    Idk…glass has downsides too. You drop it and it can shatter. I remember when glass on phones first got big and I saw shattered iPhones everywhere. My brother’s iPhone has shattered back glass.

    Still to this day, I kind of wish plastic would make a come back in phones. For some reason every phone nowadays has to be coated in glass on all sides to feel more premium for some reason. Even the backside of the phone has it on devices now. It’s odd to me. Plastic housing is just so much more durable.

    I’ve been using my current foldable for 1.5 years and the inner screen is flawless. There are absolutely zero scratches. I wouldn’t say I baby the thing at all, although I also don’t use it like a gorilla. I just use it like a normal phone except I use some common sense things. Probably one of the biggest is just not having the soft screen exposed and unfolded while in a pocket or bag. I fold it up before I put it in a pocket.

      It’s hard enough to shatter victus glass that I legitimately don’t care about this anymore and would rather have the scratch resistance, maybe making it that shatter resistant and also foldable is impossible, in which case I would just not get a foldable
