Mine had to be replaced, but the reason is so weird! Every phone/tablet is designed with adhesive panels, these panels are designed to pop open if the battery expands. On most phones, this panel is the screen. On the Z Flip 3, the panels are actually the outer sides because fhe screen isn't rigid enough. The panel that my cover screen is attached to, just casually fell off! I work with fuel, so im guessing some residue worked its way into the adhesive somehow and caused it to release. Asurion decided to replace the whole phone, even though it was just the $10 of adhesive.

If the screen protector that is not supposed to come off actually comes off - then it’s not going strong xD

That's what I'm betting on. I think from the first Z Flip to the Z Flip 3 is was a great jump since it made it more accessible to the public and therefore more feedback from the general public. Motorola with their Razr+ is impressive and I'm curious how Samsung will respond.

Agree, it's a great phone. But after a year I finally dropped mine *just right* and it landed on the corner and snapped the metal hinge on the inside. Couldn't even open it without completely breaking the phone and ripping the screen out. So now I have a new phone

@MetalVII 11 ай бұрын

Yeah. My Wife’s Z4 has been he same problem. The only problem is that you can damage the screen taking this protector off because the actual screen itself is very soft and the original protector was machined on at the factory. Samsung have replaced the screen protector for us (FOC) but the wife has lost confidence in it and has gone back to iPhone.

One of the worst phones I've ever owned, 10 months in one of thr microphones has failed, the screen protector is all crispy and bubbly at the crease so I can't see 20% of my screen and now my battery won't charge as the phone is too cold! It will be going in for major repairs as still under warranty but I'm looking to get a new phone after this awful experience.
