I finally solved that nuisance the last weekend.
Image description and explanatory description below.
This is the folded view from the front. Now it fits in my phishing bag. I am not a fisher but I could not find a proper bag for this instrument.
This is how it looks like unfolded and ready to play.
After folding the 2 pieces, the end pin slides tight between them.
The fold is not ideal, because the jack is in the way and the butterfly nut need to be loosened a lot to allow space for movement to the fold position.
Close-up of the cut area. The cut angle is slanted to help put pressure between the 2 pieces. There is a thin layer of foam on one of the pieces to help absorb unwanted vibrations during play.
Started with a few sketches to define the goal and a simple solution as possible for folding the wood.
These are some sketches to gather ideas before cutting anything. Turned out to be very helpful and gave me a really clear solution.

Currently searching for a bag to replace the phishing bag. Closest thing I found that might fit is a speaker stand bag. But still searching. Any suggestions are welcomed.
