Apple recently teamed up with Japanese fashion brand ISSEY MIYAKE to create the iPhone Pocket, a limited-edition knitted accessory designed to carry an iPhone. However, it is now completely sold out in all countries where it was released.

iPhone Pocket became available to order on Apple's online store starting Friday, November 14, in the United States, France, China, Italy, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, and the United Kingdom. It quickly sold out in the United States, but some colors and size options were still available in South Korea and a few other countries until the past few days.

The accessory was offered in short and long sizes, in a variety of colors:
  • Short: Lemon, Mandarin, Purple, Pink, Peacock, Sapphire, Cinnamon, and Black
  • Long: Sapphire, Cinnamon, and Black
In the U.S., pricing ranged from $149.95 to $229.95.

iPhone Pocket is designed to be versatile. It can fully enclose an iPhone, but you can stretch it to peek at your screen and/or fit additional items. The accessory can be held in your hand, tied onto a bag, or worn directly on you.

Here is how Apple describes the iPhone Pocket:
Crafted in Japan, iPhone Pocket features a singular 3D-knitted construction that is the result of research and development carried out at ISSEY MIYAKE. The design drew inspiration from the concept of "a piece of cloth" and reinterpreted the everyday utility of the brand's iconic pleated clothing. The development and design of iPhone Pocket unfolded in close collaboration with the Apple Design Studio, which provided insight into design and production throughout.

Given it is a limited-edition accessory, it is unclear if there will ever be additional inventory of the iPhone Pocket now that it is fully sold out worldwide.

It would be fun if they released something more similar to the iPod Sock that could be used for an iPhone or even a sock-like sleeve for an iPad to keep in bags and that would be, at most, like $79 for one. Even that is excessive, but it's Apple.
 
Note to self: Do not check eBay completed sales to see how much was paid to lucky scalpers for unopened iPhone Pockets.

"Why is this so expensive?"

It sells out.

That's why!

Apple knew people would pay that for this, so they priced it accordingly. I do question why someone would pay that much money for this, but that's their decision. I'll keep my money for something *I* want to pay too much money for. :)
 
Wait a minute. Pricing started at $149? What are these made out of, Merino? Genuine, cruelty-free unicorn hair?
 
Blessed are the anointed few who seized the opportunity for glory. Those of us unwashed who must place the Magical and Amazing iPhone® in a pants pocket or common handbag will carry the cross of our shame each time we leave our hovel and dare present in public.

once again, Apple fails to properly forecast demand? They made too many iPhone Airs, not enough Phone Bikinis!
