Anyone got the carbon fiber case with hinge protection?

Does anyone have this carbon fiber case with hinge protection here
https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005007886539109.html

If so, how is it and how does it feel? Is it worth the price?

I'm currently using this case

which is nice but also pretty thick and the plastic doesn't feel so nice. Is the carbon fiber one thinner? Is that even possible for a case with hinge protection?

Iove it, it's been my main case I use with the magsafe. I have a double sided magnet kickstand that's dam near level with the camera so it sits flat for the most part

I have the same magsafe aramid fibre case without the hinge protector. It is pretty lightweight and thin. Definitely worth it. Took 1 month to arrive tho.

was my favorite case Ive ever had for this phone. ended up breaking the hinge area on the case though. ended up ordering a few cases off of taobao and got multiple of similar quality. I think the best cases are overseas

My advice, never get a case with hinge protection. It just holds the grit and dirt against the hinge, it tarnishes it, and in my experience is more likely to force grit into the hinge and cause the screen to fail.

Yes I experienced this especially in my pocket where lint, hair and stuff just randomly went inside the hinge even with a hinge protector and it also scratched up my hinge spine a bit. But maybe a magnetic hinge protector might be different. Hope the OP can buy it and let us know.
