It was only yesterday that I was slating Apple<\/a>‘s new crossbody iPhone strap, calling it the style sin of the century, but now I fear I must eat my metaphorical hat. In tandem with the release of the iPhone 17, Apple has dropped a lanyard-cum-kickstand case that I surprisingly don’t hate \u2013 in fact, (although it pains me to say) I quite like it.<\/p>\n

While the iPhone 17 is thinner, sexier and likely to top our list as the best iPhone for photography, <\/a>I’ve been fixated on how the new drop might reinvent the wheel for accessories. With the Beats iPhone 17 Pro Kickstand Case going for $59 at Apple<\/a>, it’s sadly subject to the brand’s premium prices, but the innovative design has piqued my interest (although perhaps not enough to buy a brand-new iPhone 17).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The kickstand case’s main appeal is obviously its transforming strap \u2013 if you’re not too fussed on this extra, I’d save your pennies and opt for a bog standard case.<\/p>\n

Apple’s not the first to drop a custom phone strap \u2013 Nothing’s $25 CMF Phone Lanyard<\/a> is more than half the price. If you’re not an Apple purist, it’s a far more budget-friendly (and I dare say, more stylish) option.<\/p>\n
