How we make money
Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This includes:
- Amazon Associates — as an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.
- Accessory brand programs — some case and accessory makers pay commission through networks like Impact and ShareASale.
- Insurance & trade-in referrals — we may earn a referral fee when you get a quote or complete a trade-in through a partner.
What that means for our content
- We only recommend products we'd suggest to a friend spending $1,999 on a first-generation foldable.
- Commissions are roughly similar across retailers, so our picks are driven by fit and protection — especially hinge protection, the thing that actually matters on a foldable.
- When we haven't tested a product hands-on, we say so and tell you what our recommendation is based on.
- Prices and availability are checked at the date shown on each page — always verify on the retailer's page before buying.
Sponsored content
If a brand ever sends us a review unit or pays for placement, we label it on the page. We don't accept payment for positive reviews.
