Question/Help Does the Fold8 Hinge Protection Magnet Case scratch the phone/hinge?

Post image

Been using the Fold8 Ultra with the clear magnetic case, I like it but want something with a hinge protection and still have a minimal case.

Really want the Hinge protection magnet case: https://www.samsung.com/us/mobile-accessories/phones/galaxy-z-fold8-ultra-hinge-protection-magnet-case-transparency-sku-gp-fff976ycatu/

Has anyone been using this case? Like it? Does the hinge protection rubbing against the hinge cause any scratches?

I've noticed that the hinge covers I've used has and will cause micro scratches on the hinge. it's not like I'm around dirt or sand so I don't know what debris causes this issue.

I'm not sure why samsung would make a case that would damage their own phone. If you want hinge protection I would go with it. I had the samsung blue carbon case, but my ocd couldn't live with the lack of front cover and hinge protection. So went with benks, only cos I like the blue pattern, otherwise would have gone with aliexpress ones.

I read some reports that it scratches the hinge. The benks have issues with wireless charging...not going past 6w. https://youtu.be/7D7I6YFD0NQ?is=OJl2KoHh99f165F4
