I recently took the plunge and bought the Pixel 9 Pro Fold with 512GB storage for $1600. I'm really excited about it, but also a bit nervous about whether it was a good investment. I will switch over from an iPhone, so this is a big change for me.

For those of you who have been using the Pixel 9 Pro Fold for a while, I'd love to hear about your experiences:

• How's the performance and battery life?

• Any issues with the foldable screen or overall build quality?

• Is the hinge protection case necessary?

• How durable is the device in daily use?
