Apple's official silicone case for the upcoming iPhone Duo requires adhesive to stay attached, according to early buyers. The $79 silicone case does not use magnets like many other cases; instead, users must expose adhesive on the case for it to stick to the phone. Without it, the case may fall off.
This design makes swapping cases or going caseless difficult, as reapplying the adhesive reduces its effectiveness. Apple opted for adhesive over magnets, a choice not uncommon in foldable device cases. The $129 folio case with kickstand appears to be a more conventional option, though it comes at a premium.
Users seeking alternatives are pointed toward Spigen’s Ultra Hybrid Pro and ESR’s Classic Hybrid with kickstand. The article also includes the author’s personal Apple accessory recommendations, such as Anker’s MagSafe battery pack and charger, Logitech mouse, AirTag, and Belkin and MOFT MagSafe accessories. The reminder about adhesive is minor but notable for those planning to use the official silicone case.
