9to5Mac reviews early iPhone Duo case options, including Baseus and Aulumu models

9to5Mac tested several third-party cases built for Apple's foldable iPhone Duo, highlighting a $29 Baseus case with a rotating magnetic kickstand and full hinge coverage, and an ultra-thin Aulumu case made of aramid fiber and aluminum alloy that weighs 30g, is 1.4mm thick, and adds MagSafe magnets. Both cases include camera protection but differ in display coverage, kickstand functionality, and attachment method, with the Baseus avoiding adhesive strips.

What foldable phone cases do and don't protect, explained

Foldable phone cases typically ship in two pieces covering the back, sides, camera island and front screen perimeter, guarding against drops, shock and scratches. Most basic cases skip full 360-degree coverage and leave the hinge exposed, while rugged options from brands like Casetify, Supcase and Otterbox add hinge protection and built-in screen protectors at the cost of extra bulk.
