Kansas driver’s license law puts some transgender residents in ID limbo A new Kansas law has effectively invalidated the driver’s licenses and other government-issued documents of transgender residents, leaving many in legal and personal limbo. Senate Bill 244, which went into effect immediately after the legislature overrode Gov.

The company describes it as a “ribbed open structure” that fully encloses the iPhone while expanding to hold additional everyday items. When stretched, the material subtly reveals its contents and allows a peek at the phone’s display.

The Pocket comes in two versions: short for $149.95 and long for $229.95. It will be available starting Friday at select Apple stores and online. Social media reactions have been mixed, with some mocking the design and price, comparing it to a “cut-up sock” or a Borat-style outfit, while others praised its aesthetic and Miyake-inspired craftsmanship. The short version comes in lemon, mandarin, purple, pink, peacock, sapphire, cinnamon, and black, while the long version is offered in sapphire, cinnamon, and black. Apple says the accessory reinterprets the utility of its pleated clothing into a modern everyday object.
