I have one too. I’ve gotten all sorts of things inside the inner screen. Once I even accidentally closed it with a key in it (basically folded it while putting it in pocket where keys are). Realized only after arriving home and pulling out my phone with key in it. Dust, manufacturing materials (I work in a factory), ectera ectera.
What has saved me all this time is simply a nillkin case that has a hinge protector (dust, falls, etc.) and creates a small gap between the screens when you close, so whatever dust gets inside is never really pressed between the screens.
I went with OnePlus Open. Samsung had weird screen ratios and pixel was just meh in comparison.
Which model did you get? I wanted one for some time now, but I really feel nervous about the screen just deciding to go the way of the dodo after 2 years and leaving me with a brick.
The original Pixel Fold. I didn’t like the dimensions of the Samsung ones closed and I didn’t really feel like importing an Oppo or something like that.
The camera died after a year and I had to get it replaced, but I had insurance, so it wasn’t a big deal. The screens still work like they’re new and the hinge is fine.
I’ve had a folding phone for 3 years and I’ve never gotten sand in it, pocket or otherwise.
But I also don’t crack my screens on my phones.

What is ectera?
A misspelling of etcetera, commonly abbreviated “etc.” which is Latin (“et cetera”) for “and others.”
If you want to be a douchey nerd you can pronounce it like it would’ve been in Ancient Rome, with a “k” sound for the c. It’s fun.
Ooh that’s a word I hadn’t considered doing that too. It’s fun using classical latin pronunciations with people you want to annoy
Well shit, I’ve been using it for 3-4 years now and only now someone points out I’m writing it incorrectly?
EDIT: And no, it’s not an American thing, I’m easterner and English is my third language
Some weird people pronounce it as “exetera”. 💀
Maybe that’s another American thing?
