    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.

        Before having wireless earphones I had habit off putting keys with wallet and phone on its own, but since I switched to wireless earbuds they don’t fit with large ass phones, so I have to put them with wallet. I already broke one case of earbuds pulling out keys from the pocket that had everything. I switched to keeping my phone and keys in the same pocket.

        I’ve been doing that for almost a decade now and I don’t see the value proposition of folding phones yet where I can justify changing my habits again and taking care of yet another tool in my life.

        Maybe one day if they had full computer with root privileges in my pocket, I’d consider changing my habits to carry that and make sure it is taken care of.
