For those with Samsung folds (4,5,6) that want a solid phone case that has the ability to just barely stick on a magsafe sticker, look here. I'm in Taiwan but you guys can probably find it in America somewhere. It's a Korean brand.

I have dropped my phone from a moving motorcycle going 45mph and the phone was not damaged. I have used this brand case for 3 Fold generations.

The link goes to a Taiwan's ebay equivalent. No affiliate link. Just wanted to share my experience with a amazing case.

I like my phones like my katana: folded one bazillion times for superior durability

Can't wait to go full circle (literally) and have a fully flexible scroll phone 📜

Oh I want to open a scroll like that dramatically

You laugh, but there are some OLEDs out there that can do it. Not scaled down to phone size yet, though.

I'm just waiting for someone to make a shirt out of those so I can have sick ass animated designs.

I think this video is reposted but there's this which is a phone sized flexible OLED 'trading card' type thing:

They've been putting super flexible screens in phones for years. They're usually just sandwiched in glass for protection.

That's how we got all those curved bezelless displays.

that's interesting! I didn't know that, thanks!

[–] CaptainBlagbird 1 points 18 hours ago

Yeah I know, and am actually semi-serious xD

Phone case manufacturers just now figuring out good design for "Traditional" foldy devices

Source? I have a folding phone and every case I've seen or used is super frustrating

Which one? I have a Poetic Spartan for my Pixel 9 pro fold and it's been fantastic, I don't even use the stupid adhesive strips lol

No sane person buys a foldy phone, unless they completely fix the issue of it breaking because it got folded.

There are two types of people

  1. People who see phone as a tool to get things done, tools should be strong and can withstand wear and tear
  2. People who see phone as prized possession, they don't mind spending extra effort to ensure phone is treated nicely.

In my experience people who love folding phones have habit of taking care of their phones that no one is sitting on it on the couch, that keys are not in the same pocket as phone, etc etc

Then there are people like me who don't want to bother with taking care of a phone. And we hate folding phones. I like that sometimes my phone is on bed and I am sleeping I don't have to worry about what if i roll onto my phone in my sleep. I know my phone will live.

Who the hell keeps their phone in the same pocket as keys? 😱

New Samsung Origami phone. Each fold is a new dimension of value!

Cases are for sckrubs, you already have a clamshell that protects your device.

Not as protected as a DS, but good enough.

Glad we're finally moving away from the featureless black rectangle era, might even pick up a foldable once the price drops.
