Cosmic Orange gift guide: 30 gifts to match the ultra-bright iPhone 17 Pro

Macworld

Apple stunned the world with its bold new Cosmic Orange color for the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max. I can’t even name the other colors they are available in… Dark Blue? Sort of White? Who cares? It has to be orange!

Decision made, now comes the real challenge: accessorizing. If you’re going to walk around with a phone that looks like a tiny glowing sunset, you can’t just pair it with any random case, cable, or charger. This is a color that demands commitment.

There are plenty of orange things out these but which of them most closely matches the new iPhone? Known to others as Papaya with the Pantone specification 15-1243, Apple’s Cosmic Orange is a vivid, slightly lighter orange with a bit more yellow than a traditional copper tone. It’s special, just like your iPhone.

We’ve rounded up the best orange accessories to turn your phone into a fully coordinated citrus masterpiece. Even if you don’t yet own a Cosmic Orange iPhone, you have a grotto of gaudy goodies to gift to your friends who do.

Kuxiu X40 Turbo 25W 3-in-1 Foldable Wireless Charging Stand




Kuxiu

First on any iPhone user’s list should be a fast charger and this up-to-the-minute Qi 2.2-certified gadget is as fast a wireless iPhone charger as you can get: 25W of raw power, which is perfect for the iPhone 17 family. Even if it was 5W it wouldn’t really matter, would it? It’s a glorious orange!

It folds right down to a pocketable 2.5-inch square and 0.7-inch deep 5oz tiny slab. But of course it’s finest attribute isn’t the premium build or tiny form factor, but its glowing Cosmic Orange color.

Find the Cosmic Orange X40 Turbo in the U.S. through Kuxiu ($79), while U.K. orangeers can get it on Amazon (£66).



Journey MOTION Apple Watch Sport Band




Journey

There are a bunch of orange Apple Watch bands to choose from, in orangy colors such as “Terracotta” and “Turmeric”, but we think the closest match to the iPhone 17 Pro is the orange MOTION Sport Band from Aussie brand Journey.

At $59/£49, it’s also more affordable (at Journey) than the selection of pricey bands on offer at the Apple Store. Match your wrist to your iPhone and you’ll bring brightness to your day as soon as you wake up.



UAG Civilian Case




UAG

If the Cosmic Orange iPhone is so gorgeous, why cover it up in a dull case? Sacrilege, surely. Think again… the iPhone Pro is too lovely to risk dents and dings or a shattered screen, but you still want the world to know you’re hip to be orange. Just like the army of orange Watch straps, there are many orange iPhone cases, but our fave is the ultra-thin UAG Civilian ($65) that isn’t as fancy as some but offers great defensive strength, including 20-foot (6m) drop protection. UAG doesn’t limit its orange to the Civilian; it has juicy versions of its Monarch Pro and Pathfinder cases, too.

If you must have an Apple case, skip the iPhone 17 Pro clear case that’s more white than clear. Instead, opt for the Orange iPhone 17 Pro Silicone Case with MagSafe ($49) or Sierra Orange Beats iPhone 17 Pro Rugged Case ($79), both pictured below—you can even buy the Beats case for a humble iPhone 17—we won’t tell anyone if you don’t.




Apple



dbrand Cosmic Orange Skins




dbrand

We love the dbrand iPhone cases, too, but here we highlight their shameless and self-confessed “flawless colormatched knock-off” skins that can transform a ton of other products into Cosmic Orange beauty. Whether your MacBook, iPad, AirPods, or one of hundreds of even non-Apple products (even Android phones) can now cosplay as an iPhone 17 Pro Max.

The skins are precisely cut vinyl wraps that adhere to a device for the custom Cosmic look, offering scratch protection without adding any bulk. Take a look at all the tempting things to wrap in dbrand orange here with prices starting below $40.



Belkin BoostCharge Pro 2-in-1 Wireless Charging Pad




Belkin

Why put your iPhone on a black or white charging pad when you can power up your cheery Cosmic Orange iPhone and sad white AirPods on the beautifully orange Belkin BoostCharge Pro Wireless Charging Pad ($75/£74). Certified by Apple with its MagSafe badge, this flat charging pad can hit 15W of power—not as fast as the 25W Kuxiu X40 Turbo but speedy enough on your nightstand while you doze from orange sunset to sunrise.



Bellroy Butterscotch backpacks, bags and slings




Bellroy

Bellroy doesn’t label the boldest color available in its range of laptop backpacks as orange or cosmic, but this “Butterscotch” backpack will go great with your iPhone 17 Pro.

In Butterscotch, Bellroy has a Classic Daypack or larger Classic Backpack (16L or 20L), both with a protective 16-inch laptop sleeve. If that weren’t enough, you can pick up a Classic Tote, Getaway Bag, and even a Sling with padded iPhone protection. Prices start at $99.



