Foldables are sleek, futuristic, and ultra-portable, but also more vulnerable than standard slab phones. That’s where SUPCASE comes in. We took our Z Flip7-ready UB Grip and UB Pro cases into real outdoor scenarios to test their survival skills. From trail drops to rocky campsites, here's how they held up when nature hit hard.

UB Grip for Z Flip7: Slim Meets Rugged

Scenario 1: Trail Flip Fumble

Dropped from pocket height during a hike, the Z Flip7 hit packed dirt and scattered stones.

  • Result: No cracks, no hinge damage.
  • Case Performance: Raised bezels and air-cushioned corners absorbed the hit. Textured grip kept it from sliding further.

Verdict: Minimalist look, maximum field performance.

Scenario 2: Rooftop Launch (Accidental, of Course)

Forgotten on the roof of a car. Took a 15mph tumble onto asphalt.

  • Result: Minor scuffs on the case. Flip7 was unharmed and fully functional.
  • Case Performance: Shock-absorbing shell kept cover display and camera safe.

Verdict: Your insurance policy against forgetfulness.

 

UB Pro for Z Flip7: Built for Impact, Designed to Flex

Scenario 1: Campsite Drop Zone

Dropped on jagged stone while folding the phone one-handed by the fire.

  • Result: No screen damage, no hinge issues.
  • Case Performance: Full hinge guard and reinforced corners did their job.

Verdict: A fortress disguised as a foldable case.

Scenario 2: Backpack Beatdown

Tossed in a hiking pack with a power bank, water bottle, and gear. Survived 8 hours of jostling.

  • Result: No scratches on the device or lens.
  • Case Performance: Built-in cover protection and anti-slip texture kept the Flip7 secure.

Verdict: Ideal for campers, climbers, and the chronically clumsy.
