I never UNFLIP my phone fully/flat. How do you USE yours?

For one it helps my wrist, it's more comfortable to hold when compared to my S22U & 13mini.

Some dipstick at work says, I'm showing off. Okay. LOL

I thought it was funny.

Even when playing Asphalt 9 it's slightly bent.

Right now my left pinky is supporting the bottom, middle & ring at the back and typing with my thumb and right index finger.

I noticed that I'm using flex mode much more than I did on the flip 3. Also love the way it feels in hand. Just the right size without feeling too wide or heavy like the S22 U.

I usually open it fully, but there are times like when watching a youtube video i'll have it angled just because it's more comfortable. This thing kinda reminds me of a Gameboy Advance SP lol.

What if you are showing off? nothing wrong with a little bit of that as long as you're not being a **** about it!

Fold it as a camcorder then record and say now im really showing off

I open mine all the way.. I just don't put any pressure on it. And when I hold it to my ear (which isn't often, I use Bluetooth) I keep it slightly folded to not stress it too much. The videos and pics I've seen looks like the stress of forcing it open stretches and stresses the protector at the crease. Especially flipping it open I keep it open at home to save wear and tear on it... the less folding the more life

Do you notice how the Flip and Fold come opened up in their boxes? I think that's to minimize the time the screen is being creased while packaged.

What an interesting thread! Thank you for sharing your real-life usage stories, everyone!

I never thought about it but u bring up a good point

I keep mine fully open when using it or when it is just sitting on the table waiting to be used. I only really fold it when I am putting it in my pocket to go out, or when I go to bed (I have it on do not disturb and folding it takes up less room on my nightstand). Did the same with my Flip 3. Haven't had any issues with either.

I fully open mine too.

 

[bkdodger2]

Exactly same with me ..opened around the house when I'm working on computer and inside ready for usage ..folded going out and about or out at friends or dinner

And the point of having a flip phone if you're going to leave it open most of the time is what?

It's not needed to be folded if you working by the desk at home ..you can save yourself the unfold ...I keep mine on a stand opened so easy to access I want to action something .. convenient folded for carrying around outside ..

Exactly as Flossy would say. Your friends has an iphone, another a Galaxy. You put your closed flip on the table, now your a lion, top of the food chain just like them.

I have a mobility disability with my right hand so I typically use both hands to open the flip or else chance dropping it. I've learned to use both hands to open and close the flip. I'm always using the device then folded right into my pocket of my skinny jeans!
