Wrap Your iPhone 6/6s in Luxurious Argentinian Leather with the Vaja Grip

No matter how durable your iPhone 6/6s might be, it’s always a good idea to add a case to it for some extra protection. If you’re looking for a case that will not only protect your phone but adds to its visual appeal as well, the Vaja Grip premium leather case could just be a perfect match.

Vaja cases and leathergoods have a reputation for being beautiful, functional, and well-made. The Vaja Grip is a simple, snap-on hardshell case wrapped in luxuriously soft and supple Argentinian leather. The back of the case is wrapped in gorgeous natural-grain leather, while inside, the leather is embossed with the Vaja brand and logo. The inner layer provides a scratch-free surface for your phone to lay on while in the case. The smooth and shiny leather complements the stainless steel accent plate on the bottom of the case with Vaja’s logo. Around the case are ample-sized cutouts for all the buttons, ports, and the camera, for unimpeded access to your phone’s features and controls. The phone slips into the case with ease and fits snugly for an almost seamless second skin.

This case is remarkably low-profile and thin adding only a tiny sliver to the thickness of the phone. The texture of the leather provides you a warmer hand-feel and more grip over the cold, slippery aluminum of the unprotected iPhone. On the front of the case, around the perimeter of the screen, there is a raised rim that lifts and protects your phone’s screen when it is dropped or placed face down on a flat surface. Even with a tempered glass screen protector installed on the phone, there was enough clearance from the lip to keep the screen from lying directly on a table. The rigid sides and rounded corners of the case offer decent shock protection from bumps and drops.

Each Vaja Grip case comes with a suede leather pouch which comes in handy when carrying your phone in your bag or pockets. The pouch does not cover the entire phone though, and a portion will stick out of the top, so you can easily remove your phone. This leather sleeve also functions well as a cleaning cloth and is excellent for removing fingerprints and oil on your screen since the leather absorbs and lifts them rather than pushes the dirt around.

Elegance and quality come at a premium over your run-of-the-mill plastic and rubber cases. The Vaja Grip is available on MobileFun in several off-the-shelf color combinations for $107 including the Floater Black and Rosso style we tested, which sports a deep black exterior and bold red interior. However, you can also customize your color choices when ordering directly on Vaja’s website, starting at $120, including shipping.

iPhone 17 series could finally end Apple’s stingy era of slow screens

Apple has played a relatively slow innovation game when it comes to display upgrades on its phones. The company took its own sweet time embracing OLED screens, then did the same with getting rid of the ugly notch, and still has a lot of ground to cover at adopting high refresh rate panels.

The status could finally change next year. According to Korea-based ET News, which cites an industry source, Apple will fit an LTPO (low-temperature polycrystalline oxide) screen across the entire iPhone 17 series, including the rumored slim version and the entry-point model.

Over the past few months, multiple reports have popped up on Reddit and Apple’s official product forum regarding an iPhone 14 Plus issue that renders a black screen instead of a frame preview in the camera app. It seems Apple has finally caught wind of the complaints and has launched a servicing program to help affected owners.

“Apple has determined that the rear camera on a very small percentage of iPhone 14 Plus devices may exhibit no preview. Affected devices were manufactured between April 10, 2023, to April 28, 2024,” says the company.

By this time next year, Apple may have installed its own in-house Wi-Fi chips in all of its phones, or at least one of them.

According to Ming-Chi Kuo, a well-known analyst with a trusted record, Apple is working on its own Wi-Fi chips to replace the current ones from Broadcom, but there's not a firm timeline on when they'll arrive (via MacRumors). He says the iPhone 17 Pro might come equipped with this new chip, but other sources suggest it won't get widespread adoption until the iPhone 18.
