MobileReviewsEh picks a Duo folio with a charging catch

Things we can learn from the video

Press to jump

  1. 0:22Half-clamshell cases leave the open Duo uneven, while some hinge designs add considerable bulk.
  2. 1:01The Folio's pull-out hinge and stable kickstand come with restrictions on wired and magnetic charging.
  3. 2:11Closing the Folio automatically turns off and locks the phone.
  4. 2:39The standard Apple Duo Case uses an adhesive frame design and provides fuller edge protection.
  5. 3:46Aaron chooses the Folio with Kickstand over the standard Apple case.

Protecting a folding phone can make it considerably less convenient to use. Aaron's two new MobileReviewsEh uploads approach that problem from opposite directions: finding a case worth keeping on, and repeatedly folding a Duo to see what eventually gives.

"Apple's iPhone Duo Cases Review: Folio with Kickstand vs Duo Case" was the week's most watched upload, reaching roughly 80,000 views. Aaron demonstrates why some third-party options frustrate him: half-clamshell designs leave the open phone uneven, while bulky hinge protection adds thickness.

His choice is Apple's Folio with Kickstand, whose pull-out hinge mechanism covers the fold and whose front flap locks the phone when closed. There is a fairly substantial catch for anyone watching while charging: the stand blocks the USB-C port when the Duo is fully open, and many third-party magnetic chargers won't fit. The standard Apple case offers fuller edge protection, but Aaron prefers the Folio's overall usefulness.

Viewers are weighing those same compromises. Some want the stand without the flap; others suggest a shortcut to lock the phone on folding, or extra bumper protection alongside the Folio.

The week's other upload advances Aaron's bend-until-it-breaks experiment. He reports no difference yet between the repeatedly folded handset and his daily Duo, and says the rig's bugs have been worked out. Both new videos are the channel's busiest individual uploads right now, with September's wireless power-bank comparison also drawing views.

MobileReviewsEh added 1,000 subscribers over the week, though daily viewing is currently below its usual level. The folding test's uneventful result offers its own useful finding: so far, Aaron has little deterioration to report.

What viewers say

  • I like that many people will never buy a Duo, but as a tech guy, people ask questions, and this is good stuff to know from a real reviewer.
  • I want the apple stand case without the flap
  • It would be perfect if Arc pulse came out with a bumper case that could also stay on with the folio case. That way you’d have side protection as well as front, back and hinge protection.

  • 2:15 you just need to create a shortcut to lock the Duo when you fold the Duo.
