That sounds nice, but I want the same foldable form factor for entirely opposite reasons.

I want a rough, minimalistic foldable like the old school Razr. Something that can take abuse.

I want to be able to flick it open and close with the snap of my wrist and stuff the folded form factor back into my pocket without worry.

I don't care if there's no screen covering the bezel. That'd make it less durable anyway. Two screens, similar to the Nintendo DS is fine.

I'm sick of the smartphone slab and exposed glass. I want a wallet shaped device with a protective plastic or metal shell on the outside.

Samsung makes a flip phone with a foldable screen that opens into a standard candybar form factor: https://www.samsung.com/us/smartphones/galaxy-z-flip4/

Have you seen the new Razr? https://www.amazon.com/Motorola-RAZR-Phone/s?k=Motorola+RAZR...

If it doesn't crack 5 days after you got one, how will you buy a new phone?

Why.

Put your slab in a protective case and a screen protectir and you get a much more durable device than flip phones ever were.

And now it is a giant brick that doesn’t fit comfortably in your pocket.

Get a bigger pocket.

Will do, after I grow up another meter -_-'

If the glass faces in, it'll start emergency dialing. If it faces out, it'll scratch.
