Agreed. Being able to fold the device is popular because of the novelty but I argue they're overall objectively worse devices than non-folding one with the same price and form factor would be. I'll much rather have a flat slab in my pocket than a compact cube. There's not a chance a folding device will withstand daily use for 6+ years.

The one I have has really come a long way. I'm using it without a case. I've dropped it several times from a decent height. I was using it's light at work to show a hole in a wall to my coworker and he jammed a blunt piece of steel into its exterior screen with serious force. Not a scratch.
