iPhone Air Gets New Accessories: MagSafe Case, Bumpers, and Crossbody Strap

[MacRumors]

Alongside the unveiling of the new iPhone Air, Apple today announced new accessories for the ultra-thin iPhone, including the iPhone Air Case with MagSafe, iPhone Air Bumper, and Crossbody Strap.

The new iPhone Air Case with MagSafe is a translucent case that is less than 1mm thick, with Frost and Shadow options. Meanwhile, the iPhone Air Bumper (shown above) is a lightweight polycarbonate bumper case that wraps around the edge of the iPhone Air, with Tan, Light Gray, Light Blue, and Black color options.

Finally, there is a Crossbody Strap that attaches directly to select new iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, and iPhone Air cases, including the iPhone Air Case with MagSafe, iPhone Air Bumper, TechWoven Cases, and Silicone Cases. It costs $59, and it is available in 10 colors: black, light gray, blue, light blue, purple, sienna, green, neon yellow, tan, and orange.

With the Crossbody Strap, you can wear your iPhone. It is essentially a magnetic lanyard, with stainless steel sliding mechanisms for adjusting the length.

It is truly tablet size phone if you have to carry it with a big strap. Apple should have called it iPhablet.

Return of the bumper!!!

 

[Dadcelo]

I quite like the bumper

 

[macduke]

Wow, the bumper. I feel young again. NO, YOU'RE HOLDING IT WRONG! Haha. Hopefully the camera doesn't have a big green spot in the center...

If I ever see one of these straps out in the wild I am going to laugh my ass off.

are phone lanyards gonna be a hit or vision pro?

I love the bumper!

Loving the bumper - pretty much exactly what I want until my current bumper maker comes out an iPhone Air compatible number (Raegr brand).

I guess some of you have never worn a lanyard or satchel in your entire life. Some people need access to their phone constantly at work in production settings and don’t want to leave it on a desk accidentally or go phishing for it in their pocket

Definitely not considering getting the strap. The new clear case seems to be good. Don't think the bumper case will offer much protection.

I wanted the bumper case for the pro, lol

Holding on to my mini with dear life, it just need a pocket.

 

[SebCohen]

That's actually eastetically very good. And I've been looking for something bumperesque since I got my 15P...

My thoughts exactly. I was watching the presentation with my friend on Discord, he was excited for the return of the MagSafe battery pack, and I said about "the 'you're holding it wrong' bumpers" being back as well!

My wife already has a strap on but if this iPhone Air has a delicate Taptic Engine I might try it out.

It seems as though the only problem with the bumper is that it leaves the camera totally unprotected. This wasn't a problem in the iPhone 4 days because the camera didn't extend past the body, IIRC. You drop this thing in just the right spot, and that camera is toast.

My current case on my iPhone 16 Pro extends just enough so that the lens won't make contact with the ground if the phone were to drop.

Emailing their pocket?

What exactly is the difference between the clear case and the bumper case for the Air?
