iPhone Cases Get Feather…and Leather

iPhone Cases Get Feather...and Leather

iPhone 3G accessories are almost as commonplace as iPhones themselves, but that doesn’t mean interesting new items don’t appear on the scene from time to time. Two new iPhone cases do a good job summing up the diversity of the market: one’s a tough, feature-laden leather item, while the other offers slim, barely-there protection.

First up, the ezView Leather Case for iPhone 3G offers a substantial, high-grade black leather case for the iPhone, while still maintaining full access to the unit’s touch screen and home button. The flip case also functions as a built-in stand (with non-skid feet!), handy for watching video, photos, or album art—or just taking in all the fish in your iPhone koi pond. The case also provides access to iPhone ports and camera, features a removable spring-loaded belt clip, and features a little storage for credit cards or other small items. The ezView Leather Case for iPhone 3G is available now for $34.99.

If that seems too bulky, the Incipio Feather Slim Form Fitted Case for iPhone 3G is a sleek, protective case made from polymer: it’s less than 1 mm thick and offers a matte finish available in a variety of colors (black, green, turquoise, white, and magenta, at last check). The case comes with two surface protectors for the iPhone 3G screen, and packs a cleaning cloth for the iPhone. The Incipio Feather case is available now for $19.99.

I tried a new Android phone that puts some of the best smartphone cameras to shame
The rear camera setup on the Oppo Find X8 Pro.

It’s been a few years since I was surprised by a smartphone camera’s zoom performance. With Samsung offering 100x zoom on its Galaxy S Ultra lineup, little has shocked me with smartphone cameras — until now.

The Oppo Find X8 series is the successor to the Find X7 series from last year, and alongside several other improvements, there’s also been a significant upgrade in one area: the 30x zoom. Oppo and OnePlus have great cameras at shorter zoom distances, and at a recent briefing, I discovered that we can now add the 30x zoom to the list.

A few days ago, Google Gemini appeared in the Apple App Store for a user in the Philippines, who was even able to download it. We took it as a sign that the new AI assistant would soon make its way to the App Store in the U.S. Well, we were right, as you can now download Gemini as a standalone app on your iPhone, after previously only being able to access it through a browser.

The Gemini app is free to download and has a surprising number of features available. More powerful functions are available for a $20-per-month subscription, but you can try Gemini Advanced out for one month for free. It grants priority access to new features and gives a "1 million token" context window.
