MagBak Elite for iPhone Duo: Most Advanced Case Yet

Published

on

Initial pre-orders have sold out twice so far.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LOS ANGELES – MagBak opened pre-orders for MagBak Elite for iPhone Duo, an $89 case uniquely engineered for the first folding Apple phone.

Unlike typical smart phones, a foldable phone changes shape several dozen times a day. MagBak Elite is built to adapt to this and make every use more flexible and enjoyable.

“Designing for a foldable phone means designing a case that actually works for multiple form factors. As we were creating Elite for Duo, we wanted to create a case that made the larger screen easier to use all while protecting the components and including MagBak’s signature features,” said Ronny I., head of product at MagBak. “Mounted on the fridge while you cook. Propped open on a plane to watch a movie. Charging in your car. Wallet on the back for every day carry ease. We built Elite for Duo so that all of it works whether open or folded.”

The Elite Case supports wireless charging and, thanks to the integrated finger loop,  extends how much of the screen a thumb can reach one-handed. Grip grooves along the edge make the case easier to open. Raised corner lips and air-cushioned corners absorb impact. Buttons and finger loops swap out in a range of colors.

And most importantly, MagBak’s signature magnetic mounting and charging sees it’s most advanced deployment yet.

A few of the innovations built into MagBak’s Elite for iPhone Duo Case:

360 Protection
MagBak’s Elite Case covers the whole phone with reinforced corners, and includes a screen protector for the front screen.

Kickstand
Elite’s built-in metal Kickstand supports portrait or landscape modes whether folded or unfolded. Clicks away securely when not in use.

Finger Loop
MagBak’s innovative silicone Finger Loop makes one-handed and two-handed use more comfortable and stable. The Finger Loop retracts when not in use and doesn’t interfere with charging.

MagSafe Charging
The Elite Case for Duo is compatible with 25W MagSafe charging. The case features precise magnetic alignment for efficient charging.

Magnetic Mounting
Magnet arrays in both the back panel and the hinge side mean the Duo sticks to any metal surface or MagBak’s MagStick mounting system in open or folded mode.

Spine Shield
The Spine Shield protects the hardest-working part of Duo, guarding the hinge without interfering with opening. It’s also magnetic for stable mounting when open.

MagBak Wallet for iPhone Duo
Compatibility with MagBak’s Smart Wallet, one of the only phone wallets sized to work with the iPhone Duo.

MagBak Duo Case Pricing and availability

MagBak Elite for iPhone Duo is $89, available for pre-order now at Magbak.com. Initial pre-orders have sold out twice so far, with new orders expected to ship mid-November.

Elite for Duo is available in Black and Beige. Swappable color packs are available in Red, White and Grey. Each case includes a MagStick and an external screen protector with installation kit.

Free U.S. shipping over $50. 30-day returns.

iPhone Duo Accessories: Compatible with MagBak Ecosystem

MagBak Elite Case for iPhone Duo works with the full MagBak ecosystem: the MagBak Wallet, MagSticks, the 3-in-1 MultiCharger, the Travel Charger, and MagBak phone mounts and chargers for cars and Tesla vehicles.

Racquel Oden to Receive The ELC’s 2026 Achievement Award for Leadership in Financial Services and Expanding Opportunity

Published

By

HSBC executive recognized for a career building businesses, developing talent, and widening access to wealth and financial prosperity

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Executive Leadership Council (ELC) will honor Racquel Oden, HSBC’s U.S. Head of International Wealth and Premier Banking and Private Banking, with the 2026 ELC Achievement Award at The ELC Recognition Gala on October 30, 2026, at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland.

With more than 25 years of financial services experience, Oden has built a career at the intersection of business growth, client leadership, and talent development. At HSBC, she leads businesses serving affluent and globally connected clients in the United States, bringing a client-first approach to one of the world’s largest financial services organizations.

“Racquel brings a rare combination of commercial discipline and genuine investment in people,” said Michael C. Hyter, President and CEO of The Executive Leadership Council. “She understands that leadership is measured in business results, certainly, but also in the people you prepare for greater responsibility and the doors you make easier for others to open. Her career reflects the kind of enterprise leadership The ELC has championed for 40 years.”

Oden’s career spans some of the world’s most prominent financial institutions. Prior to HSBC, she served as a Managing Director at JPMorgan Chase, where she led Network Expansion and held leadership roles across national sales, Consumer Banking and Wealth Management. She previously spent eight years at Merrill Lynch in several Managing Director roles and more than a decade at UBS in senior leadership positions. She began her Wall Street career in equity trading at Morgan Stanley.

Throughout that journey, Oden has described her leadership philosophy as one rooted in service and in helping people become the strongest versions of themselves. That philosophy also informs her work to expand access to wealth, opportunity, and financial fluency.

Her leadership extends across corporate and civic institutions. Oden serves on the corporate board of National Life Group and chairs the Board of Directors of the Thurgood Marshall College Fund. She also serves on the boards of the Apollo Theater and the New York City Police Foundation.

Her honors include the National Urban League’s 2026 Women of Power award and recognition among Barron’s Most Influential Women in Finance, American Banker’s Most Powerful Women in Finance and Forbes’ 50 Over 50.

Oden holds a Bachelor of Arts from James Madison University and an MBA from Hampton University.

The ELC Achievement Award recognizes corporate executives whose careers reflect exceptional professional accomplishment, leadership and impact. Oden joins a distinguished group of past ELC honorees whose influence has reached across companies, industries and communities.

The ELC Marks 40 Years of Developing Leaders
Oden will receive the Achievement Award during a milestone year for The Executive Leadership Council. Founded in 1986, The ELC is celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2026, marking four decades of developing leaders who perform at the highest levels of business and strengthening the leadership pipeline that sustains that excellence.

The 2026 ELC Recognition Gala will take place Friday, October 30, at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland. Hosted by Emmy Award-winning television journalist and Entertainment Tonight co-host Kevin Frazier, the black-tie celebration will feature a special musical performance by 10-time GRAMMY Award winner Chaka Khan.

The Gala is the signature fundraising event of The ELC’s 2026 Gala Week, October 28–31, which will bring together more than 3,000 members, students, senior executives and business leaders as The ELC celebrates its 40th anniversary.

Gala Week is designed to span the leadership journey. The Honors Symposium connects ELC Scholars with senior executives and hiring managers as they prepare to enter the workplace. The Mid-Level Managers’ Symposium develops high-performing professionals preparing for greater leadership responsibility. Corporate Board Navigator helps ELC members prepare for corporate board service.
