Taylor Swift<\/a>‘s upcoming studio album The Life of a Showgirl<\/a> probably wasn’t the muse for Apple’s new Cosmic Orange iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max<\/a>, as many Swifties theorized<\/a>. But it did inspire a new case for those handsets.<\/p>\n

The popular mobile accessories brand OtterBox has launched a new limited-edition phone case called the Encore<\/a>, a $60 entry in its slim Symmetry Series<\/a> with a distinct glittery orange design. Its moniker and product details don’t directly name-drop Swift or TLOAS, but the Easter eggs are in screaming color<\/a> (quite literally).<\/p>\n

“Symmetry Series Clear Encore is a new era<\/a> in case aesthetics, standing center stage with brilliant sparkles and high energy,” reads its description on OtterBox’s website. The first bullet point on its feature list hails it as “the case of the year to match the album of the year.” <\/p>\n

For added context, the internet has been awash in tangerine ever since Swift announced TLOAS in mid-August. The Cruel Summer singer, 35, assigns a different color scheme to each of her album eras \u2014\u00a0a tone-setter that doubles as a clever marketing tool, experts told Billboard<\/a>. She’s claimed bright orange for her Showgirl era, and its main vinyl variant is pressed in Portofino Orange Glitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Even more incriminatingly, though, a press image poses the Encore next to sparkly showgirl-apt accessories and two of Taylor’s classic calling cards: friendship bracelet beads<\/a>, a lyrical reference that evolved into an Eras Tour tradition; and (ding ding ding!) a tube of red lipstick<\/a>. A promo video for it also features a song that sounds identical to “Shake it Off” instrumentals. The only way the Encore could get even Swiftier is if people try to flip it for thousands of dollars<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As an OtterBox Symmetry Series case, the Encore features a scratch-resistant polycarbonate shell with raised edges that protect the phone’s screen and camera from drop damage. It’s not as durable as the brand’s Commuter, Sole, and Defender Series cases, but it’s a tad tougher than its entry-level Profile styles. It comes with built-in magnets to support wireless charging and compatible accessories (like MagSafe grips, stands, and wallets<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The Encore is priced at $59.99 and up for preorder exclusively on OtterBox’s website<\/a>, where a 25% discount is available for shoppers who bundle it with a screen protector<\/a> or power accessory<\/a>. It’s available for the new iPhone 17, 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max, 16, 16 Pro, 16 Pro Max, 15, and the Galaxy S25 Ultra. (Versions for the iPhone 16e, iPhone 15, iPhone 14, and iPhone 13 are coming soon<\/a>.) All in-stock variants were estimated to ship on Saturday, Oct. 18, at the time of writing.<\/p>\n

The Life of a Showgirl itself comes out on Friday, Oct. 3, and you can preorder it through Target<\/a> or Swift’s online store<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Taylor Swift‘s upcoming studio album The Life of a Showgirl probably wasn’t the muse for Apple’s new Cosmic…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":449570,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3159],"tags":[547,53,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-449569","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mobile","8":"tag-mobile","9":"tag-technology","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115263087805487644","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/449569","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=449569"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/449569\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/449570"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=449569"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=449569"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=449569"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
