For the iPhone Duo
Made for the fold.
One-piece leather cases for Apple's first foldable. Hinge covered, kickstand built in, MagSafe straight through. Designed in Aotearoa, finished in Queensland.
Three collections, one shell
Same case. Three ways to carry it.
Every ĀHUA shares one one-piece shell, one leather, full hinge coverage and a kickstand. What changes is how loudly it speaks.
Essentials
Plain form. Everyday character.
A plain colour, a beautiful leather finish, a small wordmark. Nothing shouting.

Built for the Duo
On a foldable, the hinge fails first. So we started there.
One piece, hinge covered
A single shell that wraps the fold — the part Apple's own two-piece case leaves open, and the first thing to fail on any foldable.
Kickstand, no adhesive
Concealed, multi-angle, both orientations. Nothing stuck on, nothing to peel off after a summer in the car.
MagSafe straight through
MagSafe and Qi2 to 25W without taking the case off. We tell you the one honest trade-off on the FAQ.
Outer protector in, inner out
The cover screen gets a tempered protector in the box. The folding screen doesn't — and we explain why, because nobody else will.
Our artists
Colour. Identity. Everyday.
Expression artwork is commissioned from Māori artists under written agreement. The artist is named on the product page and the box, and earns a royalty on every case sold. Nothing goes out without the artist seeing it first.
Kiwiana · in development
A little piece of home.
The next drop. Three concepts we're finishing rights and production on — join the drops list and you'll hear first.
Goodnight Kiwi
The kiwi, the cat, the Sky Tower and a very late bedtime.
Four Square
Mr Four Square, always here for you — licensing in progress.
Ten Cent
The koruru from the ten-cent coin, pressed into copper-toned leather.
Concept exploration. Artwork, rights and production to be confirmed before release.
Straight answers
The questions nobody else is answering yet.
Does the iPhone Duo need a screen protector?
Outer screen: yes — Ceramic Shield 2 glass takes a normal tempered protector and one is included. Inner folding screen: no. It ships with a factory-bonded layer and third-party films cause delamination and crease bubbling. Apple sells none. Leave it alone.
Do iPhone Duo cases cover the hinge?
Most don't — Apple's own is two pieces and most third-party cases are two or three. ĀHUA is one piece and wraps the fold fully.
When will my pre-order ship?
October 2026. Apple ships the Duo on 23 October; we fit-test on a retail unit, then finish and post in the order pre-orders came in. Cancel any time before then for a full refund.
What does ĀHUA mean?
Te reo Māori for form, shape and character — the way something appears, and what it is really like underneath.
