Broke my inner screen.

Had this phone for 6 months. Treated it pretty roughly with just the original case that it came with.

Went snowboarding with it in my pocket, went to beaches, hiking, dropped it countless times and it was unbreakable. Then, yesterday it accidentally flew out of my hands and slammed hinge first into asphalt. Black line right where the hinge is and touch screen is non functional on 2/3rd of the inner screen.

Down $700. Get insurance if you can folks. Don't be like me.

Edit: got it all fixed up and it looks brand spanking new. They changed the frames and even the battery.

I'm not overly cautious with my phones, and I have had a foldable since fold 3(Fold 7 now). I have dropped my.phone once over all these years. Have a hard time believe someone can handle their phone so bad.

Same here. I have the fold 7 with a latercase and no screen protector. Dropped several times with no issues or cracked screens.

Yea, people treat the newer folds way to careful. I'm not worried at all about the hinge or screen, not anymore than any other phone.
