A daily halachic segment, "Halacha in 60 Seconds," presented by Rabbi Binyamin Huta on "Kikar HaShabbat," addresses the permissibility of folding tefillin during Chazaras HaShatz, the repetition of the Amidah prayer by the cantor. The question arises for individuals who switch between Rashi's tefillin and Rabbeinu Tam's tefillin, or for those who wear only Rashi's tefillin but are in a hurry to leave.
The segment, which provides brief and topical halachic rulings and customs, aims to summarize the details of laws and practices. This particular ruling is presented in a video format at the beginning of the article. The article also references a related topic previously discussed: whether it is permissible to leave tefillin open to dry.
