Accessories Samsung Fold 4 S pen

[wjbzone]

Just upgraded from a Samsung Note9 to the Fold4. I didn't know there is a S Pen Fold Edition vs a S Pen Pro. The Fold edition S pen that came with the case, does not have functions the Note9 S Pen has. I used the S pen button to take pictures on the Note9. The Fold Edition button will not operate the camera. I am looking at getting the Pro S pen, but looks like it will not fit the case I bought with the Fold4. Lookiing for a case that will hold the Fold4 and the S Pen Pro. Have not found one yet. Anyone know of a case that will hold the Fold4 and the S pen Pro?

Haven't seen one mostly because the S pen pro is actually taller than the phone itself so it would stick out of the top or the bottom. You could probably rig something yourself but it won't solve the height issue. Samsung should really make an S pen that functions like the other bluetooth/air gesture type S pens for the Fold.

They have not made a case for the S-Pen Pro for Fold 3 either. and as suggested by @major2112 the S-Pen Pro is pretty big. i wish the Note's S-pen would work on our z folds, but that is not the case unfortunately. maybe get one of those belt clip type cases. i have seen them have a stylus holder that the s-pen pro might fit in. i do not own the pro, but i don't mind the regular s-pen on my fold 3. and i could not justify having such a huge pen with no way of storing it neatly.

Yeah, there's no way the Pro would fit in a phone case. For the few Bluetooth functions I used on the Note's S Pen, it just wasn't worth a $100 for a Pen I'd have to lug around separately. The Fold Edition has a special spring-loaded tip to act as a shock absorber, putting less pressure on the screen. The nibs are much softer, too. Hopefully Samsung will at least figure out how to fit the S Pen into the Fold 5. That will be a huge step.

I found an interesting article on why the Fold 4 doesn't have a built-in S Pen... where would you put it?
