So only way to use front screen on duo is no case?

They are useless.
Damn. Pressure to decide on what phone so I can place an order with Caudabe without dates slipping even further. Pro or Pro Max. Burgundy or Black.

Thought their advertisement was funny:

iPhone 18 Pro Max MNML Cases » dbrand
A minimalist phone case for your iPhone 18 Pro Max. It's thin, it's tough, it has a nice sandstone texture, and it’s mnml. Comes in four colors.

“…you may notice a slight variation in fit”. Oh boy. This isn’t going to fly for most of the case fanatics here.

Some cases have a thin rim on the front screen held on with double-stick tape, combined with a full back case.
The Apple case is a folio and has to be “opened” to use the front screen.
Cases for folding phones exist in a weird phone case twilight zone. Personally, I’d go caseless with a folder.

So if 17 P/PM cases will fit the 18 models, is the reverse true? Will iPhone 18 P/PM cases fit the 17?

He doesn’t take into account the differences in the plateau and camera lens depths though. Those measurements are for the main body only.
Your iPhone 17 Pro case will work on an iPhone 18 Pro
Upgrading to the iPhone 18 Pro? Almost all older cases will survive the jump because Apple kept its exterior dimensions identical to the iPhone 17 Pro.appleinsider.com
Australian 18 max gets C2 for some reason.

I read that the plateau is 0.01” (0.0254 cm) “fatter.” I would expect most cases to be able to tolerate that. Of course, any case without an open plateau is probably not going to work because of the (comparatively) significantly larger lenses.
Wonder if the reason the 'Precise' version of the Sheath for the 18 Pro/Pro Max is available for immediate shipping in the same colors as last year is because they haven't changed a thing and haven't accounted for the marginally wider plateau, so potentially the camera lens rings won't be as recessed.
Hmm.
Hmm.

I do like the iPhone duo animation, that's pretty cool 😎
I wondered the same thing but in their own FAQ they state that their 18 Pro cases account for this change. Maybe because the changes are so minimal existing colours were easy to modify in the supply chain for immediate orders but new colours required longer lead times?
Ah, good spot. Great that they've specifically accounted for that. I feel foolish for sending them an email about it literally 30 seconds ago now.
I think it’s still a fair question. Even though my explanation is plausible it is a little curious that they are ready to ship immediately.
I just can’t get over that gloss camera hole on the matte. My OCD couldn’t handle it : )

Could be right just a GSP on front. Would make the duo cheap not buying cases lol
Or a leather back/stand for the right side.
I guess I'll find out next week. Should be an easy return if it clearly hasn't been changed. Won't be too surprised if the packaging has a "18 Pro" sticker over the "17 Pro" part...
Please report back because I don’t know if I’ll be able to tell. Never had a case before let alone this one!
Well, taken the plunge. Simple black precise Sheath for the black 18P. Can finally realise my stealth dreams.
In stock, no stressing over months of delays, Spigen EZ-Fit screen protector ordered. Sorted. No need for a skin for the plateau either. See you all for the Anniversary iPhone next year (which will be a definite purchase for me). Job done.
(I blocked out the price I paid as I was ashamed to reveal I'd paid full price).
