  Trifold wallets fold twice, which also doesn’t make sense, but it’s probably where they got the name.

    I didn’t know that, but yes, it would probably seem confusing to use different terminologies for essentially the same thing.

  Bi-fold would work… But tri means 3 and 3 is a bigger number than 2 sooooo that’s what the marketing is going with

    Americans would still get confused. Refer to ⅓lb>¼lb burger, flopped because Muricans claim weird fraction math for length is superior…yet still cannot fraction their way out a wet paper bag…

  3500 is a lot for a device with an always exposed, easily scratched display.
