Latercase: The Thinnest MagSafe Case for iPhone Duo

Quick summary: The iPhone Duo is already thick and heavy, so you probably don’t want a case that adds bulk. The Latercase MagLock case is one of the thinnest, if not the thinnest, cases you can get for it, and it has strong MagSafe magnets built in.

Key takeaways

• Two-piece aramid fiber case that’s so thin it feels like there’s no case.
• Built-in MagSafe magnets for wireless charging and magnetic grips.
• Raised camera protection, with the hinge left open.
• The box includes two glass screen protectors, a microfiber cloth, installation tools and extra adhesive.
• Colors: blue, classic black, Midnight black, Crimson and Coffee.

What’s in the box

I love the box. The glass kit includes two glass screen protectors, a microfiber cloth and everything you need to install them. The case box includes extra adhesive and the two-piece case, with adhesive already on the front piece.

Installation

The back piece snaps on with literally no effort. For the front piece, peel off the adhesive backing, stick it on, and press and hold each side for about 30 seconds.

So thin it feels like no case

Holding it, it feels like there’s no case at all. That’s great for a phone this heavy and bulky. You still get:

• Raised camera protection
• A protected bottom with USB-C access
• An open hinge
• Access to the fingerprint sensor and top buttons

Add the glass screen protector and you’re protected from small drops.

Thin, but strong

Aramid fiber is really strong for how thin it is. When I try to bend it, the case resists. It’s built really well.

MagSafe built in

Latercase added magnets to these cases this year, as far as I know, and the magnet is really strong. That means wireless charging and magnetic phone grips work without a bulky case.

Colors

• Midnight black
• Classic black, with nice front protection
• Blue, the one I’m using
• Crimson, a rich, royal dark red I’d never seen in person. It looks dope.
• Coffee, a sand or desert tone I normally wouldn’t pick, but it looks really nice

Final thoughts

These cases are super thin, protect well for their size, are built really well and include magnets and extra adhesive. If you want protection without adding bulk to the iPhone Duo, check them out.
