Apple’s iPhone Duo silicone case requires adhesive to stay attached
The $79 silicone case for the foldable iPhone Duo uses adhesive rather than magnets, meaning it may detach if not applied.
By Felo News Desk · Published
Apple’s $79 silicone case for the soon‑to‑launch iPhone Duo requires users to expose an adhesive strip for the case to stick to the phone, according to 9to5Mac.
The company opted for glue instead of magnetic attachment, so the case could fall off if the adhesive is not applied. The adhesive may lose effectiveness after removal, limiting case swaps or going caseless. The alternative $129 folio case uses a kickstand and does not rely on adhesive.
9to5Mac notes that similar adhesive solutions have been used on other foldable phone cases, and suggests third‑party options such as Spigen’s Ultra Hybrid Pro and ESR’s Classic Hybrid with kickstand for users seeking non‑adhesive solutions.
