Belkin and Spigen Debut Apple Vision Pro Accessories

[MacRumors]

With pre-orders now available for the Vision Pro, the first accessories for the upcoming device are starting to come out. So far, both Belkin and Spigen have announced Vision Pro-related products.

Belkin worked with Apple to design a Battery Holder for the Vision Pro Battery Pack. Priced at $50, the Belkin Battery Holder for Apple Vision Pro is the only non-Apple accessory that Apple is selling for Vision Pro at this time.

The Vision Pro battery fits inside the Battery Holder, which can be worn with a cross-body strap or a cable clip that clips on to a belt or pants. Apple is selling the accessory as an add-on for those that do not have a pocket to put the battery in while wearing the Vision Pro.

Spigen has debuted a Vision Pro pouch that offers protection for the device when it's not in use. Priced at $90, Spigen's case is more than $100 cheaper than the $200 Vision Pro Travel Case that Apple is selling.

Spigen's case features a nylon exterior, leather carrying strap, and an EVA shell for protection. There's a padded interior that secures the Vision Pro in place, along with a secret AirTag compartment for tracking the Vision Pro. It also appears to have space for the Vision Pro battery pack, cable, and ZEISS lens inserts. The case is set to deliver between February 21 and 23, so it won't be available right at launch day.

Other accessory makers like Speck have started teasing Vision Pro products ranging from carrying cases to battery holders, so it shouldn't be long before we see a whole range of Vision Pro accessory options.

The secret airtag compartment isn't so secret anymore...

And the Spigen pouch is already sold out on their website and unavailable on Amazon. That didn’t take long.

The Apple travel case is the best design I've seen from the company in years, but will stick to a shoebox. This is a personal, home computer for me.

Of note, clips to connect the battery to a mobile battery will be hot, but also 3d printable.

That case is tempting

I intend to have a peasant carry mine around on a velvet pillow when I'm not immersed in spatial euphoria. These are nice though.

Literally predicted this would happen a few days ago. What I really care about is third party batteries and straps. If Apple is charging $200 for that little puck, imagine how big a battery you could get from Anker if they make one. Or a better strap that’s not as pretty but super comfortable

You'd think for the price that Apple could have made a belt clip for the battery pack.

Cheaper to leave it out and let third party companies gouge your customers.

I'm not a Scrooge type, but all these accessories are so overpriced

 

[Fuzzball84]

Wait… 3499 and it doesn't cone with a holder for the battery???

Whahahaha

They are always overpriced… have you seen the price of some accessories for AirTag? They are more expensive than AirTag itself.

Ive massively reduced my purchase of accessories for all my devices. Im much more ruthless in buying what i require, and not just buying what id like or might need.

I ordered the case by Spigen, it looks nice, even an AirTag holder. And I like the dark color.

Don't get all budget conscious now apple fans . Haha

 

[Amazing Iceman]

The Spigen case sounds very interesting…
But the Belkin battery holder… for $50 I could purchase 2 or 3 cargo pants and carry at least 4 batteries at a time!

We need an Apple iPeasant Pro. With AppleCarry+. And FineVelvet pillows.

Lucky. Sold out now. Crazy.

I just saw this article about 30 minutes ago but by the time I went to the link it was already unavailable. I guess I will have to wait a bit longer, but I'm not trying to pay $200 for a case.

Wonder how many Spigen made? If they sold 1000 cases today, that's $200,000. Not a bad day for them.

Does anyone remember when Apple wouldn't crap on early adopters and include several accessories as kind of a thank you for buying their latest unproven product? When I got my iPod it came with a dock, a belt clip, a headphone wire extender with controls in it, a little bag to carry your accessories. I think iPhone had something similar, at least it came with a dock in the first iPhone and maybe a belt clip?

I remember docks. Belt clips were always third party. My first iPod case / clip was an owc leather one

I looked it up and was mistaken. The bag was the "carrying case" it came with.

Except that the Spigen case only costs $90–so that would’ve been $90K. That‘s not much considering their annual revenue is over $300 million.

Accessory makers will quickly catch up with the availability of this product. How many iPhone cases is there? How many iPad cases? There's a few carrying case options for even Mac Studio.

Give especially them Asian nations a few more days. There will probably be 10 varieties by Feb 2 and 20 or 30 within weeks after these are in the wild and very specific measurements are readily available.

And I recall many great third-party batteries from OWC over many years... often improving on the amount of time they deliver vs. the Apple stock ones. I would expect them to have some good batteries and accessories soon... along with various other companies too.

This was day 1 of pre-launch. Time will reveal global entrepreneurs scrambling to deliver some desirable add-on accessory purchases ASAP. There's somewhat easy money to be made by not being towards last to the key accessories party.

Yep agreed. It's a poor purchase to get the Apple case here. It's pretty, sure, but it will turn black/grey in use, as white is a terrible color for a case of this type. That Spigen looks good, and expect to see cheaper alternatives at a half or third of the price, too.
