You're the first KZitem video to show up on a Google search for looking at Pixel Fold cases, so this is my first introduction, to you. I'm typing this within the first 10 minutes of your video; you're on Spigen, right now. SO FAR, SO GOOD! 👍👍 I'm hoping you will cover my problem; you have on a couple of cases, but I'm having issues with the top piece easily coming off. I'm trying to find the best case where that DOESN'T happen; preferably one that legitimately "snaps on", without the use of those sticky tapes. You've been very thorough, so far, so I can't wait to finish watching the rest of the video. But that top piece, that's my biggest concern. Bought some junk off eBay, and top comes right off, when trying to open. Liking the Pitaka so far, but I'm not done with the video yet, lol.

the reason there’s very little to no raised edge on the inner display is because of how flat the screens are when the phone is folded up. if a raised edge was any taller than a fraction of a millimeter, it would cause the phone not to fold flat. secondly, how often do you imagine people laying the pixel fold with the inner screen face down to protect the screen? because i certainly never do that with mine. i just don’t think it’s a very valid point of criticism given the expected usage scenario. the most important raised lip to have on the case would be for the cover display and the camera lenses. i just wanted to point that out because you seem to repeatedly mention that having a raised lip for the inner scree as a criteria for a good case. imo it’s actually the opposite. a good case should not interfere with how the phone is designed to fold flat.

What if you drop it on its face while it's open? Even from a couple feet above the ground. Imagine shattering two thirds of your $1800 phone I was definitely hoping for some inner screen protection and it looks like the Pitaka MagEZ case accomplished that, while still allowing the phone to fold (what looks like) completely flat 8:26 and 8:17

One thing about the wireless charging test is it might show you that it's charging at first but most thick cases won't be charging afterwards and if it does it's a lot slower. This is also dependent on what wireless charger you have as well. Some are better then others.

@@adjbuzz Yep. You can either prioritise protection and utility (like flip stand or integrated card holder) or you can prioritise convenience - in which case "no case" is the best option. "No case" is the most light weight option, the smallest option and no issues with wireless charging. Thin cases are useless: they offer no drop protection since the hinge side is unprotected anyways so there's basically no real reason to use them. Might as well go without a case at that point and get the best of that side of the spectrum.

@bexclue3007 - I think minimalist cases are designed for those of us that NEVER drop our phones, because we grip them so tight, and we're more concerned with the phone having no scratches or damage to them. I've barely had my Fold and have already noticed the stainless around the camera scratches......EASILY. 😮 Freaked me out, tbh. 😱

@@johndanielsforJesus I thought there's some scratch resistance film/stickers or something. If there isn't, the minimalist case for scratch resistance makes sense, sure. I've never dropped my foldable out of my hand. But I've dropped it out of my pocket or dropped it from my bed. So be careful 😉

@@bexclue3007 - I can honestly say that, after over 15 years of smartphones (20+ years of cellphones), in the 15 years of smartphones, I can count on one hand the amount of times I've dropped 🫳 😳 my phone(s). One was recent (my S22 Ultra), which I left in a precarious position, on top of my car. Circumstances played out, and the darn thing landed on its face. So that had to be upgraded to the more recent S23 Ultra. The drop that preceded it 2 years prior, was me working 2 full-time jobs, with barely any sleep 😴, and just being "out-of-it". It wasn't just the phone I dropped. Car keys, and, very often, soda cans, were sliding out of my hand, on the regular. The final 2 "drops", nearly a decade ago, now, were not actually "drops". I apparently (or used to, lol), have a bit of "gamer rage" 😳 One phone was the Galaxy S8; I can't remember the other phone; it's been too long. Both times I lost connection, or something happened, while playing the game, and I just "road-raged" my phone!! Slammed it into the ground!!!! 🤬 You'd have thought I would have learned after having to pay the first deductible, from my insurance, and going through the headache and hassle, but NOOOOO. 🤦♂️🙃🤣🤣 I learned after the 2nd time. I'm not going through that, a 3rd time, lol. My current phone lineup is the Pixel Fold (primary line) ; S23 Ultra (business line) ; Z Fold 4 (backup phone)

I have the Poetic Spartan case, and it seems decent, but every time I open it I feel that the case can easily pull away from the screen. Not sure if this is common with all cases (you can't really have a raised lip on the interior). Anyone else have a similar experience? I'm thinking of ordering a Whitestone Escudo or a Ghostek ATOMIC and seeing how they compare.

I'm having no issues with the Google case, I have the baby blue one. It doesn't appear to have any flaws at all. Please don't put the phone face down when unfolded, it's really not necessary. The inner screen has a factory fitted, plastic screen protector that shouldn't be removed of course. If there was a raised edge around the inner screen, the whole phone would need to be redesigned as it would no longer fold flat which is one of the design pluses of this phone's design: the hinge would need to be made wider.

It wasn’t bias, I thought I mentioned spine protection, in every case that I reviewed whether it had it or not. And as far as trying to see how well it stayed on the phone, I think I stopped doing it halfway through, and would just mention if I noticed that the case easily came off or not. It’s tough because the video is so long as it is I just wanted to try to keep down the amount of extra information that wasn’t needed if I didn’t see an issue with it.
