We’ve been waiting for these slick iPhone accessories for a good few months now and are thrilled that Poddities straps and loops have arrived just in time for us to crown them as THE perfect stocking stuffers this holiday. Available from always-reliable Amazon, the straps come in natural and black leather or red, orange, yellow, green, blue, gray, and white seatbelt-weave styles. Get rid of that nasty case and flaunt your newly pimped iPhone!

“The designs, rooted in the Netsuke tradition, lie at the heart of Japanese culture and aim to combine both style and function. The leather loop strap allows users to use the iPhone while being attached to a belt, while the leather hook and seatbelt-weave straps enable users to gain a more solid grip of the sometimes slippery iPhone surface. This makes it easier to fetch the phone from your pocket or bag. By making the phone less prone to dropping, we hope to replace the bulky cases that get in the way of the iPhone’s sleek design.”

Coming soon from Poddities: pink straps (!), carabiner models and, as the designer behind the product line put it: a neck-strap version for the Flavor Flav’s out there…
