A Look at Apple’s $230 iPhone Pocket – Is This Cloth Pouch Worth It?

Apple has recently introduced a unique new accessory called the iPhone Pocket — a premium cloth-style pouch designed for people who want to carry their iPhone in a fashionable way. Priced at $229, this product has already created a lot of buzz. Today on hellobuddybd.com, we take a closer look at what the iPhone Pocket offers, who it’s for, and whether it’s worth the high price.

What Is the iPhone Pocket?

The iPhone Pocket is a 3D-knitted cloth pouch made in collaboration with the fashion brand ISSEY MIYAKE.

It’s designed not only as a phone holder but also as a lifestyle accessory you can wear like a mini-bag.

It comes in two styles:

Long strap version – around $229

Short strap version – around $149

Both versions are made from a soft knitted textile that stretches to hold your iPhone securely.

Design and Build Quality

Apple and ISSEY MIYAKE focused heavily on the fashion appeal of this product.

Key design features include:

A stretchable knitted texture that forms around the iPhone

Lightweight yet premium feel

Multiple color options

Minimalist Apple-style design

A strap that allows cross-body or handheld carry

This accessory is clearly targeted toward people who treat their iPhone as part of their outfit — not just a gadget.

How It’s Used

The iPhone Pocket can be carried in several ways:

Cross-body, like a small sling bag

On the wrist, using the shorter strap

Attached to a handbag, using the flexible loop strap

It fits almost all iPhone models and can also hold small items like cards or AirPods — but it is not designed for heavy use.
