    Yes, but you can rig the screen with a fingernail if you push hard enough. Tested it in store…

        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.
