It may have a large notch along with its plastic interior screen and bezel (not my favorite things), but overall the Fold still feels like a premium, cohesive device that's quickly building a case for why it exists, apart from the novelty. So far, I've used the Galaxy Fold on a very crowded subway, in a cab, on the train, in a car, walking down the street, sitting at a cafe and on an airplane. 

I've read the news, Tweeted, Slacked, emailed, taken photos and watched Netflix and YouTube videos. I'm not totally thrilled by some of Samsung's design decisions, and I'm still waiting to see how certain features will pan out. But I love that I can actually zip the Fold into the pocket of a short-waisted, fitted leather jacket, and that when I've finished a session of use, I can simply close it up with a snap and stash it away. Opening and closing the Fold still feels a little special, but I was surprised at how quickly that's becoming second nature.
