Surely, you’re not going to order the special edition iPhone 7 and then slap on a case that covers up that beautiful red aluminum.

Accessories company Casetify is offering a clear case for the (PRODUCT)RED iPhone 7 and 7 Plus with 40 different designs that turn the red back plate of the housing into an artistic canvas.

Each case is $40 with a red bumper grip that frames the clear hard plastic shell. Most of the designs are a chroma of white that matches the bitten Apple logo, though some incorporate a graphic black.

Select an inspirational quote, an impressionistic swirl of waves or a whimsical poodle to name a few of the design options.

You can scroll through two pages of designs here. An extra $20 will buy a tempered glass screen protector.

Casetify rolled out the new line Thursday, less than 24 hours before the (PRODUCT)RED iPhones become available for online order (Friday, 8:01 a.m Pacific).

Apple has offered (PRODUCT)RED iPods and iPhone cases to support the Global Fund for HIV/AIDS programs, however, this is the first time it has issued an iPhone edition in red. The RED iPhone 7 and 7 Plus will cost the same ($749 for the 128GB iPhone 7 and $869 for 128GB iPhone 7 Plus). Apple did not issue the PRODUCT(RED) handsets in 32GB.
