A perfect go-to if all you need is somewhere to put your S Pen
$69.99

The S Pen for the Galaxy Z Fold 4 might be the perfect accessory for such a large-screened device, but if there’s one major issue with it, it’s the fact that the Z Fold 4 doesn’t give you somewhere to store it when you’re done using it. If that’s a top priority for you while shopping for a new case, you’ll want to check out Spigen’s excellent Thin Fit P case. Not only is it thin and gives you extra drop protection, but it also tacks on a slot for the S Pen right on the side.
