Most of these retailers aren't offering discounts on these new case accessories, but at ZAGG you can get 20 percent off your order when you purchase any two accessories. This is a perfect opportunity to save some money with a new case and screen protector for your new iPhone.

  • Belkin - iPhone 18 Pro cases and screen protectors
  • Burton Goods - Leather iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Duo cases
  • Casely - Colorful iPhone 18 cases
  • ESR - iPhone 18 Pro and AirPods 5 cases

There are some iPhone Duo case and screen protector options available from these retailers as well, but shoppers should remember the Duo itself won't launch until later in October.

Nomad's Mag Leather Back case seems to be the best so far - simple and protective enough - but the December 7th shipping estimate is a real bummer.

Edit: looks like Burton's Heritage Leather Case should fit the bill, and includes a hinge protector for shipping by October 23. Nice!
 
Seems a bit weird to have a case that covers up the outside screen, but I guess some people will only use this unfolded.
 
I bought an Apple case for $50 and it peeled and fell apart in 2 years.
Then I bought a generic case on eBay for $4.
2 years has elapsed, and it's in original condition. $4.

I would only use an Apple case on the Duo. The hinge is risky. I probably won't use a case anyway. I got used to it with the Air. It's titanium. I may rethink this 😕
