I was wondering if you can fold the charger shot while it's still plugged in. Because it's magnetic I am worried about it damaging the charger because it's still plugged in.

Hey JoeyBranch,
We're glad you thought to ask Apple Support Communities about folding your MagSafe Duo Charger while it's connected. Looking at the resource you recently reviewed, we see at the bottom "As with most soft materials, the covering of accessories might experience normal wear over time. The hinge area of your MagSafe Duo Charger might wrinkle over time if kept in the folded position. Leaving your MagSafe Duo Charger in a very hot environment (like the inside of a car on a hot day) in the folded position might lead to more visible, deeper wrinkles in that area. This doesn’t affect the functional performance of the accessory.". Here's that guide again, just in case: How to use your MagSafe Duo Charger with iPhone 12 models and Apple Watch
We also found "Using damaged cables or chargers, or charging when moisture is present, can cause fire, electric shock, injury, or damage to iPhone or other property. When you use the charging cable (included) or a wireless charger (sold separately) to charge iPhone, make sure its USB connector is fully inserted into a compatible power adapter before you plug the adapter into a power outlet. It’s important to keep iPhone, the charging cable, the power adapter, and any wireless charger in a well-ventilated area when in use or charging. When using a wireless charger, remove metallic cases and avoid placing metallic foreign objects on the charger (for example, keys, coins, batteries, or jewelry), as they may become warm or interfere with charging." here: Important safety information for iPhone
We hope this helps.
Take care!
Can you fold it shut while it is plugged in or is that bad for the charger?
