This iPhone case by Jimmy Fallon and J.Crew doubles as a pocket square

Jimmy Fallon and J.Crew Introduce the Pocket Dial™
You could just wear a pocket square, but that’s so 2014. To get you up to speed with the times, Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon paired up with J.Crew to design an iPhone case that doubles as a pocket square. That’s right — now your pocket square is connected.

The pocket square comes as a clip on to the leather case, which can be used for the iPhone 6 or 6S. Just pop it on the case, put your phone in your front blazer pocket, and voilà. You’ll look so stylish that no one will ever know you’re packing an iPhone. Just make sure your blazer’s front pocket is large enough to fit the phone. In the video, Fallon’s “Pocket Dial” sinks a little too low, unlike the photos on J.Crew’s website.

In the video, Fallon jokes that it’s a good way to up your style game and keep your phone safe. He says he came up with he idea and used a hot glue gun to make the first prototype.

There are three styles to choose from: polka-dotted, gingerbread man, or white linen. The gingerbread man is undeniably festive, but the white and polka dot versions will last you through the whole year, regardless of the season.

While the nerdy accessory can be a fun gift for the holidays, the best part of this collaboration is that the proceeds from purchasing the Pocket Dial will go to the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, a Kenya-based charity that protects elephants from poaching and extinction.

You can grab the Pocket Dial from J.Crew for $48. Additional Pocket Redials, which is actually just the fabric portion, will cost you $15 each. If you’re interested, you can get the case on J. Crew’s website here.

This Galaxy S23 Ultra case gives Samsung users a huge iPhone 14 feature
A person holding the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.

Samsung has finally revealed the next generation of Galaxy smartphones: the Galaxy S23, S23 Plus, and S23 Ultra. Though you can preorder the Galaxy S23 right now, the phones won’t be shipping until February 17, 2023. But you can always start prepping for your shiny new toy by picking up some of the best Galaxy S23 cases and S23 screen protectors right now.

I did notice one interesting case from Spigen, one of the more well-known and popular case makers with plenty of affordable offerings. I’m specifically pointing out the Spigen Ultra Hybrid OneTap MagSafe Ring case for the S23 Ultra. I’m not sure why this case is only for the Ultra and not the regular S23 or S23 Plus, but it is doing something that I wish all case manufacturers would do — for both Android and iPhone. And, yes, it's one of the best Galaxy S23 Ultra cases on the market.

Will your iPhone 13 case fit the iPhone 14?

If you've decided to buy the iPhone 14, it's likely you will also need a solid case to keep your new device safe. Even though all of the iPhone 14 models feature a durable Ceramic Shield front cover to keep your device safe, it may not be enough to protect your phone from heavy impacts, long drops, and constant scratches.
We've already done the hard work and rounded up the best iPhone 14 cases available in the market right now, and we've also given you a guide to the best iPhone 14 screen protectors for extra security, as well as guides for each of the other new iPhones as well. But maybe you're wondering, "Do I really have to spend money on a new case after buying an $800 iPhone?" or "Can’t I just use my iPhone 13 case?" 
We feel you. But the short answer is: for some models. Here's the longer answer. 
Will the iPhone 13 case fit the iPhone 14 device?

The iPhone 13 and iPhone 14 look quite similar, and the specs are pretty close in terms of size and dimensions, so it's possible the two devices can share a case. The iPhone 14 is slightly thicker than its predecessor, but the overall differences are minor enough that the iPhone 13 case is likely to be functional enough for your new iPhone 14 model. Some manufacturers are already selling a common case for iPhone 13 and iPhone 14, so if you're migrating from iPhone 13 to iPhone 14, you can keep the old case. Of course, if you feel the fit isn't good enough, you can always invest in a new case.

Apple Podcasts

Sometimes the classic is the best. The native Apple Podcasts app comes pre-setup and is free to use, so you likely won't need to look at other podcast apps at all. You get access to millions of podcasts, including some of the most popular ones like The Daily and Stuff You Should Know. While the free version is more than enough, you can also buy subscriptions to specific podcasts to enjoy additional benefits. Apple Podcasts hosts several subscriber-only shows like podcasts by CNN, NPR, and The Washington Post. Like Subtstack, some creators offer both free and paid content, so you can decide whether you enjoy their episodes before subscribing. 
Apple Podcasts also offers personalized recommendations based on your listening history so you can always find interesting episodes based on your interests. It works with Siri so you just ask the assistant to play any episode or playlist of your choice, so you can listen hands-free while working out or doing chores.
