Hinge Protection

[The_Woo]

I'm enjoying the Samsung Spen case. My only gripe is the hinge being exposed. My OCD and worrying is getting the best of me with that.

Outside of getting a case with a hinge protector, what have others used to protect it (Fold 3 or 4) Not necessarily looking for a bumper, just something to prevent scratches, etc. I bought the WSD which came with a film but it was too thick.

Thinking maybe of getting a sopiguard skin (thinner than dbrand) a customizing it over the hinge.

Anyone?

Never thought about a skin , going to look into that but i think that would be a great way to go

Yeah I don't either.... I was just going to buy one for another phone and custom cut it to fit the hinge..DIY

Not sure yet. Alot of reviews saying anything on the hinge will damage it

Good point , why Samsung couldn't have something good in cases for these devices that provides good protection all way around

I don't know how the hinges are done this time around but I personally did not like the ideal of introducing something that would be inserted into the phone every time it was opened. I'm sure it's fine - but my fears of having a foreign object that might introduce other foreign objects into the phone whenever I opened the phone scare me away from putting anything on the hinged, especially when it is not rated for dust protection - and you know dust often builds up at the edge of any adhesive.

Yeah.... I think I'm SOL on this one. I don't think putting anything on the hinge is a good idea.

Maybe I'll just put some liquid glass and call it a day
