>and I don't use the S-Pen at all, because it's impractical to carry around,
Have you tried this case? It's the best for carrying your S-Pen:
If you don't mind having a bigger phone, I have LOVED this case for my S-Pen. I can't imagine going back to having this phone without it: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0995WPCXJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Heck, yesterday I was ordering food online with my wife. We downloaded their PDF menu, opened it in Samsung Notes, and everyone in the car circled what they wanted with the pen. 10/10 - just one of many times this thing has proven useful

You can access it relatively easily folded, and super easy unfolded. This case has me open up the device a lot more since it's easier to do for some reason. I absolutely hate cases on phones and have had no case or screen protectors on my phones for years (ripped off the Fold 2 screen protectors after a week), but this the first case that offers enough functionality, and doesn't impede as much, for me to use it.
I purchase a Fold 3 as my personal/work phone, and I can never go back. I ended up getting this case and the S-Pen: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0995WPCXJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I travel a lot for work and have to run sales/discovery meetings. At a work conference two weeks ago, I was able to do mini-sales demos of a Windows Desktop platform from Figma on-the-fly from my phone, could flip through a sales slide-deck, and then switch into a virtual note-pad effortlessly to take notes/get contact info. I never even turned on my laptop for the entire week. I can't imagine how much of a pain in the ass it would have been without this phone.
I think this phone alone helped me close on my largest client yet. Easily worth the full price I paid at launch.
You can file that money under the "lessons learned" category. If you ever do get your product it will be complete garbage. They will not refund you. I tried to get my money back through Paypal but apparently being trash doesn't fall under "not as described." So I will no longer use Paypal to pay for things. Cocurel is supposedly sending me a new one but I doubt I'll ever see it or it will just go in the recycling like the first one. This case on Amazon is the best I've had for either my Fold 2 or 3. Spigen's case are even more expensive but worth it especially if you have an s pen. Plus, if you don't like it you can return it and get a refund.
If you are into the S-Pen life, I'm loving this one: https://www.amazon.com/Spigen-Thin-Designed-Galaxy-Fold/dp/B0995WPCXJ?pd_rd_w=3imnQ&pf_rd_p=cf1a5a84-8a64-4d2b-b13a-eedb7e66da7d&pf_rd_r=FGH6V85GSHJ0SC2XBX3R&pd_rd_r=b67c14ae-1728-4286-8d43-5b16b764deec&pd_rd_wg=r0uOk&pd_rd_i=B...
I ended up switching away from my the leather flip case to the Spigen Thin Fit P. I also liked the extra space provided by the flip case and the thin fit also has that extra space by putting the slide in for the pen there. I was worried that I would not like the wide of the phone having the extra bit when closed but it has not bothered me at all. I was even able to fit it into my Gamesir X2 with the case on.
I ordered this case from the Amazon US website (I'm in the UK myself) on the 13th October. Even though he had an estimated delivery window of 8th-22nd November, it arrived on the 27th October. Without a doubt I heavily recommend this case for the Fold3 if you want to have the S Pen with your phone at all times.
I have since noticed, today in fact, that the case has now been put up on Amazon UK:

I ordered it from Amazon as soon as it came out, on September 9th and got it a month later, today. It was cheaper on Amazon than on Spigen's website. Its back ordered now (available this month end) but better to order and wait than to wait until it becomes available (because it may go out of stock again):

np glad i was able to help, FYI though, spigen is making its own s-pen case. im probably going to swap my setup to utilize the Neo front cover with the flap back cover, so if that sounds interesting to you maybe hold off. the neo case is in pre order right now
There are a couple of other threads about this new Spigen case.
Don't order from Spigen though, head to (US) Amazon for a big price difference ($44.99)!
Would it work with spigen thin fit P case? It has a pen slot which Id want to have oriented downwards so I can use USB
Yeah I do, no problems. I use this case:

Doesn't interfere with wireless charging at all either.

I also used this car mount with the gooseneck off of this other car mount (already had it for a long time prior, and the suction cup that comes with it is TERRIBLE) and it's perfect

Spigen Thin Fit P Case Compatible with Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G - Black
​
Ive had this for 2 weeks or so now , it sticks to the phone but has been very strong and is made of a nice rubbery plastic thats hard.
Weird thing about it is that the pen sits the the right of the front screen when closed meaning its just a tad awkward to use thumb print but it never fails , just feels weird rubbing your thumb up against a lip to touch volume and power.
This is the case I just purchased but it's out of stock and has like a 20 day delivery time ATM
​
It has great reviews and apparently the pen holder help open up the phone easier.

I got mine 2 weeks ago and love it. All the buttons and functions are easily accessible, it's sleek and low profile, and it holds the pen well.

The screen protector is technically removable but you really should not do it. Also the only good spen case I have found was this one.

So interesting thing I discovered with the Spigen Neo Hybrid Kickstand and the Spigen Thin Fit S-pen case.... they fit. They actually fit pretty well. It also lies completely flat on the table with NO wabeling. Unfortunately, as this is too bulky for me, I'll probably end up sticking with the Samsung Aramid case until something else comes out (fingers crossed...)
