"For this experiment, I wore the crossbody strap with the iPhone Air. It just seemed like these two were made for each other. Apple also sent the very basic bumper case, a polycarbonate bumper that runs along the periphery of the phone and attaches to the strap. The combination of the two seemed like a perfect fit, even if my wife commented that I looked like a suburban soccer mom wearing it. Here's how things went."
"As someone with a bad back and leg, I often walk with a cane, and this is especially true in airports. With one hand on a cane and the other on my luggage, it can be hard to present my boarding pass in the United App when called for. This was the area where the crossbody strap came in most handy. Rather than having to dig into my pants pocket, I was able to just grab the phone and present it as needed."
The crossbody strap connects to the two lanyard holes on iPhone 17 cases and is made from fabric woven with magnets plus two adjustment buckles. The strap magnetically holds itself tidy when the buckles are moved. A basic polycarbonate bumper case attaches to the strap for a cohesive carry solution. Hands-free wearing enables quick retrieval and presentation of the phone in constrained situations, such as while using a cane or handling luggage at airports. The strap also makes the phone a visible fashion accessory that may not appeal to every user.
