German renowned institute "Stiftung Warentest" just tested two foldables (both Samsung I think) and had them 50.000 times folded and unfolded (they build machines to ~~torture~~ test stuff) and reported no creases.
50.000 times is over four years for 32 uses every day (twice every wake hour). Would be more than sufficient for a normal user think.
Crease distortion occurs immediately, day 1, first fold, and it's a substantial distortion.... but does not necessarily get exponentially worse like normal fatiguing plastic, but instead just gets worse slowly. Yeah it'll last 50k folds but the crease distortion is definitely there in person.
