Of particular note is that, in applying the skins, I didn't have to temporarily remove my Microsoft Duo 2 Bumpers - as I'd hoped, there was just enough clearance inside the bumpers for the skins to settle down nicely.

Here's the back skin, and note that I opted to apply the matching wood skin over the camera island too - though leaving this jet black did also look rather striking, so I almost didn't use the last supplied material: My Duo 2 feels so much more secure in the hand now. As you can probably tell from the photos here, the XtremeSkins aren't just photographic patterns on smooth plastic - they're textured like the real thing, so here we get grain and masses (and masses) of extra grip. Plus, as I said above, I'm planning to remove the oak skin in a month's time anyway (to put the black leather one on), so I won't mind if the edges are obviously accessible.ДЄlthough seeing wood rather than glossy glass is something of a shock, the main benefit here isn't the cosmetics - it's the feel in the hand. I was a little apprehensive about fitting these accurately, since this was my first time fitting a 'skin', but a) the XtremeSkins video (embedded below) does a good job at showing what to do, and b) the two right angles inside the two hinges, for front and back, make aligning the skin a doddle and I didn't have to peel it off and try again at any point.ДЄfter fitting each skin, front and back, the video shows taking a hair dryer to the exposed (tiny) edges, just to help them stick to the Duo 2's glass, but I opted for a lower tech approach and just rubbed them down with my finger tips, which seemed to work just as well. Wood too, is a favourite of mine, such as on the Mozo back covers for the Lumia range, though of course here it's 'faux wood'(!)ДЄnyway, the plan is to try each of these for a month on my Surface Duo 2 and to report back. For example, back in the days of the Samsung Galaxy S4, I'd swap out the shiny plastic original back from Samsung and replace it with an after-market faux-leather-covered back. Not that the skins are expensive in the first place, at ВЈ11 a set, but to get two sets for that price was too good to pass up.Д«lack leather is a given, I've been opting for this off and on for a decade now.

Partly because I couldn't make my mind up which one to choose, but also partly because XtremeSkins had a 2-for-1 offer on. Onto what you get then - you might be curious as to why I ordered two sets. Moral of the tale is to always order stuff from your own country if you possibly can! NB: I did first order from dBrand, the market leader and based in the USA, but after a month nothing had arrived and they gave me a refund. Enter XtremeSkins, also available for just about every other phone in existence if you want to make a naked phone 'grippier', and bringing 'wood' to my phone for the first time since a Mozo back graced my Lumia 950 XL! With physical 'in situ' cases almost impossible because of the Duo 2's 'fold back' mechanics, the next best thing is a 'skin', a grippy adhesive panel on front and back to take the brunt of daily wear and tear and to help ensure the phone doesn't get dropped. And slippery isn't good for a relatively fragile folding smartphone.

But as time goes on the glass does acquire fingerprints and dust, plus it's always slippery. When clean and new, it feels and looks tremendous. This shell allows the smartphone to fold backwards (320В°).That Microsoft went with glossy oleophobic Gorilla Glass for the back and front of the Surface Duo 2 is a contentious issue.
