Best iPhone XR clear case alternatives to Apple’s official $40 option

Best iPhone XR Clear Case
From $8

As we reported earlier this morning, Apple will be introducing a clear case for iPhone XR. While Apple has offered a number of leather and silicone cases, this is the first time that they’ve offered an in-house see-through option. But before you go running to the Apple store there’s something we need to tell you. Paying $40+ for a clear case is outrageous. As you’d expect, Apple is going to have a hefty markup on this new product while the market is filled with lower-cost alternatives. Head below for our roundup of the best iPhone XR clear case alternatives that cost a fraction of Apple’s official option.

Apple cuts BeatsX pricing & color options, but they’re still cheaper elsewhere

Apple has simplified its lineup of BeatsX headphones. Prior to today, the company sold seven color options of the W1-enabled headphones at $149.95, but that lineup has been cut to just two colors and a more affordable $119.95 price point.

Despite the BeatsX pricing changes at Apple, however, you can still find them for less at various other retailers.

Adding a wall charger or USB battery pack to your arsenal can help, but you’ll still need to carry an Apple Watch charging puck. The simplest way to remedy your low-battery notification blues is to add a portable charger with everything integrated into one product. Head below for the best portable Apple Watch chargers.
