I agree with you, franzbonus. This is obviously not going to stay in tune as they say it will its simply not possible! My guitar is a squier strat and it goes slightly out of tune just from using the tremolo a lot so i can imagine how bad this would be after folding...
Sounds like your strings are catching on the nut. Take a small file and enlarge the grooves slightly (about 1/2mm.) Get some graphite powder lubricant and mix a small batch with Vaseline and put in just enough to cover the groove. Tighten up your strings then wipe off the excess and you are good to go. If you do this right you will never be able to tell anything is different.

One last thing:
Make sure your strings are properly stretched and keep in mind that weather changes will put your guitar out of tune.