Orbitkey Travel Sling




Orbitkey

Sometimes you need top do something else other than gaze at your beautiful orange iPhone. Really. Keep your iPhone and all its accessories (orange of course) in the weather-resistant $89 Orbitkey Travel Sling, which hosts a surprisingly generous 3L capacity and can be worn as a crossbody or carried as a compact pouch. There’s a quick access front zip pocket, a wide opening for effortless access to all compartments, and inside you’ll find integrated mesh pockets. Hidden RFID-blocking pockets and an anti-theft zipper locking system keep digital theft and pickpockets at bay – without impairing your access.



Torras Cosmic Orange Special Set




Torras

Best known for its iPhone cases, Torras has gone all-in on orange with its Cosmic Orange Special Set ($165/£128) that includes a color-matched case, screen protector, charger, and crossfit strap.

To be fair, the screen protector is helpfully clear rather than orange but the application tray makes up for it. You can buy the charger separately (see below) and choose between the Cosmic Orange LoopGo Flex Crossbody Phone Lanyard and Apple’s plain Orange Crossbody Strap.



Torras Icenano FoldPro Fast Charger Block 45W Orange




Torras

If you don’t need the full set, you’ll be happy with the tiny orange charger. Built with a Gallium Nitride (GaN) chip, Torras’s Icenano FoldPro USB-C wall charger ($35) is cooler in temperature (and therefore smaller and lighter) but much hotter in attitude. At 45W, it’s got plenty to spare when fast-charging your iPhone 17 Pro Max, and can even power up your MacBook Air.



Case Logic Reflect Laptop Sleeve




Case Logic

Your MacBook will thank you for the 6mm of dense memory foam that provides a protective cushion and the plush interior lining that defends the laptop from scratches, but forget all that stuff because the outside of the Case Logic Reflect Laptop Sleeve ($45) is a very Cosmic Orange, so you can hide that Silver or Space Gray monstrosity.



Antler Heritage Leather AirPods Case, plus luggage tags and straps in Coral




Antler

Looking for a little class with your iPhone 17 Pro on your next trip? Then look no further than Antler’s lovely Coral range of travel accessories (from $20 / £14), including luggage tags and straps, packing cubes and even a cute orange AirPods case ($75 / £55). You’re not fooling anyone, Antler… your accessories are orange, not coral… unless they are actually made of coral, of course.



Weatherman umbellas




Weatherman

It doesn’t rain but it pours Cosmic Orange gear on us, and we have just the thing for it—the Rusty Orange Weatherman Travel Umbrella ($69/£60). You’ll be delighted to see clouds in the sky when it means you can hoist our orange one proudly through the deluge without fear of getting our other Cosmic Orange goodies drenched.

However… Rusty Orange? Surely, an umbrella this colorful won’t let your IP68-rated iPhone actually corrode.



Logitech POP Icon Orange Keyboard




Logitech

Back at your desk, sometimes you have to use an old-school computer rather than your Cosmic Orange iPhone, even if it is a 17 Pro Max. Apple does make an orange version of its Magic Keyboard, but unless you can find a used one, you’ll need to buy an orange iMac to get it (see below).

So rest your eyes on this orange-accented keyboard from Logitech. The POP Icon Keyboard ($49/£49) in Off White & Orange isn’t completely orange, but all the letters and funny symbols are. As it connects via Bluetooth, you can even pair it with your iPhone and ditch the desktop altogether.



Orange Apple iMac




Apple

One of Apple’s first G3 iMacs was orange—or “Tangerine” as Steve Jobs called it. In those days, however, orange wasn’t as hip as it is today, and the Tangerine iMac was a bit of a failure, at least compared to Blueberry and Strawberry. (Fun orange fact: the iMac’s designer, Jony Ive, used to work at a design agency called Tangerine.)

Fortunately, Tim Cook has forgotten the Tangerine Nightmare, and you can buy a colorful iMac again (from $1,299/£1,299) and this time in Orange—not Cosmic but very close, at least on the back. The iMac even comes with a keyboard and mouse with orange accents.



Other orange Apple stuff




Apple

In fact, Apple makes quite a few things under its orange umbrella, even if they aren’t as cosmic as the iPhone. You can buy an AirTag Key Ring and MagSafe Wallet both in “Fox Orange”, Crossbody Strap for your iPhone, and an orange HomePod mini, Electric Orange PowerBeats Pro 2, and some faded orange AirPods Max.

Issey Miyake iPhone Pocket




Apple

Ok, so this is a long shot, but you might even be tempted by one of the craziest accessories on the Apple Store: the $149/£139 iPhone Pocket by Issey Miyake—available in “Mandarin”. Mandarin? Orange, ok? It’s not technically an Apple product, even if it is clearly inspired by the legendary and no doubt highly successful (I’ve forgotten) iPod Socks—also available in orange but long gone by now.



Anker MagGo Power Bank (5K, Slim) – Coral




Apple

Consulting the electronic brain of AI, I learned that Coral is either “a pinkish-orange or an orange-pink”. While the Antler luggage accessories in Coral avoided any sort of pinkness in favor of a very Cosmic Orange, Anker’s MagGo Power Bank in Coral (£49; not available in the U.S. for some reason) is decidedly un-orange pink, which actually might be useful if reports are true that the orange iPhone turns pink when scrubbed too hard with cleaning agents.
