Fake iPhone Pocket hits Alibaba, Apple’s pricey pouch meets its match

Apple teamed up with ISSEY MIYAKE to drop the iPhone Pocket and people lost their minds over what basically amounts to a fancy phone sleeve. The short strap version runs $150 while the long strap hits $230, which apparently was enough to get the knockoff machine fired up over on Alibaba.

Clones are already flooding the market for about 10 bucks, sitting at a wild 93 percent discount compared to the official gear. The fakes skip the designer label but otherwise look identical to the real deal. Anyone buying the legit version is chasing status rather than function, and that pressure might push some folks toward the cheap rip-offs instead.
