There is an undeniable energy surrounding the launch of new technology, but there’s a special buzz around the 2026 iPhone launch. Apple’s first foray into the foldable mobile phone market is finally making it to consumers' hands this year, alongside the iPhone 18. While there’s a lot to talk about when it comes to the foldable iPhone Duo’s screen creases (or lack thereof) and hinge durability, we shouldn’t forget that the new iPhone 18 and its folding counterpart are expensive tech that we invest in — and therefore need to protect.
Protecting your iPhone Duo and iPhone 18 Pro Lineup with ESR
Choosing new phone accessories can be almost as exciting as choosing the iPhone itself, but you’ll certainly want to consider accessories that can hold up against frequent usage and keep your new foldable iPhone or iPhone 18 Pro models protected from drops and damage without interfering with iPhone features like wireless charging. Let’s be honest, though — style also matters! The ESR Atelier Vegan Leather Magnetic Case with Flex Stand for the foldable iPhone Duo and iPhone 18 Pro series is a premium phone case designed to fit modern aesthetics that more than 130 million users worldwide have come to expect from ESR products.
Made of soft vegan leather, the ESR Atelier Vegan Leather Magnetic Case combines a premium look and soft-touch feel with a finish designed to stay refined through everyday use. Its stain-resistant surface is easy to clean, while the soft microfiber lining and TPU frame add another layer of everyday protection without sacrificing the case’s sleek appearance.
The ESR Atelier Vegan Leather Magnetic Case with Flex Stand for the iPhone Duo features a 180°, dual-function flex stand with a durable precision hinge structure rated for more than 3000 opening and closing tests and designed for a fluid user experience. The flex stand enhances the way that you use your new iPhone Duo, providing a secure and stable stand for your phone whether you’re using it while folded or fully extended. Made of high-strength zinc alloy, the flex stand is built to last and ensure stability when using your iPhone Duo, even during extended use at multiple angles. The flex stand isn't limited to supporting your phone—it also offers enhanced protection when closed, while also making the foldable phone easier to hold on the go.
The ESR Atelier Vegan Leather Magnetic Case with Flex Stand for the iPhone Duo also provides all-around protection for the foldable iPhone, including extra hinge protection, raised edges, a soft microfiber lining, and a TPU frame. Meanwhile, it also boasts 1400g of magnetic strength and compatibility with the MagSafe ecosystem so that it works flawlessly with wireless chargers, car mounts, card holders, and power banks with its high-strength magnet.
The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max versions of the ESR Atelier Vegan Leather Magnetic Case with Flex Stand bring the same premium vegan-leather finish into a design tailored specifically for Apple’s Pro models. Its dual-function flex stand adjusts from 15° to 69°, giving you stable portrait or landscape viewing while keeping the camera area protected when the stand is closed.
Protection is stepped up for the iPhone 18 Pro series. The case offers up to 3× military-grade protection to withstand drops of up to 12 feet, with a soft microfiber lining, TPU frame, raised-edge protection, and a built-in Camera Control cover. A 1,400g magnetic hold provides quick alignment and stable compatibility with MagSafe accessories.
While the ESR Atelier Vegan Leather Magnetic Case with Flex Stand offers coverage and protection for a large majority of your brand-new iPhone Duo and iPhone 18 Pro series, you do still need to consider a screen protector for your new device. The ESR UltraFit Armorite® Pro Screen Protector is made with Accessory Glass by CorningTM— the very same glass brand trusted by Apple for iPhone displays— and offers up to 2x better stretch resistance while reducing scratch visibility by up to 25%. It is also built to take a hit to absorb up to 10x more impact than generic screen protectors, providing an extra layer of confidence against everyday accidents.
A next-generation anti-reflective coating also cuts light reflection to just 2% while boosting optical transmittance to 94%, delivering brighter visuals, reduced glare, and more accurate color without compromising clarity.
ESR’s mission is to make tech easier to use by developing products that are easy to use and efficient, and that shines through in the design of the UltraFit Armorite® Pro screen protector, which includes an UltraFit tray for easy one-pull installation. The UltraFit tray ensures that your Armorite® Pro screen protector goes down dust- and bubble-free, helping remove dust and push out air bubbles for a smooth, clean application in just two simple steps.
