Beats has launched a new collection of cases to go with Apple's latest
iPhones, including one with a removable lanyard that doubles as a kickstand.
Lanyards and cross-body straps for phones are becoming pretty common these
days. If you're someone who travels every now and then, they can help protect
you from pickpockets or from accidentally leaving your phone behind while you
struggle with your luggage. The lanyard on Beats' case comes with something
extra: It has an adaptor at the end that slides open and attaches to a
magnetic part on the side of the case so that it can act as a kickstand for
hands-free phone use. The Beats iPhone 17 Kickstand Case with MagSafe &
Camera Control is available in Granite Gray, Bedrock Blue, Lime Stone and
Pebble Pink. You can get it from Apple's website for $59.

The new collection also includes a basic case that Beats describes as "thin,
light, and precisely crafted." It's available in the same colors, with the
same matte hard outer shell that prevents fingerprints and an interior
microfiber lining. This model will set you back $45 and is the only one in
the collection that you can get for the iPhone Air.

Finally, the Beats iPhone 17 Rugged Case with MagSafe & Camera Control will
give you some extra protection if you tend to drop your devices. Beats
designed it with a rugged polymer backing that's complemented by impact-
absorbing sidewalls. It has an enclosed bottom for enhanced protection and a
textured matte exterior to give you a good grip on your phone. The
manufacturer said it put the case through repeated drop and scratch tests, as
well as multiple thermal, mechanical and chemical tests to simulate real
world use. Beats' rugged case is available in Everest Black, Rocky Blue,
Alpine Gray and Sierra Orange for $79.
