When Apple announced the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus [1] and with it, the demise of the headphone jack, people collectively lost their minds. Sure, Apple packs in a headphone jack dongle with each new iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, but what if you needed to charge your phone at the same time? And don't get anyone started on the AirPods [2] that are both expensive and require charging every five hours. That's why one company has decided to do what no one else has (yet): create an iPhone case that brings back the headphone jack [3].
Fuze created an iPhone case that puts a Lightning adapter and 3.5mm headphone jack at the bottom of the case. Plus, you also get a bulit-in battery that offers power when your iPhone is low. The company is currently fundraising on Indiegogo [4] to make this case a reality. At the time of writing, it's raised $20,414 of its $60,000 goal. The case comes in five colors: white, black, gold, blue, and rose gold and costs $59 (while the reward lasts). You can expect the case to ship in December — meaning you'd only have to deal with the lack of a headphone jack for a few months, if you decide to buy it.
This is definitely a better solution than some products [5] out there that offer an endless tangle of cords and adapters. Watch the video above — it might convince you to buy into this idea.
