-[* black] The plastic display is reinforced by two metal plates, with a small gap in the middle to allow the whole unit to fold.
+[* black] The display is adhered to the two metal plates, leaving the center spine free of adhesive for a wider radius fold.
[* icon_note] Without the chassis, the display feels surprisingly rigid. This rigidity provides the springy feeling when opening the phone.
-[* black] the top layer of this new flexible display has been causing [https://www.theverge.com/2019/4/17/18412572/samsung-galaxy-fold-screen-damage-statement-inspect-screen-protector|quite a raucous|new_window=true] for some early reviewers.

[* black] What's curious though, is that it looks extremely similar to the pre-installed screen protectors that ship with their [guide|120331|Galaxy S10 phones|stepid=231962|new_window=true].
- [* black] What's also curious is why they didn't extend this layer to beyond the border of the screen, so that it wouldn't be visible to those of us who simply can't resist a good peel.
-[* black] In all known cases (including ours!), removing this layer kills the display. The display can ''technically'' function without the layer, but it is so tightly adhered and the display is so fragile that it is difficult to remove without applying enough pressure to break the display.
-[* black] Without the cover, the fragile display is left exposed and doesn't last long
+ [* black] Additionally, why not extend this layer under the bezels? Then it wouldn't be visible to those of us who simply can't resist a good peel.
