You guys are crazy spending $2k on this thing (I’m ****ing jealous but I’ll stick with the Note)

If I keep mine I'll be leasing it for a year at 1k. Still a fortune, but I'm not making the full commitment. I believe Fold 3 will be the one I'd potentially invest in.

I'm trying it out, but unless it blows my mind and is a game changer I'll be sending it back. All in all with discounts and selling the watch and buds bundle along with my S20 plus, it'll cost me about $800.

I have been using the Targus Stylus Pen and it is is amazing!

It has a soft rubber tip that won't damage the display
Almost like having an spen.....

looks like major delays for people in the uk with some not getting it until early october

why bother advertising saying get it several days early when you pre order when its then delayed by 3 weeks

ditto with the cases i'm hoping more appear now the phone is starting to get to customers samsung looks nice but from reviews its very basic worth around 30 not 80.

Spigen look good but the ones I’ve seen not available in UK yet...the Spigen covers all the way around the hinge.

think i've seen late october or november for spigen cases hopefully thats just an estimate and they will arrive alot sooner i can manage without a case for maybe a week or two i prefer the leather cases feels more premium i kinda like the clear as i don't want to hide the phone away with a chunky case.

Still struggling to find cases...only seen samsung official ones at the moment.
There aren’t any real options other than Samsung official.

The lack of a silicone case really bothers me. I strongly prefer it over leather and I don’t like hard plastic cases. Hell I can’t even find a silicone case for the Fold 1.0.

The lack of options at launch is very frustrating.

Going to order from dbrand...far cheaper option even with shipping from the US.

Fast shipping still only £30

Man, a case on this form factor would take away the slick hands-on feel of the thing & satisfaction you get from folding/unfolding the device. I understand the need to protect such an expensive phone, but if ever there was a device you wanted the tactile feel of, it’d be this one.
