I've had the full three since launch and just pre-ordered my phone to five. For me the main draw was the fact that I wanted a tablet experience but I didn't want to have two devices to maintain and bounce back and forth between.
I've only broke a phone once in my life, and that was when I was being cocky with one of the older Motorola's that advertised it couldn't be cracked. I've dropped my fold three several times, breaking three cases as well as scuffing up my hinge. Still works perfectly fine. The crease never got any worse, and I barely notice it unless I'm in a room with very bright overhead lights, or if a UI element is directly on the crease. Most of the time my fingers rarely touch that part of the screen and I couldn't even tell there was a crease when I put 30 hours in remote play for the PS5.
I did get protection on my fold 3, it was significantly discounted during my pre-order. I also decided to do it this time around due to all the promotions and cash back resulting in it costing less than $5 a month.
Similar experience to me.
Got the fold 3 at launch. Dropped it a few times (one time i threw it to the ground, scratchy gravel pavement as i got scared and it was fine) scuffed the hinge and one of the edges but all in all its completely fine.
Inner screen is great no complaints.
Outer screen had one protector replacement because i put a cheap case on which wasnt cut right so it pushed the edge of the screen protector away from the screen and left a bubble i couldnt get rid of so i replaced that.
Its the best phone i ever bought and i could never go back to a none foldable.
I have a full tablet folded in my pocket and i cant stress enough how useful that is.
