The United States Postal Service is still one of the hottest brands in apparel and accessories. And we discovered that the USPS merchandise store, which it used to raise some precious funds during a difficult year, is robust to say the least.
Now the postal service is teaming up with CASETiFY for a new line of phone cases, AirPods cases, Apple Watch bands and a “USPS Fan Club” crewneck sweatshirt.

CASETiFY also did collaboration lines with brands like Heinz, “Stranger Things” and Hello Kitty.
The USPS collection includes 16 variations of iPhone cases, including ones made for the new iPhone 12, eight AirPods cases, four Apple Watch bands and four grip stands.

Like a lot of branded collaborations, the items are going for high prices. Not quite Kanye 2020 prices or J Balvin prices, but the cheapest item in the collection—the 2-in-1 Grip Stand—runs $25.
The “USPS Fan Club” crewneck will run you $80.
The most important part of all of this is that it directly benefits the USPS, which was the whole reason so many people—especially the younger generations leading up to the election—wanted to support the postal service by buying merchandise.
“Inspired by the Postal Service that delivers every day, this collection is our own love letter to USPS employees for always comin’ through when we need them most!” the CASETiFY site says.
Some of the items are so popular that they’re on a wait list, like two phone case designs. Like all good streetwear-inspired drops, these will no doubt be limited quantities, so fans should get shopping quickly.
