  In this work, we investigate the positivity of logarithmic and orbifold
cotangent bundles along hyperplane arrangements in projective spaces. We show
that a very interesting example given by Noguchi (as early as in 1986) can be
pushed further to a very great extent. Key ingredients of our approach are the
use of Fermat covers and the production of explicit global symmetric
differentials. This allows us to obtain some new results in the vein of several
classical results of the literature on hyperplane arrangements. These seem very
natural using the modern point of view of augmented base loci, and working in
Campana's orbifold category. As an application of our results, we derive two
new orbifold hyperbolicity results, going beyond some classical results of
value distribution theory.
