The Spigen Classic LS series iPhone 17 Pro accessories pay homage to Apple’s Macintosh 128K<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s no secret that while I embrace tech, I have a fondness for the past. Wireless speakers and streaming audio? Awesome. At last count I had 30+ wireless speakers in my office. But when I really want to kick back and enjoy the experience of listening to music, I ditch the wireless for records spinning on a turntable hooked up to a vintage Pioneer receiver driving a pair of PSB bookshelf speakers. When it comes to my iPhone\u2013which I am never without\u2013this leaning toward nostalgia is also there. Since I have to slap on a protective case anyway, this is an opportunity to customize the iPhone to reflect my tastes. Two of my recent purchases for my iPhone 17 Pro Max are the Spigen Classic LS case and phone strap, and the Black Cassette case from Pela.<\/p>\n

The first does a solid job of dressing the iPhone up like a classic Apple Macintosh 128K computer, the second turns my iPhone into a convincing (though oversized) version of an audio cassette.<\/p>\n

Spigen Classic LS Collection<\/h3>\n

When I first heard about the about Spigen\u2019s Classic LS series for the iPhone, I was hooked. The company released a protective case and wrist strap designed to make an iPhone look like a 1984 era Apple Macintosh 128K. The classic Mac look was achieved with the distinctive gray plastic of Apple\u2019s all-in-one, the sculpted appearance of a disk drive slot, a modified multicolor Spigen logo in a nod to the Apple logo of that era, buttons inspired by the Mac\u2019s keyboard and the iconic \u201chello\u201d startup engraved on one of them. <\/p>\n

Even better, the Classic LS is part of a series of Apple Macintosh 128K-inspired iPhone accessories (each sold separately). The Spigen Classic LS collection includes the case, wrist strap, MagSafe wallet and an AirPods Pro case cover that looks like the classic Apple mouse.<\/p>\n