Fully charge your iPhone 18 Pro Lineup with ESR for peak performance
You bought the new iPhone 18, you decked it out with a sleek new case and carefully protected the display with your new screen protector. After getting everything set up, you’re probably going to be excited to see what your new smartphone has to offer. There is just one problem — your battery is low. You could, of course, grab a standard-issue USB-C charger and then sit by, staring longingly at your new phone while you wait for the battery to ever-so-slowly reach a usable power level. Or you could save yourself the wait and use the ESR Cyclone 25W Magnetic Charging Pad with CryoBoost (promo code: MB078982).
Designed for desktop and at-home setups, the Cyclone delivers Qi2 25W charging and, in ESR lab Designed for desktop and at-home setups, the Cyclone delivers Qi2 25W charging and, in ESR lab testing with an iPhone 17 Pro, charged the phone to 50% in just 26 minutes — up to 28% faster than the official 25W MagSafe charger under the same test conditions. ESR’s CryoBoost active cooling technology also cuts heat by as much as 11.7°F / 6.5°C, helping maintain peak charging performance while staying whisper-quiet at 25 dB or less from 5 feet away.
The ESR Cyclone 25W Magnetic Charging Pad with CryoBoost is rapid charging in a snap, designed with an adjustable stand that switches between portrait and landscape modes with angle support from 0° to 150° for StandBy, and a longer 5.9 ft cable included in the box so you can safely continue to use your iPhone for browsing and playing even while it charges. The Cyclone is ESR’s smallest CryoBoost-supported charger to date, coming in at just 79g in weight and 15mm in thickness, but it doesn’t sacrifice strength. The Cyclone offers 2,000g of magnetic strength — more than 2.5x stronger than Apple’s charging pad. The ESR Cyclone 25W Magnetic Charging Pad with CryoBoost will launch in three colorways: black, silver, and red for those of us who like a little extra pizzazz for our phone accessories.
Surprisingly, the Cyclone magnetic charging pad is not ESR’s smallest charger for the iPhone 18. That honor is bestowed on the impossibly small ESR Xtend 45W retractable charger (promo code: MJARV5BO), which packs a shocking 60W of max dynamic power with a 95cm retractable braided cable for added flexibility on the go.
The extra reach is especially useful in airports, hotels, or other travel scenarios. Powered by PD 3.2 AVS protocol, it can charge an iPhone 18 Pro at 50% in 15 minutes. The ESR Xtend can also safely fast-charge laptops, phones, and other smart devices and is exceptionally portable, capable of charging multiple devices with its 95cm long retractable braided cable that is designed to withstand up to 20,000 pulls and retractions and 10,000 bends. It's reliable enough to withstand daily use and powerful enough to effectively charge two devices together, all while keeping cord-clutter to a minimum. The Xtend is also TÜV-Certified for safe charging and packed with safety features like under- and over-voltage protection and real-time temperature monitoring.
Make the most of your new iPhone with additional accessories
The style and versatile functionality of ESR accessories don’t have to stop with your iPhone.
One of Apple’s most loved iPhone accessories is, unsurprisingly, AirPods. You might, however, think that AirPods are just what they are, and there isn’t much room for improvement, but you would be wrong. ESR offers an innovative magnetic locking system for AirPods cases. Dubbed FlickLock™, ESR Cyber FlickLock™ Magnetic Case offers superior AirPods protection that is double secured with an internal latch and maximum magnetic attraction.

The ESR Cyber FlickLock™ Magnetic Case provides effortless MagSafe charging with 260g of magnetic strength — 136% stronger than AirPods —for compatible AirPods models, including AirPods Pro 3, AirPods Pro 2/1, and AirPods 5/4.
ESR’s magnetic magic can also be found in its Geo Magnetic Wallet Stand Grip, a MagSafe wallet that is fully Apple-certified for Find My functionality and Siri voice search capabilities. Its premium hinge supports stable 15°–170° adjustment in portrait or landscape mode, while the Wallet Stand Grip locks in with a 3,200g magnetic lock (that’s over 4x stronger than Apple’s!) and secures your essentials with RFID Blocking.
And of course, there’s the Apple Watch to consider. Why shouldn’t it be effortlessly stylish and comfortable enough to wear all day? The ESR Equinox Watch Band features a pin-and-fold lock for peace of mind via a low-profile closure that doesn’t take away from the style of the custom folding clasp that provides a quick and easy on-and-off experience. Meanwhile, the advanced skin-friendly HNBR material and ventilation cutouts — available in three new colors, including Black, Blue, and Starlight — offer lasting comfort from the boardroom to the gym.
