      Scratching your phone with a really soft material is a very different situation than smashing it into the ground…

          There are other things which might touch your screen like dust, which are much harder than a fingernail and thus will be able to scratch it. Just because it hasn’t happened to you yet doesn’t mean it’s not possible.

          At the end of the day a glass screen will always be more scratch resistant than a plastic screen

            I’ve had my foldable for a couple of years and even after removing the factory screen protection I’ve had 0 scratches on it.

            If you are a careful person with your phone, they are fine. If you are the type to crack your screen after a week of use, then they are even more of a headache.
