That's simply absurd. I'm sorry but you're just inventing needs now. Get an arm band. They're specifically made for phones. And foldables are generally bigger than regular phones with a few exceptions, and even then they're super thick, not really saving you anything.
Did you miss the point where I said it was small benefits of having a flip style phone? Thickness is typically not the issue, but just how tall phones are is starting to get troublesome in small annoyance ways.
Get an arm band? I don't really want to be running 30km with an arm band thanks. Or cycling 300km with one either. The small bits of comfort are kinda important(not $1200 worth it though).
