The new Bumper case is unnecessary if you have a Surface Duo 2, but it's also an excellent accessory with a crazy $40 price tag.

Microsoft's Surface Duo 2 brings with it many upgrades in hardware over the first generation, though it does so at a cost, literally. Surface Duo 2 is not only $100 more, but you also now get fewer accessories with no AC wall plug (a common theme for all phones these days) as well as no Surface Duo Bumper case. All those reasons make the $40 Surface Duo 2 Bumper a tough pill to swallow, even if it doesn't quite feel as necessary to have this time.
