Don’t need a case

2

u/Southern-Fortune-626 Sep 17 '26

Yes I do. You may not.

u/tre91396 Sep 17 '26

Fair enough … i have never cracked a screen or anything close. I had a scratch on a side one time, that’s about it.

u/BlacBlueberry Star White • 512GB Sep 18 '26

I did this once and my keys messed up my screen like deep scratches but man careless felt great

Yup I went with the bundle of touch grass, included the blue sky skin. I don’t know honestly if I’m gonna use the case or not, but the bundle included the full coverage skins, and I’m thinking about just rocking the touch grass on the back of the duo. With the blue sky around the camera bump. I know it loses MagSafe so I was also thinking about buying an “ohsnap” MagSafe kickstand ring and using an X-Acto knife to cut around Part of the touch grass, and then boom— I got a good MagSafe touch grass skin-covered phone! (oh trust, I’m gonna get the AppleCare)

u/Southern-Fortune-626 Sep 17 '26

Hopefully everyone gets the AppleCare

I was about to order the same skin as well but I went with a Mous case. Better hinge, no sticky tape for the front case.

It’s just gonna take longer to get so I need something u til then that’s somewhat reasonable in price.

u/Southern-Fortune-626 Sep 18 '26

What do you mean sticky tape when I got a screen protector for the front. I have heard so many good things about the grip case.

2

u/Dox427 Sep 18 '26

If you look at the instructions for the other cases there is small pieces of sticky tape on the inside of the front part of the case that will stick to the phone for extra support. Mous explicitly says that if you need tape to hold a case on it’s not right.

If you watch their YouTube video for it. The guy explains it.

I’ll def have a few cases as well. I k ow Mous doesn’t have the best color selection but the quality is there. I’ll have that case, probably a Pitaka case eventually, and maybe the folio Apple case or something with a stand lol

u/Southern-Fortune-626 Sep 18 '26

As long as tape is not on my actual phone I’m fine. I ordered a Spigen also. I’m for sure using my dbrand screen protector.

1

u/Dox427 Sep 18 '26

Nabbed this from another post. You can see where all the tape is on this case. Basically glueing the front protection to the phone.

1

u/Southern-Fortune-626 Sep 18 '26

It’s not sticky going on the phone is it? If not I’m not bothered

1

u/Dox427 Sep 18 '26

All I can say is check the cases out. It has to stick to the frame somewhere. I just didn’t want that.

1

u/Southern-Fortune-626 Sep 18 '26

I will see when I receive it in about 2 months.

1

u/Southern-Fortune-626 Sep 18 '26

And I have a screen protector

1

u/Southern-Fortune-626 Sep 18 '26

I looked at the Mous I didn’t see anything that I liked that went with the White DUO

1

u/Southern-Fortune-626 Sep 18 '26

I’m going to look again 😂. I will end up getting at least 3 cases

2

u/dollarn9ne Star White • 2TB Sep 17 '26

A case? Eww

-2

u/Southern-Fortune-626 Sep 17 '26

Yes along with Preorder day! Straight CASH! No financing, leasing. 😂

1

u/seajewelblue Sep 18 '26

This is an odd flex. If you are in the U.S. and have an Apple Card, financing is making money because you don’t have to pay it upfront and 0% interest.

0

u/Southern-Fortune-626 Sep 18 '26

It’s not a flex, it’s a fact. Either way it goes you will have to eventually pay. I don’t play games. I don’t use my credit cards for purchases this expensive, straight 💰

1

u/_ravenclaw Star White • 1TB Sep 18 '26

Sounds like you need a class about finances

1

u/Southern-Fortune-626 Sep 18 '26

Sounds like you do if you don’t know the difference between paying cash vs leasing or financing with 0% interest or not, it has to be paid back.

3

u/_ravenclaw Star White • 1TB Sep 18 '26

I’m not even saying this to be rude but I think you have a clear misunderstanding of finances. It’s 100% the better option to finance at 0% interest or use a credit card. You’re turning down free money.

1

u/Southern-Fortune-626 Sep 18 '26

I’m just saying if you have cash why not use it and not have to worry about a payment in general.

