Benks Armor Grid Cases for Galaxy Z Fold 8 and 8 Ultra

Quick summary: Benks makes some of my favorite cases, and the Armor Grid Pro and Armor Grid Air for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Fold 8 Ultra are thin, Kevlar and magnetic. They come with a glass screen protector in the box. This video was made in cooperation with Benks. Use code GREGGLESTV for a discount.

What’s in the box

Either case comes with a glass screen protector for the cover display and everything you need to install it: a bracket, wipes and stickers. You also get extra adhesive in case you remove and reapply the case.

Kevlar and magnets

The cases are super thin, very light and made of Kevlar, the same material I had in my motorcycle jacket. Magnets are built in, so magnetic charging, grips and other MagSafe accessories work great. The grip I tested held on really strongly. The cases also come in creative colors and designs, not just plain black or blue.

Pro vs Air

• Armor Grid Pro: a bit more drop protection and a little bulkier, but not by much.
• Armor Grid Air: slimmer, with exposed buttons that are easy to press.

Both cover the hinge with a piece that slides over as you open the phone, so it’s protected without getting in the way.

Protection

There’s a raised lip around the cameras, so if you drop the phone on its back, the case takes the hit. Protection goes all the way around, with easy access for charging cables. All the mic and speaker holes line up.

Install

Snap the back on, peel the adhesive on the front piece and snap it on. Because the glass comes with the case, the two are made to fit together and the protector won’t lift.

Verdict

They feel really premium and high quality. I’m not just saying that because it’s sponsored. I literally love these cases.
