WaterField Launches iPhone Case Line

WaterField Launches iPhone Case Line

San Francisco’s WaterField Designs has launched three new cases for Apple’s iPhone—just as new iPhone owners start wondering how they’re going to keep those touchscreens scratch-free. The new cases include a jacket, a scratch-free hard case, and a travel pouch, each designed to meet different sets of needs.

The iPhone Smart Case is less than an inch thick and is made with a smooth material deisnged to easily slid in and out of a pocket, although the case also sports rubberized textile material on the sides to enable a firm gip. The case offers a multi-layered padding system designed to protect the phone from bumps and drops in addition to scrapes and scratches, and all stitches are internal to keep the outside profile neat and trim. The Smart Case is available in six colors (green, red, silver, brown, blue, and black) and three styles (a “slip” design for pockets, a “flap” design for shoulder straps, and a “clip” design for belts) at prices ranging from $35 to $39.

The iPhone Travel Case is designed not just for the iPhone, but for accessories like cables, chargers, and earphones. The bag features custom-sized interior compartments and self-locking zippers, and is available in small, medium, and large sizes depending on how much gear you need to haul around. It’s also available in six colors (black, blue, brown, green, red, and silver) at prices ranging from $35 to $39.

All that a little too much for you? Consider the $9 iPhone Suede Jacket. It fits the iPhone snugly, can double as a screen wipe, and is guaranteed to look cool in any retro lounge.

All three cases are available now from the WaterField Designs site.

the Google extensions feature on iPhone

Google announced Thursday that it has released a new native Gemini app for iOS that will give iPhone users free, direct access to the chatbot without the need for a mobile web browser.

The Gemini mobile app has been available for Android since February, when the platform transitioned from the older Bard branding. However, iOS users could only access the AI on their phones through either the mobile Google app or via a web browser. This new app provides a more streamlined means of chatting with the bot as well as a host of new (to iOS) features.

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.
