Galaxy Z flip 3 turning off when folded and not on charger.

Hello I'm having two issues with my Samsung galaxy Z Flip 3. I've only had the phone 5 months now and the screen cover is starting to crack at the fold and there is a lifted spot on the right have side that I can feel and hear make a slight popping sound when I move my finger over it. Second issue is the phone now shuts off when I fold it unless it is hooked to it's charger. I've done a wipe and factory reset and the problem was not fixed. At this point the phone is unusable as intended. What are my options?

I would suggest to visit a Samsung Experience Store or Samsung Service Centre for them to have hands on with the phone to assess it @Ajaselaphoto 

I wish you all the best.
