Samsung’s latest foldables may be thinner and sturdier than their predecessors, though none of these refinements matters a lot if you’re planning on slapping a thick protective cover on them. But considering how the lineup starts from $1,200 and even crosses the $2,000 mark, it makes sense to get a case. This is where Dbrand comes in.

It has just launched its Grip cases for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, Galaxy Z Fold 8, and Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, giving buyers a way to protect Samsung’s newest foldables without wrapping them in a dull slab of black plastic. Better yet, Digital Trends readers can currently save 15% on all three cases using the discount code “DIGITALTRENDS15“.

The exclusive offer began on Wednesday, July 22, and remains available through the end of Sunday, July 26.

Protection from all sides for your new foldable

Foldable phones introduce another expensive weak point that conventional cases often leave exposed, which is the hinge. Dbrand’s Grip cases cover the hinge alongside the sides and rear of each device. The company also advertises military-grade impact resistance along with raised camera protection and a chamfered front lip that keeps the display accessible for gesture navigation. The best part? The grip case measures just 2mm while offering all of that coverage.

The exterior uses thousands of microscopic textured dots to make the phone easier to hold, while integrated magnets add compatibility with MagSafe accessories. This means you can use magnetic chargers, stands, wallets, and mounts without attaching a separate magnetic ring to the phone, similar to iPhones. The Galaxy Z Flip 8 version also includes tactile buttons and additional grip strips along its sides, which should help when opening and closing the smaller clamshell phone one-handed.

Dozens of designs to choose from

The Grip starts at $54.90 for finishes such as Matte Black, Matte White, Swarm, Matrix, Black Camo, and White Marble. Applying the Digital Trends code brings that starting price down to approximately $46.67 before taxes and shipping.

More elaborate designs, including Glow Circuit, Teardown, X-Ray, Area 51, Cosmic Orange, and Cotton Candy, are listed at $59.90, dropping to around $50.92 with the discount. Genuine leather options cost $69.90 and fall to approximately $59.42 after the code is applied.

The same broad selection is available across Samsung’s premium foldable lineup, which you can check out below:

So buyers get plenty of options to choose from. You can get something understated, brightly colored, translucent, patterned, or covered in genuine leather while retaining the same protective case underneath.

Apple reportedly plans to launch a Klarna-backed financing program next week that will let you pay off an iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple Watch in monthly installments over two to three years. While Apple hasn't shared any details about the rumored "Apple Upgrade" program yet, code spotted in an iOS 27 beta release suggests the company has already built a system to deal with customers who fall behind on payments.

Foldable phones may soon get apps that fit their screens more naturally
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra

Samsung's latest Galaxy Unpacked event wasn't just about new hardware. Alongside the Galaxy Z Fold8, Galaxy Z Flip8 and new Galaxy Watch lineup, Google used the occasion to announce a series of updates aimed at Android developers, encouraging them to optimize apps for a growing range of foldable devices and wearable form factors.

The guidance focuses on one challenge that has become increasingly relevant as foldables evolve: building apps that work seamlessly across different screen sizes, aspect ratios and device postures. With the Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopting a wider, landscape-first display, Google says developers can no longer assume every Android phone follows the traditional portrait-first design philosophy.

Google selfie video verify

For nearly half a decade, Google has been trying to transition users away from the mess of unsafe (and easy-to-guess) passwords. First came hardware keys (like those made by YuBiCo) and then came the password-less login system called Passkeys that enabled biometric sign-ins, too. Now, Google wants you to verify your identity with a selfie video, somewhat like we use Face ID to sign in for services on an iPhone or iPad. 

“Selfie video is a new way to get into your account, giving you more options if you’re ever locked out or don’t have access to your usual phone or computer,” says the company. Google is pushing selfie videos as a secure backup login option, especially in scenarios when you don’t have access to your trusted device and recovering a lost password is not feasible.
