While the dispay on the outside is nice, having a soft (bendable) material on the edge of the phone has to be prone to scratches, no? And then when you unfold, you'll have scratched middle of the display, which has to be the worst place to have the scratches.

While not that nice, having display on the inside of the phone at least protects it from scratches.

Yeah I think the bend-on-outside seems like a much worse idea than bend-on-inside. Bendable already means the screen will be less scratch resistant, why make it worse?

True, but bend-on-inside would probably be a smaller radius, causing more "pinch damage" than bend-on-outside.
