Must-have accessories for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Z Flip 3

Add as a preferred source on Google

These days, smartphones don’t ship with a ton of goodies packed in the box; long gone are the days of free earbuds and chargers. Today, you’re mostly on your own. Aside from the phone itself, you’re going to need some basic things if you bought a Galaxy Z Flip 3 or a Z Fold 3 for yourself or a loved one. Samsung and its various vendor friends offer some smart accessories for its newest foldable phones. Here are some of the items to consider for the full functionality of the Samsung Galaxy Fold or Flip.

The Qi Wireless Car Charger — featuring 15W fast wireless charging — combines an air vent phone holder with a wireless car charger. Its intelligent chip protects your phone from overcharging, going over current, short-circuiting, and overheating. Extra-wide clips hold the Z Fold3 tightly in place as you drive. After you place the phone, the phone holder automatically clamps and starts charging. Press the button on the body, and the phone holder releases the clamp.  You can mount the phone holder on your dashboard, air vent, or on the window. Padded with soft non-slip and shock absorption silicone, the clips protect the car vents and your phone from scratches and keep it stable. You can operate it safely with a single hand via a 360-degree rotatable ball.

The soft-touch silicone cover has a smooth but grippy feel that protects your Z Flip folding phone. A back strap keeps the phone securely on your hand while imparting some street style to the handset. The easy grip is made even more comfortable with the soft material, while the matte finish enhances the softness and augments its non-bulky, minimalist style. Choose your case’s hue to match your phone — or go bold. The case’s built-in hand strap pops with contrasting colors.

Anker, another trusted name in smartphone tech, now offers its signature Power 3.0 universal high-speed charger to the new generation of Samsung foldable phones.  The charger is compatible with nearly any device via its 60W USB-C power 3.0 port, but it is some 35% smaller than traditional chargers because it uses gallium nitride (Gann) instead of silicon. This power port Atom III 60W wall charger comes by itself, so you’ll have to supply your own cable.
