A spokesman for Spigen said the products would be ready in a few weeks and that pending orders would open soon. The cases are expected to be available in mid-May, which is even earlier than June 13, when AT & T claims to ship Galaxy Fold pre-orders. Everyone guesses when and if the phone will be delivered, but Spigen does not seem to worry:
