Is anyone else having issues with seemingly very fragile props on the Air3s ? I've had mine a few weeks now, only ever carried in the Fly More bag and have 2 props (both on the front) shear in this way, seemingly on the ground and in transit.

The tips seem wafer thin and very easy to tear. For context, I've never had a prop break on my Mavic 1 or 2 Pros or Mini 3 in near a decade of drone user and transporting them in the same way.

Im aware of the "notch" and not to store the props with them pushed onto the top of the drone but in reality, it seems they always move there in the carry bag or similar whether you want them 2 or not. The breaks seems to be about the area id expect to be stressed from that.

Has anyone else seen props break in this way or has anyone got any good suggestions for carrying the thing in the fly more bag in a way the props don't get pushed or migrate to the top of the drone outside the notice?
 
The props can break BUT the DJI OEM props are the best your gonna get for the Drone. I would get a prop holder or simply use a rubber band. A case that's made for the Drone is BEST.

Ive tried a rubber band, it pushes the props out of the notch onto the top (i use a rubber band on all my other drones).

A hard case isnt really practical as it takes up even more dead space in a backpack and so on
