I feel like its a bad idea for people to buy these. I mean... the screen are weak plastics that can get damaged by a fingernail. Seems like an expensive buy for such a terrible durability. A terrible deal in my opinion.

What even is the use-case for these, anyways?

A larger screen than you can get on a non-foldable phone without creating carrying issues.

My cousin got one some time back, said that she liked it at that point.

I think that it'd be preferable to just carry a 5G-capable tablet in a satchel or something.

Some years back, I got an underarm money belt


very thin so it can be worn under clothing. I didn't wind up using it for my wallet much, but it did work well to carry a small tablet.

EDIT: This is the closest thing I can find on Amazon quickly to said belt. Very similar, though it's not the same.
