to fit my charging cable into the USB C slot, I had to cut away a part of the cases to allow the cable to fit by it.And then again I had to cut away part of the case, because of peripheral tools. I use a Infra Red Camera attachment for my work. And this camera has an extra long USB C plug to reach through cases on your phone. However, this case is thicker than most cases. It wouldn't allow the already long USB C plug to reach far enough into the socket to connect with the phone. And I don't want to have to remove the case while on the job just to plug in the camera. So again, I had to cut away almost a millimeter of rubber to allow the camera to fit snuggly against the bottom of the phone. This will probably also be true of you if you use a charging dock.Further nuisances, are minor but still annoying that they weren't overcome in design.The hinge on the side can be used for a grip, but it pulls away from the body while you're holding it, and over stresses the hinge.It would be nice if the metal plate in the mount was actually magnetic and nit just metal. It could have meant that the phone could have been attached to metal to be hung. Say on the side of your car, or on a metal plate on the job site... etc. Or if it were simply made of a ring and not a sold plate, it could have continued to be used with a wireless charging pad. Not a deal breaker, but things that could have made this product much better.Last is the belt clip/ holder.This is quite annoying. The holder has way more room to it than it should have. They have a huge space between the phone and the holder, making it stick way off your hip. Why is there so much room there...? This just makes it cumbersome and bulky when you have to wear it on your belt. This a big downfall for this case. I really wanted a belt clip for wearing it and easily getting to it, while working. But getting the phone in and out of the holder is not easy. It clunky and for the most part requires two hands....Alone the case is alright. Its strong and sturdy. But it has a lot of problems. If none of these are a bother for you though. It may be a good fit. But If you need any of the features I have found to be problematic? You'll want to keep shopping.*Update- Tongate reached out to express their concern over the items I detailed in my review. Sounds like they will take notes on things to be changed in their future products. Their customer service also seems to be very helpful and respectful.

Good quality
