When you drop a clamshell device on a corner, you have a 50% chance of it being a hinge.jinx wrote:Not being able to fold isn't a big deal, in-fact it's a great idea seeing that this is targeted for kids. Having 5 little brothers, I've seen what they can do to hinges. Laptops, DS's, GBA SPs have all been destroyed and usually it's the hinges, and not the screen.
I can't stand scratched screens myself but aren't most of them pretty much invisible when the system is turned on? If that is the case then I could see a lot of people not caring much. I could be wrong, I put screen protectors on all of my stuff except for my phones so I've never had a scratch issue.
