ISSEY MIYAKE’s and Apple’s iPhone Pocket is inspired by the concept of “a piece of cloth,” its singular 3D-knitted construction is designed to fit any iPhone as well as all pocketable items. It went on sale today, Friday, November 14th and quickly sold out across America, in both short and long sizes, and all in all colors.
William Gallagher for AppleInsider:
There was no denying that an iPhone in this Pocket looked snuggly. There was definitely no denying that the accessory was well designed.
There’s also no question that it was about as goofy as the iPod Sock from back the in the day.
But there was every denying of the price. The iPhone Pocket came in a short version for $150, and a longer one for $230…
As ever, though, if you liked it, if you had a use for it, and if you had the budget, there was no reason left not to buy.
MacDailyNews Take: Hope you moved fast, iPhone Pocket lovers! Apple and Issey had better get back to knitting!
