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.

I went hands-on with Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra. It’s peak foldable in an old garb. 
It may not look like a fresh start, but underneath the familiar chassis, there's plenty of thoughtful engineering tweaks.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra

Samsung just wrapped up its glitzy Unpacked event, revealing three new foldable phones and a pair of smartwatches. While my heart flutters for the pocketable Galaxy Z Fold 8, it’s the Ultra variant that truly feels like a refinement. Interestingly, when you look at the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra for the first time, you might mistake it for the Galaxy Z Fold 7.

Both of them look identical, and Samsung has not made any visible changes on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra for it to stand out from its predecessor. Color options, obviously, are fresh this time around, but there are a few changes that have been made under the hood, and they make this phone feel like a practically rewarding iteration.

Fold 8 Ultra vs. Fold 7: Upgrades across the board, but is the Ultra really worth the upgrade?
From battery capacity to camera hardware, here's a full comparison between the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Galaxy Z Fold 7, and whether upgrading actually makes sense.
Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra vs. Fold 7

Foldables age differently than regular smartphones or flagships. But why do I say this? It's the hinge and the foldable aspect that wins buyers over in the first place, not the specifications that get outdated every single year. That's precisely why anyone still carrying last year's Galaxy Z Fold 7 is asking a fair question today: does Samsung's freshly unveiled Z Fold 8 Ultra genuinely earn an upgrade, or does the Fold 7 still hold its ground?

And for shoppers who skipped last year's model entirely and are weighing their first foldable purchase, the calculus is totally different. A now-discounted Fold 7 might undercut the Ultra by a considerable sum, and that could matter to those looking to spend on the form factor, not the latest specifications.

Samsung makes it easier to run multiple apps on Galaxy Z Flip 8’s cover screen
Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 8 now runs 16 apps on its cover screen.

Samsung is finally making the Galaxy Z Flip's cover screen much more useful. With the new Galaxy Z Flip 8, you no longer have to rely on workarounds to access more apps without unfolding the phone. Instead, Samsung has expanded native support on the FlexWindow, allowing 16 apps to run directly on the outer display and also making it much easier to launch virtually any other app.

The update addresses one of the biggest complaints Flip users have had for years and brings Samsung up to the level of rivals like Motorola, whose Razr series has long offered a more flexible cover screen experience.
