are we gonna get into the more folds = better logic now?

Can't wait to go full circle (literally) and have a fully flexible scroll phone 📜

[-] Opisek@lemmy.world 6 points 11 hours ago

Oh I want to open a scroll like that dramatically

You laugh, but there are some OLEDs out there that can do it. Not scaled down to phone size yet, though.

I'm just waiting for someone to make a shirt out of those so I can have sick ass animated designs.

I think this video is reposted but there's this which is a phone sized flexible OLED 'trading card' type thing:

They've been putting super flexible screens in phones for years. They're usually just sandwiched in glass for protection.

That's how we got all those curved bezelless displays.

that's interesting! I didn't know that, thanks!

[-] CaptainBlagbird@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

Yeah I know, and am actually semi-serious xD

Phone case manufacturers just now figuring out good design for "Traditional" foldy devices

Source? I have a folding phone and every case I've seen or used is super frustrating

[-] cm0002@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago

Which one? I have a Poetic Spartan for my Pixel 9 pro fold and it's been fantastic, I don't even use the stupid adhesive strips lol

[-] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 2 points 18 hours ago

9 Fold also. The case I have had the same basic design as the Poetic Spartan, and the hinge feels like it's going to break sooner or later

[-] cm0002@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

Ah, you should pickup a Poetic, I've been using them for years now, long before foldy phones. This case is absolutely solid and it's taken and protected on at least 10 falls so far lol

And the hinge is solid to, I tend to play with the hinge by holding it and let the heavy part of the phone flap around whenever I get bored, so it's definitely of high quality

No sane person buys a foldy phone, unless they completely fix the issue of it breaking because it got folded.

There are two types of people

  1. People who see phone as a tool to get things done, tools should be strong and can withstand wear and tear
  2. People who see phone as prized possession, they don't mind spending extra effort to ensure phone is treated nicely.

In my experience people who love folding phones have habit of taking care of their phones that no one is sitting on it on the couch, that keys are not in the same pocket as phone, etc etc

Then there are people like me who don't want to bother with taking care of a phone. And we hate folding phones. I like that sometimes my phone is on bed and I am sleeping I don't have to worry about what if i roll onto my phone in my sleep. I know my phone will live.

2 years on a foldable with no broken screens. It's been a few years from the cracked screens.

[-] cujo255@sh.itjust.works 3 points 20 hours ago

Anecdotal of course, but my flip phone has been great for mental ver a year, and my friend has had his for a couple, but ymmv

Pretty soon we're going to be carrying cubes in our pockets

[-] mlg@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago

Cases are for sckrubs, you already have a clamshell that protects your device.

Not as protected as a DS, but good enough.
