Uniqlo sells these in a bunch of different colors. It's $3.90 for a pack of two.

Probably works better and lasts longer.

iPhone Pocket in the short strap design retails at $149.95 (U.S.), and the long strap design at $229.95 (U.S.).

Knitting a phone purse that will be 200 smackaroonies please.

[–] booty@hexbear.net 8 points 1 day ago

Even if they said these were $15 and $22 I'd still think they were overpriced.

How much does a spool of knitting nylon cost? curious-marx

I’ve joked before that Apple is a fashion company in denial, but now I take this back.

Fashion companies should make things that are….well…fashionable.

It's the prada of the computer world for sure, it's for rubes with more money than sense.

[–] Monk3brain3@hexbear.net 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's a great way to get robbed lmao. Half the shit these fuckers make has no utility.

Let me take the most valuable thing out of my bag, put it in its own $230 highly snatchable bag, and color it highlighter yellow.

It's gotta be intentional right. Like let's get more of our credulous consumers to have their iPhone stolen so they come back and buy another one.

[–] Marxism_Sympathizer@hexbear.net 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

actually amazing. completely phoning it in, this might be the worst apple scam ive ever seen (which is saying something), and i bet apple fanboys still buy this shit in droves

[–] Cat_Daddy@hexbear.net 19 points 1 day ago

From the title, I expected it to be the announcement of a new iPhone version that's small enough to fit in your pocket.

[–] SuperZutsuki@hexbear.net 17 points 1 day ago

They're going to sell so many of these in Japan lol. Everyone has something like this already but this is the OFFICIAL one and it's fAsHiOn

[–] roux@hexbear.net 10 points 1 day ago

Un-fucking-real...

[–] Strayce@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

With shit like this I can never figure out if they're sitting there laughing at the people who buy it, or if they actually believe in what they're doing. Either way is horrifying, but I'm never sure which particular flavour of disgust I should be feeling.

[–] nixus@anarchist.nexus 3 points 1 day ago

I thought they gave up the game long ago when they started selling those stupid wheels. This feels like they realised that, no matter how dumb their product is, people will buy it, so why not?

[–] bobs_guns@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 1 day ago

Lol, well it sure beats the guy who turned his framework 12 into a purse by the expansion card slots

[–] Cat_Daddy@hexbear.net 8 points 1 day ago

That's a comm we need. Toast smellers. For shit like this.
