My god. Are we not men? I put my phone in my back pocket.

So it makes it into a purse? Yuck.

It's the iPod Socks of our time

iPod socks were amazing though!! 😝 I still have all my old iPods in the socks haha

Straps in general aren’t a bad idea, per se, but these aren’t exactly stylish

I recently got one from Target for $20 that’s a paperclip chain link, and I really like it!

Despite the fact that I'm not going to buy a strap, I could see myself using some sort of paracord to attach to my phone. I like the idea. It's adaptable.

The bumper is pretty thick:

Oh, and it's 45 €. 😂

It’s thick, but it’ll help with grip, some corner/side protection, and let the design stand out. I love it!

That green TechWoven fabric looks like the seat covers we had on an old DeSoto.

I saw a lot of younger women wearing crossbody phone straps in Paris this summer. Seems to be a trend.

For the life of me I have no idea who would ever use the crossbody strap and how.

I see single moms rocking phones on crossbody straps all the time. It’s really stupid fashion, but there’s certainly market for it.

That strap is gonna give thieves a whole bunch of opportunities, awesome!

Yeah it’s almost an invitation to thieves isn’t it?

Apple should have a condition of purchase for this, that you must have the AppleCare damage theft and loss tier.

You forgot the $39 bumper for the Air. Weirdly, it doesn't show up in the cases filter.

iPhone Air Bumper – Light Blue

Slim and light, the iPhone Air Bumper dazzles on it’s own. Pair with the Crossbody Strap to wear your iPhone hands-free. Buy now at apple.com.

That’s $38.99 of pure profit there.

Even the Mac Pro wheels think these items are grossly overpriced!

Man, I know this is nitpicky but I really don't like the lanyard holes on the bottom of all the new cases.

Agreed. Even more entrances for dirt and grime. Thanks Apple. Seriously! Who carries their phone like that - is it so that others can see they have an iPhone? The phone is totally exposed for impact.

I'm sure there are some who think it's really fancy. But I think it's almost the stupidest thing I've seen from Apple.

People all over Asia are using phone straps. I think Moms and women in general will be interested.

For the life of me I have no idea who would ever use the crossbody strap and how.

So so so many people use them. I don’t know where you live, or with whom you interact, but they are insanely popular in SoCal where I live. Especially, but not exclusively, among girls and women.

I still prefer a pocket, but I’m in the minority.

I am a phone face down guy, but still I think any kind of case that dos not protect the lenses is kinda wack.
