The fit
A case for a folding phone is two cases.
This is the whole reason this shop exists, and the reason it sells for one phone and will never sell for two.
Almost every case you can buy is a single moulded tray. That works perfectly on a phone that is one rigid object, and it cannot work at all on a phone that folds in half. So the first question about a iPhone Duo case is not which print. It is whether the person who made it understood the problem.
The iPhone Duo closes over a folding display on a titanium hinge. Three things follow from that, and they are not preferences. The case must be two parts. Nothing may sit on the hinge. And both parts must be the same thickness, or the phone will not close parallel.
Everything below is a consequence of those three. None of it is marketing — it is what the shape of the object requires.
What that means in the part
Two parts, not one
A case for a folding phone is two cases. Each half is moulded separately, snaps on separately, and moves with its own side of the phone. Nothing bridges the fold, because anything that bridges the fold either stops it closing or tears.
It closes completely flat
Both parts are the same thickness, so the phone closes parallel instead of wedging open at the hinge. A wedge is what you get when a case is designed for the back and the front is an afterthought.
The magnets line up
The array in the case matches the array in the phone. A wallet snaps to the same place it would without a case, and a charger seats on first contact rather than after three attempts.
The camera bar is raised
A lip runs the full width of the camera bar and stands proud of the glass, so the lenses do not touch the table. This is the single most common way a phone gets scratched and it is free to prevent.
Every cutout is its own decision
The side button, the volume keys, the USB-C port and the speaker grilles are cut to the part, not to a template. A cutout that is a millimetre out is a button that needs a fingernail.
Textured sides
A polished titanium frame is a beautiful thing to drop. The sides of the shell carry a texture so the phone stays in the hand it is in.
What we have not measured yet
Added thickness, weight and drop rating are not published on this site. Not on a product page, not in a spec table, not here.
They will be measured on a production sample with a caliper and a scale, by us, and then they will be published with the date they were taken. A thickness quoted before a part exists is a number from a drawing, and a drawing has never been dropped on a pavement.

Questions
Will a case stop the phone folding flat?
No. The case is moulded as two separate parts, one bonded to each half, so there is nothing spanning the hinge to compress. The two halves meet the way they do without a case on.
Does the case cover the hinge?
No, and it must not. The hinge is engineered to move freely and anything sitting on it either wears out or stops the phone closing. Our parts stop short of it on both sides and leave it open.
Does MagSafe work through it?
Yes. MagSafe and Qi2 both pass through the shell, and the magnet array in the case is aligned to the phone’s own, so wallets and chargers snap to the right place rather than near it.
How much thickness does it add?
Not published. That figure will come from measuring a production sample with a caliper, not from a CAD drawing, and until that has happened there is no honest number to give. A case that quotes a thickness before it has been made is quoting a hope.
Will my case for another iPhone fit the Duo?
No. The Duo folds and has a completely different shape, so it needs a two-part case moulded specifically for it. This is also the reason we do not make cases for anything else.
What happens to the cover screen?
It stays fully usable. The front part frames it and leaves the glass and its edges clear, including the swipe-in gestures that start at the bezel.
