Nope, never scratched it at all. I've seen those videos and reviews that people have posted and when I look at it - for whatever reason, the metal spring in the hinge was dislodged in a way where the end of the spring scratched their phone. Therefore, the case itself was actually broken or defective. But as you can see if you look at where the hinge protector connects to the case, the spring is nowhere near capable of touching the phone unless it was broken somehow. It never broke for me and to this day it's still fully intact - though I had to remove it to send my ZF3 back to Samsung. I wouldn't worry about it at all. Every month or so I would think to check on the hinge and sure enough it was never scratched. To me, it's the best case for total coverage without S Pen. I bought it when those reviews were out (because they were mainly for the ZF2 version) and I wondered too - but it turned out to be more smoke than fire. It's a really good case in my opinion.
The only difference I can tell with this version for the ZF4 is that the hinge protector is connected to the back cover whereas the ZF3 it was connected to the front cover. I am sure this was done because of the lesser bezels on the front. The only bummer about this is that if you ever did a main camera selfie with it open, the hinge protector will block part of the front screen.
Yeah I hate the stick on cases. I don't have the back stuck on, but the front kind of needs it.Right on! Yeah, I usually style and profile with at least 4-5 cases per phone. Unfortunately, with the adhesive, it looks like my changing cases will be less
.... I'll check out that Ultra thin. Right now I'm down to one case....09-02-2022 07:25 PM
