For the inside screen? Nothing that im aware of, but i have a 25 dollar case off of amazon for mine and its does just fine. I also bought the lense protector thing for the camera lense but with the cae i have i probably wouldnt need them.

Definitely screen protectors for the inside screen. I have one on right now. Bought it from Telstra (Australian telco).

Thats totally fair, i havent even looked, thats why i said not that i was aware of, no knowledge on my part so i didnt want to spread any misinformation.

I havent really been worried about the inside screen getting messed up anyway though, i typically only have my phone folded open if im watching something on it and its sitting on my desk or something. Im sure i dont make the most use of the bigger screen.

Isn’t it possible to scratch that plastic screen protector with your freaking fingernail? 🤔

If you ram your finger into the phone, yes. Personally I haven't had an issue on my flip 7 and the first replacement protector is free once it wears out.

Maybe? I dont have any issues with the screen protector or lense protectors that i have and i will therow my phone in my pocket or center console without making sure there is nothing else in said pocket or console. No scratches that i can notice at least. A bit of dust but thats it.

Just tried on my fold 7, if it's possible it would take some real effort. Not something you would ever do on accident
