The two-part smartphone case works by having one portion added onto the top and the other onto the bottom to allow for seamless opening multiple times per day. The hard case is made with plastic on the interior for enhanced stability, while the exterior is covered in [faux leather](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bellroy-venture-phone-case) to make it softer in the hand for users to enjoy. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip case provides essential protection, while still enabling a full range of motion for the latest generation smartphone.
