I think my favourite take on the foldable/dual screen phones is LG's dual screen case. It's an optional accessory that you don't have to use but it transforms a lot of phones in their lineup to dual screen ones all with a simple case.

I'd just like to share to all those getting recommended this video now. The flip in this video is the first gen, The newer ones (the 3 and 4) have removable screen protectors.

I have had my flip 3 for over a year now, and the only scratch on it is a tiny scratch on the back panel cause I set it on a rock without a case.

This issue could have been greatly reduced if they simply gave more room for the screen to bend back into the phone. Only a tiny portion of the screen can actually bend, while the rest is glued flat.
