2 screens means 2 sets of electronica, attached by something that, by its nature, is going to be bent & manipulated. Folding anything electronic are more fragile than non-folding. The screens themselves would still be prone to the same breakage issues--and there'd be the issue that if the divider were damaged or twisted, one of the screens might stop working.
The Nintendo DS series manages, by having the hinges be very solid, and by being so small that the hinge is rarely held at an angle that puts more weight on one side than the other.
