Apple announced its new iPhone 16 series at the company's live event on Monday, and that means buyers will be looking for protective cases for their fancy new phones. Beats, Apple's music-focused subsidiary known for its headphones and earbuds, is now getting into the business of dressing up iPhones. Beats' new line of cases is designed to work with the iPhone 16's special features.

"We're delighted to introduce the first iPhone case designed by Beats," said Beats vice president Oliver Schusser, in a press release. "Beats has always been synonymous with distinctive style and vibrant colors and our new cases are the perfect way to accessorize the new iPhone 16 lineup."
The cases support the iPhone 16's buzzy Camera Control capability by using "a sapphire crystal coupled to a conductive layer that communicates finger movements." Built-in magnets allow the case to be used with MagSafe wireless charging. The cases cost $49 and are available for all variations of the iPhone 16 through the Apple store online.
The new Apple phones will be available for pre-order Sept. 13, and available in stores as of Sept. 20.
