Samsung Trademarks $99.99 Carbon Standing Case for Galaxy Z Fold 8 as July Launch Nears

3 articles · Updated · Android Authority · Jun 4

Summary

  • Trademark filings spotted by GalaxyClub indicate Samsung is preparing a “Carbon Standing Case” accessory for the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 8 and possibly the Z Fold 8 Ultra.
  • The accessory name matches a case Samsung already launched for the Galaxy Z Trifold, and the filings appeared in countries where that device was not officially sold, pointing to a wider rollout for the new foldables.
  • If Samsung reuses the Trifold design, the case would likely pair a carbon-fiber look with a rear kickstand, giving the Fold 8 line a premium stand case option.
  • The Trifold version sells for $99.99 in the US, offering the clearest pricing reference ahead of Samsung’s expected July unveiling of the Fold 8 phones and accessories.
