you may want to be on the safe side. my fold 3 just came back from inner screen repair/replacement few days ago.
kinda my fault bringing the phone to site. there is a small pebble (more like a big sand) caught on the screen top right corner when i closed it, dented the screen at the point, and got white line down the screen. but at the same time the crease section also cracked (due to destress of the lcd?)
i only realized it that night.
brought it to mines sc, the lady said its not covered under warranty yadyada because of the pebble, but i told her i wanted to claim under care+. apparently you need to call care+ 1st before coming to sc. so i did and got the email etc in less than 1 hour and send it back to the sc (care+ pretty fast also). need to upload pic and pay rm629 by transfer before sending the phone.
2 days after that i got a call phone is ready. so i now i got spanking new inner screen with protector and i also change the front and back protector for rm98(i think). look as good as new. still thinking either to go for fold 4 or not for now.

i saw lazada got ppl promote repair the inner screen at 2000++

Yeah.. that's why i said if you careful and use your phone sensibly, there is no need to buy Care+. If you are a robust/ lasak type or always drop the phone kind of person then taking Care+ is a good idea for a peace of mind. But again accident do happen even for a careful person..

I will keeping my Fold3 for another year or two. Depends whether next year Fold5 have SPen slot and outer screen is SPen enable. This year Fold4 is only a small improvement compared to our old Fold3. Might as well save our moolah for next year.
