iPhone Duo Owners Say $79 Apple Case Needs Adhesive to Stay On
Early buyers report Apple's official silicone case slips off unless its internal adhesive is exposed before fitting, according to GSM Arena.
Owners of early iPhone Duo units say Apple's $79 official silicone case only stays attached if its internal adhesive is exposed before installation, according to GSM Arena.
Without using the adhesive, the case reportedly falls off the phone easily. The adhesive is built into the case and must be uncovered as part of fitting it.
Apple also sells a $129 folio case for the iPhone Duo alongside the cheaper silicone option.
Buyers who want to avoid the adhesive requirement can turn to third-party iPhone Duo cases, which are available without it.

Social media user Parker Ortolani, quoted in the GSM Arena report, is among those discussing the case's attachment method on early units.
