The best iPhone Duo cases for protecting your precious new foldable, starting from just $30

If you're buying the new iPhone Duo, Apple's first-ever foldable, the first thing you should do is marvel at its opening animation .

The very next thing you should do is get a case for it.

Not only is the Duo an expensive phone , but it's also a slippery one , according to Mashable's Stan Schroeder.

Since regular iPhone cases won't fit its passport-style design, you'll have to buy a brand-new protective case for your Duo.

Below, I've rounded up over a dozen of the best iPhone Duo cases available ahead of its release on Friday, Oct.

23, including options from popular brands like OtterBox and Casetify with kickstands, MagSafe, and/or hinge protection.

Prices range from $30 to $129.

If you haven't locked in your iPhone Duo preorder yet, you can save up to $1,200 with various carrier offers .

Just know that it might be a couple weeks until yours arrives: The Duo sold out almost instantly when preorders opened on Oct.

16, and it's currently on backorder pretty much everywhere.
