I'm pretty perfectionist about some things, but I honestly forget all of the time about this little crease in my phone. I thought I might give a shit before I bought a Motorola Razr last year, and now I often forget that it's a foldable. Imagine if you will, a phone that actually fucking fits in your jean pockets...it's worth the little (often invisible) crease.
Size issue. My jean pockets can fit a whole tablet.
I am indeed a short shit.
Had a manager that somewhat creepily checked for people's phones, the look on her face when I pulled an entire box of cereal from my pocket they couldn't see was pretty good.
I know you probably mean one of those serving-sized cereal boxes, but the mental image of you pulling out a family-sized box of cereal from some portal-to-Narnia pocket in your pants is fucking hilarious to me.
I mean not the family size, but yes a full on box of cereal.
I liked my jumbo iPhone for a while but it was too long to fit comfortably in my pocket. Making it foldable wouldn’t help though, because the main reason I got rid of it was I kept dropping it. Too big to use with one hand.
My pockets' capacity is determined by the thickness of what I'm shoving in there, not the height. A folding phone is the worst possible thing as it doubles the thickness at the expense of height.
Yeah I'm not sure for everyone but it solved my problems with the phone being too big to fit in my pockets. It even works in like pajama pants for when I'm walking the dog. Before, the phone tended to be too long and flop out.
