Beware of Counterfeit FlipFolds!

Buyer Beware: Counterfeit FlipFold's are made with inferior plastic which causes the boards to break. Our FlipFold is highly tested and made with specialty,superior plastic to ensure longevity. FlipFold has been in business for 12 years, because quality is our main focus. Do not be fooled by cheap imitations.

Our FlipFold- The Ultimate Folding Tool is a U.S. patented product (United States Patent # 6,360,927) not to mention "FlipFold- The Ultimate Folding Tool" is a registered U.S. Trademark. 


They say "imitation is the highest form of flattery". Well, we have felt very flattered. 

Over the years countless "knock offs" have been marketed as genuine FlipFold's. Most of these fake FlipFold's can be found on various online shopping sites. These counterfeit items may look similar to a genuine FlipFold (various colors, various amount of holes), and some may even use "FlipFold" in the product listing title. 

While we continually report these counterfeit items (mostly made in Asia, specifically China) it is an uphill battle. We have received many emails from customers who have purchased one of these counterfeit items complaining about the quality and/or price of the "knockoff" FlipFold.

Note :The Home Shopping Network, and The Container Store (our 2 largest authorized dealers) have external links on shopping sites that send the customer directly to their site (www.hsn.com & www.containerstore.com to purchase a genuine FlipFold.

In addition to our website, www.flipfold.com, FlipFold can also be purchased at The Container Store, The Home Shopping Network

Green Apple is our Official Distributor in Australia. They import FlipFold's from us, here in the United States. The shipping costs (freight, customs,etc) are extremely expensive, hence the price difference from our site. We can quote our customers a price for shipping from the U.S. via USPS, but the shipping costs are usually much more expensive than if you purchased from Green Apple. If you have any other questions or concerns, please email us at info@flipfold.com. Thank you!
