A folding iPhone deserves a real leather case.
Apple’s iPhone Duo folds, which means most cases either fight the hinge or skip it. SANDMARC, a brand our crew already put to work with their phone lenses, just launched the Pro Leather Case for iPhone Duo, a full-grain leather case built around the fold instead of against it. It caught our eye. Here’s what we found.
What the Pro Leather Case Is
A slim full-grain leather case for the iPhone Duo, in black or brown, with a machined aluminum mount around the cameras and an open hinge so the phone folds and unfolds freely.
Standout Features
Open hinge
Nothing covers the fold, so the phone opens flat and the leather doesn’t crease.
Aluminum camera mount
Keeps the lenses off the table and threads straight onto SANDMARC’s lenses and filters.
MagSafe built in
Charge wirelessly and use MagSafe mounts without taking the case off.
Slim and light
2.55mm thick and 1.24 oz, with a microfiber lining and metal buttons.
Optional front guard
A snap-in bumper that protects the folded front screen and keeps it off the table when the phone is standing.
Who It’s For
The early adopter who just got the Duo and wants it to look as good in a year as it does today. Full-grain leather picks up a patina as it ages, and the camera mount makes it a natural fit for anyone who shoots a lot on their phone.

The mount works with SANDMARC’s phone lenses and filters, the same gear our crew tested for action shots.
