Reply to comment by NineSwords in Folding phones by being_igor

I had the Fold 1, 2 and 3. You don't notice the crease when you're using it. It's only really noticeable when the display is off or you're looking at it from an angle.

I don't see the point of the Flip but the Folds are great phones, just not as durable so I went back to regular phones.

I just had folds in hand at store displays and there every model had both tactile and visual creases. Maybe it's because they get opened and closed more often than usual day-to-day usage, but I would expect that a week-old display phone wouldn't be opened and closed more times than a personal phone after a few months.

Maybe it's more like noise pollution where you just don't notice it anymore after a while. Let's call it "crease pollution".

I think it's more the lighting in a store is a lot brighter than you'd have at home and in many office environments. Also you're not using it as you would at home or sitting at a desk. It's not a true representation of your use case. Even from day 1 I never noticed it unless I tilted it and looked for it.
