The Spigen Classic LS series iPhone 17 Pro accessories pay homage to Apple’s Macintosh 128K<\/p>\n

It\u2019s no secret that while I embrace tech, I have a fondness for the past. Wireless speakers and streaming audio? Awesome. At last count I had 30+ wireless speakers in my office. But when I really want to kick back and enjoy the experience of listening to music, I ditch the wireless for records spinning on a turntable<\/a> hooked up to a vintage Pioneer receiver driving a pair of PSB bookshelf speakers. When it comes to my iPhone\u2013which I am never without\u2013this leaning toward nostalgia is also there. Since I have to slap on a protective case anyway, this is an opportunity to customize the iPhone to reflect my tastes. Two of my recent purchases for my iPhone 17 Pro Max are the Spigen Classic LS case and phone strap, and the Black Cassette case from Pela.<\/p>\n The first does a solid job of dressing the iPhone up like a classic Apple Macintosh 128K computer, the second turns my iPhone into a convincing (though oversized) version of an audio cassette.<\/p>\n Spigen Classic LS Collection<\/p>\n When I first heard about the about Spigen\u2019s Classic LS series for the iPhone, I was hooked. The company released a protective case and wrist strap designed to make an iPhone look like a 1984 era Apple Macintosh 128K. The classic Mac look was achieved with the distinctive gray plastic of Apple\u2019s all-in-one, the sculpted appearance of a disk drive slot, a modified multicolor Spigen logo in a nod to the Apple logo of that era, buttons inspired by the Mac\u2019s keyboard and the iconic \u201chello\u201d startup engraved on one of them. <\/p>\n The Spigen Classic LS case for iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max<\/p>\n Spigen<\/p>\n Even better, the Classic LS is part of a series of Apple Macintosh 128K-inspired iPhone accessories (each sold separately). The Spigen Classic LS collection<\/a> includes the case, wrist strap, MagSafe wallet and an AirPods Pro case cover that looks like the classic Apple mouse.<\/p>\n The Classic LS wrist strap continues the Macintosh theme<\/p>\n Spigen<\/p>\n The $59.99 Classic LS case is made of polycarbonate and thermoplastic polyurethane with raised edges around the display and camera bump, providing everyday protection for your iPhone. It also has a complete set of buttons (including a touch button for the camera), cutouts and is MagSafe compatible. Available for the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max, the Classic LS has frequently been sold out on the Spigen website, but I was able to get mine from Amazon.<\/p>\n Classic Apple mouse, or AirPods 3 case? <\/p>\n SpigenPela Black Cassette iPhone Case<\/p>\n Pela iPhone cases are primarily manufactured in British Columbia and are focused on sustainability. They are made from non-toxic, BPA-free flax shive and a plant based biopolymer that make them compostable. And the company donates to a wide range of environmental charities and organizations, including Save the Waves, Ocean Conservancy and the WWF. The cases are flexible and easy to grip. MagSafe is $10 extra. I\u2019ve been using these with various iPhones over the past several years and find they offer effective protection, but pair a case with the company\u2019s screen protector and Pela will pay up to $500 toward screen repair should your iPhone be damaged.<\/p>\n Pela’s Black Cassette iPhone case<\/p>\n Brad Moon<\/p>\n Outside of the sustainable approach and protection, Pela offers a wide range of designs printed on the case. My favorite (and one that I\u2019ve ordered for several iPhones including the $75.00 version with MagSafe for my iPhone 17 Pro Max) is the Black Cassette<\/a>. <\/p>\n This case is a throwback to the age of audio cassettes. I\u2019ve had multiple people come up to me at concerts and other events when I\u2019ve had this case on, asking where I got it. My kids have no idea what it\u2019s supposed to be, but for a certain demographic this iPhone case really hits home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Spigen Classic LS series iPhone 17 Pro accessories pay homage to Apple’s Macintosh 128K Spigen It\u2019s no…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":443259,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[226377,226378,226379,226376,111,139,69,137707,145],"class_list":["post-443258","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-audio-casette","tag-iphone-17-pro-case","tag-iphone-17-pro-max-case","tag-mac-classic","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-spigen","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/443258","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=443258"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/443258\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/443259"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=443258"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=443258"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=443258"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
