Save Up to $19 on Beats Cases to Protect Your Shiny New iPhone 17

Apple’s next-gen phones hit shelves this Friday, so keep yours looking brand new with cases on sale for as low as $37.

There’s nothing worse than scratching or damaging a new phone after you just dropped $800 (or significantly more) on it. So if you’ve already preordered the iPhone 17, which hits shelves this Friday, Sept. 19, you’ll want to invest in a proper case before it arrives. Beats has a variety of different cases for the new lineup, and right now Amazon has select colors available for significantly less than you’d pay at the Apple Store.

There are three different case styles available. Apple has the basic case listed for $45, the kickstand case for $59 and the rugged case for $79. Amazon may not always show the discount, but the online retailer does have a variety of these cases available for less right now, though prices vary quite a bit depending on the color and style. If you’re after the basic case, you’ll find it available for as little as $37, which saves you $8. Or, if you want the kickstand case, which also comes with a removable lanyard, you can pick it up for around $48, which saves you $11 compared to the usual price. You can also find the rugged case on sale for as low as $60, which saves you a respectable $19.

Once again, just remember that prices vary quite a bit by color, so the exact configuration you’re looking for may not be discounted right now. Also note that there’s no set expiration for these deals, so they could disappear at any moment.

Why these deals matter

The latest and greatest Apple phones don’t come cheap, so if you’re getting the iPhone 17 as soon as it launches this week, you’ll want to make sure it’s protected with a case. Beats makes a variety of simple, stylish and functional cases, and while they can get a little pricey, this is a great chance to grab one for less. Amazon is offering discounts of up to $19 off right now, with prices starting at just $37.
