QOL for Galaxy Z-Fold 2 owners

[Cooler running]

Hey,

After reading the Galaxy fold thread for a few months ago, I'm interested in how it's going for the peeps who decided to buy one.

Do you/can you have screen protectors? Do cases work well? Does it scratch/blemish easily?

I'm in the market for a new fancy bit of tech now, given that old reliable has a cracked screen and my RTX 3080 fund is burning a hole in my pocket.
Am genuinely interested in any advice or QOL issues or advantages you've found coming from a "regular" smartphone. Given that I'm a bit of a clumsy flummox, I don't want to get in over my head with the delicacy factor.

Thanks

I've tried four or five cases now and they've all been total garbage

Have you tied the official Samsung case? Assuming it doesn't come in the box with it.

Overall, I'd happily recommend one if you can get a good deal or a decent trade-in (but I don't think they're worth the RRP).

I've seen them going for around £1400 new, which to me is a more reasonable than RRP.
At what point do you think the level of innovation represents acceptable value for money?

I still find the Fold 2 a joy to use, decent specs all round and a competent camera.

Personally I think around £1000 would be fair (but then I think the phones that currently cost around a £1k are horribly overpriced).

I think I'm largely convinced, what I might do is keep a look out for some deals on lightly used or like new phones, and see if I can get one below the 1k mark.

I would have just pulled the trigger immediately if there wasn't some question concerning the value for money aspect.

Thanks for that guys.
