Apple Re-Launches Popular iPhone Accessory
Apple is once again selling its Hikawa Grip & Stand for iPhone, this time in three new colors and at a lower price than the original limited-edition run.
Designed by LA-based artist Bailey Hikawa and now produced by PopSockets, the accessory magnetically attaches to any MagSafe-compatible iPhone and functions as both a grip and a stand, with two viewing angles in either portrait or landscape orientation.
The new colors available include Orange Swirl, Glow Blue, and Speckled Stone. Pricing in the U.S. is $54.95, down from the original's $69.95, now that the product has moved from limited-edition status to standard production.
Hikawa developed the grip in collaboration with people who have a range of disabilities affecting hand strength, dexterity, and mobility.
The grip is available now on Apple's online store, with current delivery estimates ranging from three to four weeks.
