Genius iPhone 7 case to bring back headphone jack

Apple may have killed the headphone jack in the iPhone 7, but a new, sleek case is trying to bring it back, Business Insider reports.

"What people put into their own ear holes is a very personal choice, and it's a choice we should all get the chance to make — not one that should be made for us," Diego Prince, a hardware developer from Austin, Texas, said in a video announcing the cases, which would be made for iPhone 7 and 7 Plus.

Prince and his cofounder Troy Osinoff just launched an Indiegogo campaign, saying they plan to ship in December if the campaign reaches its goal. "Early Bird" backers can reserve one case for $49 plus shipping.

According to the campaign site, the Fuze takes the adapter dongle that Apple included with the iPhone 7 and builds it directly into the case, restoring the 3.5 mm headphone jack. It also has an extended battery pack and, as most cases should, protects the phone from damage if it's dropped.

The battery pack would provide about extra eight hours of power, according to Prince.
