Now that Samsung has officially unveiled the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6, third-party accessory makers are rushing to launch their offerings for the new foldables. After Caseology, UAG, and a few others, OtterBox is here with its collection of protective cases for the duo. The two foldables are now available for pre-order.
OtterBox launches protective cases for the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6
OtterBox’s case lineup for the new Samsung foldables includes the Thin Flex Series in four colors and Defender Series XT in three colors. As the name implies, the former is an ultra-slim case tailored to foldable phones. Since foldables are already quite bulky, this cover adds extra protection without making the devices bulkier.
The Thin Flex Series cases for the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 have a tough body with soft grip edges. OtterBox has added extra layering around the edges for a secure fit and tougher protection against everyday drops and bumps. The cases also have raised edges to protect the camera and screen and support wireless charging.
The company claims it used 50% recycled plastic to make each Thin Flex Series case for the foldable duo. Priced at $59.95, the cover is available in Black, Clear, and Ballet Shoes (Pink) colorways for the Galaxy Z Fold 6. The Flip 6’s case comes in Black, Color, Denver Dusk Purple, and Berry Bliss (Pink) shades and costs $49.95. Only the Black variant is on sale currently, though. OtterBox says the remaining color options will be available soon.
Otterbox also has a rugged option
If you want something more robust and rugged, OtterBox has the Defender Series XT cases for both Samsung foldables. These cases feature a rugged hinge cover and port covers to guard vulnerable areas against dust and dirt. The firm claims grippy edges for a confident handhold, while a built-in lanyard attachment provides versatility. The hinge also provides a grip space when the device is in an unfolded state, while you get an optional holster too.
Despite a rugged build, OtterBox’s Defender Series XT cases for the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 support wireless and reverse-wireless charging. For the Fold, the cases are available in Black and Baby Blue Jeans (Blue) colors, priced at $89.95. The Flip’s cases come in Black, Denver Dusk Purple, and Red Clay (Red) colorways and cost $79.95. All of these cases are now on sale via OtterBox’s website. The firm offers a 10% discount on when you purchase a screen protector.
