Latercase Thin Galaxy Z Flip 7 Case Full Review (2025)

The Galaxy Z Flip 7, launched in mid-2025, introduced the most significant generational upgrade since the line was first introduced. What bought us most is just how slim and refined it looks in the hand. 

Foldables are already tricky to keep safe, and the Flip 7’s thinner build makes the right case even more important.

The Latercase Thin Galaxy Z Flip 7 case is one of the options for its “impossibly thin” aramid fiber build and minimalist design, with Lewis of Unbox Therapy lending credibility to the brand.

This review isn’t about comparing it to our own ThinBorne Galaxy Z Flip 7 case. It’s about giving Latercase a fair test to see if it delivers the slim protection and everyday usability it promises, and if it’s worth buying in 2025.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7, released in July 2025, represents one of the most significant advancements in Samsung’s flip phone line.

Android Central notes that while reviewers praised the refined design and upgraded cover display, they also pointed out that the Z Flip 7 still carries some compromises from earlier models, primarily in terms of durability and long-term protection. That makes choosing the proper case more important than ever.

The Latercase Thin Galaxy Z Flip 7 case aims to solve this by providing a featherlight layer of protection without sacrificing the phone’s pocket-friendly feel. Built from aramid fiber, it sticks to Latercase’s minimalist philosophy: guard against scratches and wear while keeping the device as slim as possible.

Here are its key features:

• Aramid fiber material, hand-laid and laser-cut for a precise fit

• Minimalist snap-on thin case measuring about 0.6mm and weighing 11 grams

• Coated with a durable matte finish that provides a textured grip

• Designed for basic everyday protection against scratches and scuffs

• Fully compatible with wireless charging without removing the case

• Lightweight construction that keeps the phone pocket-friendly

• Scratch-resistant surface with a slightly raised lip for camera protection

Below, we’ll let you know what we thought about it and also include some user experiences worth sharing.

Opinions on thin cases usually come down to one thing: the balance between protection and style. We’ve seen this debate before, but with the Latercase Thin Galaxy Z Flip 7 case, we were curious to see how it really performs in everyday use.

What stood out right away is that Latercase leans fully into minimalism. If your priority is keeping the Flip 7 as slim and sleek as possible, this case delivers a few strengths worth noting.

At just 0.6mm and 11 grams, this case feels almost invisible on the Flip 7. Foldables usually become bulky once you add a case, but Latercase keeps the phone close to its original feel, making it easy to slip in and out of your pocket.

The Latercase for the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is lighter than our ThinBorne case, which we highlight in our in-depth guide. The main reason is that we integrate built-in MagSafe-compatible magnets for accessory support, which naturally adds a bit more weight compared to Latercase’s minimalist approach.

Made from aramid fiber, the matte finish feels smooth but not slippery. Additionally, it features a durable matte finish that feels smooth in the hand while providing a subtle layer of grip. It helps reduce slips without being sticky, allowing the phone to slide easily in and out of pockets.

We appreciate the texture, which feels more premium than standard plastic shells, lending the case a refined and comfortable in-hand feel while also protecting the surface over time.

The Latercase for the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is built to cover both halves of the device, with raised edges around the camera to help shield one of the most vulnerable spots from scratches. Beyond its slim profile, the case also includes a durable matte coating that adds an extra layer of resistance against everyday scuffs and surface wear.

In daily use, we noticed that the finish holds up better than standard plastic shells, keeping the case looking clean and refined even after sliding it across desks or pulling it in and out of pockets.

Latercase is designed to snap precisely onto the Flip 7, utilizing adhesive strips to secure the front cover in place. The back cover fits perfectly without shifting, and in our experience, it stays put even with daily use. The front cover uses small adhesive strips to keep it steady, and while it takes a little extra care if you also have a screen protector, it holds well once applied.

We like the cutouts for the camera, ports, and speakers. Overall, the fit feels precise and solid, which is precisely what we expect from a case in this price range.

The Latercase for the Galaxy Z Flip 7 works smoothly with wireless charging, so there’s no need to remove the case. We tested it on a standard Qi pad, and the phone charged just as expected every time.

While it doesn’t include built-in MagSafe magnets like our ThinBorne Flip 7 case, we appreciate that it keeps things simple and reliable.

Although the Latercase Thin Galaxy Z Flip 7 case excels in slimness and style, there are a few areas where it falls short. Here are the main drawbacks.

Latercase prioritizes thinness over heavy-duty defense, which means its protection is limited when it comes to drops. Samsung itself points out that the Flip 7’s ultra-thin glass requires extra care, and this case is best suited for preventing surface wear, scratches, and small bumps rather than absorbing significant impact.

It did a good job keeping the phone safe from everyday scuffs, but if drop protection is a top priority, a thicker, shock-absorbing case would be the safer choice.

The case features a slightly raised bezel around the camera lenses, providing some protection when the phone is placed on a flat surface. However, because the bezel sits close to flush with the lenses, it doesn’t offer much clearance. This design tends to attract dust and lint around the camera area, making it inconvenient to clean.

The smooth matte finish can sometimes reveal fingerprints and light oil marks after regular handling. While this doesn’t affect grip or performance, it does mean the case needs occasional wiping to keep its clean look.

One of the Flip 7’s most exposed areas is the hinge, and this case does not cover it. Latercase clearly states in its product info that the two-piece snap-on build is meant to keep the case slim and lightweight, so the design is intentional. While this helps preserve the phone’s thin profile, it also means the hinge remains open to scratches and scuffs over time.

Unlike alternatives such as ThinBorne’s Flip 7 case, Latercase does not include integrated MagSafe magnets. Using items like wallets or magnetic car mounts requires adding a separate ring. While wireless charging still works reliably, some users note that aftermarket magnetic rings don’t always adhere well to the aramid fiber surface, which can take away from the clean, minimalist design.

If you’re looking for a case that maintains the same minimalist profile while adding the features many Flip 7 owners expect, the  ThinBorne Super Thin Galaxy Z Flip 7 case is the stronger option.

ThinBorne uses aerospace-grade 600D aramid fiber, the same material trusted in high-performance industries. At just 0.04 inches thin and 0.6 oz light, it feels nearly caseless while still enhancing grip with its carbon fiber texture.

On the other hand, ThinBorne is MagSafe-ready, allowing you to use chargers, wallets, and mounts without the need for a stick-on ring.

The Latercase Thin Galaxy Z Flip 7 case is a solid pick if your main goal is to keep your phone as slim and lightweight as possible. However, it falls short in terms of coverage and functionality. 

If you want a case that stays just as thin but adds MagSafe support and a textured grip, the ThinBorne Galaxy Z Flip 7 case is the stronger alternative. At ThinBorne, we offer the same thin phone case design but with added MagSafe compatibility and a textured finish for better grip.
