PITAKA Galaxy Z Fold 7 Case Full Review (2025)

We’ve reached the seventh generation of Samsung’s foldables, and it’s remarkable to see how far the lineup has come. A new generation of the Z Fold comes with a new generation of thin phone cases we all sign up for.

The PITAKA Galaxy Z Fold 7 case has carved a niche in the thin-case market with its aerospace-grade aramid fiber builds and refined woven designs. We are excited to put this to the test, examining its design choices, daily usability, strengths, and shortcomings closely.

Now, we’re not here to compare the PITAKA directly with our own  ThinBorne Galaxy Z Fold 7 case. The goal of this review is to provide a fair insight into whether it’s worth the price for Fold 7 owners.

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 itself is a piece of hardware that turns heads. Reviewers, such as Droid Life, noted that its most significant “wow factor” is its thinness. People have seen foldables before, but when this one comes out in public, it still gets reactions.

Unlike bulkier protectors that can change how the Fold feels, PITAKA Galaxy Z Fold 7 case aims to preserve the phone’s slim profile while adding a basic layer of protection.

Its aramid fiber construction provides scratch resistance and some extra strength, all while remaining light enough that the phone itself still feels central. In short, it offers coverage without making the case the main feature.

Here are the key specifications:

• Made from aramid fiber, a material known for being lightweight and strong

• Measures around 0.6 mm in thickness, keeping a slim device profile

• Amber Magnet Film integrated for MagSafe compatibility

• Available in woven black and Fusion Weaving designs such as Sunset and Moonrise

• Scratch-resistant matte finish with added grip

• Raised edge around the camera for surface protection

On paper, it looks well-suited for users who want scratch resistance and magnetic accessory support without adding bulk. But how does it hold up in real use?

The PITAKA Galaxy Z Fold 7 case feels exceptionally light. The company has worked with aramid fiber for years, and the material performs as expected here. The case blends in with the phone rather than changing its overall feel. Some users even compare it to a thin protective skin more than a standard case.

The case emphasizes a simple, low-profile look. It doesn’t add unnecessary features or bulk, keeping the Fold 7’s form intact. The aramid fiber finish gives a matte texture with a subtle weave pattern, while Fusion Weaving options provide additional color choices without affecting durability.

The case incorporates PITAKA’s Amber Magnet Film, embedding the magnetic ring directly into the aramid fiber. This allows magnetic accessories to attach securely while maintaining the case’s thin profile. It remains one of the slimmer MagSafe-compatible cases available for the Fold 7.

Because the magnets are built in rather than layered on, the case stays slim and lightweight. This makes it one of the thinnest MagSafe-compatible options aside from our ThinBorne Galaxy Z Fold 7 case.

In addition to the standard black weave, PITAKA offers versions with integrated color threads. Options like Sunset, with red and gold tones, and Moonrise, with cooler blues and purples, give users more variety in appearance. These additions change the look without altering the lightweight design.

Wireless charging works reliably with this case. Its slim construction ensures that the Fold 7’s charging coil stays aligned with the pad, avoiding the interference that bulkier cases can cause. Both Qi and MagSafe charging function as expected, with no need to remove the case for routine charging.

PITAKA’s MagEZ for the Fold 7 comes with notable trade-offs that may be deal-breakers depending on your needs.

Here are some areas that PITAKA needs improvement:

While the aramid fiber construction does a good job at preventing scratches and surface wear, it doesn’t provide much impact absorption. If your Fold 7 slips from pocket height onto tile or concrete, you’ll likely avoid cosmetic damage, but a hard corner or hinge impact could still be risky.

One of the biggest compromises with PITAKA’s minimalist design is the lack of hinge protection. The hinge is the most delicate part of the Galaxy Z Fold 7, and while PITAKA covers the back and sides well, the hinge area is left completely exposed. For a phone this expensive, that omission stands out.

In many PITAKA models, the front panel isn’t part of the standard package. That leaves the expensive outer screen exposed unless you buy an additional front cover or rely on a separate screen protector. For a case in this price range, it feels like a missed opportunity.

Some longtime PITAKA users have pointed out the same concern. While the back cover looks premium and fits well, the lack of a hinge and front protection makes the case feel incomplete.

The PITAKA Galaxy Z Fold 7 case is constructed from aramid fiber, which impressively resists scratches. However, the downside of its smooth matte finish is that it shows fingerprints and natural oils easily, especially on darker colorways. Even light handling can leave visible smudges across the surface. Over time, this can dull the clean, high-end look that makes PITAKA cases so appealing in the first place.

If you like the concept of a thin case but want more functionality, the  ThinBorne Galaxy Z Fold 7 case is one of the strongest alternatives to PITAKA. Like PITAKA, it focuses on an ultra-slim, lightweight profile that preserves the Fold 7’s sleek design. Additionally, it utilizes aerospace-grade 600D aramid fiber for enhanced durability.

Key highlights of the ThinBorne case include:

• Aerospace-grade 600D aramid fiber for lightweight strength and scratch resistance

• Unlike the PITAKA cover, the ThinBorne case includes a protective front cover

• Seamless MagSafe integration without adhesive rings, preserving thinness and reliability

• Textured anti-slip surface that improves grip compared to smoother minimalist cases

• Ultra-slim profile that retains the Fold 7’s original feel while adding protection

In short, ThinBorne delivers the same featherweight feel as PITAKA but adds minor improvements that make everyday use easier. For Fold 7 owners who want both minimalism and practicality, it’s a thin case worth serious consideration.

The PITAKA Galaxy Z Fold 7 case is an elegant option for those who value slimness, style, and MagSafe functionality above all else. If you want the same thin, maybe even better, lightweight feel but with more everyday usability, the ThinBorne Galaxy Z Fold 7 thin phone case deserves serious consideration. It not only delivers integrated MagSafe magnets and a firmer grip but also utilizes aerospace-grade aramid fiber with a refined texture, making the Fold easier to handle.
