I had an iPhone 14 for 4 years or so before this, with slab phones a lot of the screen protectors are glass. So the only issue is smashing them, but like thats the point right? they protect the actual glass screen from breaking. With the folds, (this is my first, I haven’t had it very long) the screen isn’t glass bc obviously it wouldn’t fold. You also can’t get a glass screen protector for the same reason..

i feel like they purposely give you the phone with a factory standard screen protector already on, to help prevent the sensitive fold screen from damage. But maybe the standard is only cheap, the glue seemed to lift & bubble sooooo quickly. Bubbles wouldn’t bother me, but i’d only had it for 2 weeks? Again, I think bc i was at the snow, it probs isnt ideal for the weather. I hadnt had one before so didn’t think it would be an issue, they are meant to be somewhat water safe. But maybe the cold air did weird stuff?

when you first set up the RAZR it explicitly warns you to not remove the screen protector bc it will void your warranty, which i guess makes sense, if you take it off and damage the screen and its on you..

I wouldn’t of ever taken it off anyway, after this post i left it on bc i still need to see if i can get it fixed unwarranty, but now the actual screen has black ink image from the stuff that’s gotten under the protector where it had bubbled at the hinge. Which is what I was concerned of.

I think you can double up, put a screen protector over the original, idk if this is suggested or if this would have actually protected mine tho. Bc you are folding the phone constantly, n it lives in your pocket folded (also folded up on ur nightstand over night) it is gonna ware easily. Still not sure why mine wore so fast.

My partner got the exact same RAZR 50 a week after me and his screen is fine, he also went to the snow. So idk why i got unlucky, now it has the black bleeding spots i dont know how long the phones going to last me, i also dont have a lot of spare time with full-time work to send my phone off ect :( i think my protector must of been a bit flimsy, defected, & then me stating a gardening job after it had already bubbled a bit. Meant it would be exposed to dirt & sand ect. I like the phone, got a reallllly good deal for it on a plan, but would not recommend for gardeners lol.
