What you need to know

Microsoft's new Surface Duo 2 is on the way.
After you've spent a minimum of $1,499 on that device, consider ponying up $89 more for a case.
OtterBox's Duo 2 case is a slim hard-shell model with port cover functionality for dirt buildup prevention.

Update 2/1/2022: The case is now shipping from Otterbox. If you're waiting on the Microsoft store listing to make your purchase... keep waiting.

Update 11/17/2021: The Microsoft Store is now listing the Otterbox case for Surface Duo 2 along with new photos of it with the phone (seen here). There is still no release date, although it is expected to arrive sometime in November.

In the event you're not behind on any car payments after putting down $1,499 (at minimum) for your Surface Duo 2, consider plopping down $89 more for a case to go with the two-screen successor to the original Surface Duo, a device Microsoft put on sub-$400 firesales throughout most of 2021.
