Evaluated assortment of Galaxy Z Fold 7 case options reveals noticeable lackings
The camera wobble issue on the Galaxy Z Fold 7 has been a cause for concern among users, with the phone's notably thick vertical camera bump causing a pronounced wobble when placed flat on a table, especially with vibrations enabled.
Despite many third-party cases offering minimal improvement, the primary solution or alternative to this issue seems to be Samsung's upcoming official grip case. This case features a slightly thicker grip design and a pop-out handle on the back, which can help reduce or solve the wobble when the phone is laid on its rear.
The official Samsung grip case is designed to help users hold the large foldable phone more securely and may also help stabilize it on flat surfaces. It comes with an anti-reflective film set for the front displays, improving usability, although this does not directly affect wobble.
While other cases, such as silicone or carbon fiber ones, protect the phone, they don't fully address the wobble issue. Kickstands included in some silicone cases do help reduce the wobble, but they do not completely eliminate it.
Samsung's official cases for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 serve a specific, singular purpose rather than trying to do too much. They offer protection and stability, making them a valuable addition to the device.
An alternative solution could be adding small items to the case that help solve the wobble problem. However, as of now, the most effective known solution is the forthcoming official Samsung grip case with a thicker grip and handle, which shows promise in solving or reducing the wobble caused by the camera bump on the Galaxy Z Fold 7.
The design of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is too good to be fully covered by cases, according to some critics. However, it's important to note that the grip case for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 has a grip on the left rear, causing an unbalanced wobble problem.
The best Galaxy Z Fold 7 cases tested so far include Spigen's ultra-thin carbon fiber case and Samsung's official clear grip case, which almost solves the wobble problem due to an added adjustable grip strap that is nearly identical in thickness to the camera surround.
Samsung offers the best silicon kickstand case, while Thinborne provides protection for both the front and rear of the phone, is ultra-thin, and has a magnetic ring for MagSafe-like charging.
In summary, the most effective known solution as of now is the forthcoming official Samsung grip case with a thicker grip and handle, which shows promise in solving or reducing the wobble caused by the camera bump on the Galaxy Z Fold 7. Other cases reduce but do not eliminate the issue. The Galaxy Z Fold 7, despite its wobble issue, is still considered the best folding phone for most people.
