Ringke Clear case came in ...hanging with his little brother ...I like the black case better but this one will show off my skins ...also be very careful removing case it fits in snugly ..I do have the skin so might contribute to it ..

What's crazy is they from everything I've read, it sounds like that cheap AI Autofocus case floating around ebay and Amazon is the best case for the Fold 2 thus far.

Yes plenty of great reviews on the AI just slap a skin over that working on the camera and you’re good to go ...

I’m still stuck debating whether to go Fold 2 vs 12 Pro Max. I’ve tried having two phones in the past and it just becomes a pain.

How are you guys finding the crease? I read that some have you have taken the screen protectors off but I thought Samsung recommend leaving them on?

I like the fact that you get the SD processor in the UK too.

Samsung have a decent sale on at the moment.

in my experience the crease becomes invisible like the notch on an iPhone and eventually just blends into the whole user experience.

I think you have to factor in what works for your daily life i would Say. The crease as @jamezr says it’s something you get used to and it becomes normal as in every day use you will be using the display and you won’t be able to tell it’s there most of the time.

screen protector off makes the experience much better i would say. I get what you’re saying in terms of two phones but i see the fold more as my on the go tablet than say a phone...well that’s what i have marketed it to the wife to let me keep two phones Ha

I don't do the two phones set up. I prefer keeping it basic, but that's just me. But that's a tough debate, I think it's more than just two phones... that's two operating system.

The crease and screen protector, that's a minuscule issue as @The Game 161 and @jamezr pointed out.. I recommend.. if you heavily rely on Apple Watch, I wouldn't do it. But besides that, the Z Fold 2 is a joy to use.

Thanks guys, appreciate your responses. Samsung have released a few offers. That sounds like a good way to justify to the other half hehe.

I'm in a similar boat. I'm deciding between those two and the Pixel 5. Gonna try the Pixel first and if I don't like the size I'll decide between those two.

What usb-c to usb-c cable do you guys suggest? I'm on Amazon and have no idea what version to get for maximum quick charge. Preferably 6 footer and thin cable (some of the Anker ones have really thick cables).

I haven't been a big fan of Anker, the last USB-C to A cable I got from them was really really thick and was flaky with AA. But my issue isn't so much brand, I don't know what spec to get. 2.0? 3.0? I want to make sure I can get the fastest charging possible and also have AA compatibility. Also something thin, the Amazon basics USB-C To USB-A for example is very thin and works perfectly with AA. I just need C to C though.

Hmmm I've never had issues with Anker for my usage samples... 3.0 I think would be best... Let's see if someone here can comment on experience with AA

I'm kind of annoyed Samsung decided to limit request of AKG Headphones for Note 20/20 Ultra, I tried giving them a chat hoping that I could get a free pair. But unfortunately it was a no go. I've seen some success stories claiming if I simply go through the website that they will then send a pair.

I'm curious... have any Fold 2 owners tried to request a free pair of AKG Headphones? I use Bluetooth headphones for the most part, but sometimes I wouldn't mind using wired in some cases.

Thanks! I did it earlier today.. they gave me a confirmation number, but there's no way to reference that number anywhere on Samsung websites.

Whats the estimated time of when you received the headphones?

S pen on fold 3 seems like a lock at this point.. And guessing will fit like the note line.

On this display an s pen really could make this a productivity device even more so

If it does come next year. I'll be happy for those who get it, but I'll pass up on it... I'm sure the 2nd iteration of S-Pen support will be improved.
