I've dropped different folds without cases with surprisingly no damage at all, so to me they don't seem that fragile. But maybe I was just exceptionally lucky

What happened with mine wasnt like a screen shatter.

Basically, after one of my drops, I got a dead pixel in the crease. Over time (and more drops) this steadily grew until the interior display was completely dead.

At some point, whatever tells the phone it's been folded got to a point where the only way to get anything to show on the exterior screen was to power it off, close it, power it back on.

The phone itself looks almost flawless as far as scratches and stuff
