What is the iPhone Pocket?
The iPhone Pocket is a knitted phone sling created by Apple in collaboration with Issey Miyake. It stretches to hold an iPhone and can carry small everyday items. Android Authority described it as “effectively a phone sock on a sling that can be worn or tied to a bag.” The short and long strap options offer different ways to carry it; the product is not a silicone case or a second phone.
Are there cheaper iPhone sock sleeves?
Yes. Third-party phone sleeves and pouches are available through marketplaces, and some observed Etsy listings cost a small fraction of the iPhone Pocket’s reported price. Examples captured in 2026 included:
