Why does camera protection matter on a foldable?
Foldable cameras often sit proud of the body and can scratch when set face-down or slipped into a bag. A camera cover or raised glass shield keeps the lenses clear.
Both cases here address this, one with a physical sliding cover and the other with tempered glass over the camera and cover-screen area.
