Mine did that a month after the warranty expired. Opened it one day and my lightly used Flip 3's factory installed screen protector came unstuck at the crease. Someone asked about using it in the cold which I never did. Got the replacement from the link below. Removed the old one and installed a new one and it looks better than ever. The jig in the kit made it a perfect installation in just a few minutes. Best of luck.

I have a Flip 3 and repaired my screen protector with this one...
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09JKYFQQC?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
the selling point for me is they give you two screen protectors, in case you mess up a installation (which I did since they updated instructions but don't tell you about them) but I installed the 2nd one fine and it looks exactly as if it was the stock screen protector.
I had to watch a tutorial video to install, but the instructions they gave me were either outdated or updated so I had to combine both to have a successful installation.
my first try I put the screen protector on backwards and touched the sticky part so I started all over with the 2nd one and boom it works and has been the same after a few days of use.
I'm very impressed and happy with the results.
If you don't get this screen protector make sure you get "TPU" material as well.
​
Good luck!
I have the same problem and ordered the White Stone Dome kit. Will install it tomorrow and update.

this. whitestone, manufacturer of 'dome glass' - polythene terephthalate (pet), probably recommended because the phone folds.
​
oh... right... something something.
This one with one of these attached.
i go this one a few months now. best protection, in my opinion - body and hinge. lil bulky, but if ya want all round... and a few colour options too.
I use a Ringke screen protector on my Zflip 3 after the OEM one split on the crease. I've had it for a couple of months and no problems. You get some bubbles when applying it, but they go away after a couple of days.
I've used this one for a couple of years and is compatible with my zflip3

I got something like the one in the link below. Basically it's a wireless square that fits on 1 half of the phone. You connect a small magnetic ring to an existing case and it sticks to the case.
I recommend this replacement for the default screen protector.
The one it comes with is hard plastic which is why it develops cracks. This one is more of a vinyl/gel consistency and seems to handle the seam much better, plus it comes with a protector for the exterior screen as well. Since it's softer it does show fingerprints more but you can always wipe them off.
Samsung technically suggests you have their official shop replace the protector with another one like the one it came with, but I am liking this third party one much more.
I installed my own 3rd party screen protector ON TOP OF the factory screen protector since the day I got the phone. I've replaced it once so far. If installed CORRECTLY, you will have a screen protector that's extremely clear, folds with no issue, and provides you some extra peace of mind.

Here's a us listing
vrs design terra guard and terra guard modern. bulkier, but complete hinge protection ('modern' is a tad slimmer/sleeker).
Hi, I have been using this one for a while. It's got 4500 mah. More than enough for a full charge. It's pretty small, has a built-in USB C port and works well with the Flip inside the pocket.

yeah sadly there aren't alot of variety in the cases like there would be for any other phone around but there differently are some good ones. try looking on aliexpress, etsy and amazon. Or you can go the same route im going and just design everything from scratch, buy some stickers or whatever on aliexpress. But there are a few people who do custom made z flip 3 cases. Heres a good case you can work with if your willing to do that https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09QHN5B75/ref=ox\_sc\_saved\_title\_1?smid=A3D5MIXZ5YW6VL&th=1
i have, and like, the terra guard (original). a tad bulky though. i recently got the 'modern' ... sleeker i.e. thinner, still with full hinge protection. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06X9RRTH8/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_Z0WRJQA742R6CJMERNPT

here is another option that I am using. Extremely light and thin cover that stays in place.

I am absolutely in love.live.. it feels quality, doesn't slip in my hands, and looks AMAZING.
This was a pain in the ass to install but once done properly has been fantastic. I still find myself cleaning it routinely but I'm paranoid of scratching the screen without it.

CoverScreen OS almost simulates a secondary OS on your Z Flip's cover screen with the following features:

Absolutely love this case. So slim but protective and has a built in Screen protector and the ring can open and hook onto a lanyard or handbag strap.
I've had mine for a few weeks and I love it as well. The case I got is the VRS design with the active multiclip. It's like an old pager case. case with clip.
I always use IQ Shield. It has self healing properties and is really easy to apply.

Yep. It's not a complete cover, but does the job. I have the spigen tough armor case and love it. This is what I ordered:

I just used the small cover screen protector and the lens protector. Both look good and don't cause any issue with my case.
