I have something similar
Interesting. So, it only bends from the base? I like how that looks, what do you use it with? I've been looking all over Amazon trying to find some magsafe style stand that can bend in various angles, but something tall as well... had to be solid, nothing flimsy.
I bought one tall stand and it wasn't good at all, returned it for this one.
Can you not get some nice neoprene blocks in those feet holders ?
I really liked the look of the Samsung tripod but it only works on the S23 gadget case

Well, that sounds like a good idea too! I‘ll look into it..
That’s one thing about Samsung.. they really put forth an effort into making accessories for their products!
BREAKING: One UI 5.1.1 update beta access live for Galaxy Z Fold 4!
We have some exciting news for Galaxy Z Fold 4 fans! Samsung has just started inviting Galaxy Z Fold 4 ...
Unfortunately it's South Korea only, but according to the notes... Samsung has improved multitasking and enhanced taskbar options.
Not sure when this was added, but this feature reminds me of the 3 dots that Apple has for the iPad.

My Z Fold 4 has developed a clicking noise when I tap the front screen towards the right hand side around halfway down. It is the screen and not the frame because I can recreate it whether the main screen is open or closed. Any ideas? The phone has never been dropped.
Are you sure it's not your fingernail creating the sound? Are you saying each tap you make triggers a click sound from the speaker or a mechanical click as if something is loose or rattling? I'm not experiencing it on my Fold 4 and I've dropped it several times unfortunately.
If I lightly press the screen with the pad of my finger it clicks and not from the speaker .
I know you said it's not the frame, but could it be the phone case (assuming you have one)? So strange for the front glass display to flex and click. Let us know when you figure out the cause.
Upon closer inspection it does only do this when folded closed and only on the right (RHS) of the display. So it would appear to be something to do with the framework after all.

Sounds like the screen is delaminated/unglued to the parts behind and flexing, can you physically see the flex where you press ?
Thar's what I was convinced it was but upon closer inspection it doesn't appear to be the case. When I unfold the device and press down on the front display it doesn't click. It only does it when the device is folded which would rule out the front glass being delaminated. I am not 100% sure what exactly is making the noise. Further testing is required...
For some reason my phone didn't automatically download the June update.
Seems like the photo quality has improved a lot, especially since I downloaded camera assistant.

I'm at the 10-month mark and just noticed the native inner screen protector is separating.
Samsung has approved a local repair shop to replace the screen protector but I think I may just order some from Amazon and do it myself.
A little surprised to see it happen this early but it's not really noticeable with full screen content. Still, I expect it will continue to spread. Part of me is waiting for better promos to see if it makes sense to upgrade to the Fold 5 and the new thinner hinge and slim S Pen that now fits flat with the Fold 5 cover case.
The phone has been great though. Love it for work productivity and content consumption. Battery life still gets me through a full day from 7am until 11pm with 15-20% left. Had it with me on international trips, recording video in the rain, at the beach, on a kayak. Easily my favorite phone. Don't need to upgrade at all, but you know how it is when the next shiny version comes out.

I had mine replaced a few weeks back.
Ubreakifx did a good job, and it was a pretty painless process.
However the issues I had with the care + website to book the appointment were a bit worrying. It was impossible to confirm the appointment through a browser on the phone, or on my PC. I ended up just throwing in the towel, and calling the store.
After 11 months, my Fold 4 no longer opens completely flat. Had this with my Fold 2.
On top of that, the screen protector has peeled amd the screen has a small hairline crack in the middle down the crease.
It is with Samsung right now being repaired.
I think I am done with foldables until they get more reliable.

Oh wow, sorry to hear things are that bad. Did something get into the hinge that prevents it from opening flat? My Fold 4 has been great so far, coming up on 11 months. I was tempted to upgrade to the Fold 5, but it really doesn't make sense to do so. I am happy to hold onto the Fold 4 for another year and can't see myself going back to a regular slab phone, but I can see how your Fold2/Fold4 experience would shake a person's trust in foldables.
Yeah, I took mine off when my Fold 4 started pealing. I could head to Best Buy and get a new screen protector… haven’t decided when I should get it done.
I think pocket dust etc gets into the hinge over time and causes the hinge to fail.
No obvious object got stuck.
I am just glad Samsung accepted the repair as there are many stories that Samsung are refusing the repair if there is a slight scratch on the hinge.
I may look at the Fold 6 if it comes with full dust resistance.
Here in Thailand and Malaysia you get 2 free screen protectors replacements per year
But if it starts to propagate down the crease my advice is to remove it as it causes differential stress between protector and main screen and may make a simple job much worse
Got my repaired phone back today.
The issue was the brushes in the hinge failing and getting stuck in the hinge mechanism. The brushes that aim to stop dust getting in are actually glued inside the phone. Over time the glue weakened and the brush strands interfered with the folding of the phone.
Looks like it is a case of when this glue attaching the brush fails rather than if.