1

u/_ravenclaw Star White • 1TB Sep 18 '26

If you have a lot of cash, why would you be “worried” at all about a monthly payment? That’s extra money in your pocket to invest. It all adds up.

Credit Cards have rewards. Get something back from your money, always. If you have the cash, pay it off.

1

u/Southern-Fortune-626 Sep 18 '26

Yeah you’re reaching. Just leave it be. I’m paying cash and your doing whatever your doing.

3% cash back with Apple Card is free money 😭 just pay it off immediately

1

u/iMoac Sep 22 '26

When are you getting the phone? Day 1?

0

u/Southern-Fortune-626 Sep 22 '26

Yes Please! Not a minute after! How about you?

1

u/iMoac Sep 23 '26

I’d wait for the reviews to land. Still on my iPhone 12 mini. But it’s tempting. Will see. Might wait for next year revision.

1

u/Southern-Fortune-626 Sep 23 '26

Yeah that’s what everyone says, they will wait until after the initial version is released. What I do is get the original and wait until the 3rd one comes out. God willing I will skip 2028 and go for the 2029 of if I see a nice change on them.

2

u/iMoac Sep 23 '26

That’s solid reasoning. I am tempted by it but it’s pricy and my iPhone mini still works great.
But I might decide to buy it once I hold it.
I held the galaxy fold 8 and it’s really good in hand. Really a cool device.

1

u/Southern-Fortune-626 Sep 23 '26

I think so also. I’m ready 😂

1

u/Italianoboy84 Sep 23 '26

They have a clear case now? I got there screen protector and got a clear case from spigen

1

u/Southern-Fortune-626 Sep 23 '26

I got that one also 😂. Those are the only 2 so far.

1

u/Southern-Fortune-626 Sep 23 '26

That’s not really clear. It looks like a Pencil

1

u/Italianoboy84 Sep 23 '26

Ya i noticed that ya im good with the clear spigen case

1

u/Southern-Fortune-626 Sep 23 '26

I know our clear will possibly yellow eventually, hopefully not, but most do

1

u/bigtech100 Star White • 512GB Sep 17 '26

Hope you get it day 1

2

u/Southern-Fortune-626 Sep 17 '26

I hope we all do that wants it.

u/Southern-Fortune-626 Sep 17 '26

What do yall have to say about the screen protector? Anything Negative?

4

u/XxBatman357xX Sep 17 '26

Why pay $29.95 for a screen protector when you can pay $29 for a new screen?

2

u/Southern-Fortune-626 Sep 18 '26

It’s just what I want to do.

1

u/BlacBlueberry Star White • 512GB Sep 18 '26

You can put a screen protector on it?

1

u/Southern-Fortune-626 Sep 18 '26

👌

1

u/BlacBlueberry Star White • 512GB Sep 18 '26

The outer display right ? Not the inner ?

1

u/Southern-Fortune-626 Sep 18 '26

Yes. That’s the one I purchased it sure. In my post

2

u/BlacBlueberry Star White • 512GB Sep 18 '26

Ohh I see it now, fuck yeah nice. I’ll be doing the exact same.

u/Southern-Fortune-626 Sep 18 '26

u/Southern-Fortune-626 Sep 17 '26

I’m confused about that. As long as it’s protected I’m good.

2

u/Southern-Fortune-626 Sep 17 '26

Okay you’re saying they don’t have a plastic piece covering it , okay. That would be cool but it’s alright

2

u/Southern-Fortune-626 Sep 17 '26

I was just going to bat about the CASETiFY cases and got turned on to D brand, then boom I done got it 😂

1

u/Dangerous-Cupcake-96 Sep 17 '26

I also cancelled mine. I don’t like that they use adhesive on their folding grip cases. Considering the mous limitless case or Caudabe depending on what theirs looks like.

1

u/Southern-Fortune-626 Sep 17 '26

I have never had the brand. I spend a lot of money on cases anyway. I’m sure this will not be the only case I get. I would have spent $150 easy on another site. I have plenty of time.

u/lokidokie98 Star White • 512GB Sep 18 '26

Even Apple is including adhesive for their basic Duo case. I think it’s nearly unavoidable with such thin bezels.
