Here's what the protective cases for Galaxy Fold will look like

Samsung recently unveiled its first foldable smartphone - the Galaxy Fold. This smartphone carries a price tag of $1,980 making it a luxury item. Well, if you are spending that much money on a smartphone, you might also want to spend a bit more and get a protective case to prevent any damage to it. Popular case maker Spigen has shared renders of its protective cases for the Galaxy Fold giving us a glimpse into the foldable future.

Spigen's cases for Galaxy Fold will come in three models - Tough Armor, Thin Fit, and Ultra Hybrid. These cases will be made out of silicone and plastic materials, and will cost around $20. That's not a lot of money if you have already spent almost $2,000 on a smartphone.

These cases will have similar designs and will protect the bezels around the 4.6-inch display that sits on the outer cover. Needless to say, the cases will also have cut-outs for microphone, buttons, cameras, and ports.

However, what's interesting to see is how these cases will cover the phone as it relies on a hinging mechanism to fold and unfold. Moreover, the material used should not only be strong but should also be flexible enough - for obvious reasons.

The Galaxy Fold will be available for purchase sometime in Q2 2019, so we will see these cases go on sale around the same time period.
